A) Awesome...lets me have my complete and full saturday devoted to relaxing and watchign all the other games from morning til night. Not stressed out about the team, just a great kickoff day, etc.

B) Dislike...everyone else gets to get going 2 days before us, it's on a weekday, have to go to work the next day, etc.

Makes no difference to me. It let me double the trip to Orlando as a park trip as well. So that's cool I guess.

I wouldn't like it if we were playing anyone besides Wofford the next week though. Talk about a short turn around.

I hate it. It gives us way less time to study our previous game and prepare for our next opponent. Combine that with the fact that it's played in Orlando, it was an incredibly stupid decision.

No big deal. It sucks having a short week for game 2, but it's against Wofford, so no big deal.

I like being the only game on Monday. Lots of eyes watching us that wouldn't normally see us. Great exposure against a quality opponent.

Having the game on Saturday or Sunday would have given me an extra day or two recoup from a hangover, so I guess I'll just have to keep it slow Monday night. If that's the only negative I can find, then I guess I'll be alright.

We are the only game on Monday Night.

We will get tons of eyes on us. and I get to watch all other teams and scores on saturday.

Best of all worlds. wish we had longer to heal/rest/prepare for alabama. we get 12 days they get 14. but Ill live with it.

A

Great exposure and an opportunity for the entire country to see a Rebel win.


ETA: I will be much less productive Tuesday if OM pulls it off.

That is another bonus I forgot to add. Is that since it is first week of season all die hard college football fans will be watching our game.

If we can pull it off we are gonna get a TON Of credit pushed our way.

We get exponentially more national exposure than we would playing Saturday with all the other games to compete with. That and the money make it well worth it. If we struggle with Wofford on short rest we won't beat Bama anyway.
