With only 5 home games I certainly hope no more than 2 fall during the week.
My weekend-working ass would LOVE a couple Thursday or Friday games!

I'm not a fan of the weeknight games if they're home games that I'll be attending. I do love them if they're road games, because that means I can catch them on TV. So I guess then I imagine our opponents' fans feel the same way.
The thing is when I go to a football game I like to have 4-6 hours of pregame tailgating That is not possible for weeknight games. Ideally I would schedule all of our games for 7 or 8 on Saturday nights, but I don't get to make the schedule, and I usually don't get a single game in that time slot. 6:00 is okay, but then you miss the end of the 3:30 games on TV. I'd like to tailgate for the noon & 3:30 games, then enter the stadium in time for a 7:30 game or so. I don't mind the colder weather either, because I expect the alcohol to artificially make me feel warmer by that time anyway

I agree with Hammb here, If were on the road, put us on TV. that way I have an extra excuse to head out to a bar for a couple hours. Any yeah, we need lots of time to tailgate. I have got a great new set of "BGSU" cornhole boards I can't wait to bring to games. plus if I am going to drive 4+ hrs I want to spend as much time in BG as possible, away from my parents house.
And yes drinking before a game is fun. but remember when it is really cold out drinking before a game may make you feel warmer for a bit, you are cooling down your core body temp. This has to do with circulation of blood and what not, but I won't dive into a science lesson today.

That's why Dayon's Den tailgates are proudly presented by:
If you are cold out there just head to the Scottish flag and I'll hook you up with some Hen... warms from the inside out!!!

Game that got cut short = apple
Michigan game questions = orange
Not much of a comparison

If Mother Nature brings all she has for Homecoming again this year, make sure to cut my g/f off after her fifth trip through the Hennessy line. That girl was a fish last year! Made me proud, though, thats for sure!

what you got against the south. Not that I am really southern or anything. Born in New York and grew up in Perrysburg, (thats just north of BG). I however, do think that a mighty fine liquid comes from KY.
