hope drays aren't in  doing well

they play yankees at 115 pm on monday in ny

why would so many usf fans be for it and pitt fans be against it?

I don't think that USF fans are actually "for" the move, as most of us would probably prefer to be playing on Saturday night.  However, most of us just aren't against the move, since it provides exposure and cash.

I hope that thisn't taken wrong many of you have been more than gracious to me on another thread on this board.

While this means exposure to both schools and the new bigeast is great need, most Panther fans don't see a great emphasis on this game other than it's the season opener.

Notre Dame,Nebraska and WVU not necesarily in that order are the big ones. BC would follow(ACC thing) Syracuse,Rutgers, Temple ( BEast) UConn (baketball rivalry) USF  then Ohio and Furman.

Road trip is cool end of summer heat is not!!

Most realize that this would be tough road opener but not high on most Panthers got to go (just my opinion)

jj- interesting perspective

i would think there would be a big revenge factor

thanks for imput

sunday is good compromise

JJ - are you saying that pitt fans forgot the loss in 2001 and won't come to get their revenge, or is it that unimportant to them?

[Guest Jim Judy]

No !! But conference wins and high profile games weigh more heavily (in my opinion) with the Pitt fan base.

Nebraska-with their AD being from Pitt. national program attention & conference affliation.

N. Dame- speaks for itself plus revenge that is not three seasons removed.

WVU- "Backyard Brawl" says it all

Conference wins =conference championship=BCS=$$ + exposure.

When we become conference foes and a tradtion is established this game will move up.

Finally I think Pitt thinks bball more important than does USF,understand I'm not dissing the Bulls there is much potential for USF to become a major player in a short time.

they will roll with it

I find it hard to believe that smazza has a case scheduled for September already.  Fess up, smazza, you working one of those high falutin big name murder/pedophilia/drug/alcohol bigwig cases?

[smazza]

usfmike b- i have cases  set in 05 already

expert depos have to be taken on every case and those dates are hard to move

You know, that's one thing I don't think we'll ever have to worry about.
