Harry Chappas Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) Rosen's thoughts here were taken completely out of context. People need to read the entire article of what he said. I thought the exact same thing. Alabama though is handing out money left and right to smart kids from the north. Not sure where the money it is coming from exactly but there is an academic pipeline from Chicago to Tuscaloosa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Rosen had a lot of great points, unfortunate people latched onto the headline and not the meat, but reporters are lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hurtin Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It sounds like something from the Onion, but it's actually true. ESPN has pulled the planned PBP announcer from a Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee.

Dick Allen Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) Hawkeye football made Ed Cunningham quit ESPN Yeah, that was kind of weird. Beathard was a typical immobile QB with his injury. It wasn't like he was playing with a concussion. Seems a little extreme thwt would be the final straw and make him walk away from a pretty sweet gig. I always liked his work. But to me, it does seem that football isn't as highly anticipated this year as it has in the past. Maybe all the brain injuries are starting to turn people off.

Heads22 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 11:14 PM) I'm super pumped to travel to Iowa city this year It's the third or fourth loudest stadium I've ever been to. Their fans are mouth breathers, but they are loud and passionate. They can't help that they made a bad life-choice. I've been to a number of college football stadiums (about 25), probably would rank them (of the ones worth a crap): 1. Memorial Stadium (Nebraska) - loudest place I've ever been for a game 2. Kyle Field (Texas A&M) - loudest place I've ever been for a game that was out of hand 3. Gaylord Memorial Stadium (Oklahoma) - one of the places where it really feels big time, especially at night 4. Kinnick Stadium (Iowa) - cool place to see a game, especially at night 5. DKR-Texas Memorial (Texas) - sheer size is something else, fans aren't the greatest Other places I've been: Dix Stadium (Kent State) - no fan turnout Arrowhead (Kansas State) - not a good place for a college game Memorial Stadium (Kansas) - decrepit Faurot Field (Missouri) - haven't been here in a while, stadium was nice, nothing special Sun Devil Stadium (Insight Bowl) - neat place, would think it would be rocking for a big ASU home game Folsom Field (Colorado) - scenery is unbeatable, fans are....different. Jack Trice Stadium (Iowa State) - closed in end zone really improved the look Rentschler Field (UCONN) - fans are a non entitiy Floyd Casey Stadium (Baylor) - stadium was falling apart, fans were surprising loud (during RG3) Jones AT&T Stadium (Texas Tech) - neat stadium that fits in its surroundings Bill Snyder Memorial Stadium (Kansas State) - stadium is sort of piecemeal, improvements on the north end really tie it together Yankee Stadium (Pinstripe Bowl) - really cool for a one off game Amon G Carter Stadium (TCU) - all sorts of money poured into the stadium, maybe they should pay fans to show up because they show up the worst Boone Pickens Stadium (Oklahoma State) - much like TCU with new money, unique with GIA right there, fans are good people Liberty Bowl (Liberty Bowl - Memphis) - crappy neighborhood, dated stadium Chapman Stadium (Tulsa) - campus right nearby is cool looking, still a neat old feel Milan Puskar Stadium (West Virginia) - never been there with a good fan turnout, stadium starting to show age Glass Bowl (Toledo) - crappy neighborhood, decent sized MAC stadium with a dated feel McClane Stadium (Baylor) - all the bells and whistles, lets see if they can fix it up this year when they lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
