Late night drunk trivia!

Yeah, very spread out when it comes to the furthest distances in those conferences. They try to mitigate the travel with divisions, but that's not always carried out to reduce distances (i.e. Florida State being in the ACC Atlantic with BC (while Miami and GA Tech are in the Coastal)).

Is Iowa City like 4 days by plane to Ohio State and that’s why they only play them every 9 years?

Alaska is closer to Russia and Canada.

Miami is closer to Boston College than either Iowa school though. They're not flying to Burlington...

Nah, conference bigwigs don't want us embarrassing them and ruining their CFP hopes every year.

Gonzo, why can't some of the other Iowa posters be more like you?

Well there are some weird things when you start talking about distances especially when Texas is involved.
* El Paso, Texas is closer to San Diego (and the Pacific) than it is to Beaumont, Texas.
* Beaumont is closer to Jacksonville, Florida (and the Atlantic) than it is to El Paso.
* Perryton, Texas is less than 150 miles further from Canada than it is from Brownsville, Texas.

Lol, you might want to check with some of the others to see if they'd really want another racist hok troll like me infecting this place.

You mean realize how they messed up and have their offspring attend the correct school?

Texas is crazy big. I was looking at going to the Tech game, as there in a conference for work in Austin the following week. Fly in to DFW, drive to Lubbock, drive to Austin, drive back to DFW. Easy peasy, right?

DFW to Lubbock is 5 hours, Lubbock to Austin is 6, and then 4 back to Austin. Good lord. And haven't even talked about Houston or El Paso...

If the game is on the BTN the commentary want so much about the racism lawsuit coming up, the big 10 always sweeps away the ugly of the conference.
