I thought CBS can only has 1 prime time per season???


Why on earth would CBS constrict themselves like that?? I'd figure that ratings is their bottom-line and that if they thought they had premium games that would have more viewers at night, they'd have multiple night games!!

I guess you mean in TS, cause the last time we played UGA in the afternoon was in 04 in Athens and they kicked the ever loving shite out of us.

I'm not a TV executive, but the contract with the SEC limits them to the one game.

That and ESPN and ABC already have night games and adding one more to the mix probably wouldn't be profitable in the eyes of the TV execs.

I believe the CBS schedule is going to be pretty accurate. The Times Picayune ran a lil blurb about citng the schedule and that the Fla game is the primetime game and SC, Georgia, Ark, and I think Ole Miss being the other ( I could be mistaken with Ole Miss). Also the MSU and Alabama games could be picked up. It really sucks, but then again we could have no exposure at all, just sucks that they are screwing with the tradition of Saturday nights.

not to be snippy, but is this a FACT or is this one of those statements that the Rant is, unfortunately, full of... that looks like a fact but is actually an opinion or merely a hope someone has???
