    Brooks' Leg

    Sneaker lift could be an EVENup. Keeps non-booted foot at same level as booted foot. https://opedmedical.com/evenup-orthotic-shoe-lift-landing-page/

    Disappointing but a convergence of things in the Duke loss

    Because of a torn Achilles and need to use a knee scooter, the good people at NU Athletics transferred my season tickets to the ADA front section of the North end zone. The rabbit ran about 10 feet from our seats. Close to the field, it was very, very windy. The only windier game I’ve...

    Is Gragg our Bighead?

    Big Head’s greatest line: “… billionaires” Justin Jackson the Ball Carrier was Peter Gregory’s narrow car. As Fitz used to say, “He runs skinny through the holes”. Big Head and Peter Gregory’s narrow car rule.

    An observation

    At the start of the season, I was surprised when Coach Braun said that both D and O lines would be the reason for victories at the end of the year. He predicted it.

    Is there any positive sentiment at all for old Ryan/Dyche?

    Like the basketball stadium before it was remodeled, I like the old Ryan Field. I’ll be sorry to no longer have 45 yard line, 37th row season tickets if they more than double the cost.

    Mel Tucker beats Fitz yet again

    “Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.” Prop comics breathe sigh of relief (using wheezing rubber chickens to imitate relief-sighing).

    My comments from section 130*

    I was also in Section 130. I love the stadium the way it is, too. I saw the water on the floor in the bathroom. On another night, I might have gutted it out, but I turned around and went to another one on the lower level that was dry. Two sweet victories in one night 🥳.

    Declining the Penalty on the Punt

    AJ and Coco’s speed may have something to do with the choice to prepare the field to support faster play. I can’t remember a time when NU had two very fast guys returning kick offs from the goal line together. I’m looking forward to seeing more return opportunities as the weather changes.

    Eating Crow
