Why is Arkansas-Missouri the Friday CBS game over the Egg Bowl?

I was pumped up about watching college football all day, took a look at the schedule and saw that Arkansas-Missouri was the Friday CBS game. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Why was Mississippi State- Ole Miss, a big rivalry game between two top 25 teams not the #1 choice? The worst part is there are a ton of good games on at the same time as the Egg Bowl tomorrow. I don't understand what CBS is thinking.

The schools chose the day to play, not CBS. Plus they're trying to make Arkansas-Mizzou relevant.

Probably because the Mizzou Ark game was scheduled for a friday while the egg bowl was scheduled for a saturday....you know the logistics of trying to reschedule a game in the middle of the season for a different day on a holiday weekend?

Because we've got Friday on lockdown. Blame LSU and the ags for needing to restart their amazing rivalry.

I care not who we play, but I love the Friday game.

If that's the case, why did CBS schedule that game over LSU-Aggy then?

Because that game is on Saturday.

What part of Mizzou/Arkansas being played on Friday do you not understand?

Think Auburn/Bama trumps LSU/A&M on the schedule tomorrow....CBS picked up the Mizzou game because it is the only SEC game on friday

It wasn't you bro, it was us.

ETA: Just turn down the lights, lower the window shades, revel in the soft glow of your miniature replica of the Boot, put on some easy listening music and remember the good times...

31-14
17-0
"For you my friend."
Knocking us out of the championship picture only to have us back in anyway.

Good times indeed.

Because Arkansas is a better team than Ole Miss.

That's unfortunate. I always enjoyed the LSU-Arkansas game on Black Friday.

While naming a trophy after the shape of it is quite dumb, it still doesn't beat the idiocy of your post.

I care not who we play, but I love the Friday game.

Yeah I guess the trade-off for Arkansas was LSU and A&M can play each other since LSU is above Arkansas but we get to keep the Friday CBS game. Idk if that's a deal or we just always choose to play on Friday so we get the CBS game due to lack of competition.

Not too many care about the UGA @ Tech Game; otherwise it would not be on at Noon.

I'm in the deer woods with my buddies all day Saturday with no access to TV, so CBS offered to move it to Friday for me.
