Northwestern Vs. Illinois: The Myriad Dangers Of Wrigley Field!

SB Nation’s Maize N Brew brings their own insouciant take to existing concerns about the dimensions of the football field that’s been constructed for this weekend’s Northwestern-Illinois game:

Oh man. It’s going to be awesome. I can see it now, fade to the back of the endzone and then.... fade to black. This just will not end well. The NCAA’s insatiable lust for dolla dolla bills y’all has turned our beloved game into arena football. Even so, I’m willing to forgive. Face it folks, one of the most exciting things about football is the injuries. You never know when you’re going to see the next Protho, Theisman or this poor schmuck end their careers in a horrifying, gruesome way. Is it any coincidence that All-State Insurance is sponsoring this and making the game of miserable life threatening injuries, more dangerous? No. It’s just a coincidence. Move on.
