Cubs Logic

8 months ago, they had a great idea. Let's play a college football game between Illinois and Northwestern in Wrigley Field. It will be the first football game played in Wrigley since the Chicago Bears left for Soldier's Field 40 years ago.

What's the problem? Oh, you say there is a brick wall at the back of the east end zone? And maybe somebody could get hurt? Welcome to mamby pamby land. The monsters of the midway never complained...

No problem, we'll just change the rules a little bit. Both teams will now play toward the west end zone. What?

If you have ever been to Wrigley Field or just Chicago for that matter, there usually is a breeze off the lake. That's east to west for all of the geographically challenged out there. So, if there is a breeze tomorrow off the lake in Chicago, every kickoff is going right over the third base dugout and into the stands. All passes will be with the wind. And if you have seats in the right field area, all action will be going away from you. Sounds great.

Also sounds like the new owners of the Cubs and the Big Ten Conference are a little spacially challenged...and did I mention that the sun sets in the west?
