Illinois v. Northwestern at Wrigley

[state5]

Just read on espn where they will only use 1 endzone for the game because of safety concerns with the outfield wall. How do you think that's gonna work?

I also heard that this is not the configuration used when da Bears played there.

something to the effect of "if an outfielder can run into it without pads, then we can run into with pads on"

Way to look out for your players

Still dangerous, but better than theone they are not going to use. That one had the outfield wall come right up to the center back line of the endzone.

This kind of **** is why you are the SEC's *****. You bunch of fruity ******* obviously don't take football seriously. Go play intramurals.

Vandy would never do this!

My guess is that there are issues with players making diving catches or getting slammed by others in the back of the endzone.

What SHOULD follow is that they take the field with no facemasks.

Having seen the female's at Northwestern, I am willing to bet money that 90% of them have bushes that look like they have buckwheat in leg lock. They need to have a deal like the students painting the helmets at ND a couple nights before the game.But instead of painting helmets, them trim their bushes and use the trimmings to pad the right and center field walls.

If I'm reading this correctly, they'll both be on one side, split at the 50 (I guess). I assume that since they're talking about west and east end zones, the opposide sidelines would be north/south, not east/west. Maybe this is so that the fans on the 1st base line can see?

</p>

• After every change of possession, the ball will be repositioned for the offense to head toward the west end zone.</p>

</p>

• As a result of a coin toss held by the conference office Friday morning, Illinois will occupy the west team bench in the first half and Northwestern will occupy the west team bench in the second half and for all overtime periods.</p>
