This is at the very top of my reasons for approving the USC and UCLA additions to the B10.No, make them come north late in the year. They won’t travel well and seeing a bunch of Florida kids play in -5 F temps like that Nebraska game a few years back would be fun.
Boarding a plane in sunny 82F Los Angeles on Thursday aternoon wearing tank tops and sandals..... landing in cold dark Minneapolis/Madison/Iowa City/Lansing a few hours later. Then later taking the field Saturday noon at Kinnick 15F w/ 15mph N wind and flurries.
Just packing the extra cold weather gear has got to be a depressing thought for most of those guys. I never thought I would ever say this but I hope there are alot of TV time outs and a few long replay reviews when the LA gents play here in Oct/Nov.
