FS: 2 or 4 Lower-Level Tickets Back Row in shade vs Iowa plus C3 Parking Pass

I'm looking to sell one of two options:

-Option 1: 2 tix lower-level Section 5 Row 35 Seats 3-4 with chair-backs installed near the aisle. These are very nice seats in the back row with lots of extra room behind the seats in front of the concrete wall. Due to being under the upper-deck overhang, you will also be in the shade the entire game due to game time. Price is $225/ticket ($450 total)

-Option 2: 4 tix lower level Section 5 Row 35 Seats 1-4 with chair backs installed on the aisle. This option would also include a C3 parking pass. $1,100 for the entire bundle.

I'm offering either option, but no variation of either option. Please PM me if interested.

I've always had the view that QB, while vital and central piece of a team's success, cannot lift a garbage franchise to championship levels of success without a supporting cast, as well as a solid infrastructure (coaching/management/ownership group)

Some of this is spurred by the "but look at all the weapons Purdy has!" Mahomes stepped into just as an ideal situation, obviously his raw talent gave him an edge, as did his production. Hurts plays for a very solid Eagles team. Cincinnati, while historically nothing to write much about is not devoid of talent at key positions and on both sides of the ball.

Is it the fault of the first pick qb unable to turnaround the Browns, Raiders or Jets? Or is the problem more systemic?

Found this video as I pondered the question myself:

2023 Bowl Projections

After week 1, Brett McMurphy currently has Iowa State projected to go to the Independence Bowl and face off against Washington State. He favors ISU to win by -3.5. There are currently 11 Big XII teams in his bowl projections, tied for most with the SEC. The SEC has a few more teams in the top bowls, while the Big XII has more in the lesser bowls. Still, it shows that there is a really strong base to the conference.

Any Air Jordan shoe geeks out there?

I'm not a shoe geek by any means. I have always had an affinity for old Air Jordans and just recently started trying to get some of the older ones.I think it's because the older I get the more nostalgic I become.

A guy at work recently introduced me to the damn Nike SNKRS app and I got a pair of 3s in white/cardinal last week and just got lucky this morning and snagged the '85 Georgetown 1s...really wanted those because when I was in high school that's what the basketball team wore when I was a freshman/sophomore/junior and those teams were really good so a lot of fun memories.

Wanting to get a pair of the 1s in the original red/white/black. I had a pair of white Air Force 1s when I was a freshman in high school that I colored to look just like those so it would be nice to get a "real" pair. Also want the original black 4s, had a pair of those in college and they're still my favorite shoe ever.

I really don't care about anything that came out after the 4s though.

Anyway, just wondering if there were any other Air Jordan nerds out there.
