sullim4 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 If this happens, count on the Bills/Raiders game at 4:25 during week 4 to be moved to Saturday. That game is currently going head-to-head with KC/NE on CBS and is unlikely to see wide distribution at its current time. The NFL loves to show off new stadiums and the matchup isn't bad either.

DCOrange Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 It’s gonna suck not having college football but this makes sense. I don’t have much hope for the NFL or MLB either but we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talked last week and he had just talked to his old boss there. He was saying that the hard thing with it is the amateur nature of the players. If you are at Auburn (or wherever) on a biology scholarship and they deem the campus “unsafe for students” you’re at home. They can’t say that the campus isn’t safe for the biology student but is safe for Bo Nix. Apparently that’s a huge issue for the schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Perhaps we could finally get the Super Bowl played on Saturday?? That’s been a long overdue change imho. 10 hours ago, 1ManRaid said: As long as the Bills don't get the Saturday 8pm games, that's D&D night.

YoloinOhio Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 All the Captains. players and parents tweeting out the same statements and #wewanttoplay this weekend seems a lot like what was was happening down the stretch with the nflpa and NFL. In this case it is between the power 5 ADs and university presidents. I think they are trying to get the players who are Banding together and asking the Conferences for stuff to back down on their demands by threatening to shut down the fall season. I find it just a bit curious that Kevin Warren is reportedly preferring spring season when just a week ago gene smith said a spring season had barely been discussed. Because it’s a terrible idea from so many angles. Most of all student Health and safety which allegedly is the reason they are doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll watch college teams that I don’t care about way more often than NFL teams that I don’t care about. The games just mean more. With that being said, if the power 5 end up cancelling the NFL should definitely backfill those slots. There’s no reason to not have football all day Saturday. Wow. I'm the exact opposite of you. College Football too often looks like amateur hour to me. And the gap between the Elite and even very good teams to those beneath them makes College Football so predictable as to where the season will end. There's no sport I enjoy more than the NFL. I like Syracuse basketball, but can't watch much else. I will be so freaking excited if there are NFL games to watch 4 days of the week!

Yeah but this could be EVEN MORE national exposure. I'm especially interested as one who normally has to go to a bar to watch... especially in the middle of a Pandemic.

I’m not really sure why that warrants a “wow?” To each his own I guess. I live in SEC country and am an Ohio State fan so my college football experience is spent with the elite. There aren’t many/any sporting experiences that compare to a Saturday Night in Death Valley and I don’t even like LSU. The passion, crowd, and overall effort is unmatched. It’s the closest thing that the US has to European Soccer. Every game played by those teams could be the end of their chances. If you get sniped by Mississippi State, or Michigan State, or whomever, you’re cooked. There’s no margin for error. That drama makes Saturday infinitely more interesting. There’s no, “we will get them next week” after laying an egg vs. Miami. The Bills are my favorite team in sports. I prefer a Bills game over everything but I find the NFL just okay after that. I’m not excited about Seattle - SF on Sunday Night despite the fact that it may have playoff implications. The reality is that the loser of that game can still bounce back when it matters, in the playoffs. When LSU plays Alabama it’s winner take all for all intents and purposes.
