Evidently Rutgers is playing the Spoiled Children in LA at 11PM,EST. Kind of a dick move they couldn't move it up to 8 or earlier. SC that desperate for a win against RUTGERS??? Sad really
I mean, I think part of the point of adding the West Coast teams was so there could be a big 10 game that kicks off at that time. So someone’s gonna have to catch those.

USC has nothing to do with the kickoff time of the game.  That's entirely the television partner's choice.  So it's the fault of the B1G League Office for signing a contract that allows it.
Well perhaps USC got so much home cooking for like 9 decades in the ROSE. Well then a caveat should have been inserted,specially if these two were vying for 1st place.The east coast team is getting jobbed it would be better to put them on at noon EST. Rather than dragg their asses into the next day back home

Complain to the B1G commissioner about it.  And to all of the member schools who allowed it to happen.  It has nothing to do with USC.

I don't see the point of complaining. Sometimes a team from the east will have to play a late night game out west. Sometimes a team from the west will have to play a "morning" i.e. 9 AM for their time zone) back east. 

Rarely do I think it'll happen for a ranked vs ranked matchup. But for all the "don't care" games, who cares?

Hey, Boston College-Virginia Tech.  Now that's the decent Big East Thursday night game of my youth

Was remembering this once Pitt-Syracuse kicked off last night. The old Big East haunting Thursday nights. Reminds me of my first salary job out of college. When a new CEO decided to move our Washington DC headquarters elsewhere, many of us took jobs in field offices on the rim. Once in a while enough of us would be working together at a certain field office, like in Portland, that it was like our Washington DC days again. That’s how some of these Thursday night games have felt like the lost Big East. Now how about a Thursday for Rutgers-West Virginia? Cincinnati-Louisville? 

And for all the references to “religious people” and “zealots” —

Well make sure you make a copy of this testament and send it to the Big Ten Commissioners don't want them faffing it up

BTW nice catch there CAT

Yup.  The B1G took the money with a big smile and an open palm-- these are the consequences.

I had some video conferences with one group in Japan and another in Germany.  It would be about 10 AM EST, for us.  Ha.  Suckers.
