I figured they'd stick us with GS on Thursday yet again. Didn't know it would be in November to boot. Not exactly fan friendly. Then giving us an extra week off after the Thursday game is just weird.

Otherwise, looks fine.

Wonder if there's still a good chance the UGA game could be moved to Thursday night also? Seems like the Tennessee game was moved relatively late last year from Sat to Thurs due to ESPN. Seems like we're getting some press already drawing attention to that being a trap game for UGA since they travel to Notre Dame the next week.

Pure speculation, but I wonder if our reluctance (really more so Miami's) to move the game to Friday night rubbed ESPN the wrong way and they only gave us one weekday TV game? When in reality we'd prefer it that way for home games.

Doubt it - more likely due to the fact that we just don't have many appealing games for TV this year.

For perspective, the MAC released their football schedule this afternoon. The entire conference has ZERO Saturday games in the month of November.

Maybe so. The only one that doesn't make sense is 10/12 Texas State at UL Lafayette (ESPNU), could have been App @ Idaho (travel cost problem maybe).

I'm glad we do not have to play at Idaho on a short week. They will likely be be our best road opponent this season. That's on top of the 3,000 mile trip out to Moscow.

I agree with Saint 3333. This is the best possible schedule we could have asked for. If we beat Georgia, it could be a very special season! All of the strongest Sunbelt teams we have at home and the weakest Sunbelt teams we play on the road. The Wake Forest game will probably be a "pick" game and in all of the other 10 games we should be a double-digit favorite. Let's go get 'em!!

How is a Thursday night being a featured game? It's the opposite for me.
Because it will be featured on ESPN 1 the Uno instead of sharing 3:30 on a Saturday with most of the P5.
Sounds good, but I hate weekday games with a passion.

I believe the game is on U. Nonetheless, its still means likely only one or two other games going on at the same time.
Only one or two P5 games, but probably also an NFL game that will draw nearly all the football viewing public for that night. We usually have only a couple hundred thousand viewers or so for Thursday games.

This is touching. As a result I WILL buy season tickets this year, and any games I can not make the tickets and parking pass will be yours free of charge.
Thank you so much 09!! Go App!!

You seem to be a dedicated father. Best wishes and prayers, 84.
Thank you sir! I am not the best father but I will do whatever I can for my son. I have two older sons who I am extremely proud of in their own right but John is the world to me. Woe be to the one that does him wrong. Thank you again.

Hopefully the Savannah State game will be a night game
