UCF vs. USF should be on Sunny Saturday, not Black Friday

Running off at the typewriter. …

I absolutely get that TV networks run college football, and that’s the reason why the annual “War on I-4” rivalry game between UCF and USF has once again been moved to Black Friday. If ESPN wants the game to be played on the night of the day after Thanksgiving then, by gosh, that’s when it will be played.

Hopefully, UCF fans will embrace this Black Friday “tradition,” but, in my opinion, this goes against everything UCF is trying to build. The Knights’ biggest obstacle continues to be getting fans to actually buy tickets and show up for games.
