So how did you guys like JAX State playing Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday during October?

I grew to like it, even though I never in a million years thought I would.
My one big criticism regarding the CUSA midweek games is that we should never, ever have two conference games competing directly against each other. That's self-defeating.
Put a game on early (7 p.m. eastern) and a second game on late (7 p.m. mountain). I know this will be tough sometimes, since we only have two teams in the Mountain time zone, but it's the way to go. At the very least, no two teams should ever be on the same night with the same kickoff time.
I'm hoping next season Jax State will get some better network exposure. ESPNU is fine, but I'd love an ESPN2 game or two.

I thought I would hate it but ended up liking it. It did cause me to miss some games in person, but I enjoyed having JSU football to watch in the middle of the week. It then freed up my Saturdays for other things. I think it was great exposure for us. I had many more people approaching me about JSU's season so I have to think that the casual football fan tuned in that wouldn't have otherwise.

The positives outweighed the negatives by a mile. For the road games, it was perfect.
I made one of the home games. It was a little rough going to work the next day, but I enjoyed it.
I actually liked having a few open Saturdays as well.
I imagine it was so positive because we mostly won. Not sure if I'd feel s good about it if I was a SHSU fan.

Working in media, I'm almost never off on the weekends. The midweek games gave me the chance to go to a home game for the first time since 2016. I'm a big fan. Hopefully, we land a few on ESPN2 next year. With how we've played this fall, I think the networks will want us in better spots.

I can't make it to Saturday 1 pm games so I got to go to two games and it was the first time since 2001. We had a blast and you wouldn't know it wasn't a Saturday.

Huge fan of the away weeknight games. I enjoy tailgating and being with friends for home games. Much harder to do that on weekdays.

I love it. Fewer distractions and your practically the only game on.
I prefer Tuesday to Wednesday.

My big criticism would be that we are missing an opportunity to have the Saturday game without having to complete with Bama this week. For TV, it worked well. I would have liked to see more games on The Deuce as well. Isn’t MACtion on the mother ship? Why can’t CUSA midweek games be on ESPN? Baseball playoffs maybe?

Good and Bad...
With Pat McCafee pumping our tires as "must see tv" in the media circles, it helped our exposure in year 1. And, the weekday games sure cut down my beer consumption.
I LOVE watching Saturday games in the fall, so I'm glad we're back to a more traditional schedule.
I'd vote in favor of them... max 3 weekday games would be my preference.
