Don't get why you're upset about a pretty decent Thursday night matchup getting a national broadcast.


I’m upset because that used to mean something… that’s a FS1 or ESPN2 game

SEC has been the best conference for a long time.

The Thursday opener in 2007 was LSU vs Miss St

A blowout

I don't see where tonight's matchup differs greatly. If anything, should be more competitive

It used to “mean something” because the number of games that could be televised was limited. What a bizarre thing to be upset about, goes to show someone will find something to be unhappy about, pretty pathetic really

Use to mean something? When was the last "big" Thursday night game on the opening week? Boise v. Oregon in 2009? Texas A&M vs. South Carolina in 2014? Ohio St. v Minnesota last year? Are any of those significantly better than Penn St. v. Purdue

Thursday night football hasn't really been a "thing" in college football for all that long, relatively speaking. And marquee Thursday night games on the opening weekend have NEVER been a thing.
