What is so hilarious about it? It's not like we just gave up ESPN2.

Like I posted before it's regional TV... at the same time at 2:30 in the day I guarantee people are watching ABC, NBC, ESPN, FSN, ESPN2...

We have other TV opportunities this season including ESPN2.

The loss of TV is a little bit of a knock but the benefits of an evening game are much more advantageous. I can almost guarantee we would have had a terrible, terrible turnout for a 2:30 MT game due to the memory and massive complaining about the ASU gameday. We'll recover a good bit having moved to 6pm, attendance-wise.

We did some damage with attendance, regardless, by having that experience (and endless whining) at the ASU game. Hopefully, some will not opt to vegetate at home and will come see this game.

I wonder what the complaints will be following the MT game. I guess we'll go back to parking, kids playing in the grass, loud PA, the band, dirty bathrooms, and all the other babyfied BS that a lot of you guys apparently wearing lace panties want us to hear about week in and week out. (oh, but if you are a nice looking girl (or working hard at it) or a mom... I sincerely care... really I do... about all the things in life that bother you... but all you foul smelling male maggots need to write a letter to the AD and/or put a lid on it). JMO

:hot::hot:Ok, so I am at work and do not have time to read through all the pages of responses, so what I have to say may have already been covered. This is BS! We are from South Louisiana and are going to complain about the heat! 15K for a team that went 6-6 and blown out by Ga is a pretty darn good attendance for the 1st home game IMO; I love my Cajuns but we are not at the capacity or level of an LSU etc to expect a sell out every game. Now the bigger issue is we lose the TV exposure. If you think getting 4 more hours of tailgate in and playing under the lights is worth losing TV coverage you are nuts! I would even dare to say the student section will have less in it because they will all be more intoxicated. My last issue is that we can change this but the University and its officials do nothing on the BIG issues that actually mean something. I am sorry but this just plum ____es me off. Regardless I will be there but I just could not keep my mouth shut on this one.:hot::hot:

Planes could crash so are your not gonna fly, you could get in a car wreck so are you not gonna drive, you could choke so are you not gonna eat? You could go on for days with could haves.

How would that effect game time? There have been multiple cases of players or coaches losing their lives or the lives of family members during the season and it didn't effect the game time.

If you or someone you know is at that age or has terrible health problems that the heat would have killed you, then you are the one's that need this T.V. game.....but oh well? We lost our TV game where these aforementioned people could have watched without being in harms way and now we could risk more people potentially dying at our football game next week. For those concerned...don't eat the spicy nuts they are potentially life threatening if you don't eat them correctly. I'm not sure if we should even play football anymore with all the health hazards. Bunch of fricken "Bubble Boys" huh?

Wow

Please...how many people watched the stAte-UL game on the Sun Belt Network last Saturday? People are acting like 15,000,000 people were watching that game. I'd be surprised if we had 100,000 watching and that's a stretch. And of that 100,000, I'd say 75% were fans of other Sun Belt schools tuning in to watch Sun Belt football.

Well I may be selfish but I like 6pm

I have to work for 2:30 games and can't make them.
