Curious why the APSU gametime isn't set when every other SEC game is for that weekend.

Is ESPN waiting to see the results if the UVa game or what?

FCS game is generally SEC Network or (if overflow is needed) either SEC Network Alternate channel or ESPNU (depending on the level of overflow needed).

The alt channel hasn't been used for a couple years now

2001 was a 3:30pm game, yes.

Tennessee at Florida was a night game at Gainesville the following years:

1991 (35-18 Florida)
1999 (23-21 Florida)
2005 (16-7 Florida)
2021 (38-14 Florida)

(Note: I presume 1985 was a day game but for some reason I’m having trouble finding any sort of start time noted anywhere online.)

1985 game was a day game we lost 17-10 we also lost in 1984 in Knoxville to them 43-30 in a day game. We have not done well against Florida in the last 50 years that’s for sure in Knoxville or Gainesville.

Thank you. I appreciate the time of day information for the 1985 game.

I don't think our roster is nearly as conscious of our record of futility down there as we are. They should be ready.
Elite players don't usually think that way.

Exactly. Our fans make WAY too big of a deal out of it. Florida beat Tennessee a lot in the past because they were better. Frankly, we just sucked. Tennessee will win next year because Tennessee is better and Florida sucks. It's really that simple.

They do. Though it’s worth noting that this year they’re also balancing selections between games from both the SEC and the Big 10 in sort of a transition to only having the latter next year.

I’m curious to see how this is going to work. As much as I hate to say it, it seems that if the B1G can get some of these final details worked out, they’ve done a great job of diversifying their broadcasts on FOX, CBS and NBC. The only thing I don’t like is the Big Noon kickoff . I think it really takes away from the atmosphere when put Penn State vs Ohio State that early or Wisconsin vs Michigan that early. Those should be prime time games.

I wish we could swap the UVA and UF game times. Oh well, I'm just glad it's close enough to the season we're getting some info.

The "noon" kickoff would be a lot more palatable if there were good games to go watch after beating UVA's ass, but this is the worst week one schedule I've ever seen.

Yep a bit disappointing slate of games for this labor day weekend. There are a few decent ones here and there.

Likely SEC Network, SEC Network Alternate Channel, or ESPN U, depending on the number of games by conference members and the game slate that weekend.

Could be.. I'm just going by the precedent of Akron game being streamed last year.... But what you point out is certainly possible..

Sure. But there’s also several times where UT was equal or just a flat out better team and still loss to UF. It was ingrained in our culture. Luckily I don’t think it is anymore. Still have to go prove it obviously by taking care of business this year. Florida has no talent at QB unless a miracle happens for them. It should be a rather easy win on paper. We will see.

It wasn’t used at all last year? Wasn’t it generally only used when there are too many games involving conference teams at the same time? That only ever happens in like the first 2-3 weeks of the college football season, if it’s even needed to be used.

There really weren’t many in which they weren’t just better. We just convinced ourselves that we were as good, in part, because Florida wasn’t really great. Sucks to admit that you’re inferior to a mediocre program, but we were. Now we’re not.

You could argue 2013 and 2015 because of how the teams finished. But Butch Jones threw Peterman out in his first start in the Swamp in 13 and he was totally lost, so no, we weren’t better that day. We had a QB who didn’t have a clue and no support. In 15, they had Will Grier before he was dismissed 2 weeks later. With Grier, they were better than UT. Without him, they probably weren’t.

I really don’t see any other years they beat us when they weren’t just better, unless you go back to about 2002. Maybe further.

Whether we like to admit it or not, Florida has owned Tennessee this century because they were just better. It’s not some curse or psychological hangup. They were better…a fact made worse by the fact that they weren’t even great themselves for many of those years.

I would love to see MTSU lay a surprise on Drinkwitz. They always seem poised to catch a team off-guard.

2015 UT was flat out better. It just took epic choke job to lose that game. 4th and 14 for goodness sake lol. 2013 would have been a dub if Worley started imo. 2014 should have been a W As well. 2013-2017 would of been a 5 game win streak with a competent coach imo. I know we were dreadful in 2017 but UF was begging to lose that game all day long.
