texasautiger 0 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Fine by me. Definitely better than playing in front of 100K+ at night. Plus the Krispy-Kreme sugar rush should wear off around the 2nd quarter, so the crowd will basically be asleep by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburntiger1987 759 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Gary and Verne love some Johnny. I have a feeling they expect Tenn to lose to Mizzou making them look even worse than an appetizing match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTsaysWDE 3 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Gotta be for the additional ratings. I would expect that they have a statistician back home who can predict pretty well what their audience numbers would look like for any given broadcast schedule. They would be fools to do anything but maximize their audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGradinTX 0 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Johnny is a train wreck who just happens to be one of the best players in CFB. He does something amazing and then gets a 15 yard personal foul for cussing out the opponents mascot... Who doesn't want to see that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks would rather see Johnny Manziel light it up than Tennessee getting buried. Man I hope it's a Big O burial. After their Cock beating, I thought they would were on a parallel path to AU. But they just laid down for The Turd and did not even show for the game. UT in Knoxville concerns me, even at 11:00, which I think helps us for an away game.

WarEagle123 28 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 This is a good thing for us. Crowds just are not the same at 11 am as they are for night games or even the 2:30 cbs game. For us playing on the road that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us playing on the road that helps. UT is in the Eastern Time zone, so this is a noon game for us Knoxvillians, not that an hour means much in the whole scheme of things.

Nay4AU 2 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I hate that it's @ 11 for my own selfish reasons. I was thinking about going but not sure now that it's an 11 am kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,039 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Guys Chillax. Your anger and disappointment is misdirected. CBS gets 1 night game a year and in that week they also get a 2:30 game the same day. CBS gets the first choice for the night game. In this case it was Bama/LSU. Contrary to popular belief as seen by the posts in this thread, per the media rights SEC contract CBS does not have the #2 pick of games in weeks when they have a doubleheader. ESPN has the #2 pick always and with that pick they chose AU/UTk and put it at 11. Think back to 2 weeks ago when CBS had a doubleheader.if CBS had the #2 pick they would have picked a better game on paper than UGA/Vandy. ESPN had the #2 and they chose the SCar/UTk game and put it at 11 also. ESPN has contracts to show games from either the Big Ten and/or ACC at 2:30 so showing the Auburn/UTk game at 2:30 was not even an option for them. 11 was the only spot ESPN could put that game.
