College Football 2016 Week 11 running thread

They probably need to address that, but Duke's stadium situation is light years better than what it was a few years ago. Perhaps that's next on the list.

 

I remember stories from when Alabama played there a few years ago about them having to scramble to arrange RV parking, since it apparently had never occurred to anyone to bring a motorhome to a Duke game before.

 

The visiting LR at WSU is in the Bohler Gym annex, adjacent to the stadium. Players go out a tunnel, it's not that long of a walk.

At OSU the visiting LR is in adjacent Gill Coliseum. You go up a ramp, leave the stadium, cross a street, then into the Coliseum.

At Washington the visiting LR is in Hec Edmondson Pavilion, adjacent to Husky Stadium. You go out a tunnel, down a hallway, then into Hec Ed.

At ASU the vising LR is located in an out building connected to SDS by a long tunnel. It's quite a hike.

Lots of schools are reluctant to spend $1 million or more on a room that used just 6-7 times a year, by someone else's athletes. Some of the visiting LRs in the Pac-12, especially Arizona, USC and Cal, are absolute dumps. They are really cramped, even with the travel squad capped at 65.

Caveat: Both WSU and UW have upgraded their stadiums since I've been there in a coverage capacity, so maybe the visiting LRs are now on-site. But they weren't in the not-too-distant past.

 

UNC's defense looking awful against Duke.

 

Carolina hasn't picked off a pass all year? That's some good defensive coordinatin' Gene Chizik.

 

I like how the chain gang guy in Tempe, Ariz., is randomly rocking a Dolphins cap like this is 1991 and he just got back from Champs Sports after spending his allowance on new gear.

 

Has Dennis Erickson never saved a penny in his life? Man's been a head coach at seven different colleges and twice in the NFL, now he's slumming it as Utah's running backs coach.

 

I had to look 3 times to make sure this was right.
What in the French fried fuck is going on with this line?
You couldn't pick up the phone fast enough. Bet it all on West By God.

Whoopsie.

 

Did it say "D-Nasty" on the side too?

 

Three hours on the football field gives his liver a nice midday break.

 

He's been there for four years at least. He loves to coach. He has a huge house on Lake Coeur d'Alene, still married to his first wife, and looks great. Can't speak for others but he was very media-friendly in the years I covered teams he coached and practices were always open. He has been more than cooperative in the ensuing years on followups, etc. His son was a high school coach in my area, I saw Denny at a game several years ago and he was very gracious and friendly to everyone who came up to speak to him, and there were a lot, as he is still very popular in Microville.
