A fan contacted me today. Jess. Many of them said that they think it will bring new opportunities to the team if your soccer takes the field behind me on Friday, August 30th. But not everyone is on board. I have to sell tickets. OU football will kick off at Gaylord Memorial Stadium for the first time on Friday night in August, but fan opinion is a little divided. I was a little surprised. I think Friday night games will be interesting. I have great vibes and am a good person. Local, local business. Joshua Joseph is a high school soccer referee and says Fridays should be for kids. You know this is important for a lot of players as this is the first week of the season. It's their time to shine, and especially Friday nights. You know you get the notice, but one OU reporter said he agrees that college football should be played on Saturdays, but still thinks this is a good thing. The good news is that in recent years Oklahoma State has had a number of schools in Week 0 as the game was moved to Thursday night due to Labor Day. OU said in a release that this will provide an escape from the heat of the 11 a.m. game. Fans have had to endure the last few years. One fan agrees, saying he's been looking forward to the opening night games this weekend. This points to a future where kickoff times can be much better than in the past. I think the home schedule is probably one of the best on paper. Oklahoma State happened here in 10 years, so it was a unique start to the year that was really cool.Opening night kickoff is set for Frida's 6 p.m.
