Please let the Vandy pimp guy have just ONE MORE (and only one) day of glory.

 

[DanOregon]

Boise - UNLV might be the best game of the week.

Please let the Vandy pimp guy have just ONE MORE (and only one) day of glory.

If Vandy does beat Texas, I want the pimp guy driving a car with horns on it.

Boise - UNLV might be the best game of the week.

My nephew has a baseball tournament in Vegas next weekend and my brother is taking his boys to the game (they live outside of Boise). He tried getting me to go out there, but I have high school games on Friday and can't get out there until Saturday morning.

Piscataway flies to L.A. to play a B1G game.

Piscataway flies to L.A. to play a B1G game.

The other L.A. school came to Piscataway last weekend, so it only seems fair.
Has there been a tabulation on how Big Ten teams are doing on these long road trips to and from the West Coast? I'd say not great, but I know UCLA and Oregon both won coming east last week and Penn State and Minnesota won on the road in LA, so there might not be a lot to it.

 

[Songbird]

Can't wait for Boise State to be in the Vortex of Domination and watch them go back and forth to Gaineville.

Not only did UCLA do, it was a 9 a.m. PDT kickoff, the Bruins' second 9 a.m. PDT kickoff in three weeks.

If Vandy does beat Texas, I want the pimp guy driving a Cadillac with horns on it.

FIFY

 

[HanSenSE]

Not only did UCLA do, it was a 9 a.m. PDT kickoff, the Bruins' second 9 a.m. PDT kickoff in three weeks.

And an 11 p.m. EDT kickoff (8 PDT) on Friday.

Also, quickly going through it (conference games only):

Teams from EDT to PDT: Road teams are 2-3 (Indiana won at UCLA, Penn State won at USC)
Teams from CDT to PDT: Road teams are 1-2 (Minnesota won at UCLA)
Teams from PDT to EDT: Road teams are 2-4 (Oregon won at Purdue, UCLA won at Rutgers)
Teams from PDT to CDT: Road teams are 0-2
