It's become apparent to me that LSU has absolutley zero say so or influence on when these games get played.

Back in 2007 CBS had a rule in placed that they wouldn't show the same team three weeks in a row. I guess that rule is gone.

They like the fact that we're #1 and the prospects for committing to that type of program more than they care about the crowd lacking Saturday. Our footprint is growing and that's a good thing. I love night games, but this is what happens when you're top ranked.


what time was the Va Tech game in 07? how about the Florida game that year? or the Auburn game?

You would be correct, but that should have become apparent to you a long time ago.

Once UT lost to UGA AND lost their starting QB, that probably sealed the deal for LSU/AU at 2:30. I, like most, didn't think CBS would put LSU on 3 times in a row. There weren't many options outside of 2 games. LSU/AU is clearly the best game that day.

Call it a tough "break" for Bray and LSU's chances for a SEC home night game.

Florida v Georgia is sammiched in between, so technically just three weeks in a row.

Well a new contract was put into place in 2009, I believe. Either then or 2008. So if there was a rule saying that, I'm sure it was removed in the new contract.

Maybe the next one(I think this one expires in 2018), will change things up a bit.

I know that.. just saying if there is another big game on that week, ie... Bama/tenn, IMO is as big as LSU/Au.

LSU must not have anyone that can negotiate with whomever makes this pick for CBS.

Isn't the Kige U game homecoming? What time would the parades have to be for an 11;30 game? That just doesn't make sense.

VTech was OOC. Florida game was primetime CBS, but CBS still had first pick. We'll likely get that spot next year for Bama.
