    Huntington Bank Field

    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...

    Kicker

    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...

    Kicker

    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.

    Huntington Bank Field

    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...

    What is Drake Lindsey's ceiling? 1st RD pick?

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

    What is the best lot for tailgating?

    I don't know you and my comments are not directed to your conduct specifically or to in any way justify fan vs. fan confrontation. Based on my years of observations in that lot, I think the reason that the lot enforcement squad has been more aggressive in the last few years is that there have...

    What is the best lot for tailgating?

    Are there still assigned spots in the Gold Lot?

    What is the best lot for tailgating?

    The lot opening times for all of the on campus lots are set by University policy. If you are looking to start earlier, you'll have to go off campus.

    Memory lane - attending a game at the shoe

    Great story! My first and only trip to the Big House was the Gophers 30-14 win over Michigan in 2014. I have no plans to go back.

    Recent history vs Ohio State

    I guess "pretty tough" is a matter of opinion, but the scores of the last ten games, dating back to 2006 and all OSU wins, are: 37-3 45-31 30-14 28-14 31-24 52-10 38-7 34-21 30-7 44-0 Only one of those was a one score game.

    Fleck on Taylor injury: "It doesn't seem too bad, which is really good. So, we got really good, positive diagnosis on that.”

    Yes, the Vegas line setters knew all about Turner. All the discussion I heard between Cal and Rutgers was that Turner had a long term injury. And I am talking about from people like Ryan Burns and Justin Gaard, not some insider information.

    The Rouser

    Noticed the same thing watching the replay. Seemed like the band and crowd were mic'd differently.

    Future Scheduling for P4

    The same years that we are on Alabama's schedule they play Arizona. In '32 they are at Minnesota and host Arizona and the next year it flips. The thought is that they won't want two P4 non-conference games in addition to those nine SEC games, but who knows?

    Future Scheduling for P4

    That's really the key point. The Big Ten made the difference between eight and nine conference games an issue in the playoff format discussions. The SEC went to nine conference games and mandated a tenth P4 game once they were satisfied that it would be a factor in selecting playoff teams...

    Season Ticket Question

    I think that Swaggerson and Rocksoldier have answered most of your questions. I would reiterate the idea of using the first year as an information gathering exercise to gauge where you want to sit long term. There are quite a few obstructed view seats in The Barn, but we are a long way from...

    Fleck: “We were 1-0 in the bye week. We used it perfectly. Whether that’s fundamentals, details, techniques, reflection, self-scouting..."

    PJ is rarely succinct when it comes to praising the program, so I don't think that's it. In this case he followed up the 1-0 comment with “We used it perfectly. Whether that’s fundamentals, details, techniques, reflection, self-scouting and working Minnesota on Minnesota.” If he was trying to...

    Fleck: “We were 1-0 in the bye week. We used it perfectly. Whether that’s fundamentals, details, techniques, reflection, self-scouting..."

    No one is upset, I said it made me cringe. Others are mocking the absurdity of the statement. If you want to believe that telling a group of adults that they were 1-0 in the bye week is going to inspire the team, that's fine. I don't believe it for a second, and I think it makes him look...

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    Not only is he the winningest coach in their history, he has over 100 more wins than the guy in second place. Pretty impressive run for a coach at a school that isn't even the best program in his own state.
