For those of you who forgot, or maybe never knew. George Washington actually had a civilian gig before he was a Revolutionary War general and President. He was a surveyor.... Here we are, 250 years after he put down those tools - and not only is he needed in the city named after him, it looks like Wrigley Field ould use his help as well!
Today is officially Rivalry Week in college football, but it's also unofficially Football in Pro Stadium Week. Army plays Notre Dame (go Army!) in the new Yankee Stadium's first football game, Penn State is playing Indiana at Fed Ex Field (??), and the Battle of Chicago takes place when Northwestern and Illinois take the field at Wrigley today. Wait.... make that HALF FIELD ....
We shit you not. Apparently, and you can see from the above picture, the 100 yards barely squeeze into tiny Wrigley. It's so tight, that the left field side end zone almost abuts the brick wall. Since most Red Zone plays often go past the end zone - thus causing probable traumatic injury - the game will be played on the right field side exclusively...
Yeah... Once the ball crosses midfield, the drive will spin 180 degrees around,and go back towards the end zone they just left. Unless there is a 50-plus yard play, no touchdowns will be scored in the Northwestern end zone - causing the school to lose valuable free advertising, and the loss of football recruits, along with Law and Med School candidates. The impact on the university could be devastating for years to come....
Is this stupid? Of course... How everyone set this game up, and NO ONE bothered to realize the field would be too small borders on retarded.... Meanwhile, we can tell our kids that we remembered the 'Left Turn, Clyde' game of 2010. Nice job, jackasses. So, who is to blame for this? Wait a second.. Wrigley? Chicago? Obama ???? George, please help us..
