My hope is to make the Wake game and I know we’ll make the first game for camping and tubing. After that I’m not sure.

Hate the lack of bday game in Boone for me this year (Halloween).

There are two positives to the back-to-back Wednesday games.
1. App will have a full week to prepare for GA Southern as opposed to a short week like in year's past.
2. It's almost a guarantee those games will be nationally televised on ESPN.

But that's it. Those are the only positives I can think of. So, on Oct. 7th the whole country will get to see 15,000 people in Kidd Brewer, and the next week they will see 7,000 people in Statesboro.
And GS has 11 days to prepare for us.....

Funny, my first reactions were

- Cool, finally a full week to prep for GS.
- A-State on a Saturday for Homecoming is a must-attend.
- Only one non-Saturday home game, about the best you can hope for given that we're the league's flagship program now.

Guess I need to work on my martyr complex if I want to remain a poster in good standing.

I've seen it mentioned several times by App fans that it's nice the team actually gets a week to prep for GS before traveling to the 'boro, however, the flip side is GS gets 11 days at home to prep for App.

All things considered, the schedule could be a lot worse. I really see no surprises.

I thought it was funny. I was expecting much worse for the App game clip.

They used a MIDI version of the Looney Tunes theme to avoid copyright issues and the length of the clips should be within the fair use act.

Air Force did a similar schedule announcement the other day.

How could they be a lot worse? A home Wednesday night game and a subsequent Wednesday night away game.
IMO the only way it could be worse is if the GSU game came on a short week, but they still have 4 more days to prepare than us.

Play the games on Saturday. Period. Mid week games are horrible. The main reason why they stink is that they generally kill off any game the prior or following Saturday (for Wednesday games). Are we the next MAC conference now?

If anyone is surprised by a mid-week game the season after you finish in the top 3 in the standings they aren't paying attention.

We are in a G5 conference, all of those conferences are contractually obligated to have 5-10 mid-week games. The SBC must have 2 Wednesday night games and 5 Thursday night ESPNU games.

If we don't get two of those games that likely means we had a bad season last year.

This is reality, the alternative is to:
1) drop down to FCS and never get exposure
2) raise about $6M a year via the Yosef Club to no longer rely upon TV for exposure and revenue

I'm all for #2, but until then stop complaining without offering a solution.

We could have all games on Saturday in prime time on national tv and some would still complain.

- No short weeks.
- Only one weeknight home game.
- A-State and Troy both on Saturday.

Although I prefer Tuesday/Wednesday games to Thursday, I get why people are mad about ULL being on Wednesday. But why are people upset about playing the following Wednesday at GS? Other than those who would have made the road trip on a Saturday, but we all know GS is on a weeknight by now anyway. We get a full week to prep for them (yes I know they get a long week, but I think it's a bigger deal for us) and then we get extra time for A-State.

Bingo. And the P5s play weeknight games too.

Nine of our games are on Saturday, including all but one home game. And this the year after we had by far the best season in Sun Belt history. Honestly, what were people expecting?

I know college football used to be exclusively on Saturdays and there are certainly benefits to that, but it's not 1985 anymore.

On top of what you said about the midweeks, i think the contract stipulates that beginning this year they have to show 10 sunbelt home games on either ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU, which is a bump up from previous years. Not surprised ESPN probably sees the easiest path to that is having App play on a couple Wednesdays.

Our 2018 schedule 3 straight home games in September and then one home game over the next 6 weeks - combine that with a Thanksgiving weekend home game to end the regular season. Much worse IMO.
