Even in death, college football fans want to be at their favorite stadiums

Superfans are telling their loved ones that they have one request: Spread my ashes on the field.

Nebraska wants to put a crypt for fans ashes under the stadium

My parents, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece took some of my brother's ashes to scatter in various places that were important to him. One place they wanted to do it was Kinnick Field in Iowa City. So my nephew and sister-in-law went there one day when they were visiting my niece with the intention of scattering some on the field. The gates were locked. Then my nephew wanted to just scatter some outside the gates, but my sis talked him out of it, arguing (quite appropriately) that they would probably be swept up relatively quickly and thrown away.

I feel like a quest to spread my ashes at Folsom would descend into a Seinfeldian escapade that would end up with my ashes in a trash can while at least one of my kids talked to the CUPD.

Drone crop dusting.
 
Oops, looks like Bill Connelly didn't pass high school history.

In the history of top-division college football, there have been 14,788 teams; only three have had their win percentage fall by more than that, and two played during World War I: 1917 Colorado State (from 6-0-1 to 0-7-1), 1919 Colorado Mines (from 4-0 to 0-4-2) and 2012 Southern Miss (from 12-2 to 0-12).

From 13-0 to 1-9: How historically bad has Florida State's collapse been?

Bill Connelly puts the Seminoles' free fall in perspective and looks at other teams that have had similar drop-offs.

I can’t even mock them for this. If CU offered to have my ashes placed at Folsom upon my death, I’d do it lol.

Not sure where because my demise would have to occur during a construction project for this to work. But I’d like my ashes to be used in a batch of concrete. Preferably not for restrooms or sewage treatment plants.

Technically Mines 4-0 season would have been 1918 if I am reading that correctly that the year listed is the collapse year. So 1918 would have been during WW1.

I get your point.

It's incredibly poorly worded. If his argument is that sending boys off to Europe to fight in WWI contributed to demise of a school's football program, he ought to have said that "one of those teams played during Word War I, during which that team's players volunteered etc. etc." But by the fall of 1919 the war had been over for damn near a year; hell, programs weren't losing players to draft anymore (that ended in the beginning of the summer of 1919). If anything, the smarter thing might have been to bring up the Spanish flu pandemic (but again, Bill Connelly is an idiot). In any event, it doesn't make much sense to say that a team that was better at the tail end of WWI (4-0) was somehow made worse by the end of hostilities and the return of US soldiers from France (last combat units left in September 1919).

In sum, Bill Connelly and ESPN's writers are morons.

They were only good 'cause all the other teams sucked or were missing players. I could see players at mines being there because the army needs engineers.

We have a new king of crashouts…😂😂😂 #Alabama LB and former 5-star Keanu Koht was suspended from the team following a comment made on social media regarding Coach Deboer’s oldest daughter. Koht reportedly direct messaged her on Instagram and asked if she “wanted this horse” followed by a picture.

Diabolical thing to say in general. But especially to the head coaches daughter :ROFLMAO:

Wouldn't matter who's daughter, that isn't acceptable. Worse when it's the coaches daughter because he can impose consequences immediately but not acceptable.
