Duke is playing at Miami just 48 hours after hosting UNC. Was this a rescheduled game? Seems weird to have two games that close together. 

 

 

LOL.  Back in the day it was the norm in the Big 10.  Thursday and Saturday.  Then God created ESPN and things changed.

Bates and family will be featured on the next Journey just a heads up.

If my memory serves me right the games were on channel 4.

That brings back good memories.  The pre-BTN channel 4 days were some good times.  I remember having to rotate the big antenna outside at my parents' house to pick up those Saturday afternoon Big Ten slates but they were always fun.

Those were the good ole days. I remember trying to stay up late to watch the Benny Hill show.

You also had travel partners which made it easy to remember your schedule

It sounds like they aren't going to do anything in terms of scheduling and the 'randomness' of it.  Not sure why.  Personally I'm not a fan of 'locked' rivalries -- think it immediately turns into an advantage/disadvantage for a team to have a locked rival based on how good that team is.  I.e., if IU/Purdue are locked rivals and guaranteed to play each other twice/year, and Wisconsin/Minnesota are, then Wisky gets a big advantage in conference standings.

IMO, schedule should be based on balance as much as possible -- use the standings from the previous year.  I also don't like 20 games in conference and would prefer it cut to 18.

An 18 game conference schedule could be locked and balanced by even up the double games:

group 1:  teams that finished 1, 8, 9, and 16 the previous year.

group 2: teams that finished 2,7, 10, and 15 the previous year.

group 3:  teams that finished 3, 6, 11, and 14 the previous year.

group 4:  teams that finished 4, 5, 12, and 13 the previous year.

Each group plays everyone in their own group twice and all other teams once......OR 

each team in group 1 plays each team in group 4 twice and everyone else once and each team in group 2 plays each team in group 3 twice.  This would result in a 19 game conference schedule.

Good lord UNC, really! Would have preferred them to keep winning for our sake but really? Wake Forest?

TCU vs Kansas St should have to use alternate jerseys when they play. Way too much purple.

A semi kinda ok twist (but I only care today). 
Anaheim Cal hotel has the BTN channel. Hell the east coast Hiltons don’t have it.

The Big 1.o would never go for it but I’d be good with an EPL promotion and relegation style for shits and gigs.

Maryland takes the lead back from MSU with 12 minutes to play after behind behind by as many as 12 (maybe more).

IU win and pUKe loss? YES PLEASE!!!

[HoosierFan1994]

I think it's time UK and Cal divorce. I don't hate the guy like most do. But, he has peaked there. Losing to St. Peter's last year wasn't good. To me, that was the start of his downfall. He has a nice class coming in which probably keeps him there.
