Wow...Seriously...Wow

I'm in grad school with a girl from UCONN (and have managed to get her to root for The Old Green and White when it doesn't conflict with her UCONN loyalties) and we've been discussing this video. 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...

Spent some time at Patriots camp last summer and the QB's spent a lot of time between drills throwing into trash cans.

Not surprisingly, Tom Brady was significantly better at putting it in the can than the Brian Hoyer.

This has my vote for best picture of the year.

How do you know this about the design?

Where is the IPF then going to be? And will it be directly attached to Peden?

The present plan is detached and in the area of the practice fields.  For a number of reasons, not the least of which is that only one position in the entire athletic program's field of play, punter, would benefit from an 80 foot tall structure.  It would also be an aesthetically awkward structure if it were higher significantly higher than the Peden East stands and Ping.  Finally, once you get the base structure speced out it would take another $1.5-2MM to add each additional 10 feet in height, and there isn't just isnt the cash to put that kind of bank into the building, which I think shows good fiscal restraint by the University.  You have to remember, nearly everyone is going to want a building that fits in aesthetically due to the proximity of it to the rest of the campus, and the really big IPF's typically set apart from the rest of their campus in an athletic "Campus", which allows you to build a monstrosity without is looking out of place.

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.

My initial guess is that if they don't connect it with Peden, it may be to appease the football/athletics haters in Athens.
