  1. Do you hear it spreading across college and NFL stadia?
  2. True. I didn't know I was that old. It was only 1 generation ago when college football, and a Cubs home game, was always played in the day time. Now some fans feel they are being treated unfairly because of 11am instead of noon. But no one when the PAC is playing football past midnight.
  3. I have to wait til 2028 Notre Dame Announces Schedule Changes to Arkansas Series (und.com)
  4. I've reached the point where I will not set the alarm clock for a groggy PAC time kickoff. This was unthinkable just a decade ago when my phone chirped at 5:45AM because the Irish opened in Dublin. Related: I will not attend an AM Fiesta Bowl in a domed Cardinals Stadium way out in the suburbs.
  5. ADs don't normally call out their media 'partners' publicly. This smells.
  6. Would it be Editors-Nazi? _ The reality is that we speak it as a single noun phrase as in that_Buckeye_over_there's Bush Lite spitoon. Whether we write it as one word, hyphenated, or two words is arbitrary.
  7. It's Walmart's. At least in the Midwest they speak as though Sam Walton has an office in the back room.
  8. PRobably some law from the Estate Generals.
  9. How many Buds Lite made you want to write this?
  10. Not all doormats are created equal. Compare stadium attendance of Miss State to Hoosiers to Boston Oliver College. While I don't want ND to join them, I like how the ACC games the system. They have filled the economy lot with mid size academics-first schools and have them field roughly .500 football teams. This ensures everyone gets a bare P5 media deal while the top dog will be in position for a playoff berth.
  11. Two conferences play only 8 conf games and they both have dominated in playoff appearances and national titles. Unrelated: their media $ is commensurate with their fanbases. It's not that complicated.
  12. They tried that when Mike Pence spoke at an ND graduation. They were out of mind as soon as out of sight.
  13. If UT was located on one of the populated coastal corridors it couldn't be the University of Texas.
  14. But did they really profit off of the move? The payout an FCS school gets for 1 blue blood bodybag visit likely dwarfs their media money.
  15. I remember a Saturday afternoon movie based on The Green Knight with Sean Connery. I loved the poem in school, but this movie butchered the ending. Did I imagine this film? I don't feel like checking.
  16. Regardless it was the wrong thing to do. He should have punched him.
  17. At the time the brawl happened I thought Miami's real embarrassment is people not know they played a school called "Florida International" Little did I know the body bag game was about to become an annual siesta.
  18. So tragic. I'm glad to read your community is resilient.
  19. Agree with all of those except 4 should be Catholics-Convicts. It's not often a rivalry takes on the dueling characters of the entire nation. I do miss marking the year by remembering how the Sparty game went.
  20. We should just call them something like Bowls in Name Only and bar them from the playoff porn. The choice of whether Fresno State stays home or plays a football game on Dec 21st has absolutely no relevance as to how ESPN determines a national champion, regardless of how the game is branded.
  21. Seriously? Hint: Golic, and his son, went to Notre Dame. The one college where they still kinda have anti-abortion sentiment on campus.
  22. I have never met an Irish Fan that claimed a title in 1970. A few smirk that ND cleared the path for what I believe was Nebraska's first natty. The loser of the bowl games usually mentions that before the mid-1970s they were considered commercial expositions that had little to do with extracurricular athletics or the national title. Now that the bowls are ingrained into college football's unique tradition, they should be separating them from the playoff, not pretending the two customs are compatible.
  23. But since that will never be a playoff game, it's not correct to compare the Muffler Bowl to the Cotton; instead treat the small bowls as an extra regular season game Thursday night on ESPNU.
  24. I get the feeling that she's cheating on me.
