I believe will do that!

My wife and I were strongly thinking about driving over to the game. Guess these free tickets won't help us any.

I guess I didn't realize the mid week games affected the schedule that much. One game a year mid week isn't bad, but, three of your home games can be an issue.

I don't believe we need to worry about Western being on ESPN mid week. I don't know, but, how many games does a MAC school play at mid week a season? It may only happen once a season if that much. Maybe a couple if the two teams are battling for conference division titles.

You make a good point.
