Quote:A 51-17 Toledo rout of Bowling Green 18 years ago would be of little historical consequence, but its placement on the calendar gives it relevance that resonates throughout college football each October and November. The Rockets' blowout win on that Wednesday night, Thanksgiving eve 2000, planted the seed for a phenomenon.

Interesting article but strongly disagree. Frigid weeknight football has decimated attendance and alumni engagement for low revenues to appeal to people who’ll never donate to your program. Now we have weeknight MAC games played on espn+, which could easily be played on Saturday. And classic rivalries like Toledo-BGSU should always be played on Saturday’s (drew 50% more on Saturday than last year’s weeknight game).
