    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    I've been cautiously optimistic that the Bears weren't actually dumb enough to move the team to Gary. But it is the Bears so there's always that possibility.

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    Soldier Field and everything east of LSD is city property, and that's extremely unlikely to ever change. But the train tracks just west of LSD are not. Maybe 7 or 8 years ago a developer acquired the air rights and had plans cap the tracks and develop on top of them. The point is, the...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    Eh, this one's a little specific to the region. First, moving out of Illinois would be a big deal, moreso that the Chiefs moving from MO to KS as the Chicago metro area isn't anywhere close to evenly split between the two states. Third, getting to/from games would be terrible from most of...

    Warren Sapp is a "first amendment auditor"

    Karens are stunned to discover ******* behavior can result in consequences like people treating them like ********. Sounds like First Amendment auditors think ******* behavior should result in compensation.

    Are fans more connected to a university than athletes are?

    This should be glaringly apparent to anyone who’s ever had and/or left one job for another. It’s exactly the same thing.

    Does the Big 12 want Notre Dame?

    LOL. B10 would give just about anything to land ND. I think the perception that the B12 is functionally the same as the ACC minus the academic pedigree keeps them from even thinking about coming over the the B12. ND will stay independent as long as they can be competitive on the field, can...

    Looks Like Portal Season Begins

    I think we had a couple of RBs sit out the K-State game at the end of ‘23 because they were transferring, but I think injuries may have been a factor. Norton maybe? Just going off the top of my head.

    14 Years Ago Tomorrow

    I totally forgot that was a Friday night game. At the time, I’d been talking to this girl from a dating site for a week or two, and we were trying to line up a time to meet for drinks. I somehow talked her into meeting up on Thursday night. She agreed, but not without giving me a hard time about...

    ***2025 Week 4 (Sept.18-Sept. 20) CFB Games Thread***

    If the B12 is a truck stop conference, Utah is a lot lizard.

    Cracks in the B1G?

    Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern, Purdue, Maryland, and Rutgers are different than Arizona, Arizona St, Oregon St, Washington St, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Kansas St, Iowa St, Texas Tech, Oklahoma St because _____.

    Cracks in the B1G?

    The Super League happens when the B10/SEC have-nots don't have anything else to give.

    Cracks in the B1G?

    Why is Iowa different than anyone in the B12 or PAC that didn't get an invite to the B10 or SEC? I'll agree it's a few years out, but the narrative begins now.

    Cracks in the B1G?

    Why wouldn't they push for a bigger cut? Where are the likes of Iowa or Indiana going to go? Yeah, they're sitting at the table with the big boys, but what are they going to do when the big boys demand they hand over more? Are they going to stick around as long as they're making more than the...

    Cracks in the B1G?

    The B12 was a microcosm of college football over the past 20 years or so. The B10 and SEC have been ruthless in getting the biggest and best cut for themselves to the detriment of the sport. Similarly, Texas, A&M, Nebraska and Oklahoma were ruthless in getting the biggest and best cut for...

    Cracks in the B1G?

    Does anyone really think this wasn't the inevitable result? There's nothing special about the bottom half of the B10 (or SEC), they just got to ride the realignment coattails of a few programs for the past 15 years due to geographical luck and historical ties. The Blue Bloods will inevitably...
