Football Rutgers Football Season Opener Versus Ohio Moved To Thursday Night

Thursday night causes that? Guess you are down for the week rather than the long weekend?
Yeah, we always do the week before Labor Day because of camp/school scheduling. Last year we even cut it short and left the Saturday open specifically to make the opener. Then they moved the game and we were able to add the Saturday back on. We actually ended up watching the game from Asbury Park brewery which was a lot of fun.
Thursday: Rutgers sucks. People have work. Can’t have the game this day.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday: Rutgers sucks. This is NJ. We go down the shore for LDW. Can’t have the game these days.
Monday night: Rutgers sucks. People have work the next day. Can’t have the game this late in the day.
I’ll leave out “Afternoon? Rutgers sucks. It’s going to be scorching hot. Can’t have the game this early in the day.”
Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday: Rutgers sucks. This is NJ. We go down the shore for LDW. Can’t have the game these days.

I guess I don’t understand this. People from all over NJ and much farther attend RU football games. Why would someone at the shore for the week not be able to drive an hour to the game?
It's he price you pay when you're obligated to the media deal. Can't expect a big payout without some sacrifice.
Love the move so people have the weekend free!
Nice summary, lol.Thursday: Rutgers sucks. People have work. Can’t have the game this day.

Think you only missed, "12 pm kickoff, what about my 10-hr tailgate?!"
Anyone who doesn't take Thursday and Friday off isn't trying.
For LDW (or any early September game), again legit complaint.
But not for that particular reason.

Because, as some have already stated, it’s their week. Maybe they don’t get any other time than that. Maybe the group they’re with aren’t diehards for RU Football like we are.
And it’s not just the hour there and the hour back, it’s the 3+ while you’re there.
I get that. But when we are home on Labor Day weekend, it's pretty common that games get moved to Thursday or Friday nights. This is nothing new yet the board always gets upset about it.
and they also don't realize Rutgers had nothing to do with when the game is played. BTN decidesThursday: Rutgers sucks. People have work. Can’t have the game this day.

I'll repeat my comment from last year.
Rutgers needs to boycott the opening week of college football.
While the other 129 teams seem to make it work (noone else celebrates LDW like Rutgers fans apparently?), there just isn't a date and time that will satisfy the entire Rutgers football fanbase.
It's frankly negligence at this point by the AD to keep scheduling games for LDW.

the AD doesn't schedule when the games are played. The Big Ten and their TV partners doI'll repeat my comment from last year.

All of which is fine. So don't go. Watch on TV. Or not.
Life's full of decisions. Ain't no crying over "Beach vacation or football game."
Only if you're willing to pay the difference in TV money, then Rutgers should keep the game on Saturday.😂I'll repeat my comment from last year.

I don't think people understand the difficulties in scheduling games. You have windows to which games can be played and the availability of the opponents.
Like the basketball team.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
doesnt everybody know that New Jersey is so special, its the only state that celebrates Labor Day Weekend and there will be 5-10 posters coming into the thread to explain to you just whyI'll repeat my comment from last year.

Usually id be thrilled, but i’ll be in the magic city for the UCF opener
Pops has never seen the Bounce House, nor UCF’s campus and co-eds, so it’ll be a no-go for Team Smooth

Weren't you one of the posters who just complained about the day and time? And I quote: "Yuck."
Yeah I hate it. People do work for living and it effects 2 days...at least if it was Friday that's just a day
You left out all the location issues.. NYC, seacacus, etcThursday: Rutgers sucks. People have work. Can’t have the game this day.
