UL’s trip to Marshall on Wednesday, Oct. 12, is its lone midweek game this season as opposed to the four it played in 2021.

Hey, we're down from four midweek games in 2021 to three in 2022! (Same number as 2019. 2020 had a couple Friday night games, but was also weird with COVID and less overall games.)

Get used to it. The mothership needs the sunbelt and Mac for its week night viewing. Oh well, it leaves some weekends open for weddings.lol

Technically Thursdays aren’t considered mid week. They are the kick off to the college football weekend. But they sure do feel like mid week.

I placed a nice correction on his Advertiser Facebook page. Reminded him that there are 2 mid week games on the road.

I could care about only mid week games screwing our fans, but mid week games on the road also impacts Saturday available for home games.
