I got a buddy who is a KU football season ticket holder. He has 2 tickets, but usually ends up having to go to games alone.
Well at least there is one fan in the stands.

Yep. You've got to get really cold before the passing game has a significant impact (frozen ball becomes harder). November is typically not yet "really cold" in the Midwest. Not like when the NFL is playing in Green Bay in January. Passing still generally operates in the NFL just fine mid-winter.
I think the idea of USC and UCLA struggling to operate their offense in the Midwest in November is likely overblown. Could there be a cold, windy, maybe even snowy game ahead for them? Sure. But could also be 55 degrees and sunny. It's not January -- not even December.
I agree wind (and even precipitation) is more of a threat to a passing game than temperatures.
This is a great post, but I would add that I don't think Dukes football program is respectable now that Cutcliffe retired. I think if the ACC gets poached and folda, Duke might be left without a power 5 chair.
I agree with all of this. I understand the Washington and Oregon arguments but the idea of completing the national footprint with Clemson, Miami and Florida’s state Before…..and I emphasize the before…..the SEC grabs them.
For what it’s worth we need to get Kansas out of the discussion as you stated.
I think Clemson, Miami and Florida State would prefer the SEC. If given the option, IMPO, they'll pick them over the B1G.
I'm just waiting to see which conference crosses the Mason-Dixon Line first.
A lot of Notre Dame people on Twitter think that Notre Dame should get a "sweetheart deal" to join the Big Ten. Like OSU and Michigan, or any other conference school, would agree to that. Their fan base is a lot like the Texas fan base. They think they're special and deserve more. Hopefully their administrators don't echo the fan base.
An example:
Maryland. A Union state, but a slave state south of the line. Few now think of Maryland as being part of the slave-holding south because they didn't succeed, but...
This is true. I drove across the Mason-Dixon line hundreds of times when I lived outside of Philly.
Maryland was technically a part of the Union, as you say. Which has me wondering, is every SEC school from a Confederate state and every Big Ten school Union? I think so. Granted, Nebraska wasn't yet a state... but had enough Union presence.
Anyhow, if those end up being the two conference super powers (seems likely), just interesting to see how they build from here.
Ah man, you quoted me before I fixed my spelling error.
