It has to be fantasy football, right? I can't fathom any other reason to give a poo poo about Thursday NFL games unless you're actually a fan of whichever bad team is on display that evening.

I'm learning to dislike NFL in general as years go by.

Thing is that there's no reason to give a poo poo about a Thursday NCAA game unless you're a fan of those specific teams. And the NFL teams have bigger audiences than the NCAA teams.

The OP is wrong in that the UConn game was moved because of Irma. UConn didn't have priority for Saturday because NYCFC booked it first.

Clanga was great on Thursday nights.

The Thursday night NFL games have mostly been snoozers, too. They still draw better than the NCAA sadly. NFL fans are the worst.

I mean I don't disagree at all, but whew did you pick the wrong week to make this argument.

That Ram's Niners game? It was a blowout that most people turned off before the Rams defense collapsed and allowed it to get close. Two bad teams playing bad football.

That game was fun as hell and you're letting your NFL bias get in the way if you think differently.

e: Behold. A blowout that most people turned off before a defense collapsed, two bad teams playing bad football.

Wait does UVA have a tight end named Butts?? I'd be so happy about having a replacement in my life for Jake Butt if I wasn't also pretty certain this is the only time I'll watch Virginia football all year

Wow you're totally right. I just looked at our schedule... I think this is the first season in a looooong time where we DON'T have a Thursday game. Yet we do have a Friday game.

Boise State has looked pretty sluggish and uncoordinated in their previous games so this might be a down year for the boys in blue and orange

Rypien looked really good as a freshman and sophomore but has kinda sucked this year while dealing with an injury, I think that's the biggest reason Boise has been disappointing
