The 23 Egg Bowl was also on ESPN, and did a good rating, and we were terrible. They would've let us stay on Thanksgiving but too many of our fans were complaining that it was on Thanksgiving and just thought we'd get to pick what day we played on. We've now left it up to ESPN/SEC like it was from 04-12. There may be a couple of years we get that Saturday game but for the most part we'll be playing at either 11 or MAYBE 2:30 on Friday.
