This is not the first time they have played at Moo State on a Thursday night. The last time I remember was in 2007 and you know what happened at the end of the season.

Miss St is the home team and ESPN offered them the deal

I'm almost certain conference by-laws would prohibit an individual school from making that deal. It would have to go through conference officials.

A lot of people thought we were crazy for this year's schedule, but I kind of like it. I think it's HUGE for our program, and it is set up to keep the intensity going. Projecting fearless leadership instead of scheduling creampuffs for 3-4 weeks. It also helps in recruiting and $.

programs like State need a Thursday night game to gain relevance in college football.

Guess ESPN thought it would be a great SEC matchup and probably figured both would be undefeated. I can't believe any SEC school would open the season on the road against the worst team in the country

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



No.

Its more like how our game time gets dictated by the TV coverage (2:30 vs 7:00)

ESPN had rights, and they wanted that game for Thursday.

Actually the schools do have some say so on this. ESPN and SEC asked schools if they would consider a Thursday night game. Verge said LSU looked at schedule and agreed right away. Coming off a week against a weaker opponent, they thought it wouldn't be an issue for them. Plus it gives them 10 days for the road trip to WVU.

LSU didn't think Miss St would consider it coming directly off a physical Auburn game. Verge was surprised State agreed to it.
