Tulane Game Week (pregame)

[facelessjonmoon]

False: there was a similar dispute in past with fox and with nbc, the timing of those were around world.cup and tennis. They just figured it out sooner

Last year DirecTV's main dispute was with Nexstar who owns 197 local tv stations around the country. Some NBC, fox , cbs etc. In Lafayette they own KLFY and they got cut off right around the beginning of football season too and it went on for quite a while. Yes an OTA antenna can get you around that for the most part but same annoyance

Still gonna be at the game. Never quite understood why some people insist on having to say a shiz sandwich tastes good though. Anyone with common sense knows any “national exposure” from this game being on ESPNU is nothing compared to what we will lose in attendance and tailgating. It’s okay to admit something sucks.

This x100

SCHEAUX UP AND BEAT THE WAVE ANYTIME ANY PLACE!

Texas-Michigan was a must watch

Temps were in the upper 60’s and low 70’s during the game.

Huge difference

Don’t hate the 11 start. Better than 2:30 but not as good as 6-7. Reverse tailgate? With a high of only 88 the morning should be relatively pleasant for mimosas and Bloodys.

Temps won't be 88 by halftime, and certainly not at 1 and 2 o'clock.

I expect a capacity crowd but that should not be used as gauge as to whether this is a good time for future* games.

*Unless they are evaluating future Thanksgiving Day games

Just sack up. Anyway, there should be a rule in place for every ESPN contract that you get 1 veto a year. This is a ball breaker for attendance

[billbeck451]

my biggest problem with 11am games that aren't announced till week before is that I live 3hrs away and make hotel reservations weeks in advance of games and now their isn't open rooms for Friday night so that means that I'll be driving at 5:30 am to get into Lafayette at a decent time before the game, it also destroys my morning plans in Lafayette which usually is the farmers market top pick up things for my wife that she likes from there.

I like your veto option!

All we need to do is insist upon no weekday games on espnu nor any time changes on Saturday for espnu.

This would eliminate the majority of attendance/culture crushing games for every school in the SBC.

It would lead to less money per school from the contract, but would also lead to fanbase and donor growth.

When school fan bases are going to complain about massive crowd impact for any game that’s not between the hours of 4-7 pm or when it’s anything but 72 degrees and sunny, presidents and ADs are going to go for every media dollar they can get.
