    Game 5, are you sure? I thought 1st Round was only Best of 3. I was only aware that the Minnesota representative qualified for the MLS Playoffs because it was an option for action while I was in a Vegas Sports book last week. I passed.

    I think you are missing TRU TV from your list for the 2nd game in Palm Springs. Could also be on CBS if they reach the Big 10 Semi-Finals.

    The deal is near finalized for #UCLA football to play its home games in SoFi Stadium.

    The footprint for their existing track & field stadium (10,000) was actually originally supposed to be for a 40,000+ football stadium in the 1960s, so I do not think land would be an obstacle that they would not be able to overcome if they really wanted to. That was nixed back then due to local...

    I disagree with your assessment of the Rose Bowl. For an afternoon game at any time of year, I think it's a fabulous setting with San Gabriel Mountains in the backdrop. It is quite a hassle to exit from, but that's not unique.

    So previously you were arguing that the current format has a "participation trophy" element to it yet you want to double the State Tournament field. That would include 8 more participating teams incapable of Winning their Section. Uffda.

    I am highly skeptical that attendance and viewership in whatever is NSPN would increase. If anything I would think it's most likely that total Round of 16 attendance would be less than 8 Sectional games, especially if more travel is involved. Minnesota High School football is never going to...

    My conclusion is BOLD should have played better against Minneota to advance to the State Tournament.

    No it isn't. Section Champion = Best Team in geographic region. Each and every team got a chance to be a Section Champion. If they failed, too bad Tournament Champion = Best Team in the State of those 8 Section Champions Makes total sense. Hope it never changes in Classes 5A and below. I...

    You're "don't keep score" is way off the Mark on my opinion. The score is indeed was kept at all Section Championship games. The Section Champions earned their right to continue on. Inarguable. I prefer to the regionality. In any sport it's rarely if ever getting the Best 8 Teams in the...

    I wouldn't feel any different as a participant. Only 1 team gets to finish with a victory in each Class. Doesn't matter when the loss happens.

    They remaining teams aren't weak. They are Section CHAMPIONS and thus earned a bid to the State Tournament. Maybe they are less talented, but it will get proven on the field.

    NO, it is not insane. I view the State Tournament as a way to identify the Best Team. Not teams 2-8. Lose your Section, get out of the way and let someone else have a crack at it. Wrong, I would not be singing a different tune. As an alum of Northfield I have seen that team be on both sides of...

    Because they weren't good enough to Win the Tournament. Proven on the field. 2nd Place = 1st Loser.

    Of course you are going to have at least 2 of the Top 10 teams miss the State Tournament. That's how math works in an 8 Team field. Additionally, I prefer regional representation, immensely. If a team didn't win their Section, at minimum that means they were not good enough to be State...
