CBS has decided to use a 6 day window for the following games to choose from A&M-State, GA-OM, FLA-MIZZOU. REALLY?? IS IT NOT OBVIOUS WHICH GAME TO CHOOSE?? Let's look at the scenarios for this weekend's games, excluding the FLA-MIZZOU game because i have to believe CBS doesn't want to put mizzou back on tv again(and i will go ahead and throw out the outcome of our game bc i really don't think it will matter whether we are 7-1 or 8-0) heading into next week):

A&M wins, GA wins, OM wins- you have a 6-2 team vs a 7-1 divisional SEC West matchup. It's obvious CBS.

A&M loses, GA loses, OM loses- even then, does anyone want to watch an underachieving GA team play a 4-4 OM squad?

A&M wins, GA or OM loses- should be a done deal, and we get the 2:30 slot.

Bottom line, we need to pull for A&M not to get upset on the plains this weekend.

I may be making too big of deal about this, but this is clearly our biggest home game remaining, I want this best atmosphere for our team and recruits. Oh yeah, and a 11 o clock kickoff the morning after Bulldog Bash would be brutal.

The last time we were on CBS, Arkansas absolutely abused us. I'm sure CBS wants more proof that we are for real before they go national with us.


As far as potential viewers:

Florida has 18 million residents, Missouri 6 million = 24 million

Texas has 25 million residents, Mississippi 3 million = 28 million
