BamaGrad03 0 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 http://www.sportsline.com/cbssports/schedu...collegefootball That'd be good for Bama. Day game is better for a visiting team at JHS.

eibua12 81 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I think the game is actually at 2:30pm the time frame is listed 12:30 to 7pm, but what is 2hrs Nice to see UF/FSU gets better billing then the Iron Bowl How does FSU/Bama get picked over UF/AU from a CBS perspective? Holy Cow CBS is in love with BAMA Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/39413-iron-bowl-tentatively-set-for-1230/#findComment-395222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUesquire 1 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 You know, I'm glad to see the Iron Bowl mean something again and get some good national exposure. But 12:30?

WarTiger 4,092 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Everybody relax. BG is once again grasping at straws and trying to get a rise out of us. The game is scheduled to begin between 12:30 and 7:00 PM NOT at 12:30. Actual kickoff time won't be decided for MONTHS.

aubiescottie 1 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Everybody relax. BG is once again grasping at straws and trying to get a rise out of us. The game is scheduled to begin between 12:30 and 7:00 PM NOT at 12:30. Actual kickoff time won't be decided for MONTHS. I think BG is right...the 12:30-7 is the time they have slotted for football, not the possible start times. If you look at the other weeks, you'll see that they have CF today 3:00-3:30 and then whatever game 3:30-7. 4 items of note: 1. Wow does CBS love Bam I mean Saban 2. It IS tentative, and depends how things play out. 3. When Bama is 7-4 going into the Auburn game, and all the Sabamania has worn off, we are going to be the 12:30 game (Unless we are in the Nat'l champ hunt) 4. This is one reason I'm GLAD bama finally got a good coach. It will finally bring the game back to national prominence where it belongs. On the level of Mich-OSU.

PChamp119 96 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 4. This is one reason I'm GLAD bama finally got a good coach. It will finally bring the game back to national prominence where it belongs. On the level of Mich-OSU. Why is everyone saying this game is back to national prominence? Was it not before? If it wasn't, Coach Saban isn't making a difference. The game has been on CBS for a while now. You guys act like it wasn't on CBS before. The game isn't even on SI.com's top 20 games to watch. Saban coming to Alabama hasn't really changed the perspective of the game to the national prospective. People will still always think Michigan-OSU. The Iron Bowl is a more heated rivalry, but it will not be as well known until Auburn and Alabama are both consistent Top 10 teams. It's not that OSU and Michigan are doing something right and we all know they are overrated. But Michigan and OSU have larger fan bases and one (if not both) are usually in the NC hunt. When Auburn and Bama start doing that, it will gain larger national attention. Til then... nothing has (or will) change.

I won't read into it that much but as the Auburn fan you say you are (referring to the other thread) you should know Auburn shouldn't be included in that comment.

I never said it is back to national prominence, just said it will be. I fully expect Saban to return Alabama to nat'l championship contention, and I see no reason why we won't continue to be in the nat'l championship picture. And it takes more than just one team to make the game nationally prominent, it needs both teams to be top 10 teams. If not, which it hasn't been for the past 17 years, it won't be.

Yes, we are mentioned in the National Title hunt (are we this year? Road schedule seems to push us away). Yes, Bama must turn it around. But if Bama turns it around and Auburn starts to drop then the Iron Bowl would still not mean much to the entire nation. If Bama turns it around AND Auburn continues their ways, then it will have more national prominence. Personally, I hope Bama tanks even more and the game is never mentioned in the National Spotlight because it is like a Tennessee-Vandy type of rivalry. War Damn Eagle!

AUslug 1 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'm sorry but CBS needs to stop with their man love of Saban if they pick Bama/FSU over AU/UF. Not only was Auburn the only team to beat UF but it was one of the better games I saw all year, in person or on tv. If the Iron Bowl is at 12:30 then Jay Jacobs needs to go ape, this is the Iron Bowl not the freaking Iowa/Minnesota early ESPN snooze fest.

Ryan Sanders 123 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have to disagree. I could care less about Alabama vs Florida State. Most likely, that will be a game of an unranked versus a ranked. The Auburn vs Florida game potentially has National Title implications. I doubt FSU and UAT will. WAR EAGLE! BTW.. What does a neutral site have anything to do with it being BIG in the eyes of the country. I am sure the PAC 10 commissioner is interested in this game because of that and the amazing storylines.... ..

eibua12 81 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Funny we are pointing the finger at BAMA I see the trend here also including FSU. Apparently they think FSU will be all that and a bag of shoes next year. This will change week #1 so why publish the entire year and present times. Just put the games you expect to pick up with no times for everything past week 3. It would be nice if the second half of the double header is at 8pm. Yes CBS has done that before The only other games that would possible collide and I have seen the first 3 picked as games of the week. Florida at Florida St Alabama at Auburn Washington St at Washington Oregon at UCLA UGA at Tech Clemson at USC (cocks) Can someone post the full helmet schedule on the site somewhere? Yes I have it!

BamaGrad03 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 It's got nothing to do with Bobo honking. It's an interesting national matchup. Just like AU/FSU would be more interesting than UA/UF. Bobby Bowden has Alabama ties, and even interviewed for the UA job. It's an interesting game.
