I’m pleased with winning seasons and no blowouts. Give me competitive games and more wins than losses year after year.

My guess is 16x9” is the size of the bleacher seat itself. We tend to sit with our backs roughly at the rear of the bleacher and hamstrings out in front? I dunno about the rented seats. Maybe somebody else recalls how the rented padded backrests are positioned with respect to the front/back of...

I’ve always enjoyed those seats, especially in crummy weather.

This applies now as well. And it cuts both ways, better and worse. The teams on our schedule aren’t the same as last year. That’s the nature of college ball . . . relentless change between teams and at positions within teams.

I would never be associated with such a thing in any way. Not clothing, decals, or anything else. Better to have nothing at all IMO.

Agreed. It solves two problems at once!

It wcould have to be done with the current seat pitch, which is literally set in concrete. Skinny seat backs would be needed, so don’t expect a luxury experience. Maybe hard shells would work. Personally I’ve never given the bleacher seating surface or lack of a backrest much thought. At 6’-1”...

True, assuming our defense doesn’t improve through the season. It’s reasonable to expect gradual improvement though, with so much of it being new.

Outkick busts ESPN for peddling a whopper re: SEC vs B1G schedule strength. They kinda overdid the lying, with stats way too bad to be true. Their chosen metric actually shows B1G schedules are tougher. Will ESPN publish a correction? 😂...

I just cast my 4 daily votes —-two each on iPhone and iPad (using both regular Safari and Private mode). Now I’ll see if I can vote on my Windows desktop too.

Fear not. He’s very well known and even holds our school record for longest kick at 59 yards. Welcome home! https://fightingillini.com/sports/football/roster/ethan-moczulski/15838

When does voting end?

Our 2022 loss to scUM was a pants-crapping on their part. Michigan was only saved by the refs. IIRC they called Spoon’s interception pass interference despite his back to the receiver and eyes pinned to the ball. Shameful call.

It’s also possible that any of the higher ranked teams could crap their pants. Thats why we play the games.

This could require some tree pruning or removal to open up sight lines to tailgating lots across Kirby.
