Id rather listen to the games on the radio than have to watch them on CBS. They destroy the momentum of the game. They take the crowd out of it, which is a BIG DEAL in TS.
I was at the Arky game, it seemed like the frickin red shirt official was on the field for longer than the players


Exposure man, die hard LSU fans aren't the only ones watching LSU games on national TV

This bs about TS not being loud during the day- GA 03 was loud as ever. If the game is tight, fans are in it. Stop whining about NATIONAL coverage and enjoy the great run

Who really cares about NATIONAL coverage???

I don't.

1) Its just networks trying to get paid. (which I dont have a problem with, they are a business, and I'm not a communist)

2) Does it really matter what the rest of the country thinks, if we win all of our games on tv or off screen? Im pretty sure either way you are going to the BCSNCG. As far as I know, winning on TV isnt a factor that is calculated in...

3) No matter how much we play on CBS, ESPN is tied to ABC. So, we still arent gaining anything from playing all our games during the day on CBS. ESPN isn't going to have to give us more love because me played on national tv. (not trying to feed into any ESPN hates LSU crap, but fact is ESPN is the most watched sports network, and reread the beginning of no. 3)

4) Besides that, how many fans out side of the Southeast are really tuning in to watch the SEC's games? And those that are, I could really care less about.

Screw national coverage, I'll take a night game in TS that I have to listen to Hawthorne for, anyday over a 2:30 CBS game.
