Americas Most Loathed Highways | Gunther Volvo Cars Daytona Beach

An interesting list, I think, if perhaps not what we'd individually think.  Most of them refer to frequent congestion (duh).  Georgia had only one (I285).  The Downtown Connector here is usually highly congested of course (I75/85) because they joined two major freeways into one and never built the parallel freeway as had been planned.

Looks about right to me, from what I hear from folks that go to a lot more stadiums than I do.

"About right" really is good enough.  I've been for about six of those places, I didn't see much TGing around the Vol stadium at all, just a few isolated tents.  I was told most of it is elsewhere.  Maybe the Navy thing helps them.  Ole Miss was definitely Out There.

I thought Kentucky was pretty solid.  UGA is good because you have a very treed north campus where some of it happens and is nice, and south campus is where Game Day usually sets up, it's at least a lot of TGing.

I vaguely recall being in college and seeing folks coming to the game in pickup trucks eating a pregame meal out of the back of the truck.  I kinda viewed them as being too poor to afford restaurant food, or something.  It was not a big deal back then at all.

Check out this article excerpt from ESPN's all-CFP team of the decade:
If Henry's 2015 season set the standard for running backs, it was Taylor's career at Wisconsin that created the blueprint for consistent greatness. There have been 17 player seasons during the playoff era in which a tailback racked up 1,900 yards on the ground. Taylor is responsible for three of them. He finished his four-year Badgers career with 6,174 yards on the ground, the fourth-most all time (and second only to Donnel Pumphrey in the playoff era). He's the only player in history with multiple 2,000-yard seasons. He finished in the top 10 of Heisman voting three times. Taylor's Wisconsin teams made the Big Ten title game three times (2016, 2017 and 2019) but lost all three, leaving one true void on his résumé: reaching the playoff.
.
2 glaring errors.....just sloppy.

Make that 3. Taylor was in high school in 2016.

Continued excellence in innovation helped the University of Nebraska improve its ranking among the world’s leading academic institutions for earning patents.

In a recent report from the National Academy of Inventors, the NU system ranks 73rd worldwide after earning 46 U.S. utility patents in 2023. Nebraska was No. 79 in 2022 and has now been included in the top 100 list for seven consecutive years.

Among U.S. institutions, Nebraska is No. 55. Within the growing Big Ten, Nebraska is tied with Indiana and Rutgers, ahead of Michigan State and Penn State. Iowa and Oregon are not ranked in the top 100.

“This is further proof that together as one team, Nebraska can compete with the best of the best,” said Chris Kabourek, interim president of the NU system. “I’m incredibly proud that the talents and creativity of our faculty are being recognized in this way. Not only does their work position Nebraska in elite company, but more importantly, the discoveries of our faculty are growing our economy and improving the lives of Nebraskans and people around the world.”

Patents are granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to the university’s technology transfer offices — NUtech Ventures at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and UNeMed Corp. at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and University of Nebraska at Omaha. These patents deliver innovation in key areas, including health care, agriculture, engineering and biotechnology, to the marketplace. They result in new startup companies, jobs and university-licensed products that grow the Nebraska economy and improve quality of life worldwide.

“Improving Nebraska’s place in this ranking reflects the commitment of our faculty to pursue innovative ideas that deliver real-world solutions,” said UNL Chancellor Rodney D. Bennett. “The positive impacts of this research are incredible — launching startups companies; generating local jobs; and offering career-shaping lab experiences to our students that have them ready to work on day one.

Although the Huskers have gone from royalty to being obsolete, the University of Minnesota has the patent on that.
