    1st Game

    Saw where Kentucky has moved their first game from Saturday to Thursday to avoid conflict with the Kentucky Derby. Probably means we are staying on Saturday for the opener.

    Yep. I'm glad they announced something so I can fix my work schedule again. I wish MSU would stop lobbying for Thursday night games. Absolutely bush league at this point. It's like they think we're still MSU 2009.

    Yea I've never really understood our want to play on Thursday night. It gets you on national TV, but EVERY game is on national TV now. It just feels like you're sacrificing a lot to be able to play on Thursday. Because playing on Thursday generally means no one tailgates and no one stays after the game.

    If you're just going to the game and going straight back home then you're right Thursday night probably is better. But if you're wanting to tailgate before and after and go out to eat after then Thursday night isn't all its cracked up to be.

    But not when Mike Henig throws 7 interceptions.

    I figure we are going to get the shaft on 12:00 games this season just like last season. I figure the first game will be a 12:00 kick off.

    You just brought back bad memories.

    You guys don't need to sell short the fact that most spectators outside our conference are curious to watch Leach and the networks know this. It will help us get some better spots.

    6:00 game are more superior than both. And yet our fans don't mention that as a possibility.

    It's because we beat Florida in 1992 on a Thursday night and our administration thought it was the best idea ever.

    I think you are correct about that.

    I grew up in Montgomery, Al. When Henig went to MSU the Montgomery Country Club golf pro shop bought a bunch of MSU stuff. The pro thought sense Henig's entire family were members, it would all sell well.

    Most of my MSU stuff I have was given to me as a gift by my aunt who bought it from there at 75% off.

    Word I heard is he showed up day one acting like a rich jackass, and our line said nope, ain't blocking for you.

    Also because in 1992 it was about the only way we could get on TV other than the occasional 11AM JP game.

    This is true. And of course that was almost 30 years ago when it was a totally different landscape than it is now. I feel like our administration is stuck in a decade ago at this time.

    I did see a Twitter poll asking fans which helmet they liked best so maybe they'll actually do something the fans halfway like for a change.

    Thursday night games are awesome. I loved when the SEC used to have some throughout the season. It definitely beats playing New Mexico on a Saturday at 11.

    Nothing is more bush league than playing New Mexico at 11 AM on a Saturday.

    Or OR people prefer Thursday night to Saturday morning. Yes there's a chance we could play Saturday night but the odds aren't in our favor. So I hope we get a night game because 11 or 3 in September is hell.
