Per Canzano: UH vs Oregon State moved to Friday

Football

So is Oregon State a G5 now? I assume the CFP considers them as such.

43

Yep. They got demoted alongside Washington State

44

Yes, Oregon State is a G6ā€¦remember, PAC is now the 6th G Conference

Oregon State lost a lot of real good players who moved on because PAC no longer a major FB conference.

46

Yes, but we (Houston) still have 9 p5 games, so Iā€™m not worried about it.

47

We only got left for dead for 28 years, itā€™s really not that bad

48

P5 doesnā€™t exist anymoreā€¦

We do not have any P4 games, in our non conference schedule

There was a mass exodus of Oregon State players after they were demoted to G#

Look at their record, last year.

We should easily sweep our OoC games

if we are going to be on ESPN+ on a Saturday, we definitely should request all of the Prime time Thursday or Friday night cable TV spots we can get.

We need to grow our brand, Nationally

I was just reading that the Pac(1)2 has signed a deal to televise the WSU and OSU games on ESPN, CBS, and CW networks. The game against OSU will be on ESPN. So while itā€™s a Friday night game, at least itā€™s on ESPN and not ESPN+

And espn > cw

Cope. I would much rather the game be on a Saturday. Coogs are getting absolutely boned with the weeknight games and it wonā€™t change until we command the prime spots (Saturday evening/night) by winning and filling the stadium.

Iā€™d rather be ON TV on Friday night than on an app, on Saturday

Until that changesā€¦bring on the Friday night games!

Short sighted. Thursday/Friday night isnā€™t going to help attendance. So a national audience will see an empty stadium on tv. Cool, how is that different than a MAC school.

Filling the stadium is the first step. That means Saturday night games.

58

Iā€™ve been to plenty half empty Saturday night games also but have also been to many packed weeknight games (i.e. Louisville) so keep making assumptions that arenā€™t backed up with actual attendance.

We fill the stadium when people care to watch usā€¦not even having us on TV is a horrible thing to root for.

ESPN+ not only discourages our casual fansā€¦it takes out the national casual college football fan since it is buried on an app on a very busy football day/night

59

The entire game day experience suffers because of weeknight games. Tailgating? We were also playing #3 Louisville during the Herman years. That is not remotely close to the norm.

60

Agreed.

61

lolā€¦Have you been to most of our saturday games post Herman?

Do I need to post our attendance?

Hint: Itā€™s not the dayā€¦itā€™s the squad
