Vanderbilt gametime guess

[fryeguy93]

Here are the Saturday games in the SEC on Thanksgiving weekend.


South Carolina at Clemson
Georgia Tech at Georgia
Tennessee at Vanderbilt
LSU and Texas A&M
Auburn at Alabama
Louisville at Kentucky


Looking at that list. I can't figure out whether the Vols will play at noon or at night.
I know they can't get the 3:30 slot as even the bad Auburn/Alabama is the highest profile game that CBS will choose
The SoCar/Clemson game is part of the ACC contract so it can be played anytime. As such, ESPN could schedule that game opposite the Alabama game

The best schedule I can see

Noon GaTech/Georgia - ESPN/ESPN2
Tennessee/Vanderbilt - SEC
3:30 Auburn/Alabama CBS
South Carolina/ Clemson ESPN/ESPN2/ABC
Night LSU/Texas A&M ESPN/ESPN2/SEC
Louisville/Kentucky ESPN/ESPN2/SEC

We know Michigan/Ohio State will be Fox Noon game
That aTM game is interesting as it may be stuck on SECNetwork due to lack of other options.

The 3 games on Thursday/Friday leave inventory to fill. SEC Network may be forced to fill slots with basketball

The Friday games Ark/Mizzou and Florida/FSU (primetime ABC) will be unwatchable.

Tennessee Vandy has been a 3 - 4pm game for the last five years.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Noon this time............who knows?

 

[vols 30]

I'm going with the family. Please be noon

 

[UTK]

4PM ET SEC network imo

 

[Jeff Clark]

12:00 noon hopefully on SEC Network

 

[vols 30]

12:00 noon hopefully on SEC Network

That would be perfect. Watch the game and then take my kids to Kid Rock's

 

[615vols]

I’ll be there, hoping for the early game.

 

[txbo]

Vanderbilt sucks. The whole world hates them. Nobody wants to watch them….even the players parents don’t watch.

12:00 game.

 

[wmcovol]

That would be perfect. Watch the game and then take my kids to Kid Rock's

Can I come along?

A$$ whooping:30

Tennessee Vandy has been a 3 - 4pm game for the last five years.

I went to a night game in Nashville a few years back when Dobbs, Malone, Kamara & Sutton were here…

ACC Network hosts 12/3:30/8 games and ESPN 12/ESPN2 7:30. I don't know how they allocate but I would imagine host team gives with host network first choice, so as far as ACC/SEC rivalry games go: I would look for SEC to have dibs on GA/GA Tech and Louisville/KY and the ACC to have first dibs on SCAR/Clemson

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

4PM Eastern time so announcers can hit the streets of Broadway by 8 PM Central.

I could see Georgia-Georgia Tech on ESPN at Noon while the SEC Network carries Tennessee-Vandy at Noon.

Preds play that night so afternoon would be better

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Checker Dudley!

 

[Jeff Clark]

Checker Dudley!

Tear down the goalposts

 

[fryeguy93]

I don’t think there’s enough games for the SEC Network to host any more than 1 game and I don’t see that being put up against CBS game. The Thursday Friday games leave a lot of space that will likely be filled by

 

[joevol33]

Vandy may forfeit by Friday

 

[rocytop2624]

730

Yeah, between Tennessee - Vandy and Kentucky - Louisville, I bet one is at 12 and the other is at 4 on SEC Network.

Tennessee is still a better draw even though the KY game is more competitive.

 

[fryeguy93]

I did some research.
the SEC Network is already scheduled to show Missouri basketball game at noon vs Houston Christian.
so there goes 1 of the early slots
I don’t see any women’s game that day on anything but streaming.

That should be cool I think Louisville wins

 

[fryeguy93]

I’m beginning to think it might be nighttime SEC game
