Probably. And I was pissed too when they changed it. But friendly Goldy is one of the best, most fun mascots there is. In hindsight, I was wrong - it was a good decision.
How much better really are some of the small college facilities as opposed to the newer high schools with turf etc. I get that they don't want later playoff games on some of the poorer grass fields around the state.
I really, really, really want to see Forest Lake beat Edina. One, because I'm a FL grad, and also because I have a serious hatred for Edina football from my time coaching.
Run it into the ground? What the hell are you blathering about? We aren't winning titles, but we're consistently a winning, though not spectacular, program.
Isn't that why Blart took some super low paying assistant job with the Patriots after Arkansas fired him? So they'd have to pay the majority of his buyout?
And a lot of time, those buyouts are funded by boosters.
I'd love it if the U was football crazy enough to fire a coach and pay a $55 million buyout mid season like LSU just did. But they aren't. And to be fair, most schools aren't like that either.
