If everyone in the SEC whines tradition, why can't we demand night SEC games?

I know with TV that it makes it more difficult. But we should play their game and demand X number of night SEC games at home.

joe alleva is not man enough to show that kind of back bone and be taken seriously

Saban once said that we have to take everything that comes with success- and that includes day games to accommodate tv.

BECAUSE everything we want is always voted down 13-1. No ONE wants to play in TS at night and they will lie and say they don't care but that is not true.

Answered your own question right here, bub. Money runs the show and that will literally NEVER change.
Didn't read the thread but I'm sure people will blame Alleva. Idiots.

No one in the conference has that kind of leverage

Day games hate LSU

Allow me to provide the standard fatalistic Rant riposte:
Start times are governed by the SEC television contracts, there is nothing we can do! No one can do anything! Ever!

Except Saban when he wants to demand that the Iron bowl get moved back to Saturdays.

Its not so much of the day games that piss me of. Its the 230 kickoffs that are a buzz kill. I'd be happy 430

ALL contracts are negotiated. Either our athletic admins. don't have the foresight/skills and/OR the SEC doesn't give a crap about LSU traditions.
HOW did the AL @ LSU game end up being a GUARANTEED nite game ? Negotiations...that's how !

Well Alleva "demanded" that last yrs LSU/UA game would be at night because of the Nov 5th game the previous yr.
I just think its a product of being successful that some traditions have to go on the way side.

Or what? LSU leaves the SEC? Refuses to play on TV? Starts their own TV network and foregos the millions upon millions the SEC distributes to each school through their TV contact?
