DMN: THSCA urging colleges to not compete with Texas high school football on Friday nights

[Mean Purple]

doesn't change that playing Friday nights is for mid-tiers...makes it even worse that we are playing Coug High on a Friday....

Playing on Friday nights screams mid-tier/mid major. Hate it, but it's true.

Been awhile but as I recall in the early GP daze we even played on a Tuesday night game once. Feel free to fill in the blanks of my hazy memory.

Used to be true. Now it's money driven.

I'm going to Wisconsin's opener on Friday night, after going to North Carolina- Minnesota on Thursday night.

Imagine having your panties twisted because there are 3 Div 1 games on Friday night.

 

[TopFrog]

I would rather play a Friday night game than a Saturday 11:30 game and melt.

Which is easily remedied by not scheduling day games in August and September.

That’s so 1965. Unfortunately.

Would rather it be them than one of our more marquee matchups. Then again it probably kills an otherwise doable road trip for atleast some of the UH faithful.

Preet sure USM and ECU were mid week (Tuesday or Wednesday) and also very cold in the upper deck. A few years later we played Louisville there on a Wednesday, was only time I skipped Criminal Procedure.

Wasn’t that Louisville game super super cold as well? I vaguely remember not going to any classes due to weather closure and they thought the game might not happen but it did.

I think it had rained hard right before the game and was cold as well.

I was actually referring to the game the next year up there. We got destroyed. Now that I remember the game before was also midweek. Don't remember which day.

If the coaches' association can pony up the money we will be paid by TV, we will be happy to play on Saturday.

 

[Horned Frog Country]

They might have a point if the UIL agreed to ban football games on Saturday.

 

[Wally the Frog]

The way we played last year we deserve to be knocked back a day, Start winning some ball games and the media guys will put us back in the prime tv slots.

Do the HS coaches really believe that TCU has that much say on its schedule?
