Obviously defense was a problem last year, and Henry doesn’t yet have a track record that leads one to jump to the conclusion that improvement is imminent. But what the hell do his post-game pressers have to do with anything? You expect him to come out and say what changes he expects to make to give a heads up to the next opponents’ offenses so you are “told something”? Definitely need to see improvements on D, and we’ll have a better idea if Henry is the guy who can bring that about after this year. Could care less about “improvements” in his post game pressers though.

Season ticket holders had early access starting on the 29th.
I think for me it was more venting my frustration than anything. I agree that he’s not gonna say anything to give it away it just seemed like there were no changes to give away regardless. Trotted out the same undisciplined defense every week.
There's also various presale codes, although it didn't work when I tried to buy

Oh, yeah. That made November Saturday afternoons up in the east balcony much warmer and more pleasant. I believe I still have that bota somewhere.How us old folks kept warm back in the White / Mackovic days.
The UI Alumni Association emailed me in Virginia a couple years ago asking whether I'd be interested in a UI affinity license plane in VA. The rep said that they were in contact with the VA DMV about it. I responded hellz yeah and noted to myself that we have quite a few alums, not only in Northern VA but all over the state, so was optimistic about this getting done. Out of the BT you can currently get OSU, Michigan, Penn State, and Maryland plates. Plus Notre Dame. They even have a Texas A&M plate.
They then emailed me back around six months later telling me that they'd had such paltry alumni response to their inquiry that they couldn't reach the threshold of interest that the DMV set, which was (IIRC) around 100. Sad, but it has been my experience living around the country that our alums have relatively low attachment to the university in this way.
My elder brain might be blocking out memories of some slightly-lower quality beverages...Boone's Farm, Mad Dog, Night Train. Pretty sure Jack was at least an occasional visitor though.

likely due to our crappy football record the past 35 - 40 years
I can just about guarantee you a much more enthusiastic alumni base if our football record was similar to Wiscy or Iowa

Oh my GOD, DIA, why do you refuse to let me give you my money for cool Script apparel like this?!
Yeah, what's up with that? Someone prod Robert to investigate.

Memories..............(spot on!)
Jack and Coke. Frequently.
Seems like the only responsible plan is to thank your FiL for the tickets and hand him your kid. Everybody wins.Not sure through the "official" channels, but the cheapest tickets on StubHub right now are $88. There seem to be quite a few tickets available in the lower bowl for $115-$140, though. Not terrible.
My father in law is a Cubs season ticketholder (and unfortunately a Hawkeye fan, lol), and he keeps asking me if we want him to get us tickets ... and he'd presumably pay for them. So, I am a real moron for not just going that route. However, I need to make sure that our little one (7 months old right now) has a suitable babysitter, which is slightly more difficult on Thanksgiving Weekend! Lol. Might just leave him at one of our parents' house and drive back to Chicago on Friday for the game and come back for him on Sunday.
Good on ya, Luke. Really excited to see a big year for you and for the offense!
I’ll be praying that you will see the plays in front of you in slow motion and that Jesus will be your protector and guard. Good luck Luke!
