So the practice fields for the two teams will be on the campuses of SMU (in Dallas) and TCU (in Fort Worth). The NFC will be at SMU and the AFC will be at TCU.
Kind of wish it had been the other way around. For starters, the football field is only a stone's throw from TCU's Greek area, and not sure that I want Big Ben traipsing around all those 18-22 year olds on my former campus.
In addition, I think it could have made for some interesting elements if those cheeseheads were required to canvas the TCU campus after so many of them made fun of it at the Rose Bowl. Yes, I was there, and yes, I heard all sorts of lame insults about the size of our school from those Badger fans. In their eyes, size = better and they told us so all the way until the, ahem, end of the game. Irony? Isn't Green Bay the smallest NFL city?
Oh, well. Maybe some of the Packer Nation will still find their way over to lovely Fort Worth. I have no doubt that the city and my school would welcome the opportunity to show them around, and in doing so would be nothing but gracious and hospitable.
Best of luck to both teams. I don't really have a dog in this fight.
