_ Yeah, I hate playing these cupcake, rent-a-wins like Open Date! It probably hurts our RPI, even if we win. _

Scott, where you been? Welcome back.

Could we have choosen the roasted pig option instead?

_ lol to everyone who things sun belt network is real tv.

quit kidding yourselves, no one besides the fans of the two schools involved watch ANYTHING on sun belt network.

its a great thing that they moved the game. period. looking forward to tailgating but not going in now! _

just curious, but do you even know how wide an area of the nation is covered by the network? do you have an idea of the total population covered in this area? do you know how many households the network reaches? just curious. also curious as to why you're "not going in now."

I'm over the moon that they did this! I'd rather have the attendance than the game on TV. Of course now it will be 80 degrees with 20 percent humidity. Haha

I am just confused............................

_____ing about SITTING in a stadium in the heat. Now the game is moved to 6 and everyone's all pumped up about tailgaiting ALL DAY before the game. What's the difference here???

Not going to speak for everyone, but I know at my tailgate spot we have a tree in the front corner of the spot which creates quite bit of shade when added with tailgate tents....we are pretty well covered from direct sunlight.

Did I mention how much I LOVE MY NEW TAILGATE SPOT??????? IT'S AWESOME!

I'll answer:

15 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS! Not to mention these games are also picked up on ESPN Gameplan and thus shown on ESPN3.com, to the REST OF THE COUNTRY!!!

On the other end of the argument...I kinda agree with him though. Who the hell watches these games? How many UL fans actually watch the other SBC Network games each week. I don't. I can't stand to watch ULM, UNT, etc. I can watch some other the other schools in the SBC, but a few of them.....NO WAY!

Also, let's say it is Saturday afternoon and the SBC Network game of the week is about to start. Are you going to watch it, the SEC game on CBS, ND on NBC, the slew of games on ESPN networks, or any of the other games on ESPN3.com? Sorry, ND versus Michigan or Ohio State vs. Michigan, or Auburn vs. Bama would have me watching. Not FAU and UNT.

How about the kids that are being recruited by us, that's who really matters.
