I have to tell you that I have become really “cold” on moving to the Big 12…As much as I would like to change, I just don’t believe it is going to happen.

The rumors have become so damn ridiculous that it has become no longer fun to discuss.  If it happens it happens, but I am thinking more about ACC play.

I am more bothered by the 9 game schedule, playing on Friday nights than worrying about the Big12.

The friday night games are for Syracuse and BC. I doubt Clemson will play. One of the three is friday after thanksgiving when lots are played.

I hope you are correct, but even WVU played on Friday night.

I dont have the quote but an ESPN rep said the Friday games were for a test and Syracuse and BC actually wanted them for exposure. The ACC said nobody would be forced to play on Friday as I imagine the Southern schools were opposed.

Frankly, the schools that have no real competitive chance like a BC type program should not be playing at choice times unless they are playing a school like Clemson, FSU,VT and yes..even UNC.  If they do that I don’t think many will mind

Pretty sure if Duke/BC are playing on friday night, people might flip the channel thinking its Highschool

This is the last season you will need to be concerned about it.

It is not heaven on earth and angels are not running the show. Logic is your friend. We cannot all be students of logic but we should at least strive to be a casual fan. GMOs are banned in 50 countries, we cannot even get them labeled as we continue to dance with the elephant in the room. With each new dog and pony show we dance the dance like we were the homecoming queen.
