that was an experience for me, too. i decided to chance it and left the house at my usual 7 am on friday morning for the drive down. i didnt even know if there would be a game. i decided if by sheveport i didnt know, i would keep driving and just go all the way to br. if i got the cancel call before then, i would turn around and go back. right at the texas/louisiana state line i got a call from podkatt that the game was on. a later text from the guys was that we would just tailgate all night to get one in, which we did. i got into br and finally to the hotel around 6 pm after getting trainers and dinner, caught a couple hours sleep, got up, got ready and to the parade grounds at midnight. tailgated all night, game at 10, back to the hotel at i dont know what time, got some sleep (but not a lot cause a transformer blew and the hotel lost electricity), hit the road at 6 am on sunday, and my usual 9-9.5 hour drive took over 13 hours cause of evacuations. but all in all, it was one helluva time! and i mean that in a great way!:thumb:

Well, that could be good news. Unfortunately, if my memory serves me right, almost all of our games on CBS are daytime. Which just pisses me off. There is a reason the enviornment is so tough on opponents on Sat Nite in Tiger Stadium.
I find that ESPN's schedule is very credible, and just as CBS hasn't show theirs yet, ESPN doesn't show game times until 2-3 weeks before the game at the earliest. That being said, I still think we'll only have 4 home night games unfortunately. Does anyone know why we don't have a say in this? I'm assuming that CBS has a contract with the SEC that allows CBS to decide when the games are if they want to broadcast them, but that takes away from LSU tradition. I can't understand why they don't just hold night games on CBS. I'd say an SEC primetime game would probably get some views at 7:00 p.m. on a Saturday night.
CBS has had a couple primetime games like LSU-Florida the past 3 years, and Florida-Tennessee for a while. I would say that there was a lot of success in those games, I don't understand why they don't keep doing it.
Right, they get one double-header every year, which is part of the agreement between the SEC, CBS, and ESPN. I imagine they would have to renegotiate the contracts to add any others. Who knows, it could happen.
That's why CBS partnered with ESPN. CBS does one prime time game a year and the ESPN family picks up the other SEC games. I'm sure CBS makes more money off their prime time Saturday night programming than they do SEC football. It's all about the $$$
