CBS can't air it. They can only pick a team a maximum of five times in a season. This Saturday will be Alabama's fifth time on CBS this season. They can't pick any more of our games after Mississippi State.

@bama alum Thanks. I wondered why CBS didn't pick that game up.

I didn't realize that there was a rule in place to limit the number of times a team may appear on the network. I imagine CBS is kicking themselves in their ass for having that agreement in place.

Interesting....via http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-r...bowl-highlights-espns-remaining-sec-schedule/

There is another comment that is interesting, this will be the first time that ESPN has broadcast the game since 2007.

ESPN’s remaining 2014 regular-season SEC game schedule – games on November 22, 27 and 29 – will be highlighted by a prime time telecast of No. 3 Auburn at No. 5 Alabama in the 79th Iron Bowl. ESPN will televise the in-state showdown – widely considered one of the most competitive and best rivalries in sports – on Saturday, Nov. 29, at 7:45 p.m. ET. SEC Network will also offer a live alternate presentation to ESPN’s coverage with specific details to be finalized.

Also, this is the first time the Egg Bowl will be on CBS...ever.

I can't believe CBS didn't think this one out. Even if we had multiple losses, it's a huge game that people like I watch all over the country. I can't believe they miscalculated this one.

Gotta take care of MSU and then it's payback.
