Out of curiosity (and I don't mean this to diminish anyone's season), any reason why 25 players receive First Team Big Ten honors? Seems like a lot when, counting a libero, teams typically "start" 7 players. In comparison, there are 22 starters in football (plus a handful of special teams...

1st timeout - during the team entrance to the stadium - wants a redo to "look better" 2nd timeout - before the coin toss, captains need to reconfirm with the sidelines as to whether they are supposed to choose "tails" - only to find out it is the visiting team's call. 3rd timeout - before the...

Funny how we scrutinize to save $2-3 on a ticket, yet don't think twice about a $16 beer......

The prices are coming down - saw a $25 single on a secondary market this morning (had been $50+ for most of the week). I think I'm waiting until gameday - if I do not find something at the 'Sota Social, I'll go to Stub Hub, etc.

I tried to track down some Gophers sections at Wrigley and came up empty as well. Appears that Wrigley (not Northwestern) is handling the ticket transactions - likely leading to a broad mix of fans. Looking for a single ticket if anyone happens to have an extra

As expected, the Northwestern game time on November 22 is 11a. For those of us attending Wrigley, the 'Sota Social starts at 8am at Yak-Zies, but I believe there may be other pub gatherings as well...

FWIW - of the 4 NW games at Wrigley since 2021, all 4 were 11a starts (including the Michigan game this Saturday).

Considering there are about 100 helmets needed per game - that's a lot of job security for the helmet "stylists"

While class rankings at least provide some chat bait - portal success is as good, if not better, indicator of class potential

CBS still has Maryland (1-4 in the B1G) ahead of us, and they have games at Rutgers, Ill and MSU and a home game against Mich. They are 4-4 overall and did not play a non-conference game against a P4 school

Did not the know hard casts were no longer allowed (but it makes sense). Saw an interview of Lou when he was with the Hawks in the NBA - said that playing with the cast in his collegiate senior year permanently altered his shooting. He was not complaining (he had a great HOF NBA career), but...

Limiting my selection to something I saw in person (not on TV) - have to mention Voshan Lenard in a triple OT win over Iowa at Williams in March 1994. It was set up as Lenard's last game at the barn (but he ended up coming back for his senior year) and he did not disappoint, 38 points. The shot...

Anyone heard of what the "Gopher Sections" might be at Wrigley?

$50k is hardly a fine these days (especially in the SEC) - Kirby Smart can probably find that in his sofa cushions
