I get that they just want the overall rating m, but sheesh, what a brutal game to call the best option of the week.
Thank goodness the SEC added the 3:00 SEC Network game.
Bama has become so overly dominate that they've basically ruined the 2:30 time slot while making the SEC an absolutely non-competitive conference.
CBS literally chose to air a game this weekend that won't be within 3 scores after the first quarter.

Bama/ LSU

Bama @ crappy SEC East school.
Yeah. I acknowledged that. It's ruining the product though. Terrible games.Quote:

Seriously, if Bama isn't playing another Top 10 team there isn't much entertainment value in watching it. Heck, I don't even want to watch MSU play Bama and haven't watched a Bama game on TV all year. Will always watch any other game opposite game that might be competitive. No doubt the current Bama dominance is ruining the SEC product for most all SEC fans except Bama fans.Quote:

Nebraska-Oklahoma, Texas-Oklahoma, USC-Norte Dame, Michigan-Ohio State, Alabama-UT were on EVERY year. You could count on most other games featuring at least one of those teams or maybe Penn State. It was a BIG deal back then if you weren't one of the chosen few if you made it on TV.Quote:

This garbage is extremely old
Maybe that's true for you, but the thing that matters to CBS is money, and BAMA brings the ratings/money. The network of CBS doesn't mind BAMA winning at all.Quote:

I think those displeased with CBS/espn re: Bammer should just send back the check.Quote:

Why do you two feel the need to comment in this thread?
Your team already beats all of ours to hell and back. Why do you also feel the need to take over our message boards.
How could Bama fans possibly be that insecure?
Ironic.Quote:

Alabama-Tennessee is one of those grand old traditional games man. If I wasn't going to ours I would probably watch it. Now if UT doesn't get its act together soon most people younger than me won't remember it as a classic game. The Confederates and LSU was one of those too.....but you have to be a lot older than me to remember when it was due to Ole Miss not really being relevant since integration.
UGA is the only one with any real shot.Quote:

The real solution is a LITTLE more competitive recruiting but that is not likely to happen. For example, over the last 4 years Bama has signed 80 four or five star rated recruits while State has signed 17. Even Auburn and Georgia were only around 55. If I went out on the playground and got to pick my entire team before you even hardly picked your first player SHOULDN'T I beat you like a drum?Quote:
