Two nationally televised Thursday night games. I just hope the NFL has two crap games those nights since they play Thursday night games every week now.

8th nationally in capacity? Not gross numbers maybe, but in percentage of filled seats vs available seats? I guess I have to go research this lack of filling seats.

How does a potential preseason top 10 team have two Thursday games? What a joke.

Thursday games are normally for crappy teams that wouldn't be on tv if they played on Saturday in my opinion.

It the schedule we've all seen turns out to be accurate..

Thursday night in Raleigh really won't be too bad. We would just be playing back-to-back Thursday night games.
I am more likely to believe that other than the OOC games, the schedule we have all seen won't be even remotely close to what we actually get.
Aug 31 UGA Sept 7 SC State Sept 14 at Syracuse Sept 21 open date Sept 28 FSU Oct 5 at UVA Oct 12 Wake Forest Oct 19 at Maryland Oct 26 Boston College Nov 2 open date Nov 7 (Thurs) GT Nov 14 (Thurs) at NC State Nov 23 The Citadel Nov 30 at South Carolina

I like that schedule. It would negate any negative effects of two Thursday games having them back to back. Plus its set up well so we can prepare for our big games. UGA make me nervous because its hard to have team playing well on the first game of the season. It will probably be a blowout for whoever wins.

If this league had any sense whatsoever it would switch those FSU and NC State dates. It is ludicrous to have the marquee teams in the conference play each other that early and effectively eliminate one from NC discussion. That would put both Thursdays after an off week so no harm done.

It was already going to be tough enough to win in Raleigh, but now it's a Thursday night road game?! Home team has 80% winning pct in games played on thursdays vs a 53% winning percentage in games played on saturdays. Talk about a huge advantage.
