No over/under on how many receivers run into the padding that's about 1 foot past the back of the end zone in part of Wrigley Field. There are some pass patterns that simply can't be called in the Red Zone this week.
 
Yeah, and some of the outfield seats appear to have an obstructed view. :(

Northwestern QB out for season. Hurt leg on last play of the game. Without him, Northwestern becomes average at best:(

:lol: This will be a wierd game to watch.

I'm hoping for a sequence of quick turnovers to liven things up :wink:

In a statement issued by the Big Ten, the following changes will be made:

- All offensive plays will head toward the west end zone, including all extra points and all overtime possessions.

- All kickoffs will be kicked toward the east end zone.

- After every change of possession, the ball will be repositioned for the offense to head toward the west end zone.

- As a result of a coin toss held by the conference office Friday morning, Illinois will occupy the west team bench in the first half and Northwestern will occupy the west team bench in the second half and for all overtime periods.

So what happens if someone gets an INT/Fumble recovery/safety heading the wrong way?

Are the refs going to whistle the play dead to 'protect' the players before they get near the death zone? Call a penalty against the player? Have a Cook County sniper take them out for their own safety?

OK well maybe not that last one...

They forgot a few other changes:

  • The fire hydrant is out of bounds
  • tackle only in the grass, two hand touch on the street.
  • The endzone begins at the stop sign and ends at the curb.
  • If a ball hits the street light its still in play
  • 5 Mississippi rush, 1 blitz every four downs

OK if someone recovers a fumble on a kickoff...which fucking end zone do they run to? No one enjoys the promotion of the history of the game more than I do, but if they have to play Ring Around the Fucking Rosey every time someone touches the football, maybe it is a bad idea.

It's too bad FGs aren't done in the same end zone as kickoffs but the opposite one as offensive plays...you could run a fake by all turning and charging downfield to the other end zone :lol:
