I'm sure this has been discussed but

Are you a fan of the EB on Thanksgiving and would you be in favor of moving it to Thanksgiving for good?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I like it on Thanksgiving. My entire family are State fans so it makes it really special combining the two.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Not a fan of it on Thanksgiving as I rarely get to see both sets of my grandparents anymore. Wouldn't mind it being on Friday though.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Now that I have kids I have no desire for it to be on Thanksgiving.

Friday afternoon

Friday. As long as Gary and Verne are there.**

 

[57stratdawg]

I'm fine with Thanksgiving night.

Give people enough time to have lunch, then a couple hours to get to Starkville.

 

[ronpolk]

I'll still go if it's on thanksgiving but I'd much rather it not be on thanksgiving. I enjoy the day with my family.

 

[RocketDawg]

No, not on Thanksgiving. Half our fans, including me, have quite a distance to travel to the games. There's no way to have a normal Thanksgiving get-together and make it to the game. Even Friday after would be tough.

I'm guessing we live in the same city. You couldn't enjoy time with your family from 11-1, then make the 3 hour trip to Starkville for a 6pm kick off?

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

It ruins Thanksgiving plans for many of our fans. I don't like having to decide between football travels or family. Friday would be okay, but Saturday is best.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I'd love for it to be on Thanksgiving when we play in Oxford only.

I'm guessing we live in the same city. You couldn't enjoy time with your family from 11-1, then make the 3 hour trip to Starkville for a 6pm kick off?

But why limit what is probably one of a few days that your family actually gets together? Now that the nfl plays a night game, the thanksgiving college game is not as big of a deal.

 

[DreadNought.sixpack]

Family first for me. No need to try to cram a game in on top of Thanksgiving. Tailgating on Saturday works just fine.

 

[RocketDawg]

Sure, it's possible, but just two hours? That doesn't cut it. No reason to have it on Thanksgiving Day.

This year, we celebrated Thanksgiving with my son and his family at Lake Lanier. It would be impossible to do that, then drive all the way from Atlanta. And the big meal there is dinner ... probably wouldn't even get to watch it on television, let alone attend.
