Next year's MD game moved to Friday night....

Yum.

Is it true mathematicians use the Algorithm method of birth control?

if true, no matter how disciplined they make think they are, I suspect they would fail if they were practicing it with your sig pic.

No, we use something more along these lines.

I don’t know what network it will be on...... but none of them (at least not the ones listed) have shown - at least over the last couple years - markets that would provide more eyes than crappy Saturday slots.


I didn’t look up their ratings - but I would think it’s a bigger drop off for the IUs and Illinois’ of the world....... since a game w PSU/OSU/UMich is about the best chance any of then have to draw multi-million audiences, and moving to Friday kind of kiboshes that...... but I’ve never looked at what type of figures they draw over the course of a season.

Of course, it all comes down to $$$..... and if FS1 / ESPN(2) etc find that having a live program to run on a Friday night (instead of.... whatever the hell their other options would be), and are willing to pay for it - I can’t figure that’s gonna’ change.

You're correct. Regardless of the network, they'd rather have the game than whatever alternative garbage they'd show.

 

[interrobang]

Not true

They played one last year vs IU IIRC

When school wasn't in session.

 

[JR4PSU]

Why would we fight it?

More exposure, and timing works coming off a bye with an extra day to prepare for the following week.

Because Fridays are for HS football.

[Crusher1950]

Why do we keep putting up with this bullshit? It’s to get the hell out of the big. OSU and Michigan don’t have to play why should we? We just keep saying oh that’s fine we will play than. The big is “ the big 2” and the little 10. Why do we put up with this?

 

[Aardvark86]

No issues we went last year to the game there but Friday night with a nearby opponent sucks.

I have a hunch it will be worse on a Friday night.

 

[NoVa Lion]

I have a hunch it will be worse on a Friday night.

Maybe, but maybe there will be even more PSU fans and fewer MD fans than for a Saturday game. Wouldn;t surprise me.

Maryland can really use this as a showcase game for recruits in the DMV. Much like Pitt does.

For the money, einstein.

Friday nites are high school nites period. So what happens when OSU and Michigan tell them to stick it! What happens than?

I have sigs blocked on mobile. Is it safe to assume this discussion revolves around a complete and strictly convex set?

Yes.

The Algorethm.

It was misspelled but it stuck.

Ahia State. Michigan, and PSU have told the Big Ten they will host no Friday night home games. The Maryland game is away. And before you go off again half-cocked OSU has already played an away game on a Friday night.

Not if the recruits are playing themselves on Friday night.

Yes, How did Meatchicken and da O$U get to completely opt out of Friday games but we have to do them. Tell the big10 to eff off. We play on Saturday’s, period

While studying for my qualifying exams I'd work from 8-2 in an empty classroom on Saturdays and then mosey up Rte 1 to the Starlight. Remember how you'd have to drive downhill to the parking lot behind the bar? That was a nice bar, as skeevy as they come but the girls were nice and the draft was cheap.

Weren't the girls cheap too?

Compact, too.

In other words, Marylanders.

Fvck me. Frodo and Sam had an easier time getting into Mordor.

LOL!

No-cocked.

 

[Rollin Stone]

Someone needs to tell all those High Schools that play on Saturdays to “Knock it off” because Saturdays are for college football.

Let’s face it, if you have a close connection to a high school then you will go to that game on a Friday. If not you will watch PSU.

There are many big Football fans that do not go to HS games, why because they aren’t connected to those HSs or they just rather would rather do something else on a Friday night.

I’m a big Football fan, i don’t live in the same town that i went to HS in, so I’m not going to go to some random local HS where i live.

 

[michnittlion]

Great - more mediocre B1G football on a Friday night (Maryland exclusively filling the role of "mediocre" in this particular game). I can't wait!!!

If Jim Delaney were born 2000 years prior, the Chief Priests would have gotten off easy. To hell with having to give Judas THIRTY pieces of silver. Jim Delaney's price would have been THREE pieces of silver! That man is cheap!

Delaney should be ashamed of himself for selling out to TV, moving some B1G football to Friday nights.

 

[Wandering Spectator]

IiRC, the decision to host a Friday night game is solely on the home team. I could be wrong.

I would think the extra exposure would be good for games that might otherwise not see national TV, but any PSU game will get a slot.

I don’t know if all of Rutgers’ games were televised nationally last year, so a Friday night game against Indiana might give them more exposure.

Hosting PSU is almost a given for a slot, even if it’s noon.

Seems odd that a team would use a Friday night against PSU. Maybe because they know CJF is not a fan?

Regardless, Franklin will make the most of this when recruiting MD kids.

 

[LoyalandTrueLion]

Who doesn’t get FS1 in 2018 (that cares at all about sports)?

Ever look at ratings for friday night for TV in general?

More exposure. Seriously not a smart comment.

 

[BobPSU92]

Since the game is on a Friday night, please remember the following cheer:

"We've got spirit! Yes we do! We've got spirit! How about you?!"

 

[psugisher]

I like it for personal reasons.. skip work or work a half day and head down early afternoon. With it being late September, odds are good weather will be nice. Enjoy the day and the night football game. Get home and be able to enjoy a full college football Saturday. I enjoyed the visit the last time and plan on being there again next fall.

 

[Obliviax]

I heard @Midnighter is having a "Friday Night Lights" party at his place after the game. Any truth to that rumor?

 

[Sharkies]

Take off work Friday, drive down early, check into hotel and take over Looney’s like we did last time we were there!

This is my plan to a T, baby.
