And all nine conference champs get an autobid, but not an automatic seed.

I always had a HUGE issue with the polls, because the Big Ten was at a disadvantage when the number of bowls expanded. Being locked into the Rose Bowl against a Pac 10 team meant they would basically never play for a hypothetical poll championship and I believe that affected the polls. From...

Ben is not a head coach. Period. This is very similar to the Brewster era in football.

All the more reason to have all conference champs get auto bids. It means much of the field isn't determined by non-objective humans.

SEC - it just means...oh wait, you mean a team from Ohio and a team from Indiana AREN'T in the SEC - never mind.

FFS, if they have EIGHT quarterbacks, the vast majority were never going to play anyway. Maybe transfer to Crown or Martin Luther or some other UMAC school if you want to get on the field.

I said five years. I think it's ahead of schedule.

I would too. And there were a lot of random locals at the Quick Lane last year. Mostly Michigan and MSU fans.

To be fair, I believe they did invest in a new indoor practice facility. They also remodeled their basketball arena, but from what I've heard from friends up there, they didn't do a very good job - kind of did it on the cheap. Here's the thing about the Fargodome. NDSU doesn't own it. Doesn't...

I don't make fun of the quality of the product. It's quite good. I make fun of delusional Bison fans, of which I know many.

I get into that on occasion with old North Stars fans that don't understand that Met Center - a one level, 15,000 seat arena with no amenities was more or less functionally obsolete as a major sports venue when it was torn down.

There are quite literally Bison fans I've encountered that do not realize they are not winning the championship of the highest level of college football. Most do realize this, but those people absolutely do exist. There are also more than a few Bison fans who really do believe their team should...

Did Memorial never have lights?

I've posted before on the basketball board - I really think they need to do what Butler did with Hinkle, where they saved the exterior, but basically rebuilt the entire interior inside the building.

I never got to experience a game there. For some reason my dad never took me to Memorial, though we went to Twins games at the Met, and had Gophers season tix during the Holtz-Guety years. I wish I had. I have some friends who remember going, and the one thing I've heard, and this is true about...

Hey - do we know each other?
