I seriously doubt it. But the florida game last year at night was one of the best i've seen cbs do. They should. And fire Vurn Lundquist and Gary Danielson while they're at it

vern and gary are terrible. There's at least a half-dozen comments they make that shocks me that this is the best CBS can do

Don't follow? CBS renewed its contract as well. Even under the terms of the new ESPN deal, CBS still gets first pick. It would be nice if that were a night game.

So that means if we have a 7:00 kickoff time, we don't get out until midnight?

I'm certainly no fan either. I hate CBS 2:30 pm games. They mentioned something during the Bama game about how special night games were in Death Valley. I was listing to it and thinking, "THEN QUIT SCHEDULING THESE DAMN THINGS AT 2:30!"

They mess up names the whole game. Here is a Did You Know - according to Danielson during the Ole Piss game, LSU's place kicker is Colt McCoy! Guess that QB thing at Texas didn't work out for him.

It does not matter. If the team does not come around next year we will be playing on Raycom at 11:30. If the team is really bad then all the home games will be at night because no network will pick them up. You will have your night games with a bad team.

Gary and Verne are terrible. They should get Keith Jackson out of retirement.

Until some MAJOR improvements are made in the offseason, I will be thinking.......all TigerVision.

Pretty sure that's a Tiger Rant synonym for the gospel or absolute truth.

Why so he can suck off USC the entire time?

Then that means we can get as trashed as we want for the games!!! If LSU loses the game, we can still win the party. I style myself as more of a glass half-full guy.

We always win the party. It would be nice to win the football game too.

I think CBS could get better and more well informed color commentary if they did a "pick up" selection of two random fans from somewhere in the stadium every week. Vern and Gary are two of the biggest misfits to ever call SEC games. That stupid Norwegian/Minnesota expression I hear them use almost every week "oofta!" (or something like that) doesn't translate very well to SEC ears. It would be really nice to hear a "y'all" or something resembling Southern accents during SEC network broadcasts on CBS.
