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.
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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 _____.
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.
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...
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...
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...
