re: Why do the Big 6 schools think they're too good to play Thursday night games?

LSU did that opening Thurs game at Miss State several years ago. I know LSU does not have any interest in Thurs night games at home, you would have to cancel school for the day and probably the Fri as well. Most work areas around LSU would probably have to shut down and traffic would be an absolute nightmare around Baton Rouge if they did that, a lot of fans would have trouble getting to the game and if they did contraflow it would mess up commuter's drive. The logistics prevent LSU from doing it at home. They did play Tenn on a Mon night but that was because of Hurricane Rita. The Thanksgiving Friday game has been a staple for awhile now but most businesses are closed that day and school is already out.
