I think USF should play 1 or a maximum of 2 of these games. With only 1 being at home.As a fan I think it sucks having to negotiate going to games during the week. I can handle it once a year, but 3 times this year is ridiculous. Hopefully we wont have to do this for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for Tuesday and Wednesday night football!I just don't want USF to play more than 1 home and 1 away on off nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if "most people" Aren't watching football on a Friday night, it's still a lot more than would see us if we played Saturday night with no TV coverage. And of course, as an out-of-stater, TV's crucial for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it is great that they are nationally televised, but unless you are a fan of either team or die hard CFB fan, who is sitting around on a Friday watching college football?There would be so much more attention if we got to play on Saturdays on TV. I mean Sunday night against UConn. Everyone will be watching the NFL. Not to mention we will get no exposure on College Football Live for our biggest game of the year because it would have already taken place.I agree I would rather of had tonight's game on Saturday and also think that if it would had been on Saturday then Ray Jay would of been sold out very easy. 4 people that wanted to go but couldn't had to cancel on me for tonight's game, and I could barely make it myself.I think this has something to do with the Buc's schedule in some way, after all Sunday is their home opener and I bet they wanted us to play on Friday or Thursday so that the field is pristine for them.

And how does Rutgers get a Thursday game after a weekend off and we get 2 Thursday games following Saturday games? Just make all the games on Thursdays and give the kids a full week off. Cinci away on Thursday following Louisville away the previous Saturday is a recipe for disaster - whether the Cinci starting QB is back or not.
