FFS.  This is 'Murica...more more more of something already excessive.  We can promote a game that 12 people will attend and still make a little money?  Let's do it!

bowl game in Wrigley doesn't interest me - I've been there for a baseball game

I do have friends in Chicago, so I won't say it would never happen if the Huskers played in that bowl

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on the other hand has open golf courses during bowl season and I have a friend 2 1/2 hrs south near Charleston.

Does Myrtle Beach have a baseball diamond that could seat 15,000?

Yeah, where's the game gonna be at Myrtle Beach  (which to me is not much of a destination)?  The Cubs have an affiliate in Myrtle Beach.  No way is that place bigger than 7,000.  Myrtle Beach felt like a very dated Wisconsin Dells when I passed through not too long ago.   Yes, there are plenty of places to golf, both north and south of Myrtle Beach.    Myrtle Beach has got nothing on Charleston or Hilton Head as far as a place to be in SC.

He's probably right, but damn. He shouldn't denigrate his entire team like that. He's also 3 recruiting classes in, right? So...

27 more than his Cougar teams had, and they used to take down Texas with regularity.

I like that it means he physically counted them.  If he had just said "two dozen" or "thirty" you could write it off to hyperbole.

The “Marty Smith’s America” segment with Scott Frost in the Grand Canyon airs Thursday at 7 p.m. CDT on ESPN.

“In this episode of Marty Smith’s America we pushed ourselves to show these coaches in a different manner than what we see Saturday afternoons on sidelines all across this nation. We went from Omaha Beach in Normandy to the mouth of the Colorado River deep within the Grand Canyon to take you inside the minds and lives of the biggest names in the game,” said Smith.

The episode will feature four different coaches segments including:

Touring France with Jim Harbaugh

Smith joins Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines on their trip to France to see the sites and to pay homage to the troops that lost their lives at Normandy Beach. 
 Pickup Basketball with Nick Saban

Smith goes one-on-one in a game of hoops with Alabama football coach Nick Saban.
Hiking the Grand Canyon with Scott Frost

Smith embarks on a 20-mile hike through the Grand Canyon with Nebraska’s new football coach Scott Frost.
Roping Cattle with Jimbo Fisher

Texas A&M football coach Jimbo Fisher discusses his new stop at College Station while working some cattle.

There's 3 options.
They have a 5,000 seat soccer/mulipurpose stadium in Myrtle Beach.  
They have a 9,000 seat motor speedway, so it could be like that Tennessee/VA Tech game inside the oval.
OR most likely
Coastal Carolina (5 miles inland) has a 9,200 seat football stadium with teal fieldturf.

I think it’s pretty messed up Mendenhall said something like that publicly.  I’d love for a player to respond by saying that he’s not sure Mendenhall is an ACC caliber coach.

When has Virginia ever been good?  Welsh was lauded for having many consecutive 7-win seasons.  WHOA!!!  7 wins!!!

Even as I researched the best single-season teams of every P5 school the past 40 years, Virginia's finished 8-4.  They were ranked #1 at some point during that season, but 8-4 as the best season of the last 40 is awful.

They went 10-3 in 1989. They won nine games five times between 1994 and 2007.
Welsh had 16 winning seasons in 19 years, though nine were 7-4 or 7-5. Groh won 8 or 9 games four times in nine years, but had three 5-7 teams. 
In short, they’re a mid-tier program. Their ceiling hasn’t been high, their floor occasionally low. They’ve been oddly consistent at being competitive, at least until the London mess (which oddly did hurt their rivals)
