I have to guess it's Pardon. Esch was great, but when I was watching him the opponents' triple teams limited his success to a small degree.

This was exactly why I picked Pardon, who was rarely the focal point of the defense so he had a lot of high-percentage shots.

$65 each for our tickets in Washington this season and a decent sideline view from the upper deck, certainly better than $80 in our north end zone.

Supply and demand, my good man.

NU fans have no idea how goddamn cheap NU football tickets and parking have been for decades. Now that the administration is trying to operate like a modern college football team, those same fans riot.

I would disagree with the administration trying to operate like a modern football team. It is time for them to realize that an All American FB player graduating with a 2.0 is more valuable than a lot of geeks graduating with a 3.5 or better.

wow...amazing how quickly a subpar D1 fb program can become so good so fast! Is it because of the 23 portal tranfers?

Whatever the actual number; 9 of them followed their HC from JMU. Far cry from Braun and Lujan bringing not one transfer from their respective programs.

When the new Welsh-Ryan opened, many of our fans had similar complaints about increased prices, required donations, parking, etc., and declared that the stadium would forever be half-empty or full of visiting fans because real NU fans were chased away by this hostility. And for the first few years, that's exactly what it was. Then the team got good and exciting and now it's almost all purple for conference games.

People will pay to see exciting, entertaining, winning teams, and people would do that for the current football team except the current football team isn't good and plays the most boring variety of football imaginable. Nobody except for legacy programs can sell out their buildings for bad teams without significant help from visiting fans.

So the Maryland game this week is a Friday 7pm kickoff start night game?? On fox or what? It is a must win game to save the season and get a win streak going. Away game right? Is it a 6pm central start?

8 ET/7 CT. Yes, it is at Maryland. It will either be on FOX or FS1 depending on the outcomes of the MLB playoffs. Will have all this in my schedule post tomorrow.
