Florida game time 7pm ET

[UTFranklinVol]

Has anyone seen the game time for UF yet? Looking at the TV schedule they have OK v TX in the afternoon. Since Ole Miss lost this week I assume they would put our game at night rather than compete with the red River game.

It's kind of exciting to think about a UT/UF game being at night and not in the afternoon and being the first SEC home night game of the year!

Should find out by 1:00 pm est today.

Just fyi…I looked at the long range weather forecast…at 8pm it’s supposed to be 51degrees In Knoxville.
i mention that because of checkering neyland. How many people own orange or white coats, jackets, sweaters, etc.

Tennessee has been the prime time game twice. How likely is a third time this early in the season?

there are 3 choices for primetime now - sec n - espn - abc -- this isnt an issue anymore

I wouldn't mind a 3:30 game to be honest, but I won't mind a 7:00 PM for this one either.

These 7:45 kickoffs are annoying though.

How many Tennessee fans don’t own an orange jacket, sweater or sweatshirt? But there y be some (like me) who don’t own a white one…an orange out wold be cool…kicking Florida’s ass will be real cool regardless of what we wear

There are 2 slots for night games now, ESPN and ABC, well technically 3 if you count SEC network but they won't be putting our game there.

it's all part of a $$ plan. I don't blame them. gets folks to buy new merch. I'm surprised they don't change the seating color assignments every game.

True, BUT ABC is the true prime time slot for SEC

Pretty good since Arkansas is 730 ABC this weekend. That's 3 primetime National TV games......certainly doesn't hurt recruiting (especially if we go 3-0).

 

[NATHAN05]

I actually think there is a good chance ABC picks up the Vols and Gators only because they (the media fat cats ) know we seem to always struggle with Florida. They know people will tune in if it's a close game in the 4th.......high ratings, etc, etc.

This will have zero bearing.

 

[NATHAN05]

This will have zero bearing.

........just so I'm clear......ratings and potential viewers DO NOT dictate why outlets cherry pick games?......granted I don't work in the tv industry so maybe I do have it all wrong.

…hmmm.

No, they do. Your assumption that media fat cats think people will watch because Tennessee usually struggles with Florida has zero bearing.

I cannot remember a season with so many night games. Nice to be a prime-time draw. There’s also the fact that in prior years some of these would have been 3:30 CBS games.
