Without FBS our best hope for snagging a game like this would be both teams entering the FCS season pre-season Top 5, with one of us coming off a national championship. Even then, the best we would be hoping for would be a Fox SportSouth broadcast, or CSS, or something of the like. The only negative is that a Thursday evening game, especially one slated for the 'U, makes it a harder decision on whether or not to make the trip down to Statesboro. We had certainly planned on attending if the game were on Saturday. Of course, a Thursday night win at the stink might be a perfect segway into a long weekend at HHI or Jekyll.

We could at the price of sacrificing a Saturday gameday. That's how stink was able to get these. They're willing to forfeit their Saturday games for midweek TV gamesBoone Goon wrote:If GSU got 2 home ESPN games this year, do you think we get 2 next as part of the SunBelt negotiations?
Next years home schedule is more appealing to ESPN.
Amen. I don't care how many eyeballs are on TV on a Thursday night. Saturday football in Boone is king.bcoach wrote:I hope we don't give up a Saturday in Boone for a TV game.
That will be a tough transition for you. The difference between Statesboro and Hilton Head is like the difference between s--t and apple butter.SpeedkingATL wrote:Perfect time for a long golf weekend at Hilton Head and stop and see the game on the way. That can replace my Citadel/Wild Dunes golf weekend for this year.
I think you better go ahead and prepare to be disappointed, then. Midweek games are just part of the package of joining the Sun Belt.APPARJ wrote:Amen.

Lived on HHI for 8 years and have been to GaSo for ASU football numerous times. Just view the game as a great excuse to hit the links for a few days. Will do the same thing with South Alabama and the Trent Jones Golf Trail in Mobile in 2015.Appsolutley wrote:That will be a tough transition for you.

Not a good trade in my opinion but you are right we no longer control our schedule.EastHallApp wrote:I think you better go ahead and prepare to be disappointed, then.

I understand the downside because it will make it much less likely I'll be there in person as well. But, like the unpredictable kickoff times, it's just part of the tradeoff of moving up.
Just think of it like playoff scheduling year-round. It's the playoffs all the time.bcoach wrote:Not a good trade in my opinion but you are right we no longer control our schedule.EastHallApp wrote:I think you better go ahead and prepare to be disappointed, then.

Hard to top Wild Dunes, unless it's the Harbor Course!SpeedkingATL wrote:Perfect time for a long golf weekend at Hilton Head and stop and see the game on the way. That can replace my Citadel/Wild Dunes golf weekend for this year.
