What's the kicking situation look like for 2023?

Its either an illegal shift or illegal motion. In my opinion, both were violated, but having been on the sidelines for many, many games, illegal shift is called significantly more often than illegal motion. Violating 7-2-6 is illegal shift After the huddle or shift, all players of A must come...

Good debate and discussion. Sucks all around. These are high school kids and coaches. Along with high school refs. (and I am sure the ref responsible feels horrible) The call was missed. I'd bet money that the players from DGF will get over it a long time before the coaches and parents will...

I get confused between an illegal shift and an illegal motion penalty. One is a dead ball foul and the other is not. One is treated like a false start penalty and the other is not. The play we are discussing was one or the other.

And I apologize for sounding snarky. Not my intention. I have no dog in this fight, but I do feel bad for the DGF team. I will also admit that it was a great play and I appreciate the skill and preparation that went into it.

I'm not trying to be funny, but I hope you are not in a position to coach or ref football. If you are a coach, I suggest that you run this same play with the same movement on the first play of your season next year. See what happens....

It would only be legal if the kid moving laterally started his motion after the other kid got set. You can't have a player in motion while another player is moving. I'm not sure how else to explain that to you but I will try since I am currently looking at the 2022 NFHS rule book: Rule 7-2-7...

I've been a head coach in football for 19 years. However you interpret the play, it was illegal and should've been blown dead as soon as the ball was snapped. If you want to say the players were shifting, then they both need to get set for a second before the snap. Play is blown dead...

ESPN has a story about the Mich/Purdue game. Harbaugh was complaining about the visitor facilities being unacceptable at Purdue. Said the training table was from the '20s. Also said it is common in the Big 10. For those that know, how do our visitor facilities rank?

I have decided to buy 2 season tickets for next year. For those that are in the know, what part of the stadium still has available tickets?

It was basically 1 year ago this week that Andre McDonald (the first time), Philip Nelson, and Maxx Williams committed. Predictions on who will be the 1st commit of the '13 class?

Debating on becoming a member of the Goal Line Club. Is it worth the investment?

Thoughts on Two Deep Predictions for the '11 Season?

Does anyone have any info on Gopher recruit rankings from the 1990s. I was watching the Badger-Gopher game from the 96-97 season, and they kept mentioning our highly-ranked recruits like Charles Thomas, Quincy, and Courtney James. That should've been a pretty highly-ranked class.
