2019 needed a 4th down pinpoint throw & catch against Fresno to send it to OT (along with the fact that if we have any other S than Antoine Winfield, Gophers probably lose game in OT) and a last second win which included a long 3rd & 4th down conversion on last drive to beat Georgia Southern...

When I was younger, I had a book called "Good Days, Bad Days." It was stories of about 10 or 12 different NFL players: one chapter would be about one of their best days in the NFL & the next would be about one of their worst days. Perich's night on Saturday reminded me of that book. It was a...

Regarding hockey, the biggest thing I note from 30-35 years ago is back then, you'd have practices & maybe some scrimmages in November and then the first big tournament was Thanksgiving weekend. The season really didn't ramp up until that weekend. Now, there's usually big tournaments Halloween...

40-19 EP, 3:30 left in 4th. 2 turnovers each team in 3rd. EP leaned on them late 3rd & 4th quarter.

EP up 21-19 over Edina at halftime. Seems whoever avoids the mistakes and/or has the ball last will win. EP imposing their will & Mason West doing his thing with 2 TD’s.

Haha. I had like 4-5 listed, and thought "may as well keep going."

Easier than ever to go online & get tickets on secondary market. Good tickets at good prices for the lower games. Not the greatest home slate; Nebraska & Wisconsin the only big name games. Us fans enjoy all Big Ten games, but Michigan State really has never moved the needle here, football...

Alright....week 3 is upon us. 6A Main Games Mounds View @ Maple Grove Moorhead @ Minnetonka Edina @ Eden Prairie Shakopee @ Stillwater Park of Cottage Grove @ Forest Lake Lakeville North @ Lakeville South Prior Lake @ Rosemount Farmington @ White Bear Lake Centennial @ Champln Park Rogers @...

Seems like most of the bowl prognostications revolve around whether the Big Ten will get 3 or 4 teams in the playoff. If 4, then Nashville is very much in play. If only 3, most are saying Phoenix. So if not us being that 4th, I suppose go Illini?

We'll find out a bunch in the next few weeks: -Don't know if #1, but Maple Grove probably deserves the ranking; they've had the most difficult 2 tests thus far that they have passed. -Minnetonka has done what they're supposed to do; still waiting for first test -Shakopee has done what they've...

It was an interesting game. EP was doing their thing the first 18-20 minutes, 4-5 yards a play all the way down the field. MG offense seemed to get going there at the end of the 1st half to in 7-7 at halftime. 3rd quarter was all MG. Pretty sure EP didn't have a 1st down in the 3rd quarter &...

If we've learned anything about Fleck, it's to not believe anything in terms of injuries. I would not be surprised if Taylor does NOT play on Saturday, considering there is a bye week after this game before getting in to Big Ten play.

Gophers 59-6

Probably the same story for EP as it's always been: If they can be effective when they pass down the field, they can go as far as a state championship. MG starting to be a reload program. Good early season test for both teams; I'm guessing both coaches know where they are their weakest at, but...

-I think MG is going to take a slight step back (still top 5, just not #1). -I think Tonka 1/Shakopee 2. -I think we need to pump the brakes on Moorhead - 4 game stretch playing against Tonka-Wayzata-Maple Grove-Eden Prairie. Crazy skill but those are 4 Big Boy football programs & I wouldn't be...
