Ball State on a Thursday night. I'm sure EVERYONE will be tuning in for that.  :dance:

So you are saying they WOULD tune in on Saturday night? Take a break from your hectic schedule. Be a Volunteer. Nobody else (other than Vol fans) will be watching. No matter what night.  :biggrin:

As far as TV viewers go, I think that there will be more on Thursday night. There will be less competition because there will be fewer attractive games on Thursday as compared to Saturday. Not that Saturday is loaded with great games but there are more.

Notre Dame/Ohio State, Georgia/Oregon, Cincinnati/Arkansas and Utah/Florida are all on Saturday.

I know it's tougher for people going to the game but I think that there will more TV viewers on Thursday.

Not that we have anything to say about it. The only voice that counted was Mr. $.  :biggrin:

As I always say, I love the Thursday night openers.  It means I won’t miss half the games on Saturday by attending Tennessee’s game.   :thumbup:

Those are some pretty decent opening matchups.

I remember last year on Thursday they had a couple of pretty good games on as well as ours...Ohio State game came on the same time as ours.

Thursday (and Friday) nights in the fall are for high school sports. So this Vol fan won't be watching.
