But really though. I hope we get a CBS game or two next year, so our SEC Brothers will become more familiar with us earlier. I think I remember hearing CBS has the first rights to SEC Games before ESPN or ABC can touch them, but I dont completely know how the scheduling works yet.
Order of picking games:
1. CBS (Best production quality on TV)
2. ESPN Networks
3. SEC Network (De Facto ESPN)
4. Region Networks (Fox Sports South/Comcast/PPV)
CBS gets to have 2 primetime games I believe. And 2 doubleheaders.

Ok cool. We get the SEC Network up here in StL already so that wont be hard to get. Is there a plan to get rid of the PPVs though? That probably wont happen until we get a conference network but that will be great once that happens.

Don't forget that CBS gave ESPN two weeks with the first choice in exchange for ESPN agreeing to let bama/lsu move to primetime last year. I could definitely see ESPN putting our game with bama in primetime depending on what other games are slated for that day.
