How about the season ends the week before Thanksgiving and we get some kind of freaking playoff?
Amen. It's pretty messed up that FBS football players don't get Thanksgiving break and have to play what for many is a meaningless game.
I'd love to see the season end the week before and let the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving be for 8 1st round games of a 16 team tournament (or 4 play-in games of a 12 team tournament).[/QUOTE]
No kidding. I love how if you bring something like that up with the BCS backers, they act like it would be impossible, but the FCS playoffs started over the Thanksgiving weekend???
I'd rather have a conference game to end the season and NCSU is the best choice for a yearly final-game rivalry.
I was discussing the same thing this week with my parents. I'd rather have a conference game to end the season and NCSU is the best choice for a yearly final-game rivalry.
Given how badly we crap the bed late in the season, I'm all for having more OOC games in November like this year and next. Imagine if we had played State and Florida State instead Notre Dame and Vandy in those spots. We need to frontload the conference schedule.
we used to have them as the last basketball game before the ACCT but it seems like Swofford put the kabosh on that recently.
As an out-of-state Wake fan, I'm fine with the Vandy game and "rivalry." Honestly, I know more people that went to Vandy than went to NC State. It feels a bit more like a rivalry when I get trash talk from friends.
-People will actually travel to this game
-Long time actual rival
-Meaningful (likely to determine something in the conference)
-We hate those guys (isn't that what a rivalry game is suppose to mean)
