  1. From Charles Fischer: The B1GGEST game for each team? No offense to Puddles, but the folks at Duck's Wire (USA Today) have laid a whole lot of B1G eggs with this take. Identifying the important game on the schedule for every Big Ten team in 2024 DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM A look at the most important football games on the schedule for every Big Ten team in the 2024 college season. I question Duck's Wire's choice of the following games. ILLINOIS - 9/21 at Nebraska. How about, the re-dedication of Memorial Stadium 100 years after 'The Red Grange Game' when Michigan visits on 10/19/24? In the victory over the Wolverines on October 18, 1924, in the opening 12 minutes, Red ran for four of his five TDs. He returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a TD and added TD runs of 67, 56, and 46 yards. He also threw a touchdown pass in the game to account for six TDs. Grange carried the ball 21 times and gained 402 yards. INDIANA - 9/28 vs. Maryland. How about, new head coach Curt Cignetti's first Old Oaken Bucket game vs. rival Purdue on 11/30/24? This will be the 127th Old Oaken Bucket game. MICHIGAN - 9/7 vs. Texas. How about, 11/30 in the Horseshoe vs. Ohio State? Duck's Wire, get a B1G Grip. There isn't a Michigan Man or Woman who would prefer a win over the Longhorns instead of defeating the hated Buckeyes for the fourth time in a row. Ohio State at Michigan in 2023 was CFB's most-watched regular season game with 19M+ viewers and will likely be the most-watched game in 2024. NEBRASKA - 10/19 at Indiana. How about, showing that the Huskers could be back and that true frosh QB Dylan Riola is the real deal with a home win against Prime and QB Shedeur Sanders when CU visits on 9/7? The final two games, 11/23 vs. Wisconsin and 11/29 at Iowa could be key to Nebraska being bowl-eligible for the first time since 2016. (2016!) The Two Os - Duck's Wire has Ohio State's visit to Oregon on 10/12 as the most important game for both teams. How about, The Big Game vs That Team Up North for Ohio State and head coach Ryan Day on 11/30 and Oregon and head coach Dan Lanning versus Washington on the same date as both teams and head coaches try to end a three-game losing streak versus its respective rival. The team that takes the loss in Autzen on 10/12 will have a chance at rematching in the B1G Conference Championship game. Penn State - 11/2 vs. Ohio State Sorry, Duck's Wire but PSU has announced that the Washington game on 11/9 will be the White Out game. Ohio State will likely kick off in the daylight, and be broadcast on Fox at Noon Eastern time. How about, a tough opener at West Virginia on 8/31 and conference away games at USC on 10/12 and at Wisconsin on 10/26? Ohio State will likely be a loss but PSU should be in good Playoff shape if it wins two of three vs. W VA, SC, and Wisconsin to finish 10-2. UCLA and USC - Duck's Wire picks UCLA at Minnesota on 10/12 and USC vs. LSU on 9/1. How about, 11/23 for new Bruins coach DeShaun Foster and his Bruins vs. SC? I get Duck's Wire being confused about the importance of B1G traditional rivalries but passing over The Crosstown rivalry game? How about, USC conference games at Michigan, Washington, and UCLA and vs. Penn State? The Trojans can lose to both LSU and Notre Dame and qualify for the B1G Conference Champ Game. WASHINGTON - 10/5 vs. Michigan How about, 11/30, Oregon in Eugene? THIS is UW's rivalry game and the game Husky fans most want to win. Ditto, Ducks fans. WISCONSIN - 9/14 vs. Alabama How about, conference games vs Penn State, Oregon, Minnesota, and on the road vs. Iowa, Nebraska, and USC? Like Texas at Michigan, Alabama visiting Camp Randall Stadium is a move-the-needle out-of-conference game but means nothing but pride when it comes to winning the B1G Conference. It's going to be B1G. First, Vandalize the Vandals!

  12. Just to set the record straight for our BIG Nebraska neighbors, below is Autzen total capacity. Expect, after the new indoor practice facility is built, they will move towards upgrading the stadium. Our stadium is ranked 13th in the Big Ten conference in size. So we are not the biggest, but we're not the smallest either. "Autzen Stadium in Eugene, home of the Oregon Ducks, is renowned for its crowd noise, but is it the loudest college football stadium? Recent success on the field has added to the excitement, making it a formidable venue. Despite its small capacity, Autzen Stadium is recognized as one of the top loudest stadiums in college football." "By the Numbers Autzen Stadium Capacity: 60,000 Highest Recorded Decibels at Autzen Stadium: 127 Yes, But Other notable stadiums like Tiger Stadium at LSU also boast high noise levels, challenging Autzen Stadium's title as the loudest. State of Play Husky Stadium in Washington holds the record for the loudest volume at a college stadium: 133.6 decibels. Ohio Stadium, Kyle Field, and Beaver Stadium are also known for their deafening crowd noise. What's Next As Oregon enters Big Ten conference play, the noise level at Autzen Stadium is likely to rise, potentially challenging LSU's Tiger Stadium for the top spot. Bottom Line Autzen Stadium may not be the largest, but its fans' passion and proximity to the field make it a powerhouse in creating a noisy and intimidating environment for visiting teams, solidifying its reputation as one of the loudest college football stadiums." Top 10 Loudest College Football Stadiums: Autzen Stadium Ranks 2nd, Oregon Ducks' Coach Impressed - BVM Sports BVMSPORTS.COM Autzen Stadium in Eugene, home of the Oregon Ducks, is renowned for its crowd noise, but is it the loudest college football stadium? Recent success on the field Autzen Stadium seating capacity: How big is the home of the Oregon Ducks? Looking to learn more about the Oregon football stadium? Let's go over how big the home of the Oregon Ducks happens to be. How big is Autzen Stadium? The home of the Ducks opened its doors back in 1967. Over its lifespan, Autzen Stadium, located in Eugene, Oregon, has undergone numerous renovations and a few expansions. If you’re wondering just how many seats are in Autzen Stadium, the answer is smaller than what some might expect. As of right now, a total of 54,000 Oregon football fans can show up at Autzen Stadium and get a seat, according to the Oregon Ducks athletics department. But, there have been occasions where more folks than that show up. While the official seating capacity of Autzen Stadium sits at 54,000, thanks to the magic of standing room only, attendance has surpassed that on multiple occasions. A grand total of 60,055 college football fans showed up to watch the Ducks face the Arizona State Sun Devils in 2011. As of right now, that seems to be the record for the stadium. Autzen Stadium isn’t exactly the biggest college football stadium in the country (it’s not, by a mile), but it certainly features an imposing atmosphere thanks to the way it’s designed. And while many college football programs are struggling to get fans into stadiums for home games, Oregon's uniquely shaped football stadium gives the Ducks an advantage.
