Time for all our wise guys to take their questions directly to the man.

I sent a question about football scheduling and how much influence they had on causing us to play Mi St and Minne, which in turn forced us to move the Boise St came so we could have at least one gimme on the schedule.

Where will the answers be posted?

It says you can ask the AD. It doesn't say anything about answers. :)

He gave some good answers, I don't see the hardball questions coming out though.

Nope. It's a pretty cool column, but don't mistake a nice marketing idea for a real forum with the AD.

Has anyone asked a tough question yet?

And let's not confuse "mean-spirited" with "tough."

I think the scheduling questions are pretty tough and pointed. It wouldn't hurt to let the fan base know why they keep taking it in the rear for "the good of the Conference" with no reward in sight.

I like the general direction the Athletic department is going right now, but it wouldn't hurt to answer some of these tough questions, of which I'm sure countless were submitted.

It would also be interesting to know if you proposition is true.

Has anyone asked?

Okay.

Well, there is next week. :)

if it was me, I'd make the answers a little more informal. They read like press releases.

This is a great idea, but I can't see Christopher giving good answer to tough questions (scheduling, etc.) through it. Nice gesture, though.

I like it as well. It shows Christopher is trying to reach out the BG masses and see what he needs to do and get their ideas. I'll check every week to see what gets asked.
