From the stadium: west side looks good, east side and horseshoe not so much. Tons of people tailgating. Win and they will start coming in. That’s the biggest thing.
The way this game is going, both teams may need to make a gentleman's agreement to settle this with an academic competition at halftime. Some math, some physics, some debate, just not football.
