Idk like a 5? Always an unknown with a new guy with limited reps. His job is to manage the game and not turn the ball over. Also not having an experienced center hurts too. If we got Avery from ECU I’d probably move that number to 6 or 7.

lol just stay in Bloomington or Decatur and drive over.Love this. I am going to try to get the wife down for the Penn State game. We went to the Purdue disaster last year and both had fun, but I would like to show her Memorial Stadium when I cannot see snow flurries.I have also never experienced Grange Grove when it's warm out, so I really want to!
EDIT: What in the LITERAL $*(&#$(*, lol ... a room at the Hyatt for the PSU weekend is literally $800 per night.

Minor problem in that we enjoy our gameday beers a bit too much to do that responsibly.
If this turned out to be each team’s average finish in their division (notwithstanding UCLA and USC) over the next ten years I would not be unhappy.
I feel like we’re closer to that (consistent year-to-year middle of the pack competency) than at any point in the two decades now that I’ve been a fan.

We've tasted success and it was too sweet to want to settle for middle of pack competency.

The stakes of this season in establishing that as a baseline are hard to overstate.

Altmyer has a lower floor, but a higher ceiling.
Based on those numbers, including a close win at Purdue (I'm assuming a 3-point advantage doesn't overcome 5 spots in the rankings?) - we go 4-5 in the Big Ten.

In a way, we got dealt a tough blow where the teams immediately ahead of us are road games and the team immediately behind us is a road game. I do trust us to be able to defend home field and snag an upset on the road; Coach has proven he can get that out of the boys. But yeah, the path to 7-5 is there. Can we take it?

I saw we have had a huge increase in season ticket sales, which is awesome! Does anyone know what the actual number is compared to last year? The best way to consistently get good crowds has always been and always will be to have a robust season ticket group to provide a high floor.
Will this still be on BTN?

It really makes sense to move it but it is a real bummer that it won't be on BTN. The weather will be awful on Thursday so evene if there isn't lightning there wouldn't have been as many fans. Friday will hopefully be a good draw for many and a boost to beer sales on campus!
Will it be on BTN+,or perhaps broadcast at a later date?

Thanks dad!
No problem! I could be your son....
Probably. I just retired not too long ago.

I have no idea. The notice seemed to change its nature by saying the Spring Game was cancelled and Friday would be a public scrimmage. I am guessing that is a less interesting format for BTN and its minions.

Does a scrimmage mean no referees maybe?

Correct. All the calls are either yes or no. There are no maybe calls.
