Friday Night Games

[goapps93]

College is every bit as much for learning and growing socially and emotionally, as it is academically. People go to college for a degree and the experience. Taking an afternoon off to socialize and support a team sport at that university is not going to inhibit either of those ultimate goals/achievements.

Many students don't have Friday classes anyway, and if they do, they are often over with early in the day.

Can't speak for the University, but for local government employees, if offices are closed due to inclement weather, they do not have to use any form of personal time off. I don't see why the university can't do something similar in this instance.

FYI- A direct quote from the Chancellor's mouth was: "That 30 second spot that runs during nationally televised games does more for App than any amount of advertising that we could afford to do."

So before we get so bent out of shape and think that cancelling classes all day or half a day is going to ruin App, think about the big picture for the University.

All good points but our game is on Thursday.
