The band plays in the rec building (right across the street from the stadium and next door to the bubble. For an 11 AM kick, they'll start playing at 9:45.
Bring this up next week and you'll probably be able to get an answer. The band typically gets the music the Tuesday before a game, so, with the exception of the staff and maybe a few others, they won't know the music until after the ISU game.
I don't think those games will be at the end of the season because the Big Ten is not going to want to have those games back to back if each is on top of their division. I think the last weekend of the regular season will be intra-divisional games.
The patch last year was because the wrong version of the rosters made it into the final build of the game somehow. That didn't happen this year, so no patch.
Freedom of speech doesn't extend to a private message board. You are free to have your own opinion, but Jon is well within his rights to decide what will and won't be on the site that he owns. And based on the way that other thread was going, I think it was the right decision.
I know this isn't much sooner, but I know you can contact the ticket office in July and they'll tell you. I've done that the last few years to find out where my seats are.
A few years ago, when the band got new uniforms, the Athletic department chipped in some of the cost, thought they did cancel the road B10 game as a result.
Ferentz has always seemed supportive as well. Every year he comes to camp to speak for 15 minutes or so.
You don't have to donate. Both endzones are for people that don't donate any money. That's where my friends and I have seats and none of us give anything.
There is almost no way Moeaki lasts until the 7th. There will be a team that will take a chance on him in an earlier round. He has too much upside when healthy. I think he'll go in the 3rd somewhere.
