    247: ex-Georgia Tech player accuses MN of taping their bowl practices last year

    It is much more likely that if Minnesota had been caught filming Georgia Tech's practices that it would have come out at the time, not a year later.

    Eating our opponents - Auburn edition

    I did find a recipe for Magic Cookie Bars from Eagle Brand Condensed Milk. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/63959/magic-cookie-bars-from-eagle-brand/ "This bar cookie is an old fashioned favorite. Chocolate chips, nuts and coconut are set in a caramelized layer on top of a graham cracker...

    Stadium Expansion...

    I like the idea of adding some temporary seating. If the demand keeps growing for the long term, we could see about expansion.

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    I'd agree that if no one was going to the game that it wouldn't be much of a positive, but I never claimed it would.

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    It makes prospective students more inclined to attend and makes donors more inclined to open their pockets.

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    I'm sure Crookston football didn't add much value to UMC's reputation as a school, it might even have helped create a negative perception. But a decent sports program does make people perceive a school in a better light.

    There's also the value to name recognition that sports provide, which can be harder to measure.

    SCARED OF AUBURN?

    Auburn is a good team and we're playing in a New Year's Day bowl. We could win. We could lose. If we lose, it won't be embarrassing.

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    Or you could close the Saint Paul campus and put all the ag programs in Crookston.

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    I don't think they ever had football, but the first intercollegiate basketball game was between Minnesota A&M and Hamline. https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2016-02-09/possible-first-intercollegiate-basketball-game-was-played-feb There are other schools that claim to be the...

    Stadium Expansion...

    I remember going to games at Metropolitan Stadium and they had vendors walking the aisles with hot dogs. I think that would reduce the lines at concessions if some common purchases were available in the seats. You get the cotton candy vendors, but you don't often see vendors come by with sodas...

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    UMC began its existence as the Northwest School of Agriculture. I grew up about half an hour from Crookston, we always thought of UMC as the ag school. Crookston does have the Agriculture and Natural Resources Department, and I don't think that any of the other universities in the state (besides...

    Then they'd have to change divisions. The new conference could be D-II, D-III or NAIA.

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    The Crookston and Saint Paul campuses have the state's ag programs. If Crookston closed, I'm not certain that the Saint Paul campus could take up the slack. Real estate is a lot more expensive in Saint Paul than in Crookston.

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    Morris is one of the top rated public liberal arts colleges in the country. US News and World Report ranks it #8, and the top three are the Naval Acadamy, West Point and the Air Force Academy. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-liberal-arts-colleges/top-public

    Reports: Minnesota Crookston, St. Cloud State to drop football

    I could see a new conference forming, with some of the bottom dwellers of the NSIC leaving and picking up some others. Minot State joined the conference in 2012, and hasn't won more than 3 games since 2010. Minnesota Morris is kind of an oddball in the UMAC, they might fit in better in a new...

    Outback Bowl: Gophers = Coconut Shrimp

    I must go to Outback and order the blooming onion, since it represents our opponent. Time to eat our opponent for lunch.

    Chip: Outback Bowl offers positive ending to Gophers season

    It's hard to imagine the any team falling that far even with a blowout loss.
