Dave Hart said SEC asked if we would move game after ESPN requested SEC to move one of the games that hasn't been scheduled for TV yet to Thursday.

First home Thursday night game for TN since 1938, one of our 4 National Title winning teams.

Hmm... that's the slot where SC often plays. I like it because it gives us extra time to prep for VT.

Looool Tennessee NEVER would get caught playing on Thursday night though

What was it? "Real football is played on Saturday on Sunday"

If you need extra time to prep for VT, your season is fricked

Which Vol troll was on their high horse last year making fun of South Carolina for always playing on Thursday nights?

We still are. We are just on ESPN at 8PM instead of SECN.

How exactly did they play a home night game in 1938?

If it wasn't opening week I would hate this.

It's opening week, no problem with this at all. If it were mid-season like SC or Kentucky or Auburn, I might be upset.

We haven't played a mid-season Thursday night game since 2009.

But you have played a mid-season Thursday night game. I stand vindicated.

But see, that's an added caveat. Every opener we played on Thursday night we had Tennessee fans telling us how only garbage teams play on Thursday.

It's funny seeing the same reasons that we were made fun of for being spouted by Vol fans now.

I don't remember that. I've certainly never said it.

Yep, everyone's really holding their breath over UF's massive Saturday clash with UMass to open the season.

You should play it at Darlington Motor Speedway.
