That central division is basically AF2. Or the MAC. Existing mostly to play the other bigger teams and to boost their numbers.

Didn't see this mentioned.

It's aggravating that so many people confuse the two. THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE in the two statements.

Wonder what suburban rinks are big enough to at least 'pass' as a full size stadium. Anything in the 4k+ range?

Hmmm... doubt they'd go to Prescott. But you never know.

Has to be Tucson. There's no way they're starting a team on short notice for the arena the Rattlers just vacated.

If they really wanted to be funny they should've done this at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philly.

Way to skim over the post without understanding it's not minor league or summer league baseball

That's the thing. He wasn't invited. He snuck in. There's no proof it's him even as CMU doesn't know who they are, apparently. It just looks like him. And would make sense that he was there just to steal MSU signs.

I think the argument about the throwbacks is funny. it's moreso that fans feel THOSE are the teams real identities. Either from nostalgia or some specific era of the team they enjoy the most. However, if the NFL had just kept their regular team identities and gone with one-off combos the way NCAA has done, fans probably would like them and have favorites but still keep going back and wanting the regular uniforms most of the time. Eagles colors, Browns facemasks, Bucs orange, Pats Pat the Patriot, Seahawks 70s style, etc... nobody would question it if once a year Eagles wanted a BFBS uniform while still normally being Kelly Green. Or the midnight green. Same with Browns. The biggest reason fans don't want and didn't like the last rebrand was because it was the 'new identity' rather than some couple-times-a-year futuristic version that fans could maybe appreciate. The same the Browns have now down with the all-white look. It's a cool break from the usual, but not something they'd want full-time.

It's not believed he was there to help the Chips. H was there to steal signs from the Spartans. He was just trying to fit in. Coaches generally don't wear passes or nametags. So, somehow he convinced his way in as part of the coaching staff and then just hid in plain sight.

Illinois state officials would've been apoplectic over them playing in Indiana for a year.

You mean... they have time to stubbornly insist that it's a great logo and identity and hope to wear their fanbase down into acceptance before 2025.

City of Arlington aren't going to let that happen.

If they can't reproduce the logo shown online and in video.... They shouldn't have used that logo.

Count me as someone not expecting it after their start.

Hotshots was a great name I thought with a reason behind it.

The players aren't against an 18 game season. They just want to be paid for an 18 game season. The NFL wants to convert the 17 to 18 game season at the same total pay as a 17 game season. While the NFLPA wants a 1/17th pay increase to their members for switching to a longer regular season. If it were up to NFLPA, there would be no preseason games. But the NFL has enjoyed charging full price to season ticket holders for preseason games while paying the players peanuts and consumers still watching in large enough numbers and attending and buying concessions in enough numbers to still be worth it to them.

Because that was one of the reasons the NFL went to 17 game season. Wanted that extra game so teams weren't giving up their 8th home game to play overseas.

Yeah. If FCD moved out they'd be scheduling the turf to be installed that same day.

Toyota Stadium was partly funded by Frisco ISD and houses roughly third to half the district's high school football games each weekend. And I'm sure FISD would love to have it all to themselves without working around FC Dallas games.

The only suburban stadium I could see happening with MLS would be a new New England stadium or if Atlanta ever even considered moving from Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Sell new merch with the new logo....

In the days before every conference having a conference championship game, the other conferences would have regular season games the weekend of the conference championships. And Army/Navy was always on that weekend. Usually the first of the day. While the SEC and Big XII games would be sometime in that late afternoon and evening. It went up against some games. But, was usually fairly noteworthy on its own. Then came the 'every conference has twelve teams and a championship game' and it got overlooked in the lineup. That's why it got the preferential treatment to move back another week. It's the one game in all of college football I'm okay with getting a pass to do something unique. And I think most college football fans are either indifferent or supportive of having its own weekend. With the playoff looming larger, it'll be interesting to see how they work it into the overall college football schedule. Especially if either of them two are ever in consideration as an at-large.
