Thursday night should be reserved for non power conferences

early in the season it makes some sense, people are hungry for games and not that particular about who it is playing, the later the season goes on the less sense it makes, which is why I, as AD, would say, yea Thursday the first few weeks, ok, but after that, no.

Not too bad. Go up to UTCS, pick up an easy "W". Be back in BR for a long weekend.

You ags are alright.

Thursday night games and noon games make me die a little inside.

Bama has played a couple on Fridays before. Usually against a poor team the week prior to the Iron Bowl. That would bother me more than a Thursday night game.

A Friday night game?? That just sounds weird with College Football.

If both teams have a bye the week before, why wouldn't you play on a Thursday, and get two long weeks of practice instead of one? Seems practical to me.

So, you would enjoy if the Gators started playing home games on Thursday night?


I'm not sure we could even if we wanted to. It would be a logistical nightmare.

I guess Auburn is a crap program too?


Or other P5 teams that have played Thursday night games like Michigan, Southern Cal, etc.

But it's totally just crap programs.

If someone would tell a&m to show up for these games it might make it more entertaining for casual fans.

LSU fans enjoy the yearly beating we put on a&m but if it were more competitive it might help the numbers.

If Miss. St. and Mizzou had played on Saturday, who would have watched the game?
