    At the game, Cheez-Its will cost $3.99, Rold Gold Pretzels will run $5.95, peanuts are priced at $7.65, and a bottle of water will set fans back $6.95. For those looking for a more alcoholic option, “BuzzBallz” are available for $10.95, with domestic bottled beer priced at $12.65, premium bottled beer at $14.95, and premium draft beer at $16.55.

    McMurphy also shared another photo from a different concession stand, showing that chips are $3.45, a Greek Dog costs $12.55, and a Specialty Dog is $12.89.

    I don't understand after making millions why do you want to work after 70.

    In that article Saban said, "we always tried to do it the right way."

    Something my brother told me, that I haven't corroborated although he's usually up on all things college football, is that Alabama, and I think the SEC in general, will rescind the scholarship of a student athlete if they have a really bad or career ending injury. Apparently, the B1G doesn't do that. So AL will always have 85 players on scholarship whereas B1G teams often have less.

    If true, doing it "the right way" doesn't seem entirely accurate, does it?

    I don't believe Texas A&M does that, so it doesn't seem to be universal in the SEC at least. Here's an example from 2014.


    They've also had numerous QBs go out with season ending injuries over the past 3 years, and none were taken off of scholarship.

    I once worked with a guy who played outside linebacker with the longhorns for two seasons, (back up and situational) with a full-ride scholarship and suffered a severe knee injury. He recieved all the medical help he'd need but did lose his scholarship.

    I am switching back and forth between this game and the Lions pre-seasons game. Good to have college football back.

    That ended up being a hell of a game with GT pulling the upset on a walk off field goal.

    I really don't understand some Brits' love for American football. Or, at least, college American football. The boyfriend of a friend of mine is a huge Nebraska fan. They even flew over from England to Lincoln, a year ago, just to see a game. And for important games, they'll stay up into the wee hours to watch.

    He's also the head coach of an American football team in Norwich, called the Norwich Devils.

    We love sport, pretty much all sport, anyone prepared to watch 5 day cricket matches has plenty of tolerance.

    ^ Good point, Ian. And for that matter, I really don't understand Brits' love for cricket.

    Detroit Lions receiver Amon Ra St. Brown runs a football camp in Germany (his mother is German and he speaks the language fluently). He has been really lobbying for the Lions to play a game in Germany in the near future.

    I live in a house divided today as my Western Michigan University Broncos take on my wife's Wisconsin Badgers tonight in a prime time repeat of the 2016 Cotton Bowl. Unfortunately, these are not the 2016 Broncos. The spread is 23.5 so just kind of hoping they can hang in there. Both teams are on year 2 of rebuilds with new coaches.

    If I were you, I'd divorce her. Not because she''s a Badgers fan but because she's not supporting my team.

    That said, as an outsider, I have to side with your wife.

    They had 3 great interception chances that guys dropped. Not having our star receiver is hurting our offence and that Wisconsin running back is a one man wrecking crew. Still.....we are hanging in there so far.
