WIth the ACC and SEC expansions, the ACC plans to go to a nine-game conference schedule for football, which could put future out-of-conference series in jeopardy. One series feared lost was planned between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Clemson Tigers. Thankfully, according to Clemson Athletic Director Don Phillips, that series is still on.
Clemson AD Terry Don Phillips just told members of the Media that Clemson and Georgia will play football in'13 and '14— Will Vandervort (@steelerwill) March 30, 2012
The 2012 SEC schedule has been released, but the 2013 schedule is still a bit up in the air as the SEC will need to modify its scheduling procedures in preparation for the additional teams and conference games.

Always Be Ready
Albacore fishing often involves long bouts of trolling to locate schools of fish. When a jig strike stops the boat, scores of anglers rush out of the galley or stumble up from the bunk room to get live baits in the water.
The best fishermen on the boat will already be hooked up. The first few baits dropped back on the slide - when the boat drifts to a stop after the motors are taken out of gear - are sometimes the only ones bit. I don't care if it's been two hours since the last stop; you'll always find me standing by the bait tank, rod in hand and hook pinched between my thumb and forefinger. I've picked out the bait I want, and I usually have it in the water before the clickers on the trolling outfits stop screaming.
Have Backups Ready
The best anglers have multiple bait outfits rigged and ready to grab so they don't have to waste time retying during a hot bite. I always have at least two sardine rigs, one light anchovy stick, a heavy jig outfit and a sinker bait ready to deploy.
Listen to the Crew
Hooked-up anglers must follow their fish and the crew's instructions. When you get tangled with other anglers' lines, listen to the crew and you'll get out of it most of the time. One of the first instructions will be to step back from the rail and bring the two rod tips together. This seems counterintuitive, but it helps deckhands see how the fish are wrapped and keeps the lines parallel rather than pulling against each other.
Finish Strong
Many times I've seen anglers fight the good fight only to tire or relax when the fish comes into sight. The result is often a pulled hook or bite-off. The best anglers keep up the pressure and short-pump the spiraling tuna to the surface. Small two-speed bait reels let you drop into low and winch stubborn fish to the gaff.
Handle Bait Carefully
Forming a cradle with your hand will allow you to lift and control a lively bait without damaging it. Keep the bait nestled in your wet palm, but never squeeze it. If you have to manhandle a live bait or drop it on the deck, toss it over and get a fresh one - no matter how good it was. It takes practice, but learning how to select, hook and get a bait into the water before 20 other anglers rush the bait tank is key to success.
Dare to Be Different
It's not unusual to go through a series of jig stops or sonar schools with no bait hookups. This is a good time to try something different. If everybody is fishing large sardines, put out an anchovy on 20-pound-test. Or try dropping a bait straight down with a chrome torpedo sinker tied in-line.
Sometimes you do everything right, but you just seem to be snakebit. If you're not getting bit or you dump a few fish, it's easy to get frustrated and go into a funk. Keep doing the right things and fish hard until the last bell, and you'll be surprised how often things turn around.

Downed wires Tuesday evening knocked out power to some Connecticut Light & Power customers in Groton and Ledyard.
Emergency officials in Groton reported at 8 p.m. that sections of roadways were closed because of the wires down in the area of Cow Hill Road at Lamphere Road and Pumpkin Hill Road in the area of Gold Star Highway and Deerfield Ridge Drive.
The roads have since reopened.
CL&P spokesman Frank Poirot said line crews were sent out to repair the problem, but he did not give an estimate on how long before power was restored.
At 8 p.m., there were 577 CL&P customers in Ledyard and 1,568 in Groton without power. By 9:30 p.m., there was no change in Ledyard and 847 homes in Groton without power.

Residents at Touchmark are trying out a voting machine made for seniors and those with vision loss.
The machine is called the "Auto Mark."
It allows the voter to listen to the candidates names instead of reading them and make the font larger for them to see more clearly.
Once they choose a candidate, the machine fills in the ballot and spits it out for the voter to take to the ballot box.
Scott Weissman with the Interagency Program for Assistive Technology led the demo and believes everyone, no matter their age, should be able to vote.
"I just really wanted to make individuals know that even though they may have difficulty casting their vote in a traditional way, there's still a way to go to the polling station and make that happen," Weissman said.
He says the "Auto Mark" machine is available at every polling place.
They are currently updating the machine to make it lighter and easier to operate.
