If you are ill, stay away from "Dr Saturday"

In the attached article, Yahoo Sport's Frank Schwab, reports that ND's AD Swarbrick denies plans to play UConn in Fenway Park in 2014. But he goes on to extoll the value of such a game in this venue.

Then he goes on to recommend games in Pittsburgh's PNC Park (Pirates) and Camden Yards (Orioles).

That last idea is so stunningly stupid that I almost can't believe anyone would suggest it. Why would anyone in their right mind play a football game in Camden Yards while Ravens Stadium is across the parking lot? Pittburgh's PNC park is but a couple of blocks from Heinz Field.

Keep this in mind, the next time one of these columnists starts talking about the complicated subject of conference expansion. It's all headline and no substance. These guys don't have an inkling about how these University President's think or what is considered by conferences. That's why these columnists have suggested Rutgers repeatedly, while the conference's choose Pitt and SU and Nebraska.

Terrible. The only reason Fenway makes sense is because it's in the middle of the city, while Foxboro is about 25 miles southwest.

PNC, Camden Yards? As you say, with a pro stadium a rock's throw away?

We're not far from them suggesting a game at Madison Square Garden on a 50 yard field.

May be the only way to get NYC fans and alumni to watch a Syracuse football game in person...

What I find truly sad is that the writer gets a paycheck for such nonsense.

Maybe we can schedule our first game against Miami at the Alliance Bank Stadium, that would be something to talk about.

We blew it! Coulda/shoulda scheduled the USC game there.
