We are all just having fun here so all I am arguing is that there is a reason that this game is being shown versus several others that would normally in other seasons seem more competitive. Network TV likes fun competitive games

If the bookies and the media expected this to be be a blowout and not a hotly contested game we would not be in primetime. I'm certainly not star struck by our team and realize we have 3 losses, but the expectation of a good competitive game with one of them a top 10 team is why this game is on primetime. And I agree we could lay an egg at home again or win the game. But our ability to play Top 10 teams tight is why we are in this position.
The bookies.😁🤣😀 Same guys that arranged the UPC- Louisville game in prime time on ESPN tonight?

It's an especially stupid argument since ESPN decided this would be a night game back in June!
The issue for me was whether or not the game would be broadcast OTA, since I do not have a paid subscription to any TV service.
It's more nuanced than that. Several games are on during prime time in the East. Not all outlets are equal. We rode A&M coattails and a milquetoast SEC schedule this week to get the ABC game - and then we somehow want to brag about it. Typical groping for relevance.
My opinion was/is one of gratefulness. And fortunately, it worked out well for us.

My internet went out Saturday afternoon after the line got cut clearing trees in my backyard. I too was grateful for an OTA broadcast!
