Was at the Wayzata - Andover game last night. Wayzata keeps getting ranked based on being the biggest school in the state. They are not a good team, and they weren't last season either. And this is coming from a fan since my kid plays in the youth program.

Allegedly, the reason for MN starting after Labor Day is because of lobbying from the State Fair, and resort owners. But honestly, I think it's fairly popular and a move to start earlier would not be well-received in general when July and August are the most consistently warm and sunny months...

How do you mean school districts are moving boundaries? They can move attendance areas within districts, but no district is losing or gaining area. School districts are units of government with the ability to collect taxes. No district is going to agree to lose tax revenue. Forest Lake only...

Got it. When do they start school there though? A lot of schools in southern and western states end much earlier and start much earlier than we do. With the majority of MN schools starting after Labor Day, that's a huge cut into the summer and wouldn't be popular. And moving the championship...

But hockey is very much king in this state. Football is a bigger deal down south.

The only thing better than FULL BANANA would be Anthracite.

What is GA? You push the playoffs back, and you piss off hockey, basketball and wrestling. The result of that is going to be more kids dropping football - a short season sport - for fear they won't be able to play as much, or in some cases, not make the team - in a sport they've maybe trained...

It would be yes. Except most of us are employed at-will, so we can be fired without cause.

Rather have a dirty program that wins than the trash we've been stuck with for decades.

I have a friend who will be at the ISU-KSU game in Dublin.

I agree. Hang the banners. But to be fair, the CFP championship is not an NCAA championship so there's nothing to strip. The current NCAA Division 1 football champions are NDSU.

That thought occurred to me as well. Something would need to be renegotiated in this respect. But at the same time, the waiver means 30% of the students aren't paying tuition, which isn't a good business model either. The other thing is that apparently some pentecostal religious group has been...

That's how I understood it as well. It was highly selective. A couple guys I played with in high school played football there and they were super smart. They were still D2 - NSIC then. Also, dating back to its origins, before it became part of the U, it still admits Native American students for...

Interesting article this weekend about the struggles UM-Morris is having enrollment-wise. Wonder if that school will even exist in a few years.

There are 40 teams in the D3 playoffs.

Imagine thinking it's any of your business how people want to spend their own money.

Yep. It used to be the flagship of the MnSCU system, but has been long passed by Mankato. My alma mater, MSU Moorhead has lost about 50% from it's peak, but they've been steadily improving the campus. I was there last month and it's looking really nice now, and they're making improvements to the...

I was thinking it was Iowa Central CC, which is a JUCO. Never mind...

I live in the Twin Cities, but my cabin zip code is 54847. :)

Trestman comes to mind (though if you look at the stats of the QB's when he was either a QB coach or OC, many had career years).
