Right, so who cares. Sure it is nice when people pick the Illini high in the standings, but doesn’t matter. Need to do it on the field. String together some good seasons and the media type will be more inclined to pick the Illini higher, but, again, doesn’t matter.
I’d rather we were picked low and overachieve before being picked high and underachieve. 😉

I have no idea what kind of team FAU will be this season, but I'm impressed with the coaching staff Tom Herman has put in place. With guys like Everett Whithers, Charlie Fry and Ed Warrinner (former Illinois OL coach), he has very experienced coaches. Then he has a number of younger coaches that are Florida natives that have coached high school teams in Florida before moving into college coaching, which should produce quality recruits. May not be a strong team this year, but I would think they will be a team that will a tough opponent in the next few years.

no where else to put this. Maybe Dan wants to open a "capital projects" thread

Penn State doing something about their place:

Lets hope that Josh has a committee formed and in place to study ideas to get our place finished.
All this football money needs to at least partially go towards football.

Having been to that stadium 3 times, the actual structure itself is awful. Great environment, but it is in dire need of updates.

That's how I've always described it - the biggest high school stadium in the world
