Louisiana vs Arkansas State: PreGame

I’ll be hitting the Boudin Cook off that morning then heading to tailgating.

I’ll pass on Gulf Brew this year.

That's correct. ESPN schedules the times, not the athletic department. Some people just want to blame UL for everything.

ESPN: Any reason you can't play at 4pm on ESPN+ while there is a festival going on and the P5 down the road is hogging eyeballs?

UL: No reason that comes to mind.

Is that all in your mind, or are you inside Maggard’s mind?

ESPN has to, has to, has to, be getting input before making decisions.

There isn't a network on the planet that just throws out programing without consideration for what it is going up against.

I guarantee they are getting data from all of their potential options before making decisions.

We live in an age where they spend millions to get individual data, there is no way they are ignoring group data ... unless it hasn't been provided.

I see you are sure that a 4 start as opposed to a 6 or 7 is data driven . . .

I believe you are absolutely correct . . .

There must be something in the data that indicates even an ESPN+ only showing gathers more views at 4 rather than 6 or 7 . . .

No decisions these days involving money are made without data . . . other than possibly some made by Louisiana . . .

Why are folks acting surprised or like this is something new? Hasn’t most October and November games been at 4pm for years?

Before the advent of ESPN 3, plus, watch ESPN it was normal that every game after homecoming was at 4pm. At least since the early 90’s

You are correct. Even since those ESPN outlets most game from Oct on have been at 4.
