I would think FAMU just has to offer to end the game soon at this point. 77-0 and still over 3:30 left in the 3rd.

Is there any benefit for these games besides A&M getting a check? Hell Miami gonna lose money on this game with there poor attendance and concession sales.

With the additional conference games getting added, just cut these cupcake games out.

Felt like WVU played every week on Thursday in the 2000s

The Shield was not satisfied with owning Sunday all day and Monday night, they needed more.

I think this is more of a function of the bigger programs not wanting Thursday games as time wore on and the universities ( the school end) themselves not overly enthusiastic about it

I remember that.

It was a low scoring shite show of a game I believe.

That is so good. What game was that? One of the High Freeze/Bo Wallace games?

Papa John's Stadium was not a place that a visiting team wanted to find themselves on a Thursday night in the fall

Didn’t watch but the score says why. Pathetic that teams play these types of games.

We played Miss. State for an away opener in 2007 (national championship year) on Thursday night, August 30th.

Destroyed them 45-0.

Early 2000’s was the GOAT. I still think mid-majors would have no issue playing on Thursday night…..but now that every game is essentially on TV the allure isn’t quite the same. Frankly I’d love to see some D2 football aired on ESPN on Thursday night much like MACtion was back in the day. Football at that level is pretty entertaining to watch if you catch the right matchups.
