Interesting...The Iron Bowl isn't necessarily the Saturday SEC game during Thanksgiving Weekend.
Could be FSU/UF

This sucks. If you have never been to a day game in Texas in September, it is miserable.
And I am only 29. Really sucks for our older Former Students (Alumni). My grandparents really struggle at these games.
Sounds like Alabama weather in September to me.

Not surprised, but i certainly thought this would've been the night game too.
Regardless of time, should be a good one to watch.

It’s hard to believe how far the Florida/Tennessee game has fallen....
I heard that Jefferson-Pilot Sports is contemplating a comeback just so they can pick up the Florida/Tennessee game...

Visitors coming to the Bama/A&M game. Be sure to deep hydrate before the game.
Also put on plenty of sunscreen, the field is central Africa hot and that sun will fry you.

That's the one problem with CBS games in September and, even in October sometimes. The fans take a beating from the big heat tab in the sky. But it also affects the players on the field and those are the games where the best conditioned teams usually win, when evenly matched or close. In this case it should be interesting. Is Texas a dry heat, or humid heat, this time of the year?
Go sit in a steam bath, there you now know what it feels like in East Texas in the summer.

Tennessee is to to blame. That said, I'd certainly like to see UT pull itself off the mat at some point quick-like, but I have a bad feeling they're in for a long dry spell. Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels to me there has been a permanent power-shift in the SEC away from Knoxville. I have nothing against Tenn, it just seems like Tennessee's glory days are behind them and they picked a bad time to slump (start of playoff, peak of college football on TV, SEC run, etc). The last 10 or so years is musical chairs for power grabs in the SEC, and it seems Tenn was left standing without a chair.

I fricking hate day games

I would love to know how LSU gets all those night games. Aggies are lucky to get one a year and it is usually a shite non TV game. September at 2:30 is dangerous, it really is. Bad move CBS.

1. LSU plays all games at night unless moved to the day for TV.
2. The SEC has a great contract with ESPN who televises several SEC games at night. Therefore, if you are not on the CBS game chances are the game will be on one of the ESPN channels at night.
3. CBS picks one game every year to televise at night. It use to be the Florida-Tenn game every year until UT went all to hell. Then FL-LSU became the pick. Now, Bama-LSU is the biggest regular season game of the year and CBS picks it.

If I remember correctly LSU didn't have a single home night SEC game in '11.

unless CBS also puts home SEC OOC games in their 2:30 slot the only other game that might unseat Bama/Auburn for that spot is A&M/Mizzou.
If they'll do an OCC matchup they'll have Florida/FSU and South Carolina/Clemson to choose from.
They do OOC games at SEC stadiums, UF/FSU has been on CBS plenty of times.

I don't know how many LSU fans on here were in Gainesville last year, but that game was absolutely brutally hot and it seemed to last forever with CBS' excessive timeouts.
