The only change to the schedule I see is 492 going from a 400 to an 800. Most of the flights are oversold. 490 on the 29th is oversold by 31 but they are still selling seats on it. Looks like there might be some upset fans missing their flights.
Go Dawgs!

I'm surprised Shannon got fired. Granted, I haven't been paying attention to the Miami Hurricanes that much lately. I know they are not world beaters any more but, like you said, Shannon did a fine job over there.
Addressing Mookie's question about player graduation rate, I don't know what it was under Don James. I think it was decent.
I can speak with 100% certainty about graduation rates under Neuheisel and Ty Willingham. Neuheisel's players had a higher graduation rate than Willingham. An article was published about 3 years ago about college football player graduation rates, and UW's dipped after Willingham took over. I was never a fan of Rick's, but he seemed to have a knack for getting the most out of his players at that time.
Willingham, on the other hand, is a loser both on and off the field. Anyway, sorry to digress into football discussion here.
Back to mergers & acquisitions...

Pressure is high for college coaches to perform and produce a winner, especially in a state like Florida. Just look at Urban Meyer and the toll his job took on him. I'm sure he was 10 times happier in Utah. It's a thankless job... having to keep 100 kids in check, keep boosters/administration/fans happy, recruit, develop, etc. Long days in the office. I like my job better. Sure, I don't make much, but I stay healthy and keep my sanity (for the most part).

The flights that are oversold on the 29th are oversold by the exact number of seats that will be made available by converting the aircraft to -800s or -900s.

Who's "we?" Were you wearing a helmet and pads for Nebraska the first time around? Just kidding...
I'm looking forward to the game. Yeah, Nebraska will probably win, but so be it. What I don't like is the two teams playing each other 3 times in a span of 12 months. That's just not right.

Like son, like father. There will come a day when ALK will have to run the numbers and have flights from Pullman to LAX-Pasadena
