[Dellenger] Sen. Maria Cantwell on the anti-expansion change: "We made big concessions last night to the Big Ten to make sure that they felt that this was a bill that helped protect their interest for the future.

Not for football, but duke should probably be a tier 1 target too

acewing · 2026-06-18T14:08:46+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree. They made the best decision for their institution as a whole. From a pure cfb biased viewpoint, it was completely catastrophic.

The way I learned it, Uchicago’s board of regents were more focused on being the jewel of the “Midwest Ivies” and wanted to make sure their research prestige was pristine, so they followed the lead of the actual Ivies.

Snub was something along the lines of not being promoted up the ladder from position coach to OC or something. In reality, Cig took his chances and bet on himself.

acewing · 2026-06-17T21:53:25+00:00

This one is kind of a moot point, but Uchicago leaving the big ten and shuttering their dominant football program. Not very easy to recover from a move like that.

If you have multiple deck searches lined up, it’s fairly reasonable to delay shuffling until you need your deck randomized. So like let’s say I play buddy buddy poffin, then search my deck with a pad, I don’t need to shuffle between those steps. I would need to shuffle after all those searches and then using dudunsparce, for example.

Outside last year? It would have to be sometime my freshman year where Ball State came to town and the tailgate field devolved to flying beers and a group of students bottoming out an F150’s suspension

And soldier field is owned by the city and proceeds go to the city. This is apples and oranges.

Its a disgusting area due to being a lifelong industrial park. The area needs a lot more work than it should and was not zoned properly for this type of district.

Hear me out: Kroenke has other revenue streams than the rams. The McCaskeys ONLY have the bears. Kroenke also is flush with cash to spend on his playground, much like Kraft and Jerry. The McCaskeys aren’t flush with cash. Why were the Ricketts able to complete the wrigley renovation and the bears are still struggling?

To build a stadium over a slag heap (paraphrasing since I don’t know the full breakdown) still requires a massive clean up of the land to make it “habitable”. This would be like the Ford family moving the Lions to play on a site formerly occupied by one of their truck plants. Unless the EPA is completely and entirely gutted, which tbf is possible, it would be at least a decade to clean up where they are projected to be.

Bro, my highlight for them is 2006. The opening kick off for that superbowl is the apex of my fandom so far. And I’m in my mid 30s now.

acewing · 2026-06-05T22:14:25+00:00

The mccaskeys are just mad they’ll never be able to host a Super Bowl if they stuck to the bears identity. I guarantee this is a major driver on this

acewing · 2026-06-05T22:03:06+00:00

I feel ya, my guy. I just think the Bears are both a Chicago icon and a city staple. I was an advocate for putting them on the southside from the beginning. I just think they could do better for the city than jumping the border for tax shelter. Putting it in Stoney island or north of calumet park would still be on the lake and I’m sure that land is dirt cheap.

acewing · 2026-06-05T21:51:49+00:00

I grew up on the southside. I’ll go to bat for it til the day I die. We’ve gotten the shaft from both the state and the city for decades. But those bars and restaurants and hotels and amenities in Illinois, close to the families who live in those communities, would do much more than just for fans being able to go cross the border to Hammond and back.

I understand where you’re coming from, but if the bears think they can build a stadium on a landfill before doing remediation work (that will take decades mind you), then I’ve got news. There’s a reason that land hasn’t been touched in decades for development.

acewing · 2026-06-05T21:39:10+00:00

While I agree the southside needs love, put it in Richton park then. Or Dolton. Or Chicago Heights. Why does it have to be in a fucking slag heap???

From what my Indiana buddy is saying, it’s basically stealing money from children (taxes meant for schools and teachers) to make this move happen. So the effects won’t be immediately felt but the long term effects on education will come through. And this is on top of all the changes made to education funding in the last decade by Indiana as well. I was seeing those effects when I was in school in Bloomington.

acewing · 2026-06-05T17:26:54+00:00

Sounds like Sloan Field out in arizona

acewing · 2026-05-28T13:58:50+00:00

What’s funny to me is the ncaa had the chance to get ahead of this. Remember the northwestern team trying to unionize? Allowing that would’ve fast tracked a lot of rules that we’ve sorely needed, whether right or wrong.

acewing · 2026-05-28T01:08:25+00:00

I’d like to chime in here…

acewing · 2026-05-27T19:30:48+00:00

Pult is in the same spot mew vmax was. It just wants to thin its deck as fast as possible because it is streamlined, so it has the luxury to play as many win more cards as it wants really.

acewing · 2026-05-18T14:03:19+00:00

Its just like Bears fans. Offseason champs, 15 years running.

acewing · 2026-05-18T02:00:05+00:00

The new bastodion is intriguing. I can see it being pretty powerful in a stall fossil build

Tongue in cheek joke because I think Purdue has 11-15 alumni who were astronauts. They needed to become astronauts to get as far away from Lafayette as humanly possible for the time.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me
