Title: Vols vs. Tree Killers KO time still up in the air for another week... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on October 08, 2012, 06:50:23 EDT CBS is exercising it's "Six Day Option" for the 3:30 game, and will choose between us, crocs/cocks, and aTm/corndogs. ESPN will air the other two, one at noon and one in primetime. I have a feeling we'll get stuck with the noon game, and that sucks ass. :frown:

And since a noon Eastern kickoff would actually come at 11AM local time for LSU/aTm, we'll probably get stuck there. We're planning a HUGE tailgate that day, so I'm hoping for a late game. :banghead: Title: Re: Vols vs. Tree Killers KO time still up in the air for another week...

Even though USCe-gators is a much larger game than UT-bammer even with a USCe loss to LSU, the game might not have the "brand value" of a 4-2 UT vs. an undefeated bammer. USCe is good, but still less familar nationally. Title: Re: Vols vs. Tree Killers KO time still up in the air for another week... Post by: TallVol on October 08, 2012, 11:21:33 EDT Bama and the #1 rank will carry some weight for a primetime game for ESPN. I think if UT beats MSU this weekend and can possibly be ranked, that might influence for the later timeslot. I still think S.Car & Fla are the CBS game.

Come to think of it, unless CBS is doing a double header, I don't think any of the games mentioned will be a noon game. :confused: That's usually reserved for something like Auburn-Vandy I would think? Is CBS doing a double header? If not, I would expect that of the three games you listed, one would be 2:30 and the other two would be night games.

I thought ESPN only did Big 10 games at noon. But to quote the article: ESPN will televise the two games not selected by CBS Sports for slots at noon ET (11 a.m. CT) and primetime (between 7 – 7:45 p.m. ET / 6 – 6:45 p.m. CT). :dunno: Title: Re: Vols vs. Tree Killers KO time still up in the air for another week...

Hope we are the 2:30 or evening game either way. |
