I’m sure some more games will be added to TV. The NC State seems like a good possibility.
There are two Friday night games on the road this year — Louisville and Rutgers.
It’s going to be interesting from a standpoint of getting people to the games. While 2 of 3 games to start the season are at home, the first is a 1-AA warm-up. The Buffalo trip seems a more than a little scary. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would do to interest and attendance if the Panthers blow that one.
Nonetheless, we have a very poor record on weeknight games — only win that I can remember in past several years was USF this year.
If you’re interested, please email me at silverpantherinnyc@hotmail.com. Leave your number and I will call. Cheers!
If Pederson is responsible for the Buffalo series, as well as the continued I-AA fiascoes, he may as well be fired, because he’s no less worthless than Long at his primary job, which is a good football schedule (and as bad as Long was. at least he secured the ND series, guaranteeing at least one home sellout every other year besides WVU).
Pederson’s return has been a real disappointment in that regard. I know the 12th game has made everyone work harder, but others such as Cuse and WVU has done far better (LSU, etc.). The only reason we have NCSt and Miami and VT coming up is because of the ACC lawsuit. Otherwise no doubt we’d be bringing in even more 1-AA and selling out to the MAC. I really thought Pederson would get out there and outhustle the others to get us some better opponents.
Of course the answer lies within the conference itself. ADD MEMPHIS ALREADY! NO MORE FRIGGIN’ YSU AND CITADELS!
