That will likely be the most-watched ass whipping game of the weekend.

bama vs tu is scheduled for 11am kickoff.

Did bama play any games last year at 11?

Just curious, they are saying it's being dictated by the networks, but the networks want their best games at prime time slots. Either they anticipate a rout/boring game, or they don't think anyone cares to watch the short horns. No way the networks viewed this as a premiere game and put it at 11.

Last year, Alabama played one game that had an 11 AM kickoff, and that was a cupcake game against New Mexico State on 11/13/21. By contrast, Texas played 7 games that started at 11:00 AM, including in 4 consecutive weeks from 9/25/21 to 10/16/21 before a bye week on 10/23/21. After the bye week, Texas had 3 such games at Baylor on 10/30/21, at West Virginia on 11/20/21, and at home against Kansas State on 11/26.

Fox airs games at 2:30 PM, such as our game at Colorado last year, but 11:00 AM is their prime spot. For example, Fox always airs the Red River Showdown at 11:00 AM.

If that is Fox's prime slot it explains why Fox sports is the minor league of college sports broadcasts.

Lol it's smart business, why compete with other games when you can own the worst time slot?
