In addition to it being homecoming, they are honoring the 1960 National Championship team this weekend. Not sure how many of them are still able to attend, but they expect Bobby Bell to be there. I am sure that played a part in adopting this particular uniform. A Gopher fan should never...

and trying to get out of a contract.

Thanks for the link. Didn't know about the close relationship between Odom and the Lindsey family.

Just wait two weeks and re-post.

He didn't play in the first four games due to injury. I don't know if he's come back in the last week or two.

Not for delicate ears: Bobby F-ing Knight

If your point is that they are on the same footing as the rest of the world if you just ignore all of the parties' conduct and experiences with each other over the years of their relationship, I guess I'd ask why in the world you would ignore that? Neither side seems to have been all that happy...

I have no idea if there are any at this point since the current deal still has 5+ years to run. (And if I did know, I wouldn't post it on a message board.) I just know that, at this point, no one I have spoken to thinks Huntington has any interest in extending the relationship. Maybe they are...

I don't think that you can compare an NFL stadium deal to the University of Minnesota, but I would like to think that they could do better much better than what they are getting from Huntington and your IU example is a good one. I am not sure, however, that everyone at the U is convinced of that.

Of course not, that wasn't really the issue. I can't say too much, but the parties agreed to extend the option date by a year to give Huntington more time to deal with issues related to being new in the market and the ongoing pandemic. The TCF people who had been working with the U were gone...

I don't know either. Certainly there has been a benefit to Huntington as they tried to acclimate consumers in a new market to an unfamiliar name, but presumably that benefit diminishes over time as they become more established. The U was not happy with how Huntington declined the option and...

I'd hope saving a year for Jackson isn't a factor, only mentioned it because it's a possibility as to why he's only been in one game so far. Maybe Denaburg is the best option, but he's a career 61% kicker (19 for 31). You are right that he's 6 of 9 this year, but only one of the makes was...

I am not at practice, but I know what I see at the games and the current guy doesn't inspire confidence at all. If the guy from Alex isn't getting a shot because they are trying to preserve a redshirt, I think that's short sighted. If he's no better than Denaburg, we're in trouble going forward.

In 2021, Huntington Bank declined the option to continue the naming rights agreement through 2040. The current agreement expires in 2031. I haven't seen the agreement, so I don't know what specifically it provides, but presumably any assignment of the rights under the contract requires both...

Man do some people like to extrapolate from what some people want or value to other people they have never met.
