Ole Miss abandoned this in the late 90s and I hope they never go for it again.

We all get enough money from TV so why would any SEC team schedule a home game during the week?

(Thanksgiving and Labor Day are exceptions)

They want to make the pie bigger. Mizzou/MSU can't compete with the other games going on this weekend

Ole Miss opened last season on a Thursday night against Boise.

I'd much rather watch a Thursday night SEC game, than a boring NFL match-up.

you realize the SEC office is the one deciding to play these weekday games, we just play when were told to.

They do it because ESPN gets what ESPN wants.

I said this would be start happening and people scoffed b/c "Pawwwwwllllll SEC dont do that! Thursday is for small time leagues!!!!!"

Well get ready b/c its going to become more and more common.

Sorry but ESPN will demand it for the SECN and they will win.
