Ya, I'll pick the greedy choice and make it my own pleasure of being back @PAS!

#2: Zach & OL (+ RECs!)
#3: OC

Don't care about the new QBs!  If all goes well we won't ever see one except on SY!  I guess as the #1 Sneak Fan I'm curious who they trot out... and how good he is.  My year will be totally ruined if the dude is anything less than 90% on must-gain.  I would prefer 95% right off the bat, 99% even better.

Generally want to see what new faces bring to the team. Veteran additions during free agency brought some known talent. The question is what rookies make the roster and where.

Did we find the next Lawler or Schoen? Did we find the next Alford or Nichols?

I voted new QBS

I think TE is going to be big news this year.  Can't help but think about Ol' Terrance Edwards when I type TE, lol

Football from now until February!

Seeing if we can climb back into contention this year.

I don't see the. Point of the thread much. The options all relate to each other.

Rule changes

Going to the stadium is always a blast and doesn't break the bank.

QBs as well. I really have no idea what to expect outside of Collaros and Elgersma making the roster. Still have those other 3 QBs fighting for 1 spot and 1 PR spot.

Seeing as Elgersma fits the category of 'new', I'm itchin' to see this guy perform live...I think he's the real deal and most likely in time will be Zach's replacement..His demeanor for so young a qb is very promising

How about new food items

The only one visible to most people in '26 will be the 35s clock.  And many casuals won't even notice that.

I expect keystone cops by all teams trying to get the snap off in 35s!!  Just think about the scenarios where they are slow to put the spot on a 3rd & 1-3 in FG range... HCs will have zero time to ponder FG vs gamble, not to mention getting the correct unit out in time!!  I think there will be a ton of timecounts and a ton more too-many-men.

On plays where the O is off the field and coming on, they may have to pre-huddle on the sidelines to figure out the play call.  There simply won't be time to trot out AND huddle.  The hoggies have to trot out possibly 50Y downfield and 30Y across...

I have a feeling we'll have to adjust to a 40s clock.  How can we possibly do it faster than the NFL, with the bigger field and far more incompetent officials!

Still time to reverse the crazy stuff coming in '27.

Hopefully someone can give a review and the price, looks like a good platter

Ya, I'm definitely doing to try that one out.  Maybe first game?  It'll be tough to sacrifice my shawarma though... haven't had one in 7 months and I'm jonesing!

My son is really excited for the pulled port & bbq brisket.  Pulled pork is like his favorite new thing.

I bet that platter won't be cheap though.  Looks like could easily be $40.  Hopefully under $50.  Should feed my whole crew, though.  And hopefully they'll also have a smaller "just the pulled pork" option.  It'll depend on how good or lame the sides are...

My first thought was that it'd be at least $40.

Wow that's expensive but also a lot of food and looks to be decent quality

Expecting a full review fellas!!!

I made sure to get the details at PAS tonight:

$55 for the "BBQ for 2", and $65 for the full feast.  Ouchy ouch.  Much more than I had guessed, and even more than the Walby burger was, right?

Since Khan is gone I said OK, and ordered the $55.  After declining the $140 bill the till showed because the lady though my "BBQ for 2" was "2 full feasts", they got my order right and put it in.  They tell me 5 minutes.  Ok.

This is all 30-mins before kickoff.  200-level West.

I wait 10.  The lady comes over to tell me "oh, we don't have BBQ tonight".  I'm like, uh... couldn't have told me this 10 minutes ago?

So they refund me and I go to another concession for something else, but my "arrive early, avoid lines" trick was shot by then.  They promised me BBQ would be ready by next game.

I will say though the communication was clearly subpar, the staff there was very friendly and cheery.

Call it a fail on the part of WFC for their big new hyped high-$ food offering.  After going to another concession and waiting there too, finally got up to my kids in the stands; they had thought I had been killed I took so long!

Was trying hard to see what the "upgrades" to the jumbotron were.  Was it a whole new screen?  The N side one didn't have all the screwed up pixels/lines that it often does.  Maybe looked brighter?  Dunno.  Maybe someone else knows.

Rum Hut upgrade: was the actual thatched roof new?

The misting fan near the Rum Hut is always nice when passing by.
