That 2009 game at the New Brickhouse featured Eric Decker's TD pass in which he was completely obliterated immediately after catching the ball at the pylon.

IIRC the first time that the public learned about anything about this business was when Fitz was put on involuntary leave for two weeks in summer 2023, which was then followed by the NU paper printing all the lurid details that the investigation found out. Most of us thought that the suspension...

And had they sacked him as soon as the hazing report hit the AD's desk, they could have.

Sitting directly across the stadium from the band is probably the best place to hear them. Our seats in 231 are behind the band, and we can't hear them at all.

After having witnessed several ghastly Axe games at the Camp from 2006-14, if you would have told me that the Gophers would win 3 of their next 4 down there (and probably should have won the 4th one), I would have said you were crazy.

The holdup for 35W to 94 west isn't the ramp. It's the tunnel. As for this arena discussion, it isn't going to matter when ARod can't get the money to finance the redevelopment.

Elk River has always been considered metro, even when Buffalo, STMA, Waconia, Rockford, and Delano were not (up to the late 90s).

I was at Husky Stadium in 2007 the night they unfurled a banner in honor of declaring themselves 1960 national champions. Everyone in the stadium was laughing. IIRC that was a game against USC in which USC had 160 yards of penalties and 3 lost turnovers, yet that UW team wouldn't take the game...

I would be shocked if Wisconsin will be anything other than 2:30 PM.

Still, there is a middle ground somewhere between the past and current states of things that everyone could have agreed on, had the NCAA been willing to budge from their my-way-or-the-highway mentality.

The NCAA/the member universities are the cause of this whole situation. Being unwilling and/or unable to fix the problem of the student-athlete getting ZERO, it meant that when the courts fixed the problem, no one likes the fix.

Like I said, a terrible deal.

I guess if you're going to sell out, then SELL OUT! Only getting $30M for the football stadium naming rights was shameful then and now.

At least 1 trip to the second weekend of the tournament.

Given Fran's temper history, I'm surprised that he got fired before he had a seizure on the sideline.
