Friday start time with TV slot interesting take

In the case of weather in a perfect world both coaches agree to move a start time to the best of their judgement.
The game is scheduled for 7pm on ESPN2. I don’t think LSU nor Arkansas have the authority to move the game prior to the scheduled first pitch because of tv contracts. If the game is affected by rain they’ll be fine Saturday to shift as needed with the game on SECN.
It’s not so much the issue of both teams not wanting to fit the game in that day it’s more so that ESPN2 will not work others schedules.
I do not remember ever seeing a nationally televised game rework their schedule ahead of time…we may be sitting on our hands so to speak that first night.

If only ESPN had a cache of other games already being produced for broadcast that would be going on in that window that could replace the game and allow the programs to make the best decisions for themselves without issue.
If only...

everyone seriously needs to quit freaking out about this. yeah it might rain on friday but no one knows the timing yet and/or if it will affect the game being played. LIKE you said we’ll be sitting on our hands til first pitch and there’s really nothing we can do about it. maybe we get lucky and the game can be played as scheduled

Begging for a weather thread sticky. Sad.

ESPN has to have alternate plans in case we get rained out at 7:00 PM, so they should just let LSU and Arkansas do what’s best to ensure the game is played.
ESPN could always record the game if it’s played at say, 3:00 PM, and just show it on tape delay at the 7:00 PM slot. Old school.

The game is scheduled to be on ESPN2. ESPN is carrying the women's basketball tournament.

ESPN is an entity broadcasting the games. The specific channel they're choosing to use doesn't matter. You're attempting to correct something that doesn't need to be corrected.
Internet pedantry is a low existence.

Relax bud. If this thread is stickied, I promise you people will see "The game is scheduled for 7pm on ESPN" and think it means that specific channel.

You say this like we don't have "WHAT CHANNEL IS THE GAME ON???" threads every gameday.

It's my fault. Driving in for my first game at The Box this season. Thanks Mother Nature.

ESPN2 actually

And I edited the OP to reflect ESPN2 because everyone’s reading it as the specific channel rather than entity

Baseball is always tricky to televise
Espn is not worried about weather
If it rains out, they will throw on some repeat 30/30 special and get better ratings than the game itself

They've done it with football games over the years. One would think baseball would be a lot easier.

You mean ESPN can't show the game anywhere but ESPN2 and/or at its allotted time slot? If that's true, they're idiotic. If the teams choose to move the game to 2 pm and ESPN pushes it to ESPN+, they gain subscriptions. If they just force the teams to play at their allotted time or delay to the next day, they gain nothing.

I agree. Way easier with Baseball. So many other games this season. It's not a Regional/Super/CWS. Just a strong initial matchup.
Way more money in Football, and way fewer games and ways/chanves to make up moving a game.

Everything I've read they can rotate between any of ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU seamlessly at that 7pm timeslot. I do not know who makes the call between ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU and SECN/SECN+.
