I don't - wait for it - wait for it - wait for it - wait for it- wait for it - wait for it - care.

If you can't start drinking @ 9 am then you really aren't a Tiger or a Lamecock.

Is there going to be a fight over which team gets the tickets?

What? I've got my first beer open and breakfast on the grill at 9am when I tailgate for a 1 pm game and that's only because the parking lots are roped off till 8:45ish.

Of course I don't go to SC games so they might do things differently wrong

They changed the time to accommodate the ESPN/SEC contract. So ESPN, you fail for blaming it on whatsherface.

CFB tix: $25-200 apiece

Hannah Montana tix: $250-1500 apiece

This can't possibly be about the money.

Across town....Columbia is so progressive

Please explain, I'm honestly curious.

Since it's a SC home game, the SEC's TV deal with ESPN/CBS sets the time.

Despite what she may think, ESPN probably doesn't consult Miley's schedule assigning game times.

/Unless Steve Phillips is working the game.
//He's single, she's single. I'm just saying...
///Yes, I'll have a seat over there - right next to Steve.

Wow. I can't believe they are seriously running with the Miley Cyrus angle.

You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning. Get on it, boys!

Dr_Retriever: Across town....Columbia is so progressive

Traffic to and from the stadium runs right past the Colonial Center. That said, the SEC/ESPN broadcast schedule is the far more likely culprit.

/loves early tailgating

Wait for it...wait for it...

...party in the usa is a catchy song

JustGetItRight: Despite what she may think, ESPN probably doesn't consult Miley's schedule assigning game times.

Isn't that Miley chick promoted by Disney?? If that's the case, I'd be willing to bet ESPN in fact DOES consult with her peeps.

Please explain, I'm honestly curious.

The SEC has a TV contract with ESPN/CBS that guarantees that almost all of the leagues games will be televised. If I remember correctly, each team has 1 pay per view game. All the rest are on CBS,ESPN,ESPN2,ESPNU, or syndicated through the SEC network - think ESPN lite. They're also all on ESPN360.

Part of the deal is that the networks have a series of slots and a 'draft' sets the games a couple of weeks in advance. The 2:30 CBS game is pretty much the first pick, followed by the prime time ESPN game. Everything else is a 11, 11:20, or 6pm kick. The earlier times are usually the less marquee games of the week. Here's that weekend for an example:

Clemson at South Carolina (12 - ESPN)
Ole Miss at Mississippi State (12:21 - SEC Network)
Florida State at Florida (3:30 - CBS)
Tennessee at Kentucky (7 - ESPNU)
Arkansas at LSU (7 - ESPN)
Georgia at Georgia Tech (7 - ABC/ESPN2)

The big game is Florida/Florida State, followed by Georgia/Georgia Tech. They probably picked Arkansas/LSU third because of the upset potential. That pushed Clemson/SC to either the early slot or one of the smaller networks. Since it will probably be a competitive game and has bowl implications it got the early slot on the parent(ESPN) network.

Sucks to not know game times until a few days in advance, but it is great to see almost all your team's games on TV.

Am I the only one who thinks the world would be a much, much better place if the Miley Cyrus tour bus plunged off a tall cliff into a ravine filled with hungry alligators?

That's too bad since this game may carry some serious playoff implications.

Oh, wait.

yet they couldn't change the time the ac/dc concert let out during game 5 of the nlds in philly. my met's fan friend was stemmed he had to dodge celebrating phillies phans after the concert.

Is she even legal yet? Then why should I care?

This news makes my tummy turn.

/not really.
//hates that damn song

Heck, we start cooking and drinking at 8 in the morning at clemson home games.That is why we take the rv and stay at the beach.

Fark, means Im going to miss the game cause of work......

Digitalstrange: Fark, means Im going to miss the game cause of work......

Why worry. I'm the biggest SEC homer around, but Clemson and Spiller are going to crush SC.

And that TV schedule has the sure shot CBS 3:30 game of Alabama v. Auburn being played on Black Friday this year. Keep in mind, however, that the UGA v GT game is actually on the ACC schedule since it is being played in Atlanta (thus the ABC slot, not ESPN.) Oh, and as a side not, SEC ESPNU games are not on ESPN360.

I love the "fark me in the ass" pic

Wait for it...

Aren't ESPN & Miley both Disney properties?

Maybe this is a "flying saucer boy" thingamajigger for Disney's ESPN or something.

/cue the Romulan dude?

Unlikely. Huge corporations don't really like it when their profit engines collide. Disney wants you to watch the game on ESPN, watch the later game on ESPN2, then go to the Hannah Montana concert later that night.

Why do I get the urge to "take a seat over there"?

I wish I had photoshop skills.

I hate when its an early game. All season the games start at 12:30 here on the west coast and tailgating at 8:00AM on a Saturday is not my cup of tea. Driving out to the Rose Bowl at 7:00am is not enjoyable either.

/UCLA fan, all our home games this year were at 12:30.

God forbid we have anything mar the sanctity that is the Clempson v SCAR game.



/Dawgs fan
//Hate both teams
//Meteor game

iamskibibitz: Am I the only one who thinks the world would be a much, much better place if the Miley Cyrus tour bus plunged off a tall cliff into a ravine filled with hungry alligators?

alligators are possible in S C the tall cliff not so much though. off a bridge, now that's another question entirely

sprkythdvl: alligators are possible in S C the tall cliff not so much though. off a bridge, now that's another question entirely

Panther Mountain (north of Greenville) humbly applies for the position.

/after, of course, Miley's "special appearance" at the I Felta Thi frat house

Came for the pole dancing pic.
Guess I have to do everything myself...

If they learned that he concert wasn't the reason for the game being rescheduled, why don't they just pull the story off the site?

Whoa, this headline is nowhere near the one I submitted.
