Why Thursday Night Game?

Was there some conflict with a livestock-sex festival in Starkvegas on Saturday or something?
Seriously though, just wondering...such a horrible date for it.

Moo St wants the TV exposure.

only show in town and national exposure for the home team
Miss St is the home team and ESPN offered them the deal
they took it, and it's as simple as that

I kind of like it.
Fans across the country will be watching.
Plus it comes after Northwestern, which was good timing.

So the home team can decide what day to play on? Or did they propose it and LSU accepted it for the coverage?

national exposure? Is it that hard to understand?

ESPN wanted an SEC Thursday night matchup. I don't know who decided it would be LSU vs MSU but neither school had much of a say in the matter.

State is a suitcase college in a small Miss town. They'll have better student attendance on Thurs than they would on Sat. They jumped at ESPN's offer.

It is good for us beleive it or not, Atleast in the voters eyes and in the coaches poll. Most coaches obviously dont get to see other teams and just throw out a vote based on little info. This will have everyone watching us and see what and who we really are.
Only thing I hate is playing a team coming off a loss.

Everyone will get to see how annoying and "not allowed" cowbells the whole damn game

I see this as a good thing. MSU has learned to lose and accept their inferiority.

Mississippi State didn't initiate a Thursday night game. They were informed by the conference office they would be playing on a Thursday after ESPN made their request.
