OK, let us dispel an enormous myth about a game a little later this month, and one that I confirmed with the LSU Sports Information Department.

The LSU game is not confirmed to be a night game as of yet. It still could be a day game. The determination as to kickoff of that game will be made 12 days before it is to be played. The game is to be played on Sept. 25, thus a determination on a kickoff time for the non-conference matchup be released on Sept. 13. Quite simply, the schedule is at the mercy of television.

So, with that said, I have been hearing a lot of people talk about those night games in Baton Rouge -- well, West Virginia might not even play a night game in Baton Rouge. Keep this in mind.

A night game is probable though. CBS has to pass on Bama-Arkansas to take this game at 3:30. ESPN at 7:45 is the best bet as of now.

@wvmountydog-
I know many think it is probable, but there have been many others who I have heard from who have been speaking in absolutes, like this is a done deal, like it is for sure a night game --- many have even booked their travel plans in such a way.
Just wanted to put it out there that nothing is certain...and, if in fact this becomes an afternoon/night game, I didn't want people to be totally shocked.
Again, no one will know until the 13th. There have been people saying "it is a night game, I know for sure" and that is, quite simply, not the case. No one knows, right now, what time kickoff will take place.

OK, I guess that many may have been confused by LSU listing an 8:00(7:00 Central) game as their default start time instead of showing time TBA or TBD.

Night or day still going a big game for WVU. Beating an SEC team in their stadium is major task. Television is money and money rules.
