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

I hear ya.
It actually works out for me because Saturdays are my busiest days and I’m not done until the late afternoon.

But if I worked a regular 9-5 with weekends off, I would go stir crazy as well on Saturdays with a late kickoff

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

I just turned 64. When I KNOW I’m going to consume mass quantities of alcohol…my adult beverage of choice is vodka screwdrivers. One third vodka, one third OJ, one third club soda. During the game Saturday, I had 8 drinks (2 every quarter). Went to church Sunday fresh as a daisy! The sin is not drinking, the sin is drunkenness. If I woke up with an hangover, I would have to explain my actions to the Lord!

So far in 2024, no explanation necessary

We needed this one to be a noon game. We need a mix of game times to allow the team to prepare for different playing environments. Preparing for a noon start is different than preparing fir a 7:30pm start. I like the prime time games, but I'd like them to be ready to compete day or night.

Help a brother here - looks like either ABC or ESPN, what is the decision the networks are weighing ? There is no other SEC game option per the picture at the top…. So, what would ABC choose to show instead ? Dancing with the stars ?

Good question, they may be looking at an acc game that night too, but Look for Tennessee to be the ABC game. The Vols will be #4 .

Don't get me wrong glad we get marquee time slot, but dang it seem the commercials increase in the game against the Sooners being on ABC at 7:30.

It was ridiculous! Seems I had to watch 2 hours of commercials for a 0ne hour game! 🤬 I Might consider taping the game then watch later that night.

I prefer the night games. Gives me time to get Good and lathered up and get my meat on the smoker without having to get up at 4 AM to start

I prefer the 3:30 slot because for home games it allows me to get hot in time to eat a late dinner and unwind before going to bed at midnight. When away game are played at night it is some better but I still can not get to sleep until 1am. Afternoon away games allow me to watch another good game in the comfort of my own home and snack/ drink as I wish.

Was that the game with the keystone cops punt coverage? Historically, things haven't gone very well down there for us.

I don't think we've won there since it was Kelly Washington versus Batman Caroll if I remember correctly. A game that got lightning storm delayed for like an hour.

We need to bring those orange britches and cook some bacon over there.

That ‘99 game still pisses me off. We had no business losing that, and it cost us a shot at the NC.

Would have gotten to play the bubbas in the SEC championship as well. Although, for some reason that was a pretty hot team. '99 was a frustrating season. Losing to Florida and Arkansas was rough, not to mention that Cornhusker rape and pillage.

Even though we won, the Memphis game felt like a loss too.

If Arky were to upset Texas A&M this weekend they might slide into the rankings in time for the Tennessee game imo.

That is distinct possibility. Arkansas should be 4 and 0 right now. In their only loss to OKST, they massively outgained the pokes and outplayed them as well on the road. If they could have held onto the ball they should have won.

I wonder what the record is for number of UT games at night in a single season?

So far - NC St, Kent St, OU
Confirmed - Arky
Potentially - Florida, UK, Ms St
Likely- Bama and UGA

That means if we didn't play another night game after next week, we would play 4 this year.
If we do end up with all of the potentials and likelys listed above we end up playing NINE of our twelve at night...that has to be some kind of record.

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.

Texas vs OU will be the 3:30 (likely ABC) game. Ole Miss vs LSU will be a night game (maybe ABC) depending their performances up to that game. I would guess Tennessee either gets the 7pm ESPN slot or the 3:30 ESPN slot. I’m hoping it’s a night game in Neyland. Imagine the environment with a 5-0 top 4 team in the country under the lights in Neyland.. especially after a full day of drinking.
