Troy-FAU game moving to weekday?

Jab,

Very true, didn't think about it that way.  I was just being selfish and thinking that a Friday night game would work out good for me (Three day weekend!).   As far as fans go, no matter what time or day it is we always have trouble getting people to go.  Maybe on a friday we could some type of happy hour beer special or something.  Oh yeah and maybe advertise the game a little.  If anything changes this year, I hope advertising gets better.  Well, we'll have to see what the final word is on this game when it gets closer, we will deal with it.  I know the Owl faithful will all be there no matter what.

That all depends on our record going into the Troy game….I promise if we are 3-1 before that game…people will be there.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

I just have one question…not arguing here, but consider this, if your surmise is true:

Why is ESPN contacting FAU?

"Folks-

ESPN has notified us that they wish to televise two conference games next year involving FAU. This provides another great opportunity for our University to be showcase to the nation. However, the new schedule does impact Parent’s Weekend & Homecoming. Attached is the revised schedule for your review.

Thanks,

Dexter LaMont"




i could be a little too rigid in what i said… i do know, however, the conference is the final decision on all television games… that i know for sure

btw, where is that revised schedule that dexter put in that email? you didn't post it
