not sure they want to compete directly against ESPN. why fox doesn't put these games on their main networks is beyond me.
But aren't they doing that anyway on Saturdays? I don't think they'd let that keep them from a weekly Thursday night game. I don't think SEC schools will want regular Thursday games, though.
So, from what I can see the SEC Network is showing Bama on Sunday at noon which leaves us watching online. Anyone else see a channel anywhere?
They have an alternate channel. Most providers offer it. Comcast does not in many areas. Knoxville will not get it in HD on Comcast
This should help SEC Network Alternate is Channel 611-1 on DirecTV, 1608-1610 on AT&T U-Verse, 596-599 on DISH and 332 on Verizon FiOS. For cable channel information, visit www.secnetwork.com/channel
Manning had 462yds and 7tds last year on opening Thursday night. It'd be interesting to look at the overall trend though.
