FIOS still doesn't have a deal either which is pissing me off.

Got a tour of the upper decks of the (relatively) new addition to Spartan Stadium last week. Think this was just finishing up as I graduated so they were all areas I hadn't seen before.

The new home of the original Sparty on the ground floor.

North end screens from media row.


View of the field from a luxury suite (this one was owned by the Ag. Dept)


New practice fields for both the football team and the marching band. In the distance, you can see a white tower that was installed after what happened at Notre Dame to make sure anyone taking video can do so safely.

They finally gave up on that crap. It's just East and West now. Rutgers is East, with Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan. They'll fight it out with Indiana and Maryland for last place.

Thank god, it was just embarrassing for any conference to do that. Looking forward to watching Maryland get stomped over and over in the name of more money.

We've got a small stadium so attendance isn't going to be an issue, we were doing 40k+ against AAC teams while playing mediocre football. The tickets for Michigan, PSU, and Wisconsin are going to resell for hundreds.

And I think we're going to beat you, Maryland, and Indiana.

I was under the impression that Indiana was becoming a little less embarrassing, was that like a one year deal or is the program actually getting slightly better?

I was actually thinking of last year, which...well yeah they were still awful. But that was a fun offense at least, and having one good unit is more than I'd expect out of Indiana.

They've had a pretty exciting offense the last few years, combined with an excitingly non-existent defense. Thus they got into a lot of high-scoring shootouts, most of which they lost.

Last year they were 17th in scoring points, 117th in getting scored on. If they can move their defense up into the merely terrible range, they could make a bowl this year.

One time in church, the priest said that the Vatican had people hard at work discovering new sins all the time. My dad leans over to me and asks "how do you get that job?"

I think the NCAA thing is the same as that.

UCLA makes sense because of the weather but I wonder how much they cost because they're hyper delicate in almost any weather.
