Technically, it's noon. EST is the time zone that actually matters.

Coach Stallings is that you?

In all seriousness it's a tad bit easier to schedule football than basketball. I'm sure it'll change when we go to the extended schedule next year without divisions.

I do think it's interesting when people complain about short turnarounds when most D-1 kids today played AAU ball with crazy arse day to day, multi game schedules.

From another board. Why is an LSU fan complaining?

"Lets see the breakdown for each team between Tues, Wed and Thursday games

Doing a quick check for SEC East Teams:
1. Kentucky = 5 Tuesday, 1 Wednesday, 1 Thursday (Next game is Sunday tho)
2. Vandy = 4 Tuesday, 2 Wednesdays, 2 Thursday (1 of those next games is Sunday)
3. Florida = 5 Tuesday, 2 Thursdays
4. South Carolina = 1 Tuesday, 5 Wednesday, 1 Thursday
5. Georgia = 2 Tuesdays, 5 Wednesday, 1 Thursday
6. Tenn = 2 Tuesdays, 5 Wednesdays, 1 Thursday

SEC West
1. LSU = 2 Tuesdays, 5 Wednesdays, 0 Thursdays
2. Auburn = 3 Tuesdays, 4 Wednesdays, 0 Thursdays
3. Alabama = 2 Tuesdays, 3 Wednesdays, 2 Thursdays
4. Miss St = 2 Tuesdays, 3 Wednesdays, 2 Thursdays
5. Ole Miss = 1 Tuesday, 3 Wednesdays, 3 Thursdays
6. Arkansas = 3 Tuesdays, 4 Wednesdays, 1 Thursday

10 of the 12 teams have a game on Thursday. Most have just 1. Vandy has two but with one of those their next game is on a Sunday.

We have one against UGA but don't play UF until Sunday. If anyone should complain it should be Ole Miss since they have 3 instances where they play Thu-Sat."

Oh, this crying again?

Here is the deal...until other SEC programs start bringing viewers to the tube, they will never have special treatment with the networks.

Hate to break it to ya, but Kentucky brings an audience....and audience means more viewers...more viewers bring more revenue for the networks.

Why do you think they put Duke on all the time on ESPN?
