Lsu gametime

[PearlRiverCoDawg]

Does anyone know if the LSU game time will be announced today? I'm assuming it will probably be a night game, but you never know.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

It’s going to be announced this morning. Expect a night game

 

[MSUDC11]

On paper it is by far the most interesting conference game of the weekend, but I have no doubt CBS will go with the massacre that will be Alabama vs. Tennessee instead. My guess is a night game on ESPN.

When was the last time we played at LSU when it wasn't night? I can't remember. We always seem to play them at night especially in BR.

 

[missouridawg]

From my fuzzy memory... I can recall every game from 2012 forward being a night game. The 2009 home game was definitely a day game. But 2010 and 2011 for some reason I can’t recall those games.

I was at the 2006 game and it was definitely a blistering hot day game. This might be the one.

There was a game in the Croom Era that Marcus Spears scored more points than our offense. I don't remember one since then.

I think that game was over about 1/3 through the first quarter

This. surely it will be the 2:30 CBS game. But i could see CBS doing a hold out until the result of the auburn tennessee game

2010 was the night game that we wore black jerseys in Death Valley and 2011 was a Thursday night game I believe

I wouldn’t expect it to be the CBS game. For MSU, we basically have to be ranked in the Top 10 and playing another Top 10 team for CBS to pick us up. They hate putting MSU on....some study or something they’ve looked at shows that we don’t pull in the viewers like other programs. And those same studies show they can put Alabama on against any bottom feeder team and still get more viewers than just about any other matchup of any other two SEC teams.

This is the correct answer, and why you always see Bama/AU/LSU/Georgia/Florida/UT/A&M and rarely see MSU/OM/Ark/Vandy/SC/Mizz/KY, even if teams in the latter group are better than teams in the foreign group/

It's all about those Birmingham, Atlanta, New Orleans, Florida, and Houston TV markets.

I doubt it's the 2:30 game

For the simple reason CBS will not want to have LSU three games in a row in their 2:30 slot

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Weren’t we on CBS against auburn last year?

 

[vhdawg]

Since 2000, the 2002/2004/2006 games were all 11:30 AM JP kickoffs, and everything else has been a night game.

CBS is going to take Tennessee/Alabama. They've had Tennessee/Alabama on CBS the past three seasons, and thus far this season Alabama has only been on CBS once. CBS is not going to waste any of their five potential Alabama appearances, so it wouldn't surprise me at all for CBS to take all four of Alabama's remaining conference games (including ours).

 

[MSUDC11]

No, that was a 5 pm ESPN kickoff. Our only CBS game last year was the Arkansas game, but that was an 11 a.m. kickoff. We haven’t played in the 2:30 CBS slot since the 2015 Alabama game.

Exactly. They'd take all 8 Bama SEC games, and then take UGA on Bama's non-conference and off weeks

if they could. ​

 

[WutheringDawg]

I know for a fact the 2009 30-26 Chad Jones 93 yard punt return, goal line stand loss was an early game. I was there to watch it.

If I had to wager guesses on the remaining CBS picks:

10/20 - Alabama at Tennessee
10/27 - Florida/Georgia (already selected)
11/03 2:30 - Texas A&M/Auburn
11/03 7:00 - Alabama at LSU
11/10 11:00 - Mississippi State at Alabama
11/10 2:30 - Auburn at Georgia
11/17 - MSU/Arkansas (I guess? The other choices are Mizzou/UT and Ole Miss/Vandy, which seem equally bad)
11/23 - Arkansas/Mizzou (already selected)
11/24 - Auburn at Alabama

 

[rem101]

Kickoff at 6 on ESPN.

 

[vhdawg]

Weren’t we on CBS against auburn last year?

No, we were on CBS at Arkansas on the morning half of a morning/afternoon doubleheader.

 

[vhdawg]

Worth noting, the Florida/Georgia game is already picked for the last Saturday of October, so going into November, CBS still hasn't exercised either of their six-day selections.

 

[patdog]

Those look like good guesses to me. I think they take UGA-UK on Nov. 3 though, but could go either way.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

We are going to have to boycott CBS just like do OUTBACK!
