Every time we get duped into a weird day to play football or Orange and Blue game we get screwed by the networks... they make our game just another weird day football games with other games. These games seem to be unique at first only to be flooded with other games on that same weird night/day. I would rather we play on SATURDAYS/NIGHTS than be one of many on a weird off day with tons of other games. Give me Saturday/night football schedules... unless we are the ONLY GAME on some weird off night/day.
FWIW - After today, I will be posting an additional game thread for Friday, 6 for Saturday, Sunday's FSU/LSU game, and Monday's Clemson/Duke.
