Lovell’s Analysis
This is when you know the season is close.
It’s time to go ahead and plan out your December to March schedule since all the conference game schedules have been set.
The SEC/ESPN partnership certainly provides the conference quite the luxury in putting an enormous amount of games on TV, and this season, there should be plenty of games that draw attention from those outside the league.
So, make sure the DVR is clear and ready to hold a whopping amount of games when conference play begins right before the start of the new year.
