    This. 7pm is pretty much around the time each big NFL/ FBS game is played at. Ndsu is ESPNs darling of the FCS, if you think they didn’t get what is considered the prime spot you’re crazy. That said, I would be disappointed as well if I wasn’t able to catch the game due to it being on a Friday instead of Saturday. But a SDSU/ndsu semifinal on Friday night? This thing is probably going to set FCS playoffs tv ratings records. That, and with myself having the full day prior to tailgate, I’ll be in PRIME form.

      Yep, if it prevents someone from watching the game, they have a legitimate complaint.

      Considering how this board likes to talk about game attendance, this will probably prevent some people from traveling to the game.

      Scheduling matters, no matter when the game occurs.

        The game will be a sell out. I think ticket obscurity will be the biggest thing stopping our fans from making it. First sell out of the playoffs for them, guess they needed SDSU to help them sell out the dome

          I kept seeing this over the weekend when I was anxiously awaiting the announcement of the game time, but Maine already got the Friday night game last week. They get 8 days between games. SDSU and NDSU get 6 days between games... Either way the whole thing is TV ($$$) driven and 7:00 is primetime.

            Yes, I didn't mean to imply that NDSU would have problems with ticket sales. I do think the number of Jackrabbits researching heading north dropped considerably with the Friday night announcement.
