Not really. In my world, Black Saturday is also tomorrow. And next Saturday. And the one after that…

I can kind of see that actually. Thursday night games are not typically as well attended.as Saturday. Maybe that is part of the plan..get families up early for family weekend...long weekend in Boone..spend some money

Yeah family weekend Thursday game is confusing. Maybe trying to boost attendance for Thursday.

Probably should have been. Will all 5 of the 49er fans show up?

Probably. I mean their kids all go to App.

ODU Homecoming is on Fall Break. Gillin said the Sun Belt typically doesn't give App a home game on Fall Break weekend, but this couldn't be avoided.

Geez that crowd is going to be extra lame.

Is that right? Per University Calendar looks like Fall Break is Monday/Tuesday the 5th & 6th, so the weekend prior. The ODU game is on the 10th.

Good point. Gillin definitely said ODU was during Fall Break at the recent BOT meeting and that it would be a challenge.
