Week after week on Friday night this season college football has rolled out irrelevant match up after irrelevant match up. Why? Are you telling me you can't schedule one relevant college football game on Friday night the entire season?
I'm so sick of watching Utah vs Utah State and Toledo vs Kent State and tonight's match up of Cincinnati against Louisville. Nobody cares about these games. Friday night is not an NFL night, and now this late in October there's not even playoff baseball to compete with. I would rather watch The Big Bang Theory than watch Big East football between Cincinnati and Louisville.
How do you not make Friday night football a big time match up between two good teams? Why wouldn't you do this? Do you realize how big this would be? Imagine if you had Oklahoma against Notre Dame tonight with nothing else on. The rating would be through the roof because no one else is on. That would be the big time game of the week. Instead, you put it on Saturday with three other huge games and the viewers you get are the die hard fans of those teams. Why not put it solely on a national stage?
This is the one thing I have never and will never understand about college football. This country loves football, and they love relevant football. The NFL starts the week on Thursday night, why not make Friday and Saturday all about some big time college football games? Maybe there are thing I don't know about that go into this, but what I do know is that nobody is running to their television set to watch Cincinnati and Louisville tonight. Can we please get a relevant game on a Friday night just one time? Please, I just want to see it once before I die. That is all.
Sidenote: And while we're at it get me some hot cheerleaders to look at for fifteen seconds when the game comes back from the commercial break.
