Fixing the August problem

[Exit 4]

I have a solution to a problem that most of us have buried in our football subconscious; why isn't there daily CF in late August?!?

Well its hardly rocket science, but I propose that week zero in NCAA FBS needs to start off with a 10 night bonanza featuring a national game every night from the last Saturday before Labor Day weekend through Labor Day Monday. Of course we already have something close, but now I want to fill in the gap which is that Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before Labor Day so that its a complete 10 day stretch. Fill the gap with G5 games. Bill the entire thing as a the National 10 day kickoff period.

Make it happen in 2020. Give us daily red meat. We are starving here. Get it rolling before the NFL is up and running.

Thought this would have something to do with Arby’s

There's no fixing August. He's stuck in his ways!

I'm likely in the minority here, but I have 0 interest in watching any college football aside from UConn and maybe 1 other.

ESPN is out straight working to implement ESPN+ for the AAC and doesn't have the talent available to produce such a season opening extravaganza of football.

But that, in turn, provides a terrific opportunity for forward thinking, innovative, talented people to step into the breech, leave no stone unturned, grab the brass ring, and run with the ball to make it happen. My vote is with you and know you can do it!

That is a poop attitude. You sir need to do some soul searching. Come back to us after you binge Labor Day weekend football.

Counterpoint:

College football should only be played on Saturday’s

If that were the case we never would have had that great ESPN televised Thursday night game against Pitt where Tyler Palko had about 4 straight false start/delay of game penalties when backed up to the student section.

That was one of the loudest games the rent has ever had.

I pretty much only watch UConn and the night games. I do love Pac after dark though.

Yeah, that doesn't change my mind.

Don't fret though, it'll never happen.
