Thursday Night Games

[PittPanther5]

i have a question for everyone about the Thursday Night Game and scheduling. I have seen recently that the acc schedules a lot of Thursday and Friday games. Pitt typically does terrible with attendance on a Thursday and would never want to play Friday because of hig school football games. With this being said why do we play at home on a Thursday?

I hate these games, Pitt never seems to play well in them. I remember going to the Uconn game like 8 or so years ago that was a blowout... gee what a fond memory.

Thursday night games should be played by schools in which they are the only game in town. It is dumb to have BC, Pitt, GT, Miami, etc. host games on Th.

ACC is contracted to play so many a year. They've honored Pitt's request no Fri @home.
Not much they can do.

just for the record Pitt is now 4-13 in its last 17 ESPN Thursday nite games.

All things being equal, I thought the turnout was pretty good.

It's a good chance to play on the national stage. Sure got WVU and PSU twitter going which is strange because we mean nothing to either fan bases.
