I would imagine pretty high, but not sure. I guess this may also in part be a question of how each team's season is shaping up come late November. Looked at the CBS SEC schedule , and there is a gap for that weekend. I would assume that it will most likely be the Iron Bowl, which rules out 2:30pm. Dont really keep up with the contracts for SECN and whatever the hell Jefferson Pilot is now (if it still exists). Trying to figure out for travel planning for Thanksgiving that weekend. Thanks.

No, it's on Saturday this year because it's at TS. We don't do that dumb shite.

There's a very good chance this will be a night kickoff.

Are they moving this to Friday like they used to do with the Ark game? Or is this definitely on Saturday?

Didnt we make a deal with A&M saying that they could have their thanksgiving day dame at home if they play LSU at night in Death Valley?

Definitely Saturday. Almost a lock to be an evening or night game.

I think we forgot the clause in the TV contract that gives them (networks) the power to select the time that fits their benefit. It can be at night on Thanksgiving because a network isn't going to go against the Lions and Cowboys games. They will go against the crappy NFL network game. It all depends on what CBS wants in mid to late November and that depends on the records of LSU, A7M, Bama, and Eagle.

I'm sure no one watched the Seahawks/49'ers game last year on Thanksgiving night.

The night game was on NBC and LSU played on ESPN...

Also, a goof bit of Thursday games are also on CBS.

Seattle-49ers had 22.9 million viewers. LSU had 2.9

If I had to guess, it will be either a morning, afternoon, or night game. Not sure which one though.

You don't think an evening game is possible? Sorry but that's ridiculous

Out of habit, I kept calling its successor Jefferson Pilot after they gave the broadcast some shitty new name. I'm going to keep calling any games in the 11am-1pm slot Jefferson Pilot, and you should too. Same for any basketball games Joe Dean jr. is on the broadcast for.
