I don't like McDonalds. I used to as a kid. I'm not sure if the quality has gone down or if my tastes have changed over the years. Wendy's, BK, Subway, Hardees all have a better a fast food product.
But if I'm hungery and McD's is all that's available, I'll pay to get it. It doesn't hurt that it is available coast to coast either.
So if you stopped at Burger King (NHL) and paid a few billion dollars for a hamburger so bad you were still hungry, you'd then stop at McDonald's for an even lower quality hamburger (Big East) and pay a few billion more for that second hamburger.
If being Coast to Coast and in multiple time zones is so important why is the WAC so weak their entire conference left for Mountain West? If there is one thing that sports has taught us, nothing breeds rivalries like huge geographical distances. That's why Alabama/Auburn, Texas/Oklahoma and Ohio State/Michigan are such friendly games - they are way too close to each other. Nothing brings out the venom like Cincinnati and San Diego State. Isn't it telling that the best rivalries in the new league will probably be UConn/Rutgers and USF/UCF?
I know on Monday morning in the office I can't wait to talk to the Memphis and Houston fans about what happened in CUSA over the weekend.
