CinciX12 is a Xavier fan vball. He'll be quite pissed to hear you confuse him with the degenerate UC people like myself.

His comments were stupid though. Everyone is playing on Thursdays now-- even Texas and Notre Dame. Thursdays night games are the new big thing. ESPN obviously values it because you have Tirico, Fowler and Jesse Palmer in the booth. It's only when you get Rod Gilmore and Joe Testatore when you have to start worrying.

I hate Jesse Palmer. "Hey I played backup and was the Bachelor, listen to what I have to say"

exaclty. I can't believe there are so many freehuddlers that don't like playing on Thursday. Heck if I had my way we would kick off at 12:00 every Saturday. That is when I like them to play but whenever they play I will watch. Makes no difference to me.

Kind of funny, I remember a few OSU fans laughing at the Big East and other conferences for playing some of their games on thursdays and fridays.

Your Brother plays for Cincinnati? Thats pretty cool.

I like thursday games too, Hell I wish College football was on every day of the week. Doesn't really matter who's playing, much better to watch than the NFL.

I like it for a few reasons.

It's the home opener against a Conf USA team on Labor Day Weekend.
It's a season with 8 home games instead of 7
It's a cool way to kick off the season
It gives OSU 9 days for Miami

It's not like OSU is playing their biggest game of the season on Thurs October 21st or anything like that. I wouldn't be a fan of a Thursday night game mid-season, but creative ways to open the season are always fun.

Please refer to other posters in this very thread who opine Thursday nights are reserved for MAC schools and OSU is lowering itself.

I forgot I provoked everyone on this thread haha.

You guys didn't disappoint. Good work.

And Little Danny kinda maybe sort of stood up for me? I think it may have been he just didn't want me called a UC fan though. Which is certainly understandable. I would raise the average IQ over 5.
