Would you be against OSU playing on a Thursday night?

Ohio State ever playing a game on a Thursday night?

never (during the season).

I see this happening a lot recently.

with smaller programs

Georgia Tech is a pretty good school and their playing tonight.

The ACC is probably 4th among bcs conferences... and they aren't in the upper tier of that conference.

It would never happen-OSU is too premier of a program. That said, I wouldn't mind having a Saturday where I can get stuff done instead of the mandatory Buckeye watching (having enjoyed it two days earlier).

 

[starBUCKS]

Isn't mostly ACC/ Big East? Besides that fact I feel it's usually second tier teams capitalizing on the national exposure and gameday hoopla of having ESPN.

I would not like this one bit. I wouldn't have anything to look forward to on Saturdays. I hope it never happens! It's a tradition to play on Saturdays!

Even the thought of a Thursday night tOSU game sickens me...

Ohio State dominates ratings and edges out virtually any program regardless of competition. Ohio State only plays football on Saturday, period.

Exactly. Teams play on Thursday and Friday to avoid playing at the same time as Ohio State. When you're a giant, you don't have to move.

When does a 900 lb. gorilla play football?

College football was meant to be played Saturday afternoon at 12 or 1 P.M. but television has taken care of that.

I think traditionally that most Buckeye fans would like to always see Ohio State on Saturday afternoons.

Until the bowl game, of course...

Didn't we play on a Thursday night against Wyoming back in '96 or so?

 

[martinss01]

I'm very much against. less time to prepair for the thurs game. have to pull the kids out of class for upwards of 3 to 4 days. i see nothing positive about thurs games. the only people who win in that scenario are the those broadcasting the games. hasn't college football and the athletes who play the game given enough to these sob's already? apparently not it seems *sigh*.

Thursday August 28, 1997.

I don't know the year...but yes we did, but it was one of those pre season "bowl" games that they use to do. I think it may have been the eddie robinson classic.
