The only conclusion I can reach after seeing some of these throws is that he must be a gawd-awful decision maker in in-game situations. UCONN played 3 QBs last year (he wasn't one of them, and he wasn't red shirting...don't know if he was injured) and they were all three pretty bad. For this guy not to have gotten on the field at all...

Western Michigan did that and their stadium looks like a monstrocity. Size is less important I think than presentation on South Green Drive which is going to drive the impression on whether its a nice facility or not. From what I'm hearing it sounds like the building will be an adjunct to rec center though seperate and the multi purpose billing will serve to think of it more as a student facility that just happens to also be the IPF. As I have said above if it looks nice on the outside and fills out the athletics mall along south green drive it will be a success.

My initial guess is that if they don't connect it with Peden, it may be to appease the football/athletics haters in Athens. wmu2 wmu3 ben Back to Top TWT General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Alexandria, VA Post Count: 5,195 Status: Offline     RE: UConn QB    Posted: 2/14/2011 6:25:27 PM  mcbin wrote: FWIW, I think Western Michigan's IPF looked pretty sweet, and would be happy if Ohio could do the same. But since our end zones really don't have a lot of empty space behind them, probably not feasible.

Count me in that hater group because a football only facility of that magnitude is a waste of resources. The IPF sounds like its going to be a pretty basic deal but better than an inflatable structure.
