NCAA changes season start dates

I must admit I was skeptical above about any NCAA changes -

but - that was then, this is NOW

HEARTY KUDOS TO the NCAA for accomplishing what many thought impossible -
changing to a common START date, AND changing the WEATHER

here I am on Jan 12, 50 miles from the Canadian border, it's a beautiful 57 and SUNNY outside - just saw guys playing golf in shirt-sleeves and also several fishermen out on the reservoir

I may have to leave work early and mow my lawn

rz,
Nice post.
Hey , mine went north, for a florida boy he had some pretty cold days himself last year and the are starting up now. Plus they travel, even farther NORTH.
People ask, why would you leave here to play? It wasn't about the weather, it was about where he felt most comfortable, preferred a smaller school to our large universities and preferred the coaching staff.

I know it is south to some, but north to us

Ummm...If he went south, he'd be floating on a raft!!! And for what it's worth, it's "south" to many!

PS - Big roundball win last night!

Thanks Bee.....you've just jinxed us and it will probably be cloudy for the next 60 days or so.

Sorry, for millions of us, it's north

about 25 million plus.

In terms of "southern culture", TPM lives in the north!

Your more likely to hear Spanish, "Youuse gies" "New Yawk" or "Paak yaa caaah" than "y'all".

You preach it brother. Florida is such a melting pot. My children have to go north to Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama to learn about The South.

Florida is a great place to live, and is certainly a southern state. But make no mistake about it, very little about Florida is about The South.

Soxnole,
Now that is funny and oh so true.

Se habla espanol?

Also, don't forget we have all those CANADIANS that seem to invade us 6 months out of the year. So if you understand french, spanish, creole, brooklynese, bostonian and michiganish, you hit the jackpot (also can be found at the Seminole casinos).

My son never heard a southern y'all until he went to South Carolina.

I know Florida Hokie understands!

There is absolutely nothing south about south florida!

I was referring to your latitude not the culture.

You're SO far south that you live south of southern culture.

Golly, I don't know if I could afford that. My son had to live in an apartment just north of town.

Fungo, as far as I know the only thing North of Chicago is Wisconsin

For the record, this bit of foolishness will start in 2008. Not next year.

This is according to today's Tallahassee Democrat...which has been known to make a mistake now and then.

Was it discussed in Chicago at the ABCA Convention?
