I went to the Rutgers game in 2017. I was there to see Jake Browning almost murdered on the first play from scrimmage.
Getting to the gayme was interesting from NYC, and not nearly as smooth as anticipated. Granted it was a Friday night on a holiday weekend (Penn Station was a zoo), but still. Getting back to where I was staying in Brooklyn took 2-3 hours, most of that waiting for the train / subway. The train ride isn't nearly as fast as you'd imagine.
The drive from the beach to Rutgers was nice and easy. I try to avoid the disease ridden crime tubes in NYC whenever possible.
You sound like a scared bitch.
Taking the subway around New York from spot to spot is ace.

I hope the B1G or the schools themselves will figure out a way to stay on the east coast or in the midwest on back to back weeks. Pretty basic solution to making the travel easier, giving TV the games they want and not impacting school. With UW always starting classes so late, seems like a no-brainer to do something like:
2024 At Penn State Sat 9/14 At Iowa Friday 9/20
example since neither one has a non-con game on those weekends, but would make more sense to pair 2 of PSU/Rutgers/Indiana if non-con games could be moved around. Puts games in the Friday slot that is going to have to be filled.
I hadn't realized that we've played Cuog and Quook the same number of times (114 as of today). Quook will leave Cuog behind unless Cuog agrees to keep playing annually.
Dan Raley sez we hosted both LA schools in the same season in 1985 and 1990. I didn't audit that.

No it’s not. I took the subway in LA sometimes for convenience and to skip traffic. It still sucks being around homeless crackheads.
It’s been awhile since I went to NY, but I imagine it’s somewhat similar.

I recommend staying in Newark or Camden. Both world class cities!

Well Newark is home to Prudential Financial’s HQs while Camden is the home to both Campbell Foods and Subaru of America.

I took the train around London and it was great. I doubt Los Angeles is any different than London.

Newark is the rudest city in America. It didn't really bother me, except when this girl was being a total cunt about my rental car reservation.

Bumping this shit because I was pissed at how we looked against the child rapists and now having lived out the season, was thinking "gee, it sure seems like Oregon hasn't had to fly as far as we have, but they're getting Maryland at home". I know I've said the schedules will be easier in the future, but that is largely because of how I evaluated based on the first post in this thread. But I wanted to see if we also had it extra tough in terms of travel on the year.
So I quickly built a database of the distances between each of the B1G schools to identify 1) total B1G travel miles and 2) travel miles of opponents. Couldn't find a text or easily formatted file with the entire B1G schedule so just did the west coast teams for now.
TLDR: We had it rough in 2024.
Total B1G miles traveled:
Washington: 16,552
opponents of Washington: 11,112
(this number is the distance of USC, UCLA, NW and Mich to Seattle and back)
That's a net "travel deficit" of 5440 miles. Still nearly 5K miles taking out the Oregon trip.
USC: 13,594
USC opponents: 15,362
USC with a 1768 surplus, which makes sense with both PSU and Rutgers visiting LA
UCLA:13,896
UCLA opponents: 11,256
net deficit of 2640; two cross country trips offset by the relatively short trip to Seattle
Oregon: 12,594
Oregon opponents: 16,876
4282 surplus for the Ducks.
It can't get much worse than 2024, since both the LA schools visited and we had 2 cross-country trips plus Indiana, but at the same time the 5 year rotation has us playing on the road twice at the following 4 schools: Rutgers, Maryland, Penn State and Indiana. The 3 longest trips and the 6th longest trip. Grrrrrrr.
This is all based on the primary major airport nearby or a local smaller airport. USC/UCLA both used LAX. Data from gcmap.com
