I am a season Ticket Holder and I had no idea the game is Sat until someone posted it. Why is the game not the day after Thanksgiving.

CBS picked up the Iron Bowl for Friday.

Yeap. You can't blame them either. I am sorry, but right now the Alabama/Auburn game is a way better game than LSU/Hogs on a national scale.

they'd prefer to show elite programs in that time slot.

So screw our tradition. Can we start playing in Fayettville now.

The next chapter of Les's time mismanagement could prove more intriguing than this year's Iron Bowl. For some.

ANYTHING is better than that excuse for a stadium they have in Little Rock. It's about as nice as Olympia Stadium here in Baton Rouge where the High School's play. I am exaggerating a little, but I can't believe they play college games there. Especially SEC games.

I never called our Friday 1:30PM game tradition; I called it an inconvenience. I'm happy about the Saturday night start.

Not a chance, that shite sucks.

And it isn't really "tradition" if its only been going on for about 7 or 8 years now...not like we've been playing Arky on the Friday after thanksgiving since 1952

Boy I'm sure not going to miss it. I'm so glad we have one less CBS game. The game will be at 6:00 on ESPN, and they do a much better job. And the Friday CBS game was always a 2nd tier crew anyway (Craig Bolerjack and some other hack, I think). I just hate any CBS games (especially any with Vern Lundquist).

I thought it was pretty good for recruiting at first when it was the only game on. It was a huge recruiting tool, but hey, every little bit helps.

Oh, for some reason I thought UF/FSU was always on ABC.

I think it was too, not this year for some reason. Oh, I think Texas and Texas A&M play on ABC now.

LSU should be playing on friday, but as previously posted, the iron bowl as an elite program playing that is respected nationally, i dont blame them for moving the LSU game
