So, I wanted to throw these pics out there.. BTW, these are not mine, the Gopher Football team's head coach, Tim Brewster, took these. I'm just linkin' them.

This is the turf being installed at TCF Bank Stadium (The Brick House, or The Vault).. I can't wait for Sept. 12th!

I LOVE football fields! I think they're incredible.


I just found out recently that I'm going to be an NC State Wolfpack grad student soon, so guess who instantly became one of my favorite teams? LOL.

No I don't have big expectations for them, but they really came on strong at the end of last year. Sleeper team maybe?

=)

Things are changing at Minnesota 

So youre the coach of a Big Ten football team that went from one victory in 2007 to seven in 2008, as big a one-year turnaround as we saw in the FBS last season. You return virtually your entire offense and much of the defense. You have a brand-spanking-new on-campus stadium about to open that promises to be jam-packed from Day 1.

Dude.. Maybe it's just me.. But I think college game atmospheres are better than the NFL. I have yet to see fans at an NFL game have the traditions of a NCAA game (Wisconsin's "Jump Around" in the 4th quarter, Penn State's "White Out" during night games, etc).. Not to mention the coordination the drunk college kids have to create a wave, the fast wave, the slow-mo wave, and the reverse wave (all I've seen in person at Camp Randall) is leaps and bounds better than anything I've seen at an NFL game.

Ha. The Wave at Miller Park was disappointing to say the least. Maybe Brewers fans don't get drunk enough.

Checking in with: Minnesota QB Adam Weber 

As most Big Ten blog readers know, I'm a pretty big Adam Weber fan. He has been put under some pretty tough circumstances at Minnesota and performed well, passing for 5,656 yards and 39 touchdowns in his first two seasons as the starter. Though Minnesota's program remains a work in progress, Weber has proven himself as a leader and shown his toughness, leading the Gophers past Illinois last October just six days after undergoing knee surgery.

ESPN.com's Adam Rittenburg wrote:



Great interview.

Weber is probably my all time favorite Minnesota QB. Class act. I know it's a long shot, but I hope for a very successful NFL career for the guy.

With these pics.. it is officially pathetic that the college team has better digs than the Vikings.. still don't understand why they didn't combine forces on a shared venue.

Yes. It would piss me off.

But with the depth of young QBs Green Bay has, I don't see it happening. lol

They just want their own place. It may seem pretty selfish, but I think it's fair enough.

Now that this thing is built, I think the Vikings have some more time to get something figured out.. I think they agreed to play there while a new stadium is built on the site of the Dome.. And their lease at the Dome is up in 2011. We'll see how that thing goes in this economy, though.

Air Force @ Minnesota, The Bank.

As you guys know, I'll be there. Just be prepared for a butt ton of pictures.

Also, how in the blue Hell did this thread get buried so far during college kickoff?!

Other games I have noted: Michigan-Notre Dame and USC @ Ohio State. I'm cheering for both Big 10(11) teams. Only two Big 10 teams I truly root against is Iowa and Wisconsin, no matter what the circumstances. And a lot of the time I cheer against Michigan. But against the Irish? No way.

Florida is putting on the STOMP CHOMP against Troy right now.

And WTF OU!? Oklahoma getting beat by BYU last week. WOW! The Big 10 had a few close calls last week, too.. Syracuse vs. Minnesota, Navy vs. Ohio State, and UNI vs. Iowa.

Anyway, week 2 of college ball has kicked off, folks.. Gotta love this game!
