Thursday Night Home Games
Thursday Night Home Games
The late Larry Munson was a visionary when it came to television's effect on scheduling. The voice of the Georgia Bulldogs once said, "If TV told us to play at three in the morning then we would do it."
Munson said this before schools starting receiving $15 to

Re: Clemson has resisted Thursday night home games for years

Because of the disruption to students and fans. Finally had to give in to the conference and tv contacts.

... state without a doubt that Thursday night games create tremendous logistical problems for administration, staff, students, faculty, and security.

All that you have said are very true. My husband and I live in Columbia. We've had season tickets since we graduated. We have missed only 1 game in the last 4 years and that was due to the birth of our daughter. We both are having to take time off from work. Luckily we have friends who live in Clemson so we don't have to worry about hotels. My son, who has been going to games since he was a month old, will miss this game because I don't want him to miss school. We'll be there, but I definitely prefer Saturday games.

Mickey,
it is a game. Thursday night games are typically 1x per year. If you want to come to the game, make it happen.
You cry foul for the folks who whine about noon games, 3:30 games, night games, etc. etc.
Do not join that chorus of "I want it my way."
Get on board... all the way. Both feet in, facing forward.
No quakcing like a duck about when the game is played.
For those who cannot attend, so be it. Sell your tickets to a Clemson fan and watch on TV.
Just no bit@^ing.

when it is us playing them. Especially when it is a Thursday night HOME game for us. Since we have played two Thursday night games this year, it should give us about three years off from Thursday night games...I hope.

that are in school. You gotta take 1.5 days off work and get the kids out of school for 1.5 days.
With that said....WE'LL BE THERE!!!!

Might've been different b-4 FSU beatdown

I'm annoyed beyond belief that we have this Thursday night game. That said, we'll still be there. It's gonna cost 2 days of work X two people (Atlanta), but we just can't justify missing it. We made the decision to go before the FSU beatdown, but even after that, we want to show our unconditional support for this team. I expect the attendance to be way off. If we had beaten FSU, I think people would've griped, but I bet they would've come. I'm afraid the stands will be very sparsely populated and that is just not a good message to send to the television viewers. Oh well.
