Any truth to this rumor?

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Opening game will be moved to Thursday night? NC State has done the same. As we will play them the 2nd weekend. I've heard from 2 people our game vs Chattanooga will be moved to Thursday night.

Thursday night openers have a special place in my heart. My daughter was born on the morning of the App State game. I’ll always remember holding her and whispering profanity at Butch Jones.

I did one of those two things the day of the App State game.

Sounds like me during the 2004 Peach Bowl w my 2 day old, except Fulmer

It's a Sunday game to attract NFL players we hope to recruit. Especially 2nd and 3rd year players. Our NIL offers are that good.
My source?

I lived in Atlanta and acted so ugly that my girlfriend went to the car.

To me Wed, Thursday games always seem like teams crying out for recognition.
That ain't us.

 

[GAVol]

I’m on board with anything that guarantees a night game in August.

Stay away from her. Are you sick?

My psychiatrist says so, but I feel fine.

I think you can bet on it. NCSt moved their game so I suspect Tennessee will also.

Someone asked several months ago and I was thinking about that question this evening after seeing news of Colorado's season opener against North Dakota State being moved to Thursday. It looks like there's a lot of smoke regarding this move, and the last two Thursday night shifts (2022 and 2021) were announced mid-April and mid-May respectively so I hope we learn something soon though I don't quite understand the point in holding up the announcement.

Well, it's true it's a rumor from you.

Please, UT, you don't need any anymore gimmicks. Just play Saturday games like big boys do.

Thanks,

At this time, only 2 SEC games are moving to Thursday for an SEC Network doubleheader and both have already been announced.

ESPN is still in talks to move another SEC game to Thursday, but it will be an FBS opponent, which rules out Tennessee-Chattanooga. I believe it will be VT-Vandy, or Colorado State-Texas.

I did notice Missouri and Arkansas have moved to Thursday and they both play horrible teams if I remember right.

So in your mind playing on Thursday is a gimmick
