During a conversation with a friend this week, someone actually argued that NFL stadiums are harder to play in as an opposing player than college venues. He was advised to read this weekly column before the author had a good laugh.
As is customary, here are the past week’s top five atmospheres:

One might argue that almost every college football fan in America should have a night game at “The Big House” on the ole bucket list. It’s truly a special place.

With a win on Saturday against Michigan State, Purdue became the first unranked football team in FBS history to defeat two top-5 teams in the same season. Can you blame the city of West Lafayette for partying until the sun came up?
