Title: Re: I see we're playing on Wednesday this week. Post by: Creek Walker on February 26, 2019, 07:26:28 EST After the start of SEC play, Tennessee plays three Wednesday games.
Two of the three precede the Kentucky games. Title: Re: I see we're playing on Wednesday this week. Post by: volsboy on February 26, 2019, 10:39:51 EST It is what it is. Do I detect another excuse for losses coming on. These kids are 18-22 years old. I don't think one day is going to wear them out one way or another. If they don't like it they should get the Athletic Department to complain to the SEC. I think the fans have a bigger problem with it than the coaches or players do. Good try though.

Also, it would be one thing if they were both home games, but when one or borh are on the road, then you have to spend one of your two days of "rest" travelling. Big week in/week out advantage for the cayuts. Title: Re: I see we're playing on Wednesday this week.
