Georgia vs. Auburn Kickoff Time and TV News


As I predicted last week, it's official. The Georgia Bulldogs will play the Auburn Tigers at 12:30 ET on Raycom Sports.

Other SEC TV Games:
  • South Carolina at Florida - CBS at 3:30 ET
  • Mississippi State at Alabama - ESPN 7:45 ET
  • Vanderbilt at Kentucky - ESPN2 8:00 ESPN2
I'm not really sure why ESPN2 decided last week to pick the Vandy at UK game. I'm skeptical it will be a better game than ours. That's probably some sort of back room deal as part of other picks earlier in the year. But that's neither here nor there.

Tommy Tuberville is one of America's worst pre-1:00 pm kickoff coaches. It's a break for the Dawgs to play the Tigers so early. Off the top of my head with minimal research, here are some early afternoon kickoffs that Tuberville has lost. Auburn was the heavy favorite in most of these.

Tuberville sleeps late on Saturdays:
    2006 - UGA (home)
    2006 - Arkansas (Home)
    2005 - Wisconsin (Capital One Bowl. 1:00 pm Kickoff)
    2002 - Arkansas (home)
    2001 - Arkansas (away) I think this was 11:30 local
    2000 - Mississippi State (away) Not sure on this kickoff time
