August 30, 201115 yr Definitely! This year the game is on the 17th (which everyone knows), which also happens to be my son's birthday....AND WE HAVE TO BOTH GO TO A WEDDING THAT DAY! Who does that? Who plans a wedding on the day of the UL/UK football game?! And on top of that, they didn't get engaged all that long ago, and the groom is a UL fan. SMH
August 30, 201115 yr Author When it is game 1, the anticipation leading up to the game is so much better because it lasts basically all summer instead of 1 week. Plus it doesn't get burried on ESPNU or ESPN Classic
August 30, 201115 yr Not only do we miss all the hype to the UK - UL game not being Game 1.........we compound the error by opening on a Thursday at 9:15 at a place/time that few fans want to go. So much for building momentum to kick off the season!!
August 30, 201115 yr This year the game is on the 17th (which everyone knows), which also happens to be my son's birthday.... Mine too! And yes, I like it better when UK/UL open the season against each other.
August 30, 201115 yr I'm just glad football starts this Thursday, sure I wish it was UK vs UL but at this point I'm happy either way.
August 30, 201115 yr Not to mention it has absolutely killed UK's recruitingYou stole my thunder. :irked: At least UK will get the non-vanilla offense from UL. I always look forward to this game on opening weekend. But I also always hate watching an important game between two teams without any experience under their belts to work off the rust.

August 30, 201115 yr The U is up to about 75M households. Does Time Warner carry it as part of their basic package?
August 30, 201115 yr Author The U is up to about 75M households.My parents don't and neither do my inlaws. Guess who is hosting a UK/WKU party Thursday night.
