Spring Practice Underway in Pac-12

The Pac-12 is primed for another season and a new season at that. The Pac-12 added Colorado and Utah to join the conference this season, marking a new "Pac-10". It's not football season quite yet, but at least fans got a glimpse of football when Spring Practice started. Each team gets to a hold a "Spring Game" that showcases the team's talent against eachother. Some teams draw as many as 50,000 + fans just for these scrimmages! Just goes to show how cool college football really is!

Northwestern - Stanford Series To Start in 2019

Northwestern will play a four-game football series with Stanford beginning in 2019, the school announced Wednesday. Northwestern will host Stanford in 2019 and 2021 and play on the road in 2020 and 2022. Northwestern and Stanford have played six times, with their last meeting coming in 1994. Both of these schools are considered some of the strongest academically in the country, and have seen considerable rise in their football programs. Last season, Stanford lost only 1 game and was one of the best teams in the country. Northwestern has gotten significantly better as well.

Will Pac-10 Play on Sundays?

Earlier this week, the Pac-10 Commissioner threw out the possibility of the Pac-10 playing on Sundays if the NFL indeed has a lockout. Here is what the Comissioner said:

"We certainly are monitoring the situation. We have no plans in place at this time, but you want to be prepared and consider all options. Still, these labor situations have a way of getting done the closer they get to a critical situation."

What would you think if the Pac-10 decides to play on Sundays?

USC vs. Notre Dame Night Game

USC and Notre Dame have a longstanding rivalry against eachother. According to ESPN:

"Notre Dame and USC will play under the lights in 2011 with a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff for their Oct. 22 game, the schools announced Wednesday. " This is news breaking for a few reasons. It will be the first time the Fighting Irish have played a night game at Notre Dame Stadium in 21 years. Notre Dame and Michigan last played under the lights in 1990, with the top-ranked Irish slipping past the No. 4 Wolverines 28-24. I am looking forward to seeing this game under the lights at South Bend.
