The Wednesday Game- For us “more experienced” posters, who misses the first playoff game played on Wednesday afternoon?
Pros:
-In high school, there was such a buzz around the school on game day. Always appreciated the 1/2 day off of school and going to the game(s).
-Post college: it was always great taking the day off and hitting 2 or 3 games that day, with some fun stops in between.
Cons:
-The tight turn around from Saturday to Wednesday… and if you won the Wednesday game… it was brutal to go from Wednesday to Saturday. Incredibly hard on the staff, administration, parent clubs etc. Some of the stories of trying to get film on a team are legendary.
-Physically on the players, it was insane.
Having said all that, from a football junkie perspective, I miss it like crazy.
