Kinda sux if UGA moved to Monday night. Traditionally


Jan 21, 2013, 5:21 PM

this game is played on Saturday the only exception being the 1982 one in Athens. Moving it to Monday night is all about TV not about the fans.

Clemson's fans travel good on Saturdays. They do not travel as well during the week because we are a blue collar school with fans who work for a living (farming, forestry, architecture, etc.) and also take their football seriously. The Orange Bowl was not well attended on Wednesday night. Unless you are playing in a city most Thursday night games are not well attended or even played at places not in an urban setting.

I really do not want the start of our football season, which could be so special this year, to start off where we have a large segment of Tiger fans who will not be able to come and make Death Valley as loud and intimidating as ever. Say no to Monday night and lets start this thing off with Game Day and a night kickoff on SATURDAY NIGHT. JMHO.

GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday night can be good for us too.

Sat night would be a split audience even if we are the best game on, its split. Monday night we would ahve all the attention. Holiday. I would love it. I can go to monday games. I am a pastor in s Ga. Cant go to late saturday night game before Sunday AM.

you summed it up. it isnt about the fans because they already have the ticket money. game crowd is an afterthought the way these bozos give tv free reign.

if some jerk at ESPN decides we must pay at 3 am on a tuesday guess what we'd have to do. bgger tv money makes this only worse

I hear you, but this was not a problem in 2007

when we opened up with FSU. I think that Tiger fans will come out and do whatever they have to do to be at this game. Plus being the only game on tv in front of the nation while we host Georgia would be huge for recruiting. I like it!

wont happen , in fact dont bring it up again . How do I know you may ask? Georgia has the Gamechickens the following week and a Monday game would put them on a short week for the SEC East opener.

I was reminded that we play SC State 5 days later but


Jan 21, 2013, 5:43 PM

UGA would have to play the Coots. I don't see them agreeing to just 5 days to get ready for one of their biggest conference matchups. Do you?

Jan 21, 2013, 5:50 PM

thats what I said wont happen UGA will not agree to a Monday night game especially the first game of the year followed by an SEC East rival.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This game will be a complete sellout even on Monday


Jan 21, 2013, 5:46 PM

night..Death Valley was completely full on Monday Night in 2007 vs. FSU. With Clemson being in the Top 10 perhaps to start next season,I miss your point entirely.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'd go and take Tuesday off!***

Who cares if it's Monday night or 3am on Wednesday......


Jan 21, 2013, 7:05 PM

It also hurts recruiting. HS players have practice on Monday and have to be in school Tuesday morning. Would limit visits to those targets only in the upstate. GA, FSU, GATech, we only have 3 atmosphere games for recruits. Would hate to see this game played on Monday.
