We just discussed that on here how USC always plays us @ home in October while we play @ the Coliseum after Thanksgiving.
Every time.
I suspect if we forced USC's hand they'd drop the rivalry as we need a California presence much more than they need one in Indiana.
You don't care because you've never really played the game.
This goes way beyond the cold sleet, snow and freezing rain.
A simple cool..not even cold
(cold to me starts at 32 degrees) But a rather cool breezy late fall/early winter contest with low or very low humidity. You have absolutely no idea because how you'd know just how slick that leather gets.
Ever try and have a catch with a big football on a day like that in the north? The ball is extremely slick. Now let's also add in the blustery game days in November along with the snow, sleet and or freezing rain games.
Meanwhile the SEC has absolutely positively the best climate year round for playing football. That's simply a fact and they absolutely positively will not play north the Mason Dixon line post Halloween.
That's NOT coincidence.
Alabama played Austin Peay...🤣🤣🤣🤣 on November 19th so there's a date they could've headed north.
In 2021 they played NM state 🤣🤣🤣🤣 on November 13th
Skipping weird covid year
In 2019 they played WCU😯😯😯😯 on Nov 23rd
2018 they played The Citadel on Nov 10th
They certainly have the opportunity now don't they.
Now about your little ND won't go there in September bullshit.
Allow me to present you with 9/21/2019
On that SEPTEMBER day we played IN Athens Georgia.
Imagine that...
You just don't really understand how much weather can impact a game, collective momentum of a team during a season...etc.
The extent of your experience with it is playing ncaa football on your Xbox on a brisk and breezy November day.
