    Don't forget the side trips to In-N-Out.

    Because you can't get a good burger or a sunset over water anywhere but LaLaLand. :cool:

    Just five miles from the stadium -- and two block north of Colorado Boulevard, so grab a double-double, animal-style, after the parade.

    B1G schedule for 2025 is out. I see Indiana is running back with another gauntlet non-con sked -- ODU, Kennesaw, Indiana State at home. Hey, they went 11-1 this year against a shite sked and easily got into the playoff, so why not? Hoosiers get Iowa, Oregon and Penn State on the road though.

    Only interesting non-con games I see are Michigan at Oklahoma, Illinois at Duke, Texas at Ohio State, UCLA at UNLV, USC at Notre Dame, Wisconsin at Alabama.

    Some real brave schedules here, just so I'm not picking only on IU. Penn State has Nevada, FIU and Villanova all at home. Maryland will attempt to navigate the FAU, Northern Illinois, Towson gauntlet. Outside of Notre Dame, USC welcomes Missouri State and Georgia Southern to L.A.

    We Indiana football fans have gone from "I hope we don't suck" in one year to "hey looks like we could go undefeated again at home in 2025."

    Don't make fun. UAB fans are going "Well. it looks like we can go 0-6 on the road again this season", and we haven't even looked at the schedule. Tennessee and UConn on the road for sure.

    @Cosmo
    You understand most college football schedules are not made out just months in advance, right? Some nonconference home and home games are already set for 2036 or later.

    Notre Dame basically has the ACC portion of its schedule set for the next decade.

    The Big 18 conference schedule was set last October through 2028.

    Once we get the super conferences in their own division, I suspect you might lose the FCS games. Then you'll have the super 48 or whatever play maybe eight games against each other before all of them then begin a 4- or 5-game playoff. That's what they want anyway, then no dealing with the occasionally Boise State or Cincinnati wrecking their event.

    Much like some Trumpers don't want any person of color in this country, the football super conferences don't want to share anything with the likes of the Mountain West, Sun Belt, MAC, etc.

    Yes, well aware of how schedules are made. Still want to make fun of some of them. I do recognize there was the stray occasion where a non-conference game turned into a conference game, leaving a scramble to fill that suddenly open spot.

    Jimbo Franklin made his bones by watering down Vanderbilt's schedule, then feasting on a down Georgia, Tennessee and Auburn.

    Oh, I know the other side very well. Hope your fortunes turn at some point.
