K-State 2014 season wins

Over 7.5 (+130)
Under 7.5 (-150)


Well that's the easiest money I've ever seen for the taking.

Cancelled my Thursday night room a few days ago thinking it wasn't happening.  Looks like I'm crashing at a friend's

The fan butthurt over the Thursday announcement has been extremely entertaining, IMO.

That stadium is going to be packed for the Thursday night game.  There is zero negative coming from playing a high profile game on Thursday night.  None.  Anyone who says otherwise is not a K-State fan, and is being selfish.

College Gameday is a little bit more high profile than a Thursday night game, Pete.

Thursday night butthurt is absolutely warranted.  It's ridiculous and unnecessary.

I wonder what ESPN would have done if K-State said no thanks to Thursday. Its not like ESPN wouldn't have selected the game anyway. I'm just interested in how that negotiation went and if Currie was the driving force for Thursday & if the possibility of gameday went into the decision making process.

Yes, did you? His listed justification for Thursday has nothing to do with any of the questions I asked.

The pissed off other conference members would have been a bunch bigger issue to deal with than ESPN if we would have tried to say no.  I don't think they/the conference office would have even let it get to the point where we were directly telling ESPN no.

I was happy when BSAC announced this would be a Thursday night game and nothing's changed.

If this was the case, this Thursday night game being a formailty, I wonder why this took so long to make official. I'm pretty certain that this was the last game in the conference to be announced.

Currie said. “We are just waiting on ESPN. They certainly have a preference to move that game to Thursday night. It creates an extraordinary opportunity and it is part of our conference obligation in terms of our contract.

Damnit Bucket. For the second time in this thread, I read that. What I was asking was if the conference wanted us on Thursday and ESPN wanted us on Thursday why did it take 2 months and what seemed like half a dozen Currie reminders that the schedule is almost done? Whatever we'll never know so whatever.
