It’s a 7:30 pm game on ABC. What’s the issue?

Not sure it bothers me either, we typically get the nooner in Athens

We’ve played the game on Friday before if I recall. Back in the 1980s?

GT-uga was on Thanksgiving day and on Friday in 1995, 1996 I believe as well.

Looks like a beautiful athens upset inbound!

ABC must think this is going to be a competitive game like last years game to put it on prime time Friday after Thanksgiving.

Probably at least partially influenced by SEC games going from CBS to ABC. A lot of games to fit in, particularly on a week when OOC games mean more games involving SEC teams.

Friday night in Athens? Should make for some interesting police reports & insurance claims for keyed cars & slashed tires, not to mention the Assault & Batterys + Drunk & Disorderlys. It's bad enough for day games. The Clarke County bail bondsmen will be very busy.

Nope. Not no how, not no way. NONBHN.

THWG!

The Friday after Thanksgiving is basically a weekend day for most folks anyway. Plus, beating UGA in a prime time slot would be really good for GT.

Not good for Georgia High School football playoffs, but no one has cared about that for a long time now.

This is the only downside I see. One NFL game that day at 3PM, so we'll have a national audience on ABC at 7:30PM.
