Mizzou at 4 pm on SEC Network

[gardnerwebbgator]

Opposite Bammer/UcheaT on CBS that day. 4 straight weeks the Vols get the prime spot on CBS, think the league doesn't want them in Atlanta too much, eh?

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

I'm ok with a 4 pm start.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

4pm on Thurs?

 

[williston_gator]

Odd time.

The whole CBS/Tenn network is starting to get a little old and were not even half way there yet.

 

[williston_gator]

Also getting old is all the TV commentators being anti gator and having no clue what they are talking about when they speak.

All we had to do was beat Tennessee for another 2 quarters and it's a completely different feeling.

It's Tennessee's year.

Yes, my thoughts exactly! I muted the goons Saturday. I opened my Tune in Radio App and synced the TV to the time of Mick Hubert. It was amazing. Wish I would have done that earlier.

I always do that.

Yeah, not like we didn't have everything to do with this turn of events.

Griping about winning teams getting the bulk of good tv networks and time slots

They are in the middle of a hell of a stretch of games that will go a long way to determining who goes to Atlanta why would they not be on CBS? If Florida had that stretch of games and kept winning (or at least could score some points and be entertaining) we'd be on CBS and not have back to back noon starts

 

[TN G8tr]

We had stretches like that in 2006, 08, 09

And we were on CBS a ton...hell when CBS started with the SEC in 96 is was basically the UF network for the first 5 years

 

[Durty South Swamp]

And we were the class of cbs and espn at the time as well. Funny how that works. Winning is the solution.

 

[TN G8tr]

That's the Key, Win and it all takes care of itself.

 

[MJMGator]

I wish we'd play at 2:00am on Tuesday's so no one would see the sh*t we're putting on the field and I would have a better excuse for sleeping through it.

 

[Swamp Queen]

Sadly, I think this is accurate. Especially after watching that ridiculous hail mary Saturday.

Looks like 98 all over again...except we know fsu isn't sniffing the game this year. Only game worse would have been a manning vs manning super bowl

That's the Key, Win and it all takes care of itself.

Scoring some points would help too...

This reminds me of another Steve Spurrier story. This one is taken from an article by Chris Low:

"He [Spurrier] was in Panama City Beach, Florida, in the spring of 1998 speaking at a function. Afterward, he and his longtime football operations director, Jamie Speronis, were walking up the beach toward a man who was sporting an orange Tennessee Vols shirt.

The Vols, who were a top-10 program at the time, couldn't get over the hump against the Gators and had lost five straight, similar to South Carolina's recent dominance of Clemson.

So as the man approaches, Spurrier pipes up and says, "How them Vols gonna do this season?"

The fan, amazingly enough, didn't recognize Spurrier. He held up his index finger and said defiantly, "National champs."

Even today, Spurrier gets a kick out of that exchange.

"I'll be damned if he wasn't right," Spurrier said. "They did win it that year."
