TV chooses all game times now. Out of our hands
Notice the time slot with that date? Staying far away from BIG BROTHER NFL Black Friday prime time slot?
Being retired I really don't give a shit anymore.
I’m right there with you.Quote:

Having the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving Day sucked. And anyone that thinks that the student section will be worse the day after Thanksgiving compared to Thanksgiving Day- LOL OK.
It's not like those Thanksgiving Egg Bowls were sell outs either. Probably the highest attended one I remember recently was in 2007 which was an early kickoff on a Friday or Saturday followed closely by 2009.
If we want a better slot then the football team needs to start winning some games. ESPN isn't going to want to put a 2-10 team against a 9-3 team in a prime slot the same weekend as the Iron Bowl.Quote:

We have no right to complain about any TV slot after going 2-10 and losing every SEC game by double digits. Until we start winning games we will be lucky to get many games outside this slot
We probably won't get but one if we do. We may never see SEC Nation in town again.Quote:

I don't really see the issue. If we have 5 wins going into that game, there will be a good crowd. The gap between the two rosters is much more narrow than it was 6 months ago.
Agree with this!Quote:

If anything, at least for me, this is almost perfect. See family on Thursday, and go to the game early enough on Friday, to still keep traveling on by the afternoon.
YAWN!Quote:

Saturday would be the ideal time, although I personally loved it on Thanksgiving, but we will never get it back on Saturday again unless we get good once again. It will be destined for the 11 AM SEC Network game on Friday until then.Quote:

who gives a shit. We'll get our ass handed to us no matter the date/time.
We can lobby for that but TV decides all that now. Money rules. Just like ESPN offering all those millions for a 9th SEC game. That's going to happen soonQuote:
