I understand they are taught to do that, I just felt him decelerating at the end had far more impact. His eyes were tracking the ball already, but it seemed like the DB was clueless. Amazing catch regardless, not looking to debate that. I didn't hear any commentary, was watching from a bar...

Amazing catch, but was such an odd sequence. Ball was underthrown and the Illinois DB clearly wasn't tracking DJ's eyes as he almost gave up on the play. Wondering if Jackson slowing down to meet the ball gave the DB a sense that the play was over and/or behind him.

My guess is knowing you're not the lead candidate being the top of that list of 20 things

Probably not as widely known, Grant was also one of four finalists for the Concordia-Moorhead job back in 2001. Not sure if that was some sort of positioning on his part, but he was not offered/selected for the job anyways.

Somewhere in that #6-8 range is where I hope our program can consistently live in the new B1G, with the occasional 2019-type season where we have the energy to earn a spot in the expanded CFP bracket.

There will be nine different section final games played Thursday/Friday of this week at the Fargodome. If the Fargodome Authority wasn't giving the sections or MSHSL a deal, something tells me this tradition wouldn't be 30+ years old.

It's also a great regional event, somewhat of a mini-Prep Bowl as games are stacked on top of each other with numerous sections/classes playing all day, with fan bases, bands, and students coming and going. You can buy a ticket and watch 4-5 games if that's your thing.

The Fargodome has been hosting northwest Minnesota section final football games (numerous classes) since the early/mid 1990s.

They appear to have dropped from AA to A in 2019. Formerly a strong Class B/Class AA program, enrollment has not been kind to them while old Heart O' Lake conference foes like DGF, Perham, Barnesville have grown/maintained due to closer proximity to a growing Fargo-Moorhead.

Same boat in Tonka, although I don't see enrollment continuing to creep much more as they're already signaling unavoidable budget cuts coming soon. My kids fall into that "good enough for travel teams but doubtful they'll be in the basketball/baseball mix come high school" camp. I've told them...

Attending Shakopee @ Minnetonka tonight, hoping it is a great game.

35 years ago they were lucky to have two colors of pants. It wasn't a question because there wasn't a question.

Current travel baseball coach here, and my line is "$400 bat won't fix a $40 swing"

I agree with Fleck that it's a huge game and their focus should be on football. However, bacon should have a bend to it.

You and me both. My middle schooler and I agreed to leave after Tonka's first offensive possession and when Edina hit that long pass to go up 28-7, he looked at me and said "let's go." 🤣

Recency bias. This is the return trip for the Cobbers after hosting PL last year.

Nelson was a class act (and still is). It is said he stayed on longer than planned with some of those down years so as to set the new coach up with more horses in the stable. Esch is not Nelson from the standpoint of community involvement/visibility, but it is hard to argue with his past...

Crazy game. Edina up 21-7 at half and received 2nd half kickoff. Tonka had their best defensive stand up to that point and almost had QB sacked on 3rd down and he broke free and flipped a ~65 yard TD pass to a receiver who got behind the secondary. 28-7 and should have been the kill shot. Hats...
