It's, oh, 27 hours until Illinois and Northwestern kick off. But they'll be kicking off in one direction, every time, because one end zone goes right up against the brick and ivy walls [of Wrigley Field]....All offensive possessions will head toward the West end zone. That means, if there's a fumble recovery or an interception, both teams will pack up and move to the other end of the field to make sure the drives aren't going East.

Deadspin. Further proof that Big Ten football is a joke. It's not like the dimensions of a football field or Wrigley Field have changed in the past six months.
