I just noticed that this is Miami's 7th game this season, their 6th at home. The one away game was in Tallahassee vs FSU, so they haven't left Florida yet this season! Meanwhile, this will be Stanford's 8th game, our 5th away from home. Our closest away game is BYU.

Not that this is a new issue, but by the end of the regular season Miami will have 4 away games--only one will be outside the Eastern time zone (SMU so one hour earlier). Stanford has 6 away games and not a single one will be played in the Pacific time zone.

Yes, it's not fair. But we didn't want to be an independent, and we didn't want to join a conference with too many schools ending in "State." So we signed up for the ridiculous, mind-numbing, jaw-dropping, bad-for-athletes travel.
