Homecoming is mainly a marketing tool. It makes sense to use it on a game where you're going to struggle to sell tickets.

Here's a statement from the NFLPA that looks at more recent data and only the NFL: https://nflpa.com/posts/only-natural-grass-can-level-the-nfls-playing-field

Their defense is their weak spot. Last year only held 3 of their opponents to less than 20 points, and two of those three were weak offenses that were within 7 of their season average against Ohio State. Half of their opponents either had 400+ passing yards or 200+ rushing yards against them...

I'm just a few years younger than he is. I wear headphones a ton but if I wore them to a social event with my friends or coworkers they probably wouldn't ask him again. Maybe the pictures are out of context but considering he has them on in 2 different pictures and combined with the expression...

I think it's even worse than looking at your phone because you could be repeatedly checking your phone because you're waiting for an important message. I doubt he means anything by it but like you said it's sending a horrible message. Wearing earbuds at a social event is nowhere close to...

I bet if Alabama is in a position where they'd have to forfeit they'd find a way to work around it. Now that everyone has a chance to get the vaccine I don't see why this is still a big issue. There shouldn't be testing requirements unless players show symptoms and only players who show...

I think overall mobile tickets are much easier to use but it's disappointing they aren't giving the option of paper tickets for people who prefer them or don't have a smartphone. I can't imagine they're saving that much money by getting rid of the paper tickets. At the very least give people...

I didn't know it was illegal before. So now it's not a crime for college athletes in Texas to receive money for their name, image, and likeness but if they do, the NCAA can and will still stop them from playing. Other than laying groundwork for when the NCAA changes their rules this doesn't do...

Most TV providers charge 50 cents to a dollar per channel. I get there should be a premium if you pick and choose but $23 for one channel is way too high, especially considering there's rarely anything worth watching on from about midnight to 6pm. They might think consumers are choosing between...

Even if this passed I doubt any conferences would unionize. The majority of student athletes play sports other than football, hockey, and basketball and are already getting a good deal as it is. The things football, hockey, and basketball players want would mean the end of most of the other...

Not that they're hard to get on their own but I've never seen state fair tickets bundled with Gopher tickets. The closest thing to an official tailgate is the thing a McNamara and "tailgate" is a big stretch. There are sometimes a couple food trucks on Oak St but it's usually underwhelming. The...

I'd like to see them try to make it into an all day event. Make a special ticket package that gives you parking, access to the state fair during the day, a voucher for an official tailgate or food trucks they bring in, a pregame event with the band and spirit squad, and the game. The U should go...

Yes, it's been every other year but they last did it in 2018 so they should have 3 years of stuff. That sounds about right, in 2018 I got there 20 minutes early and was probably 150-200th in line. They had a handful of football jerseys but the good sticks and nicer jerseys were gone and the...

Must have been written by a Badgers fan. Even if the missed games count as losses (which they shouldn't) they're still 1 short. This is a Big Ten-focused website and they can't figure out that the only way a Big Ten team could have played 10 games last year is if they made a bowl game?

They did have jerseys last time, I want to say they were $100 for football and $200 for hockey. They also had hockey sticks for about half of what they retailed for but they went really quick. Not too much in terms of souvenirs, it seemed like the vast majority of it was clothes that Nike sent...

Disappointing that the state will only allow 10k fans. That's even less than they're allowing in California for baseball games. I wonder how the wait list will work. I'd have to imagine quite a few people who got tickets won't end up going and just reserved them while they had the chance and...

Even if the Gophers lost, Pitino's job wouldn't have been at risk. The Gophers were a top 15 team, they were playing a top 25 team, and 5 on 3 isn't a situation that basketball coaches ever prepare for. It would have been embarrassing but the odds of Pitino getting fired would have been 0%.

Specialists are usually either not rated or rated low by the major recruiting sites and then others specific to specialists give them ratings on a different scale. I'm not sure if a specialist has ever been given 5 stars by 247 or similar sites before but the Gophers have had 5 star kickers...

Should be winning inside with the height difference but Robbins has done nothing on offense and has 2 fouls.

That looked like Pitino's fault much more than Carr's. There was no plan other than give the ball to Carr and hope he scored.
