Vols get a night game for Arkansas

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

All these night games are driving me nuts. Don't like waiting all day for a kickoff!

When you have to work till 6 on Saturdays you learn to love them

 

[ATC_VOL]

Back when the VOLS were not so good there were lots of complaints about not having night games or the primetime 3:30 slot. A lot of it had to do with not enough pregame tailgating time, and for those that don't go to games it sort of messes up Saturdays, especially early games. As for me, I like the night games because I can get more done during the day. I'm sure will get some 3:30 games mixed in when we play Bama, UGA, and FLA. UTEP is already listed as a noon start. Wouldn't be surprised if the MSU game is noon as well.

Mississippi State is already announced as a night game.

ABC still showing ACC games or are they exclusive SEC now? And I think Ark vs TN (if Ark wins this weekend) will draw more viewers. The only other game I could see knocking us off ABC is Auburn vs UGA possibly. As much as i hate the 9 million commercial breaks, having 3 games out of 5 on primetime ABC National Television HAS TO help our recruiting.........especially with recruits outside our normal footprint.

I am thinking Piggies get a W Saturday our game will then be on ABC, L to ESPN. Yep ABC is still showing ACC games.

Tenn. Needs to walk in there like the #5 team they are with a bit of a chip on their shoulder and take care of business, get the win and leave.
Leave the hand ringing and nail bitting for the hogs.

Hope we do, and Arkansas looking a tad better i think. Hopefully we taje care of business easily

And Kentucky

 

[TennEddie]

Pretty special that you have a top 25 matchup that day with A&M and Missouri and a historical rivalry game with Auburn/Georgia but the vols playing an unranked opponent are still placed in the prime time spot.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Arky is ranked by than. They are playing great football.

 

[TennEddie]

I hate on the road night games...make me so nervous

The players did like them either.
Sitting around a hotel,killing time leads to a lethargic start.

 

[Nicovfl8]

What time are we guessing the Florida game starts? im gonna be in Knoxville for that one, I hope it’s a 3:30 game.

A&M v Mizzou
and
UF v UCF
both shaping up to be interesting matchups.
I am going to spend every commercial break that night watching UCF take out UF.

A&M is not good, but they have enough to defeat Mizzou if their defense can stop the run.

With the change it networks, this will be the norm for us as we keep winning. Primetime is no longer 3:30 pm on CBS, it’s UT under the lights on ABC.

 

[VOLfrombama]

We're talking BBQ, right?

Maybe so,maybe not

Actual time announced later but either 6 or 6:30 central so another road night game for the good guys!

Man that sucks balls. But I knew this would happen things will be incredibly tough on the road. Almost a guarantee that the UGA game will be at night too

It’s destroying my liver

You make that sound like it’s a bad thing.

Very revealing that an alleged top 10 team in Missouri is playing a ranked team in A&M and still getting the 11am slot. The networks know what teams people want to see.

 

[OrangeInKy]

I've got a pretty big church event that morning and afternoon, so I'm good with it. I get to do the Lord's work and watch the game. Win-win for me.

Awesome! However, supporting the Vols can also be considered doing the Lords work.

I was in the stands in Fayetteville the last time the Vols played a night game there. It was a nightmare.

By nightmare, what do you mean? My husband is going on a hunting trip for a few days. I decided instead of being home alone I would take my oldest son to the game.

I'm guessing what it means is Tennessee lost and the fans were rowdy.

As I look at these games, I can help but think only a few years ago we were in the realm of Florida and Auburn…afterthoughts in the conference. So great to be BACK in prime time pecking order.

I feel like the team plays their best at noon games as well.

Agree. No repeat of 2022.

We weren’t stone cold killers back then.

The football team should use the song, "Even The Nights Are Better" by Air Supply as their theme song this season.

 

[Volfan1000]

We keep getting the prime time slot. I guess we're good TV.

Tennessee is MUST SEE TV.
