Plus, the attendance for this game can't be counted for the seasons average I believe. I don't know the inside story but it's a shame this can't be coordinated better.
I'm not sure timing-wise Ohio could have done much better, at least for scheduling Dad's Weekend. It couldn't have been last weekend during Halloween. And having it Nov. 13th-15th isn't optimal either in that it would be less than two weeks before Thanksgiving break, and what Dad's going to travel to Athens when they're going to see their kid in two weeks anyway. It's too bad the basketball season itself didn't start earlier.
