The city of Chicago is apparently considering a dome for Soldier Field…why would any cold weather city give up their home-field advantage? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

-The rumored dome is a response to potentially building a new stadium in Arlington Heights, and is just a discussion right now

-The Lions and Vikings already have domes in the NFC North, and the Packers and Bears are outside. Doesn’t a dome take away the home field advantage in the cold?

Will you find yourself tracking USC and UCLA more than usual this season or not really care about them until 2024 when the play in the B1G for the first time? Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

A backup Husker QB reveals a different picture of Scott Frost’s involvement in the offense than usual…is less Frost the answer to positive change? Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

-It sounds weird saying it like that, but some fans might already feel that way. Backup QB Matt Masker said recently that new offensive coordinator Mark Whipple really is in charge of the offense, and Scott Frost has taken a back seat

-This gets back to the idea of Frost being a CEO rather than a highly-involved coach in calling plays. Is this a role he can accept? Is it best for the team to achieve success?

-If you’re Frost, it kind of feels like an ego check. What if the team does a lot better with you doing less? Can he embrace that, and know that it only makes him look good with more wins?
