The national audience ratings would have been off the charts (if we beat Auburn) had this been a night game. But, playing in the afternoon I think helps LSU!

Potentially the Number 1 and Number 2 teams are playing and you are going to put that at 2:30? Who's in charge of that?

This is the Network and game time I wanted.

And I hope the Boosters flex their muscle on this.

To fight TV $$$ ??? Bwahahaa... you funny little person you.

As a hard core LSU fan, I will not be attending, nor watching or supporting day games any longer. This is the straw that broke the camels back. Whomever is responsible for this should be terminated immediately.

El Campo Tiger•60 months

You are hereby stripped of your “hard core LSU fan” title.

notslim99•60 months

You’re gonna watch. Don’t even play.

Tigahs24Seven•60 months

I am sick of the day games this year to the point of nausea....but i will take a win here in return for my angst.

GoldenGuy•60 months

That’s one way to neutralize the LED light show.

beantown•60 months

Get ready for several uncalled late hits on Joe...

alumni95•60 months

Or more like called BS late hits against whoever suits up in crimson. See the UT game last week.

Get ready for bogus targeting calls against LSU in the 2nd half of the Auburn game...

Biggest game of the year held in the afternoon and not prime time?? wtf

CBS contract gives them first choice of SEC games to air in their 2:30 slot. Contract was changed in 2011 to allow CBS to pick 1 game per season for prime time. They had been using it on LSU-Bama but decided to use it on Notre Dame-Georgia earlier this year. Brass at CBS probably didn't expect LSU to be as good as they are and Bama had dominated the series lately.

Rabbs and QStick•60 months

Tiger Prawn, you are actually not correct. CBS had been doing one night game for years prior to 2011, that year they had an exception to do a 2nd. They had already did Alabama at Florida earlier that year, which is why they needed the permission.

Good. The sooner we leave Fried Pickle Town, the better.

Tua's ankle was on schedule to be healed by 6pm....

Tridentds•60 months

A loss without Tua assures BAMA a spot in the playoffs.

CanebreakCajun•60 months

does not matter when, the streak is over. LSU 37 Alabama 24

texastigerr•60 months

Tua needs more time to recover. Burrow will probably get sacked once in the Auburn game and they will throw a flag on Burrow for targeting the defensive lineman so that Burrow has to sit out the first half of the Bama game.

notslim99•60 months

You say this in jest, but I’ve been seriously wondering who from LSU will get a bogus targeting call and ejection in the second half of the Auburn game. Lol

Auburn game matters more

Lebowski•60 months

The Auburn game matters much more.

Three 2:30 games in a row.

goodgrin•60 months

Damn! Gary Danielson 3 games in a row???

CBS is not able to move this game to 7pm unless ESPN agrees (and CBS pays ESPN for the priviledge). Guess the price was too high. Could still change after we beat Auburn, is my guess.
