Maybe even a 7:00 PM kick-off which may mean it will be on regional TV?

Per our Rice game at Fouts it is still a bit warm'ish & humid at 6:00 PM in early September. For this game most are not going to complain whenever the kick-off would be.

I still like UH as the marquee opponent because where UNT is now what marquee opponent is not going to be favored? And why would we get a lesser name school and worry about getting beat by them in our new stadium debut? :blink:

I voted for Saturday. I think with it being the opening of the stadium and having Houston as the opponent, we will be able to get it televised. Saturday will allow for a larger crowd, and I want to see the stadium full of loud Mean Green fans. I don't want it to look like SMU last night against TCU, where half the crowd is for the away team. I want Houston red in one small corner of the stadium. Lets send a message to the college football world, and possible recruits.

It doesn't matter if it's a 11am game on a monday , it's the 1st game in the new stadium. If fans really want to come they will show up.

There are other games that are also played on every thursday. ESPN would rather air teams that are good than air the worst team in the nation. Just because we get a new stadium doesn't mean we are going to start getting any new respect. Other teams have new stadiums as well. Our chances being on tv increase with the amount of wins not because we get a new stadium. See SMU , from 1-11 to a bowl winning season & they've already had 2 games on ESPN this season.

      Sell Out Next Week?

      I think everyone knows this. It doesn’t make the practice any less dumb. With everything being electronic nowadays they could easily announce the actual attendance. Last night was a jarring example. There weren't more than 22-23K. And what annoys me the most is because of the announced attendance, last night is officially the 5th best attended game in stadium history, which is total BS.

      Did we dump the 3-3-5 for good?

      I mean I’ve spent lots of time talking about this defense (which I do not love) but there aren’t too many gaps. The scheme accounts for gaps, but relies on excellent linebacker play to go along with excellent safety play. For me, it always comes down to the defensive line. In 2013, we ran a 4-3 base and Flusche et al generated pressure with that front four and it made the whole group very good. The next year with the same base we were leaky. The difference was the line. Reffett had a solid defense with Nate Brooks and Kemon Hall at corner and would bring LB blitzes (to make up for the lack of great line play) and it worked. The next year they struggled as the corners couldn’t man up and the pressure was late. Littell’s defenses post Reffet were awful until he lucked into the Murphy twins and upset top 25 UTSA. Mazin Richards helped him get enough to get to the title game the next year. Last year? Awful line play. This year? Better line play. It’s always about line play no matter how many you put out there. Get pressure on the QB or else you lose.

      What's at stake as Pac-12, Mountain West and American Athletic Conference plan their futures

      Memphis and Tulane are weighing their options of joining the Pac-12 or remaining in the American. Depending on who AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti can acquire, staying in their current conference might be the best option for the Tigers and/or the Green Wave. Pernetti is known to desire UNLV and Air Forcefrom what's left of the Mountain West. If the Falcons and Rebels jump to the AAC instead of the Pac-12 then all the sudden the AAC might look more desirable for Memphis and Tulane to stay put. Both Memphis and Tulane are desired by the Pac-12 for their consistency and recent success in football. Both are essentially top 50 TV markets, but Memphis brings a record of success in basketball and Tulane is attractive because it's in New Orleans. (Don't think that presidents and ADs haven't thought about fun weekends in N'awlins while watching their teams play. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/whats-at-stake-as-pac-12-mountain-west-and-american-athletic-conference-plan-their-futures/amp/

      Great Week 4 Uniform Video

      Never was a fan of the script, but I’ve got to admit, we looked GREAT. I like the all green more than I realized as well.
