    2025 Minnesota High School Football Thread

    It's truly a dumb factor in 2025. It's like telling Hockey they can't have tryouts for youth during the football season. Teams of all fall sports are already into full practice and season well before the state fair starts. Summer tourism and resorts is more of a MN factor but not to the...

    Adding a 9th game would be ideal to the regular season and having section play during regular season. Start the season with 2 games before school. Earliest start would be August 22nd and latest start would be August 28th in a given year. Practice would start August 4th at earliest.

    There are currently only 20 total 2v7 (18) and 1v8 (2) games in the state. going to 32 would be four sections of 8 would be ideal. Combine sections 1&4, 2&3, 5&8, 6&7. Have a north/south split for state. Schedule in cross over fashion like 6A does. S1(1)vS4(4); S1(2)vS4(3); S4(1)vS1(4)...

    I saw St. Thomas Academy and Chaska do this a few years back. The seeding was set and they were in different sections. They sat players and played the bench in the second half. It's really no different than the NFL. It's the way the system is set up. I don't necessarily like it at the High...

    Examples: 2 seed St. James played Medelia on Wednesday and won by 60. They played again last night and St. James won by 60 again. In 1A there were five 2v7 games with average margins o 61, 61, 35, 18, and 55. In 2A the margins for 2v7 were 28, 34, 38, 63, 53, 57, and 33 In 3A they were 49...

    St. Paul vs Mpls. This year they got back to more cross city games and brought back the title game. Minneapolis North won the City Championship. Minneapolis teams went 10-0 vs St. Paul teams. St. Paul Johnson was the top St. Paul team and beat Simley in 5 over 4 game last night...

    That is pretty wide open. Mayo beat NP by 3 during season and Owatonna lost o Northfield by 21, but beat Mayo.

    Pair and a Spare podcast: Fan vs Observer

    Yep that is his job, to promote the coaches, the game and support what they say without necessarily questioning it. What did they define fan vs observer as?

    That's a poor mindset to give 16-18 year olds IMO, but they may have had health issues and they were the underdog on the road at New Prague. 18 lower seeds won out of 118 games. Of those 18... 5A had two 5's over 4. 4A had three 5's over 4 and one 6 over 3. 3A had two 6's over 3 and one 5...

    Is this Badgers season among the worst of the century in the Big Ten?

    Basically they saw us as the easiest game on their schedule. Might be 0-8 coming into the game and I'm sure they will still be a tough beat.

    Minnesota @ Iowa 2025 - Floyd of Rosedale - Media Predictions

    I don't expect anyone to pick MN and that's fine. Iowa is favored by 8.5 and the over is 39.5. That's a 24-16 type game. We just haven't gotten over the hump against Iowa. However, a win would make it 4 straight road team wins in the series.

    Are we Playing a Military School This Weekend?

    Done with Nebraska and onto the Hawkeyes. Their QB hasn't thrown a TD in B1G play and doesn't have one since 9/13 against UMASS. He has 7 rushing TD's. We are going to have to be up to the task on Saturday in stopping the RB and QB run options. They gain 192 yards per game while having 18...

    Tell me I shouldn't be worrying about Northwestern

    Playing four of the five, 0-4 teams is great for this team that I expect to improve each week now that they have settled on an OL arrangement.

    St. Peter is power and spread run. They run the ball. Their defense is the story this year in giving up 6 points a game.

    You should be. They are well coached and their OL is playing outstanding. Tulane was their California.

    Windy and cold tonight will definitely favor the teams that can control the LOS and run the ball. 5A Mankato West as the #5 seed at Waconia #4. Down year for West although they beat #2 seed Chaska during the season. Waconia won the regular season match-up 4A #5 St. Peter at #4 Hutchinson...
