Terrific ....more Gary.

 

[Hulavol]

This is damn good news !! Recruits think highly of the teams on at 3:30….. our March to Atlanta will be marquee TV !

 

[stolitonic]

Ugh.

CBS has made sure we get out full Danielson allocation this year

 

[fear]

wow can't believe they didn't give it to uga and ole miss

 

[OrangeVolMan]

How is CBS passing up Ole Miss/UGA? Is next week the week ESPN gets first pick.

 

[zjcvols]

God please, I’ve asked for forgiveness enough for my teenage years, please stop punishing me

Much better than night game at Missouri. Vols will be ready.

 

[VFLCodyGBO]

Pretty disappointed UGA isn’t a night game, but can’t say I’m surprised….

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I'm shocked we are 2:30 vs Missouri.

 

[sami]

Much better than night game at Missouri.

Exactly. I don't like night games, but I hate road night games.

I don’t speak that. EST or Gtfo, foreigner

 

[GordonC]

There's a winder to win the East, we got a view, we don't have to play a road night game in the SEC, and we got people who gon bish about Danielson again

We back, folks

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Gary loves the Vols!

 

[UTK]

Missouri isn’t an environment to be scared of either way lol

 

[GordonC]

Gary loves the Vols!

You get to this time of year, and afternoon games are the best.

I think this is great news all around. Weather looks like it's going to be really nice in Mizzou when we visit them: high of 59, mostly sunny, light breeze.

Go Vols!

How many times has UGA been on CBS this yr? I just found the following so maybe this has something.m to do with it:

As part of an extension to CBS's contract with the SEC through the 2023–24 season, CBS no longer has exclusivity during its afternoon window, but still has the first choice of games. CBS was limited to airing five games featuring a particular team per season, and was allowed to air one game in primetime per season.

This is great news. UGA was gonna be 3:30 regardless. Definitely didn't want a night game in Columbia.

CBS can only take a team 4 or 5 times during the year.
They've known all along they want UGA at UT on the 18th...really the only game that week and it still has SECE implications.

So it left CBS flipping the coin between UGA/Ole Piss or UGA/Vols.

Ratings will be through the roof if Ole Miss happens to beat UGA because the winner of UGA/UT goes to SECCG with no debate, questions, or tie breakers.

Kill me. We better win next week to make listening to Gary a bit more tolerable.

Georgia has already been on CBS five times this season.

Means we will stay motivated to play throughout the game. If ga loses we still have a chance. I'd be worried if ga plays at 12 and we play after. Then our motivation is gone if ga wins. Ga plays after us.

Not so fast, we have to beat Missouri

Maybe since ESPN Gameday is there they didn’t want to play second fiddle. Or ESPN & CBS could’ve had a handshake deal in place since Herbstreit would already be in Athens, so he & Fowler could call the game.
