Supposed to seat 35k. In a best case scenario, say, mid-pack B1G team bowl eligible most years, what’s the ceiling on NW’s drawing power?

I would guess they nailed it with 35. Probably pretty expensive tickets for Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, etc. on a normal year for them and REALLY expensive tickets when NW hits one of their big win years against those big draw teams, but otherwise they’ll be easy to go see. I’ve only heard great things about the new Welsh-Ryan and I know for a fact their football facility on campus is insane so I’d bet that’ll be a pretty sweet stadium if it goes through.

Very soccer looking. I like it. Might be small but I'll bet it'll be loud with how it's built.

I'm already seeing Deion being tossed around for the GT job. While I think he could be dangerous when he gets a P5 job, I don't think GT is the one. That isn't a program culture fit in the slightest and it's a reeaaallyyy tough job. The only guy that had sustained success there in my lifetime did it by confusing everyone with the triple option.

So you are saying that Primetime fits in well at Nebraska?

If you build them smaller, it's easier to brag about sold out game days.

That would be a trip. I'd say the natural fit is at Arizona State really. That'd be must-see TV if they want to stay on the wild side of things, but after the mess Herm made there I'm not sure if they want that.

Yes the Ohio State fans will be deafening.

Personally, I would love to see what Primetime could do at ASU.

I’d hate to see Purdue with an even above average QB. Hopefully someone takes Brohm before he finally gets one there.

Illinois up 14-10 late in the first half against UW

TCU SMOKING Oklahoma. 34-10 in the first half 

Sooners beat Nebraska 49-14 

[DChoosier]

Wiscy was favored by 6.5 but got pounded, AT HOME, by Illinois 34-10.

UK just lost (actually totally gave away the game) to Ole Miss. Game lasted 3:15. Not sure why we have had several ridiculously long 4 hour games.

UK running the ball a lot and snapping the ball under 5 on the play clock every play definitely helps. When we complete about 50% of our passes and snap the ball ASAP it turns into a marathon quick. 
 

CFB needs to get rid of the clock stopping on first downs in a bad way.

The announcers in the Cincinnati-Tulsa game just mentioned that one of the TU defensive players is in his SEVENTH year in a sort of casual aside that downplays how kind of nuts that is.

Watching our game, I'm gonna piggyback and give each coach a challenge and thats it besides targeting review and touchdowns. A dozen reviews for every catch or drop at the 47 yard line is another 20 minutes a game.

Also, this ref is giving us some narration after every single play. That won’t speed things up.

I know Bennett won a title with Georiga last year. But man, dude is a major liability. Dude has elite talent every year and he just isn't good

I didn't think they would win one last year because of him. I blame my sister's boyfriend who is from Georgia for getting me hooked on them and the Braves.
