  1. Well, yes and no. 2:30 is no longer the CBS game of the week but the 2:30 window is open for ABC to use for an SEC game but it won't be the "game of the week". ESPN will still have the nighttime game. 7pm on ABC will be an SEC, ACC, or Big 12 game that's prominent. You can imagine which conference will get the bulk of that. Texas OU will never be that though. This is from article back in November: SEC’s Greg Sankey: Mid-afternoon broadcast TV game will continue after move to ABC/ESPN in 2024 Updated: Nov. 30, 2023, 5:34 p.m.| Creg Stephenson | cstephenson@al.com SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Thursday that the weekly college football broadcast schedule will look very much the same as it does now after the move to ABC/ESPN next year. There will be an SEC game at 2:30 p.m. Central/3:30 p.m. Eastern each Saturday on ABC, just as there has been on CBS since 1996. There will also be SEC games at 11 a.m. Central/noon Eastern on ABC and/or ESPN and the SEC Network as well as multiple primetime games on the various networks. What will change beginning next year is that the mid-afternoon game will not necessarily be the No. 1 game of the week. That marquee matchup could shift to primetime, Sankey said. “The broadcast windows become all day from an ABC standpoint,” Sankey said when speaking to reporters in Atlanta to preview Saturday’s SEC championship game between Alabama and Georgia. “Now, obviously there are other conferences with those affiliations. We have our ESPN or ESPN2, ESPNU and SEC Network commitments. But one of the opportunities that’s created with our new agreement is the ability to have more than only one game a day on broadcast TV. “… We are accustomed through our CBS relationship that the best game of that particular day was often selected by CBS to go into that 3:30 window. … [Starting in 2024], we don’t have those same limits. So the best game of the day might be in primetime with great frequency. We will always have a 3:30 p.m. Eastern time SEC game broadcast on ABC, but a little bit more variability.” Another thing the move to ESPN/ABC will allow the SEC to do is schedule kickoff times and broadcast assignments further out, Sankey said. In recent years, the league has announced kickoff times and television information for the first three weeks of the season and other select games during the summer, with the remainder announced on a week-to-week basis. That will change with the SEC having only one broadcast partner to satisfy rather than two. Sankey said he is hopeful that up to half of the SEC’s kickoff times and television information will be announced by the time SEC Media Days takes place in July. “Our staff is already working on what that broadcast schedule might look like,” Sankey said. “… The opportunity to know the noon Eastern time kickoffs throughout the season will allow our campuses and our fans to plan, rather than having those six-day and 12-day experiences around that early kickoff. We’ll have some flexibility between the midday and the primetime games and some scheduling, which is a bit of an hour differential rather than just waiting and wondering about the entire broadcast day.”
  2. Pretty sure CDC said Fair Park and Dallas PD want the game to remain at 11am for crowd control.
  3. VAR checking that is a joke. Use your f'ing brain
  4. Nice shot by Grav. Now hold the f'ing lead. And as mediocre as Harvey has been, that was a nice intercept.
  5. Fox isn't beholden to the SEC on anything for scheduling. It was always going to be a Big Noon game. That's Fox's prime time spot now. That's where they're getting the most eyeballs every week. Now when Michigan eventually comes to Austin, that will be a night game on ABC/ESPN.
  6. Terrapin Taproom? Decent beers there if you have time.
  7. 11am is perfect for us. A severely depleted Michigan team getting a not fully lubed up Big House. The entire reason this game moved was so Fox could have one of 2 last Texas games. The other will be Ohio State in 2025.
  8. Whew. That's a lot of pitches for one inning. Bullpen is going to get a lot of work.
  9. Get ready for them to whip your ass with the chop. It's like Boomer Sooner.
  10. Cause he's juicing /TexaggyArcher
  11. Nice. We sat up in the 2nd level back in June 2019. Wanted the shade from the summer sun since we went to an afternoon game.
  12. Well hello Tricia Whitaker. If you've never been, the Braves stadium is decent. Good views, tight stadium. They have a Texas Live type setup connected to the stadium. Similar to the what they have outside of Wrigley now.
  13. For the life of me, I can't understand why all of you pointlessly engage with him.
  14. ESPN does this for some of the playoff/NYD bowls. There's a separate stream for just stadium sound so you hear the stadium PA and no commentary. It's one of the alternate channels on the ESPN app. Would love to have that for MLB too. Apple looks great for baseball. The commentary isn't so much.
  15. Font quality looks very familiar.
