I toured NW’s new Ryan Field before the game last night. It is certainly worthy of all the praise it has received. Yes, very modern and intimate feel, great student section, theming, fan amenities, food, etc.

Favorite detail: All corporate advertisements are black, purple or white. Even the Coke advertisement behind the end zone is in black-and-white. No school color clashing adverts/branding like Gies or SFC.

Two least favorite (minor) details:

1. The marching band sort of disappears and isn’t a prominent fan experience compared to the NFL style lights and music, taking away the college atmosphere just a bit.
2. Who donates a stadium and then builds a statue of himself in front of it? A billionaire Pat Ryan statue is so cringe.

I commented the same thing about the band while watching on TV. Did not seem to be a part of the game, never came through the TV audio at all.

Northwestern will be the biggest beatdown this year the way they are playing unless we learn to play defense competantly

My REO story. In high school I worked with a guy who said REO played his prom at Roxana High, end of story.

Also, that Miss St video board looks like a 42in tv compared to ours.

Northwestern might have a new stadium, but our video board is bigger than theirs!

And a suggestion: Let's get to 6 wins before we play them. I would feel more relaxed if we did.

I thought Lindsay was good? He’s the reason they are losing. And why did they stop running the ball?
