Hope everyone complaining about the egg bowl is happy now
Friday at 11am. Will be nobody there, student sections will be dead, and now it is at 11am on a Friday. Just great

TV chooses all game times now. Out of our hands
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

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.

I would prefer it to be on Saturday. But that's just me.
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.

If we are worth dressing out by then it'll draw a good crowd, unless it's shitty rain overcast and 49. They're trying to minimize the rivalry now that there are so many blue bloods in the league.

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.

We've had good crowds on Friday before. 2007 I know.
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!
I could never go to the Thursday game, just due to spending time with family everywhere.
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.

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.

Just play the mother17er on Saturday & stop with this nonsense

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 soon

The SEC has to want us on Saturday. It's evident that they do not.

For you young pups back in 90s, the Egg on Thanksgiving was the cherry of ESPN. Jackie had the Dawgs barking and the nation tuned in. Man how far we've fallen.
