Not really, at least in terms of debt to equity ratio. Ag lenders have per acre lending limits thanks to the mistakes of the late 70s and early 80s. Farmers have incredible equity their grandfathers would never have dreamed about. The typical "small" farmer I work with has a net worth of...

There are ways around the pay wall. But even with those methods, the content across the entire publication wasn't worth the tap into incognito mode or a site scrubber.

Is gray shirting still a thing?

I'm sure covering high school sports is exactly what these guys imagined themselves doing at this stage in their careers. It would suck to be mid-career in the dinosaur media.

Someone has to start the thread drift - I was at a non-football event at Mankato State a few weeks back and man, Blakeslee Stadium is an even bigger trash heap than I remember. There certainly isn't any bonding money for capital projects these days, particularly for athletics, so the state...

There's no way Brosmer is the backup to JJ but the thought the Sam Howell won't be the backup is picking up a lot of steam.

Doesn't factor farmers who make their wife a farmer for purposes of doubling the already generous farm subsidies to circumvent the AGI limits ($900,000 per producer!).

Might want to check the victim card. Dylan Raiola was a lot higher rated and this guy had him 15 last year. Michigan guy this year is 12.

Farms have been getting bigger since farming began. The size of farms has never been static. Old McDonald style farming is inefficient and impractical.

Farmers who own "thousands of tens of thousands of acres" are just farmers and aren't "conglomerates" or "super farmers" they are farmers. They are just garden variety farmers and sometimes maybe their grandkids in a family farm operation. It's not Unilever, Cargill, Walmart or KraftHeinz...

One could argue that with the amount of money FB generates that B1G refs could and should be full time employees. Do they get paid for training?

I work with farmers on a daily basis. The idea of the "family farm" is antiquated. Even small farmers are worth several millions of dollars and while commodity prices are currently low, producers can insure revenue. Frankly, I see farmers that fail and it has nothing to do with size and...

I know Willie is old and baked, but farmers are doing just fine.

Uhhh....where?

There's a thread on here about how FB is the odd man out in youth sports. Hockey is one of many sports that demand almost year round participation.

It was being made by coaches and staff of nonrevenue sports.

I don't recall any. But didn't Brian have a big mouth? Who knows if he was saying what pops was thinking or if he was just spouting off Sonny Corleone style.

I'd like to think it could happen for Minnesota. Again, using SDSU as an example. In its DII days, SDSU was a "basketball school" and football less than an afterthought. The state itself was always something of a basketball state, with less emphasis on HS football and a big emphasis on HS...

People love a winner. In my part of Minnesota, NDSU was a fairly hot topic during their long run of FCS championships. It definitely raised the school's overall profile - quite a few more kids make the long drive to Fargo for school than two decades ago. SDSU's elevation to FCS football...

#3 must certainly be the biggest issue. If 2019 is the high water mark post 1967, our best season in 58 years made us at at best a 3rd place finish in the B1G. The new stadium and the modest sustained improvements under PJ have increased interest some, but until the Gophers are actually...
