Season opener against Miami moved up 1 week; expect huge national audience

[Dunder]

Date of Gators, Miami football season opener in Orlando may be changed

 

[Dunder]

I like it. Showcase the Gators in the only game of the weekend!

 

[Musclepug]

Bring it!! Let everyone see the beatdown!

[NavetG8r]

Yay?

 

[Musclepug]

Wow, people are pissed... apparently lots of people are flying in for this one. Gonna take a hit on airfare

 

[BruceWayne]

So weird to try to change the date this late. Does this mean we'll have a bye week in-between scUM and the following game?

Yes, and we'd end up with three bye weeks. Kill me now.

 

[Swamp Queen]

Fvking stupid and pointless.

 

[Musclepug]

We probably were the only prime time game, on labor day weekend, wtf?

 

[t-gator]

This is a dumb idea

 

[MidwestChomp]

Miami should be fighting tooth and nail not have have their ass whooping highlighted.

On the other hand, you’ll have meaningful football to watch on a Saturday you wouldn’t have had before.

Yeah in August. No thanks man. I feel like 3 bye weeks would make me lose my freaking mind. It’s like getting your presents 3 days early.. sure it’s cool then but you’re gonna be salty as hell watching your brothers and sisters come Christmas Morning

So you don’t miss football in August? I do.

Couldn't whipping Miami in front of a much bigger TV audience be good for us? If we're the only game on, a hell of a lot more people are going to be tuning in.

 

[Renard904]

I don't mind either way. It's only a 2 hour drive for me. However, this would suck big time if you were flying in. It's not easy getting airlines to shift travel dates.

The only game not named Arizona at Hawaii.

Agreed. Especially after the long drought of NO college football. And those bye weeks allows us to check out our rivals without interuptions And who knows, it may help us with injuries at times.
