Why did we play South Carolina at 7 pm?

[JoAllan]

It wouldn’t have mattered if we had played at 3am on the moon.

Seriously I’m having a minor aneurysm over all the what could haves. Thanks Jeremy Banks again. Anyway….why did we play South Carolina at 7 pm?? That should have been a noon game….

Yeah because our defense was so stout all year!

It had to be the 7 pm primetime nightmare scare!

At what point will these threads finally stop?

We lost.

Move on.

 

[EconVol92]

So by this same standard, Alabama could say the same about our game and LSU could ask why we had to play them at noon.

This is grabbing at straws at best.

If we or they are truly the better team you should be able to beat someone at any time of the day.

It was our chance being like 21 point favorites prime time to put an explanation point on our season. I thought it was awesome playing at night orange helmets can't explain it still trying to figure out what happened.

The defense purposely threw the game. Thats what happened.

The defense purposely threw the game. Thats what happened.

About the only explanation for letting an average team score on 9 out of 10 drives.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Tennessee can't blame their defeat on a 7 PM start. They just got outplayed that night.

Maybe I’m missing something. Why does the game time matter?

Example 1: UT vs. LSU

Example 2: UT vs. USCe

Do I need to explain it further?

No. We had everything we news to have happen to sexure our playoff spot happen…I need excuses now. !!!!

Jeremy Banks is our only good defensive player, not his fault. The other defensive players suck! He had nothing to do with 63 points!!! Maybe they score 50 if he played!

The Jeremy Banks situation disrupted the game in far more ways than just his absence. Most all of the guys were emotionally and mentally absent. May not have won…..I may be way off base, but I’m somewhere in the middle camp between “his absence affected nothing but missing a linebacker” and “the defense threw the game because of a big blow up”. Something happened, and it hampered the whole team severely.

I think he’s of the opinion that the environment is much tougher at night after 75k cocks have been drankin’ and druggin’ all day

Idk maybe. Your example is pretty dumb.

 

[Delmar]

I think his rationale is at 7 pm on a Saturday night, we were dealing with a large, raucous, loud, and likely inebriated crowd that affected their team positively and ours negatively. Chances are, we would have performed better with a noon game, but them's the breaks. We did the same to Bama and Kentucky.

Yep. If a frog had wings and all that….. TV makes the choice and nobody else has a say. Money talks…

We won’t be the only team where NIL will cost teams wins.

How’s NIL the problem? Please let me know your inside info!

 

[GoVolunteers]

Ok… time to archive this thread. Game time didn’t matter.

Hmmm…

The game is over and done with.

Wasn't just the fact he didn't play. Team moral was destroyed by Banks. Not saying we would have won without the Banks fiasco, but a close loss possibly could have kept us ahead of Alabama in the standings at this point. And look where they are setting now.

For excuses. People are looking for excuses

That performance wasnt all on Banks..There were other players involved and both were leaders on the team.

I got it myself…….but it wasn’t just the environment.

SC just kept scoring and scoring and scoring. The D couldn’t or didn’t do anything.

Not sure anything or any time or any place would have helped……..well maybe if the D had just shown up.

Yea I got that I just thought it was stupid to use that as an excuse. Nobody wants noon games.

Better question….why did we play Scar later in the year than we normally do? If we swap Scar for UK game dates, I think it changes the outcome.

 

[OrangeTsar]

It what we do blame 1st refs .2nd coaches. 3rd players 4th time slot

5th Quantum mechanics

because scheduled playing times do not consider terrible defensive showings of the away team.
