Game Thread Orange & Blue Game

This is the best move ever. Billy is a genius. Can’t believe our coaches of the past never thought of this. Wow, I can’t possibly think of a better move. All hail Billy!

(Am I doing it right?)

Wasn’t the decision last year due to a huge recruiting weekend?

 

[oxrageous]

All I can say it's that it's obvious Billy did this deliberately to hurt the program to its max. He looked at the calendar and picked the one day and time that he thought was the worst.

While I do not like it on Thursday, the University has more students in attendance for Thursday events than they do for Saturday. Overall attendance will be down as less traveling/working fans will choose to attend.

So are you saying that this Elite University cares more about getting students to a "Football Spring Game" (term used loosely), than they do about getting students to a regular season game? They don't go to either.

It’s all about getting recruits to visit, and it’s on the week after Easter, a spring break time for most high schools.

Stricklin is still useless as tits on a boar hog, that will never change regardless of when this scrimmage is played.

I'm saying CBN wants to present the "college experience" to his recruits and a slew of hard body 20 year olds does that better than fanny packs and mom jeans.

Me and my jeans were at last year's Thursday night game, and that place was relatively dead.

I also carried my dad-bod there and agree there were less people but a younger vibe and atmosphere was noticeable.

Thursday is the new woke Saturday...

maybe the staff figured that playing on a Thursday would be a good fit with a season schedule of noon starts on SEC Alternate ...

I say we move it to February for wokeness sake

Last year was Easter weekend.

But after all those Sutter Home minis you had stashed away in your fanny pack, do you really think you were in the best position to judge? The place was lit and super hip.

Yes he did

Thursday? Well that sounds great to me. Probably will make that game. I hate weekend shttt when all the rest of you youngsters are off work and crowding up the entertaiment venues...........I remember an orange and blue game with Doug Dickey coaching. We snuck in the old President's box and he kindly mentioned we needed to move down with the rest of the non-gentry crowd.

Terrific story. Thursday sucks.
