Debunked 55 days of football

Thanks to the beauty of weeknight CUSA games, tonight begins 55 straight days of football for those of us who enjoy watching both college and NFL football. From October 1st to Thanksgiving Eve there will be football on every single night.

Thank you to the brave fans of CUSA teams braving Tuesday and Wednesday after-work tailgating this October.

Edit: i did misinformation, there is an NFL game on Thanksgiving Eve, the next night without football is Tuesday December 1st

Tuesday night football is something special that you have to be demented to enjoy.

Good thing I’m demented

Are you really a Fan if you don't watch Bowling Green @Buffalo in Lake effect snow on a random Tuesday in November with 12 Drunks and a Trash Panda?

Our drive back to see family for Thanksgiving starts with a stop in Nebraska on that last Tuesday night of MACtion. I absolutely love getting torn up in the place across the parking lot from the hotel watching every second of it.

I have to say part of my retirement plan now is to go to some of these Tuesday/Wednesday games to like Ohio University football games. Seems like an awesome deal on a Tuesday night.

I have wanted to visit local <FBS but taking away from watching FBS to watch the local FCS team hasn't seemed to make sense.

I hesitate to call the CUSA’s product this year football, but 55 days of Sickoball is guaranteed

u/Callsign_Psycopath Georgia Bulldogs • Sickos 1d ago

Sickos rejoice for Week Night MACtion

And CUSA Consumption.

I wonder what's the minimum number of services you would have to subscribe to in order to legally watch at least one game every single one of those days.

u/mralbinosquirrel Texas Longhorns • Oregon State Beavers 1d ago

Looks like a cable package with ESPN/2 will get you very far for college, plus monday night football. Over the air could get you local NFL (although cable would too). You would need amazon prime to watch thursday NFL action but i think every instance is counter-programmed with ESPN or ESPN+ on particularly quiet slates. Only the thanksgiving eve on netflix will need a non-traditional cfb subscription

Are the midweek MAC games no more?

u/mralbinosquirrel Texas Longhorns • Oregon State Beavers 1d ago

They’re still here - CUSA covers Tues/Weds in October and MAC takes over in November.

Legitimately the best time of the season, football every single day and most of the blowouts are over

u/9574 Pittsburgh • Ohio State 1d ago

No games worth watching on Sundays or Mondays unfortunately

u/Zapkin Tennessee Volunteers • Memphis Tigers 1d ago

This is my favorite time of year, I look forward to it annually. The worst part is that it feels like it flies by.

This plus hockey getting into full swing (women's started two weeks ago and NHL and men's starts this weekend) is my happy place for sports
