------- Notes ------

                        VPI

     The UVA game will be the Sat. after Thanksgiving this year, 
thanks to a quirk in the calendar (don't let it sneak up on you!).

     The Hokies have made another turf change, replacing TifSport Bermuda with 
Patriot Bermuda (http://www.roanoke.com/printer/printpage.aspx?arcID=67726).

     Bruce Smith may develop the old Red Lion Inn property 
(http://www.roanoke.com/printer/printpage.aspx?arcID=68395).

     The Roanoke Times says scout-team QB Grant Throckmorton (from Wytheville)
will be out until at least mid-October after breaking his right leg and tearing 
ligaments in his right knee in mid-July.


                       William & Mary 

     Installed FieldTurf at Zable Stadium (about $840,000).


                        Marshall

     The premiere of "We Are Marshall" (maybe at the old Keith-Albee Theater)
was scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 26th, to kick-off Homecoming weekend, but the 
latest word is that the release date has been moved to Dec. 22nd.  Who knows.

                        Concord

     Callaghan Stadium is also June O. Shott Field now after a donation 
that allowed for the installation of "Football Grass" artificial turf by 
Desso DLW, whose clients include the Steelers, Broncos, Eagles, Wyoming, 
Colorado, Colorado St. & Real Madrid.


                        Mid-South Conf.

     Ky. Wesleyan Col. has departed - West Va. Tech of Montgomery (Smithers) joins


                        non-BCS Bowls

     Only about 100 changes here.  I think the biggest one is that the NCAA has 
dropped the "minimum payout of $750,000" deal.  Therefore, the MPC Computers Bowl 
in Boise (home of the "Smurf Turf") now guarantees the teams (one of which will be 
the 8th pick from the ACC) just $250,000.


                        BCS Bowls

     Adds the "National Championship Game" a week after the "New Years Day" games.


                        ESPN

     It had to happen - Sunday NCAA football.  Boise State @ New Mexico State 
was moved to Sunday, Oct. 15 @ 8 p.m.  Expect some more.
