Note: It is not easy for a broadcast network to open a primetime slot for a sporting event on 2-3 weeks' notice. It's that big.

Was it a 12:00 game before the prime time slot? :o

I assumed it was going to be in their normal 2:30 slot.  CBS gets first pick I believe, so I knew it would be on CBS.

I bet CBS had to pay some serious dollars to do this. ESPN may not be happy, so I am guessing a deal was done.

This is the kind of matchup that football fans organize house parties around.  Not just BAMA or LSU fans.

Why isn't anybody talking about who this favors.  Not "who", but us.  A night game will definitely favor Alabama, despite LSU traditionally playing its home games at night.  This year, not so much.  Bama, yes.  The long day waiting favors the home team, IMHO.

Noooooo!!!!  That means 9 AM kickoff for me, and 9 AM is around the time my internet speed begins to slow.  I had to finish up the Tenn. game listening to Eli.

Ugh.  I hate night games.  I try to stay preoccupied with other things during the day, but it doesn't work very well.  After the game ends, I'm usually still pretty pumped up for a good while, and I have a hard time going to sleep.  It makes for a rough time getting up to get ready for church on Sunday.

That is definitely the worst part, Terrie.  I do feel like the night time start gives kicks our home field advantage up another notch though.

I agree, HL, it gives us an advantage.  Terrie, patience is a virtue (it's biblical).

Night game is a definite advantage.  I'm thrilled with the decision other than the fact that now I may have trouble watching it.
