AUHansel 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Last week I was looking at the ESPN schedule and it had the Auburn - Georgia game scheduled for CBS. There was no time on there but it said CBS. I looked at it again today and it no longer says CBS. I don't really understand how it works. I know that CBS has the big contract, but is there any chance that this game will be on ESPN? And can anyone explain to me which network gets their pick?

sportwareagle 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 CBS gets to pick first because they have the contract with the SEC. If they decide they want to show the AU-UGA game, which they will, then it will be on CBS. If they don't, which they won't, then it will be on ESPN. If ESPN doesn't want a game, then JP gets to pick. That's it! The game will definitely be on CBS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 So, Does that mean that this year's Iron Bowl will be on JP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLink02 8 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 AU/UGA is on CBS No ifs about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny AU-92 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I thought someone said somewhere (how accurate is that!) that once or twice a year, ESPN gets a first pick of a game over CBS. I remember reading that somewhere on this board - no idea who said it, but I didn't make it up. At least I don't think I did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydubb121 22 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Yeah, we heard that here. I think they said that ESPN got the first pick once. and they used for the asskicking we gave the Vols up in Knoxville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportwareagle 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I didn't know that. I would love for ESPN to use it for the AU/UGA game, but I just don't think it's going to happen. We shall soon see!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember that from somewhere, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
