TV rumor yesterday (ht - ScenicCityDawg) was that FSS had agreed to televise two non-conference SEC home games in September this year. (which I assume includes the Aug. 30th opening week). Dean Legge of
DawgPost.com confirmed the rumor on The Porch message board.
The eligible games of interest (meaning games not already projected for TV include:
Week 1:
Georgia Southern at UGA
-- The last UGA vs GSU game in 2004 was televised on FSN at 3:00.
Week 2:
Tulane at Alabama
Southern Miss at Auburn
Central Michigan at Georgia
-- One of these games will be Raycom Sports (formerly LF Sports) and the other will be FSS. I'd guess that we'll be on LF Sports, and S. Miss at Auburn will be on FSS.
Week 3:
UAB at Tennessee
Week 4:
No realistic options
Week 5:
UAB at South Carolina
If I'm FSS, I take a game in Week 2 with my first choice. Then I decide between GSU vs. Top 4 UGA in Week 1 or UAB at Tennessee in Week 3. UAB/UT should be a better game, but the Vols may not be undefeated by Week 3 following their season opener at UCLA.
The UT at UCLA game is no gimme. To the best of my knowledge....no SEC team has won at a Pac 10 stadium since 1997.2007 - UT at Cal - L
2006 - ARK at USC - L
2003 - AU at USC - L
2002 - MSU at Oregon - L
1999 - Bama at UCLA - L
1997 - UT at UCLA - W I'm an idiot. Thanks Tom. I knew that didn't look right.
