as someone who lived in california for 10 years while in the marines, i enjoyed the fact that the friday game was 100% guaranteed to be televised.



Every game is 100% guaranteed to be televized

Because its a horrible day and time for a game. The stadium is like a ghost town.

College Football is meant for Saturdays.

Not Thanksgiving, or Black Friday.

change "college" to "LSU". i don't care what MAC schools want to hook it up during the week. i like the small conf mid week fare. but if we have to play on a fri, make it a fri night.

friday night is a decent compromise.

We have always griped about a 1:00 kickoff on the Friday after Thanksgiving.


This we need to push the issue and be forceful.

This day and age thats the only way to get things done.

Saturday is wayy better for this game.

I'm all go on a Friday game. I just absolutely oppose the idea of a thanksgiving game. Why do those weirdo's love playing on Thanksgiving?

The rub, at least for me, is that if LSU is expected to honor aTm's tradition of playing at home on Thanksgiving, they should have to face LSU Saturday night in Death Valley.

bc they don't have friends or family to share Thanksgiving with so they want everyone else to suffer.

OR

they live so far away they don't care about fans actually going to the game they just want LSU football on their tv when they want it.

Because half or more of the 100K going to the game don't live in Baton Rouge.


If they were true fans they would move to Baton Rouge.

Look, it is advantage aTm ifbtheybdont have to face our Sat night in TS crowd!

Sorry, but a 1 pm Fri game takes away from our home advantage, no matter how you slice it. WE GAIN NOTHING! They gain a lot.

Many people travel out of town, have relatives, take vacations, etc

frick em. Make aTm have Chavis' penalty paid to us at mid field during pregame, and I'll agree. But Chavis has to hand the check to Alleva himself!
