It has nothing to do with us being a national power or what the people want to see...

CBS simply cannot move up the primetime game. The doubleheader is always late in the season because of contract agreements.

I feel like we have this conversation on the rant every single offseason and LSU fans want to act like little sisters of the poor...

Also espn/and never had any agreements made to show the lsu/ua game in the future. So that's a blatant lie.

Wanna bet that CBS could have chosen ANY week they wanted to be primetime?

quote:
CBS has the rights to 12-15 regular season games and the conference championship. Up to two of those games can be non-conference games. CBS will always have the top choice of SEC games on a weekly basis.When CBS does a doubleheader that includes a primetime game, CBS can choose the top two games on a given weekend. When they do a doubleheader that includes a 12pm game, it must allow ESPN to reserve two games before selecting their next game.

Where are you getting this? For years, the prime time game was UF-Tenn, then it was LSU-UF in 2008 and 2009. It was Bama-UF in 2010. All of those games were in early October or late September.
