To the posters complaining about CBS and day games:

1. The CBS deal is the best on the planet imo. SEC games are televised nationally. The ABC games are regional

2. I like night games as much as the next guy, but you can't expect CBS to put a ton of games on at night if that isn't good for their ratings. The have the one night game a year and LSU usually contends for that slot.

3. Although we are probably better at night games, the stats are ridiculously misleading. We usually play Appalacian State and McNeese and night and Florida/Bama/Auburn during the day. Shocker that we have a better record in night games.

At least MSU has to play at AU before the Thursday night game vs LSU. Thursday night games, wooooooo. Not really, hope that never happens @ LSU.

Why does everyone keep saying this??

The top 2 games next year are LSU/Bama and Bama/Arkansas


Because CBS already selected it's two DH days. October 1st and November 12th.

And to make things even better they added a 90$ a game fee for tailgating.

I can't speak for everybody else but imo things you enjoy in life works towards improving and getting better, in this case its getting worse and starting to ficking suck.

Lot of golf and back yard tailgates for me this year on Saturdays. I can see it already.

NONE. ABC cannot televise any SEC home game. ESPN, EPSN2,etc can. Lets hope the "Joker" can cause some
panic in the east, if so one of the family of espn networks will show the game.

Auburn v. South Carolina for the double header? Unless Auburn gets Russel Wilson to come in and make them decent they will be lucky to go .500

While I hope and pray you are wrong, you are probably right.

Keep in mind that it may be very difficult for CBS to pass on a game featuring a hopefully undefeated LSU (and if they are undefeated, they should be ranked No. 1 given their schedule up to that point) team at home versus a 4-1 UK team. I don't run CBS, but if I did, I would want the No. 1 team in the country on my netwrok as opposed to a 2-2 Auburn team v.s. South Carolina.
