Do you really believe that people in Ohio and Texas will not go to high school football when Seattle is playing Nashville?


A lot of people don’t go to high school football

Just give me 2 Monday night games. Start one game at 6/6:30. Other game starts at halftime of the first game.

Saturday is college football and Friday nights are when people go out.

What a dumb post.

Some of you may not know, but 15-20 years ago Thursday Night College football games on ESPN was wildly popular. It was mainly a chance for smaller school to be seen. Greedy NFL moved in on that time slot of course.


Those were some amazing games I looked forward to them every Thursday. Now we’re left with the worst of both. Horrible NFL games and college doesn’t even try

Whats dumber….

NFL playing on Thursdays

Or

Them requiring you to have Amazon Prime to watch them

They’ve made it very easy to skip all the Thursday games since the start of last season

I think you’re wrong. I think NFL and CFB have an agreement not to schedule against each other.

Again, the NFL doesn’t care about CFB schedules. A perfect example is Thursday night. ESPN has a good thing going on Thursdays until the NFL squeezed them out only a few years ago. Even FS1 was getting in on the action with some decent west Coast games on Thursday.

How is this a good example?

As for the NFL playing on Saturday nights, why would they intentionally hurt their own ratings?
