Most anticipated season in years and you have 2 months in between your Saturday home games. Just kill all momentum we are gonna gain from kicking Texas’ behind. Completely unacceptable.
    This right here.

    You don't grow your brand playing nobody in front of nobody on a Thursday night when every sports bar TV is on the NFL game.

    You grow your brand by beating Big-12 schools on the road. You grow your brand by capturing the younger generations on Saturdays at Cajun Field.

    We are ranked and getting national pub not because of the TV contract and this conference. We are ranked and getting national pub in spite of the TV contract and this conference.

    Dr. Maggard and UL cannot do anything about the issue of playing weeknight games. Therefore, there is no need to keep beating a dead horse (unless you just want to vent). We fans just need to do OUR PART and get to the games! We might not like it, but the benefits of winning big and the national exposure seem to be obvious.

    It was announced yesterday that a credit will be given to those the have already paid for a tailgating or RV spot of a $100 for the Thursday night game. That may not be enough to satisfying some supporters, but at least they are making the effort to rectify a situation that is not their fault.

    I will just wait until they offer $100 tailgating spots before the season because only 40% renew

    Everyone is right to be disappointed with the schedule. Its true, all FBS conferences have sold out the fans for TV monies. Oklahoma-Nebraska, playing for first time in years, are bellyaching/protesting loudly about being scheduled for 11 a.m. kick off instead of primetime. They have no more clout than we do on setting game times with the networks either. As long as we're winning we're obviously more attractive to the networks. Losing one home game to mid-week seems fair to ask. Shifting three to mid week for the networks is asking too much.

    This all strikes me that ESPN is like WalMart. They've done a lot of good in their 'space' over the years, but they still manage to leave a wake of collateral damage in their quest to dominate their space. Amazon on the same path. Its the golden rule at work... he who has the gold rules. So we're playing 3 mid week home games. We can take solace in winning the games and getting high ratings which may or may not cause us to repeat the cycle in future years.
