Season tickets are $60. Stop bitching about weeknight games.

My one year of season tickets was...well...a letdown. Guess I should be glad I won't have to go through that this year.

RE: New Football Schedule
Im not that smart.
Why is the Home Game vs EMU on Thursday 10/26 instead of Saturday.
Midweek supposed to start in November not October...

RE: New Football Schedule
That's brutal. So, our Saturday Home games are EIU and Homecomeing vs. Kent State. We get BC, but that's on a Friday. We have 5 weeknight games though. Kent isn't a great football team, and our "rivalry" game for the corn stalk is a weeknight, of course Toledo is a weeknight, WMU and CMU as well.
I wonder how many students will show up for BC since it's Labor Day Weekend, well the start of it. It's my 10th wedding anniversary, we got married on the field, so maybe I can convince her to go to the game. I get that the MAC wants that ESPN Money, but how can schools and AD's give up so many Saturday attendance and want to grow the fan base. With this crap, I think it's time for a change of leadership at the commissioner level, not just our AD.

RE: New Football Schedule
Hey you know that ESPN money shakes out to about $83,000 per school each year. That ought to pay to run the equipment truck to all the road games each year.
Plus look at all the exposure the league is getting.

The last five games during the week, this is the worst yet. I can't wait until ESPN goes out of business and we can have our weekends back.
