CBS annual night game

I'm tired of this game going to Alabama/LSU every year. This year will mark sixth straight year this particular game is going to get the one CBS night game of the year, and LSU is unlikely to even be ranked this time. It's a disgrace that every other big conference game has to be played at 2:30 while this game gets an automatic primetime spot.

They can have the 6 hour game.. I have a wife to sleep with.

Meh. I think the bigger problem is that we only get one a year

Bama/LSU brings in the $$. Get over it.

Agreed. They really should have picked another game this year given how shitty LSU is.

They need to adjust commercials and flow of game. 5 hours even with double OT is insane.

And you can't blame them. LSU was supposed to be good this year

The "big" stories swirl around LSU and Bama. A lot of non sports stories are connected to LSU and BR. The news goes where the story is.

People like to be drunk when they see Bama crush LSU

The problem is that CBS picks which weekend receives the night game before the season even starts, and of course they pick the weekend LSU plays Alabama. But there needs to be some flex in that schedule to avoid featuring a game that will ultimately be AT BEST the fourth most important game in the conference this year.

Look at the Top 10 highest rated games in the country any given year and half will involve Bama. Bama is the biggest draw. Their biggest opponent will be the biggest game. It's not a 'disgrace' it's good business sense. If you don't like it get a bigger brand

And their biggest opponent this year is going to be A&M, not LSU. I don't have any problem with ALabama getting that slot, I have a problem with the game being decided upon before the season starts.

Best does not equal biggest. Why do you think Notre Dame gets such great tv deals even when they suck

It's insane that Tennessee-Texas A&M was at the 4 1/2-hour mark BEFORE the end of regulation, and that CBS games are usually 4 hours without overtime. I want to Greg Sankey to address the next time he says he's worried about player safety.
Wait, that topic is too much for him to handle, too. Never mind.

*since A&M joined the SEC (4 games)*
LSU points vs Alabama = 63 points
Alabama points vs LSU = 109 points
Average margin of victory = Alabama +11.5 points
Texas A&M points vs Alabama = 94 points
Alabama points vs Texas A&M = 173 points
Average margin of victory = Alabama +20 points
Then what level of intoxication does it take to watch A&M-Alabama
?
