You left out one important thing from the article:It was also announced that ESPN had expressed the possibility of moving the Tigers' game with South Florida from Saturday, November 27 to Friday, November 26. That decision will not be made until later in the season http://gotigersgo.collegesports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/042304aaa.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game day is game day...plain and simple. I bought the season tix and I'll be in my seats before kickoff. Just out of curiosity...what are some of the reasons why moving game days is such a traumatic event for some people? I'm not being a smart ass, I just have a tough time believing that for a sub-set of six nights of the year, it's that big of a deal.  8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks after ESPN expressed interest in moving South Florida's season opener against Pittsburgh from Sept. 4 to Labor Day, Sept. 6, the sides are interested in moving the Bulls' regular-season finale against Memphis from Nov. 27 to Nov. 26. The two ESPN games would give the Bulls valuable national exposure, but likely would hurt attendance. It also would give the Bulls a short preparation week for both games. USF will appear on ESPN/ESPN2 in a Friday night road game at Louisville on Oct. 22. Gregg Becnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe main way to do it is by playing on TV and winning. If we do not play on TV it will hurt us and our conference. The BE winner and representative to that BCS Bowl MUST be known nationally. If we do not take advantage of these tv apperances it will come back ti haunt us when we are the BE champ and most of the nation does not know us (it will hurt that bowls tv rating and it will comeback to hurt BE n USF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF must strive for balance between T.V. and attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
