Since 2012 (13 years ago), Farmington has advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs just one time. I’m not “slandering” them. It is what it is. This season, thus far, Farmington, like Lakeville North has not played very good competition. Check in a few weeks and remind me of what...

This whole turn in the conversation was based on you stating that Lakeville North is “still good”. They’re not…at all. They will likely go 1-7. That’s not “good” by any standard, And, it’s not like they are playing a tough schedule. They aren’t in the West and losing to Minnetonka, Maple Grove...

LOL

I understand what you are saying, but there is something very emotional about the North-South game that motivates the underdog every time they play. This is a very heated rivalry, a factor not involved if Eden Praire were to play say, Woodbury for a random example.

I'd go with Eden Prairie or Centennial and I really don't think #25 would stay within four scores of either of them to be honest.

Perhaps, it does seem that outside of four or five at the top, there is a significant drop-off.

You are right in that game they were very competitive, but if North goes 1-7/ 2-6 and South goes 7-1/ 6-2 isn't a reasonable conclusion that they are in fact, not similar in the collective assessment of a season? I realize it has not happened yet, but it sure looks like it may very well unfold...

I’m just hearing a lot of excuses for Lakeville North. I have nothing, absolutely nothing, against Lakeville North. But the truth of the matter is they are 0-3 and they still have to play Prior Lake, Rosemount, Champlin Park, and Shakopee. They might get one win out of that. They’ve scored four...

At home playing Call of Duty?

I think he probably meant they lost a large Senior class from last year, meaning most of their starters were seniors. Even in big schools there are "down" classes that either don't have ton of kids out for football or they just aren't super talented. I doubt they were suggesting a bunch of...

Sorry, but North still being good is a tough sell. I’d guess Blaine and Farmington finish around .500. The South game was close because of the rivalry.

I think MG is overrated and EP is underrated to start this season. EP 23, MG 17

Where are they wrong?

I hear your point. I could also argue that if a 6A team can truly kick the ass of 5A teams, they should not be playing a relief schedule in the first place. Frankly, I would be fine with doing away with it altogether.

I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseam, but relief scheduling is beyond dumb. If teams cannot compete, they should be able to appeal to play in a lower class for two years maximum.
