This isn't the ACC. Leave Thursday night games to the Louisvilles, Boston Colleges and Georgia Techs of the world. Thursday night games suck arse

Well next week you can watch Auburn @ KSU. the only way that works is an away game after an open date. Would have preferred it was played on Saturday.

Doesn't LSU play on Friday? Or is it on Thursday?

Can't remember if it's Thanksgiving Day or the day after


Exactly.

You can read, but can you understand?

Steelers vs. Ravens on the NFL network right now!

Are you guys so obtuse that you only recognize college football? Or just too tight to pony up for the NFL network? Which is it?

You do realize it's on CBS as well, don't you? They've only been hyping it on all their affiliated networks for about 6 weeks.

having an SEC Thursday night game every week would be a joke and mess up the schedule completely


They will eventually make each SEC team play one of their cupcakes on 1 Thursday per season.

frick that. Georgia doesn't do Thursday games unless it's a holiday. And we stopped those shenanigans too. Leave that garbage to the ACC, BIG 12, AAC, BYU vs some unfortunate soul.

Yeah let's compete against the NFL Thursday night games with uk, ole miss, miss state, USC, and Vandy. I'm sure ratings would be great.

So everyone is obtuse. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's also the reason you won't see meaningful college games on Thursday. They don't want conflict with the NFL.

It's just dumb. Season opener? That's fine. MSU, VU, UK or whatever wants some exposure? Let them go for it. Real teams don't play on Thursday though and it'd be dumb for the reasons everyone has stated to even make an effort to get more Thursday games.

At that point we may as well compete with the MAC for Tuesday and Wednesday games and the MWC and AAC for Friday.

Playing a game on a work day is a logistical nightmare for the larger venues and smaller college towns.

Ok defensive. I was literally only asking if they still played a Thursday or Friday game. I wasn't taking a shot at LSU.

We only start the season on Thursday night anymore. We used to do it during the season but not anymore.

I don't really watch the NFL much, of course I only watch a few college games anyway
