Alleva put this on LSUSports.net earlier today. Didn't see it here so sorry if Germans.

It seems he may have come through with the whole night games issue.


quote:

Through these conversations there has developed an understanding that CBS, ESPN and all its platforms will recognize the importance of LSU home night games in their scheduling process with assurances that every effort will be made to maximize the number of LSU home games at night. For example, CBS has agreed to limit the number of games played in their afternoon window. And I can assure you that the SEC Network will enhance LSU’s tradition of playing games at night in Tiger Stadium.


whole thing

All he did was get us every home game at night every year except Alabama (if cbs chooses another game for primetime) and Florida will be cbs games yearly.

I'll believe it when I see it. The SEC rarely looks out for our best interests.

What I hear is "Sure Joe, well think about LSU's night game tradition when doing our scheduling. Then do whatever the frick we want."



Yay for getting taken for a sucker.

I welcome more night games in Tiger Stadium, but I'm not convinced this is some great job by Alleva that got this done. In 2012, we had a very similar schedule to what we'll have in 2014; and 7 of 8 games were at night that year. We know CBS won't want the 3 cupcake games, MSU, or UK, and there's a good chance that Bama will be the CBS prime time game again. So, that leaves Ole Miss on October 25th as the lone candidate for a CBS game at home this year. And that happens to be the same day Bama and UT play, so CBS has a game that will likely have more appeal to them anyway.

If all of our 2015 games are at night too, then I'll say Alleva did a great job.

I'd rather an ESPN night game than CBS day game any time. Rotting in the sun for 6 hours sucks. ESPN means shorter games and night tradition, although I will believe it when I see it.

Is this really good for LSU? Will it cost us some big games on CBS? I hope we don't end up with 11:am/12pm games as a result. Hope I'm wrong.

Just deliver, Joe, don't promise.

It definitely feels like the good ole boys told our Yankee what he wanted to hear just to shut him up.

Well the sec is about maintaining tradition. So for them to not be completely full of shite, they need to maintain traditions from all the members, not a select few.
