Since we're rehashing...
The game was moved for more reasons than competing directly with the Clemson-Bama game (although, we would have played that night if it wasn't in town). Moving the game up to Thursday also allows us to start preseason practice earlier, which gives our players a head start in learning the new systems. And it gives us extra days of rest and practice before the ACC opener on the following Saturday.
What I don't understand with you out-of-towners is why you wouldn't take Thu/Fri off, come to the game and give yourselves a five day weekend? It's not like they're springing this on you in mid-August or something.
Ditto every thing this guy said. I know for its simply out of the question for some, but for others, its just one day out of the year. Take a couple of vac days and come in Wed nite/Thursday morning. Make an extended weekend of it.
It does suck having a non-tv, thursday opener, everyone agrees with this to some degree. However our guys need the extra practice offensively for when they go to BC and then to VT.
