I thought when we agreed to move this year to a primetime game that Alleva got CBS to guarantee us a primetime slot in 2012 for our home game?

Has this fallen through, or is it just an overnight on LSUSports.com's website?

Most are 7 PM or TBA until the official TV announcement is made. It will be a night game.

It could be played at 7 AM. Both teams are going to be crunk and ready to knock some heads.

they waited until two weeks before the Bama-UF game to confirm that it indeed was at 7 PM on CBS even though we had known that for months. it'll be the same thing for the Bama game next season.

Alabama and LSU didn't agree to anything and had/have no say in the matter. SEC schools play at whatever time the networks (CBS and ESPN) want. It's not like CBS asked permission.

Okay, you aren't listening to anyone... YES, Alabama @ LSU on Nov. 3, 2012 will be at night. However, they don't usually make things like that official on the schedule until the TV schedules are finalized which won't happen until the off-season.

LSU @ Arkansas will also be at 1:30/2:30 (depending on if it's Friday or Saturday this year) but it's also TBA.

ETA: In fact most TV schedules aren't finalized until two weeks prior to kickoff, except in special circumstances (ie. LSU vs. Arkansas)

I think they have to get agreement from bama's new coach at that time.
