LSU vs. Alabama Will Not Play At Night On CBS This Upcoming Season

by Staff Reporter

May 29, 201948 Comments

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

LSU and Alabama's streak of playing eight-straight primetime games on CBS against each other will come to an end in 2019, according to an early SEC schedule from the network.

The annual matchup between the Tigers and the Crimson Tide is set for Saturday, November 9 in Tuscaloosa but CBS does not have a doubleheader day and night game scheduled on that date.

CBS would get first pick at selecting LSU-Alabama for their day game on Nov. 9 or it could be a night game on another network.

The last time LSU played Alabama during the day was 2010 in Baton Rouge when the Tigers beat the Crimson Tide 24-21.

Well when you hype the shite out of a game, complete with billboards, and then lose 29-0, this is what happens.

JackieTreehorn•59 months

Not really a primetime game when the same team wins every single year.

barry•59 months

I want to downvote, but i can't.

southsidedell•59 months

You really dont know what a primetime game is do you? I thought you were joking at first...but you really dont lol

Jrv2damac•59 months

Good. Stop overhyping this shite

cctiger89•59 months

LSU may have not won in recent times but to say it's overhyped is a little overboard. Provide facts to your statement. It's still a highly recognized matchup.

BigPerm30•59 months

They’ve realized no body wants to watch the arse kicking in prime time.

TigerSpray•59 months

11 am with the chick announcer..... anything to change our luck.

El Campo Tiger•59 months

Good. This is no longer a rivalry.

Nix to Twillie•59 months

It is. (When's the last time Michigan beat Ohio State--is that not a rivalry anymore?) But I agree with it being moved to a day game. We haven't earned keeping it at night.

Ripley•59 months

Yeah but Ohio St vs Mich games are actually close.

El Campo Tiger•59 months

Nope. That’s not a rivalry game either.

Random LSU Hero•59 months

This is a great thing for LSU

CBandits82•59 months

100%

225Tyga•59 months

fine with me, more time i get to spend at the bar after the beat-down

Stingy•59 months

Let's hope the media and fans don't hype this game up like every other year. Until LSU wins a few of these games it should be treated as just another SEC game.

stho381•59 months

It's because it's in Tuscaloosa. No one cares about Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.

JackieTreehorn•59 months

It's because LSU hasn't won since the middle of Obama's first term in office.

Froman•59 months

For real. Nothing exciting about Saturday Night in Tuscaloosa.

CherryConstant•59 months

Because frick alabama. Noone gives a shite.

lsutigersFTW•59 months

As long as it’s at 7 pm next year, I don’t care

lil 7thward•59 months

Agreed

goodgrin•59 months

Thank God. Should have stopped this a while ago.

Barbellthor•59 months

Well when you become just another mark on their calendar, no one is interested and you don’t get prime time. Just win baby.

Tigersonfire•59 months

Well it hasn't been a rivalry in a while. And to be honest it hasn't been close in a while.

LSU316•59 months

Easily the best news if the day.

Ripley•59 months

Good

LSUShock•59 months

Looks like they want Tenn vs Florida for the 2:30 slot and UGA vs ND for the Primetime slot. Makes sense if that's why. The LSU vs Bama game is played out on a national level and ND brings a ton of eyeballs.

Old•59 months

At least ND does not openly support late term abortions.

PortHudsonPlaya•59 months

Good. I’m tired of watching our shite offense get shut out on prime time. Got to keep that staff together tho. :eyeroll:

Eriq Killmonger•59 months

That following season we also went on to beat Bama in Ttown giving us a 2 game win streak. Its happening this is a sign of the #tIncline

voodooidotwo•59 months

This will change when both teams are undefeated
