Troy-FAU game moving to weekday?

If it is moving to a weekday, I would think TV is the only reason.  If this turns out to be for real then I guess I am taking a long weekend that week.  I was gonna travel down for that game anyway, now it will give me two more days there.  Either way I am definetly looking forward to this game.

If it makes ESPN or ESPN2 on Thursday night that would be good for the program even though attendance will be hurt by the move. Hopefully if it is nationally televised enough people will still attend to celebrate FAU's first ever nationally televised regular season game at home.

GO OWLS!!!

Wasn't the Oklahoma State game a few years back on ESPN2?

You are right, you got me. That game was actually fairly close even though Dolphin Stadium was empty with only 12,000 at the game.

GO OWLS!!!

One other issue that combats attendance and viewers: Recruiting.

Recruits eat it up

we also had the game vs one of the UL's that we lost 6-0.

If the game is on thursday its because its on ESPN/2. it does kill the game day scene but its better for the program. Plus i think the attendance will be solid this year after we those fat ass cows from texas.

Someone is anxious for game day, you couldn't even get out whatever word you were thinking of.

Thursday games are way better than Tuesday games IMHO but I do like to see football any day of the week, just not FAU.

How impressed will recruits be if they see empty stands and little excitement off the field?

yea I agree recrutis don't get impressed by watchign the fanfare.  But its the fact that they were on National TV that will impress them.
