The Ark game was 4 hours long BEFORE OT STARTED!!! CBS makes a mockery of the game, it tires out the teams and alters the outcome. THe SEC or the NCAA needs to realize they control the product and have the balls to put controls on CBS.

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.

My first game in TS as a student, I had had a little much to drink and during a commercial break, I leaned over to my date and said, "who's the a-hole in the red hat?"

EXACTLY! The same people who complain about CBS televised games also complain about the national media not giving us enough attention...imagine what our perception would be if we werent ever on national tv!

Who gives a shite, Really?
CBS, FoX, ABC, ESPN, NBC, PBS, Cartoon Network, the Porn Channel as long as its on Television I really don't give a shite. Its better than Watching the damn game in front of a computer screen.

As it should be.
All you people whining about TV need to get a grip. Your team just won the national title. TV is the price of success.
My first year at LSU we went 2-9. That season was awful. People bitched about the few day games on TV that year too.
Boo hoo. Bitch, bitch, bitch.

People just love to hear Vern frick up people names and cant get enough of him talking about "the motor" Pollack from Georgia and how Les gave a speech five years ago about how happy he is to be at LSU....

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
Every top team deals with TV timeouts at home and on the road so it really doesnt hurt us in the long run when you consider it's even for everyone.
Yea, and what a novel idea, let's not televise any LSU home games. That'll be sure to drive in the recruits.

I'm not excited about all the CBS games, but not b/c I have a problem w/ CBS. I'd just much rather have those Bama and Georgia games on ESPN @ 6:45.
Posted on 8/21/08 at 8:10 am to 4EVERLSU1987
Yeah, those guys that show half our games on national t.v. and just agreed to an unprecedented 15 year extension to show our conference's games and give it billions of dollars are real bastards. frick, I wish a lot of LSU fans would just fricking die.

I'm officially too lazy to respond "originally", so this is a re-post of my comments on the same topic yesterday
guys, consider laying off over-the-top CBS criticism!! Look, I know Verne and Gary have their flaws, really, I do, and I know the commercials are many and looooong.. but look at the alternative....
.... primetime games announced by Brent Musberger. He is simply the worst announcer since Biblical times. I'd honestly rather listen to my annoying Aggie cube-mate sing something like Rocky Top for four hours!
Also, give CBS some love... they sure love LSU and the SEC. It is a FACT that the only nationwide 'broadcast television' college game, week-in and week-out, occurs on CBS. Well over half of ABC's telecasts, both night and day, are regional.
By the way, I hope SEC coaches tell the recruits this... if you want to be on TV in front of the whole country, come to the SEC! And if you want to be seen the most, come to LSU!
So, after SEVEN NATIONWIDE TV appearances for LSU on CBS in 2007, be glad that they love us!!
And be thankful that they finally experienced a night game in Tiger Stadium and they loved it.
