Need to make this a little more clear. Strong high school hockey is NOT a reason for Gopher football mediocrity. It IS a reason why high school football isn't as strong in this state as it is in some other states.

Yep. Same thing.

Could you elaborate? Is it the too many classes? The no-cut teams?

It exists in other states, but I'm not sure how popular it would be here. I mean, we do have 7 on 7 leagues, but for the most part, they're inconsistent and poorly run, at least from what I've seen. Hockey survives the way it does because there's huge money, organization and politics in the...

Obviously it was a bigger jump, but I'm friends with someone who was pretty close to the UST athletic department during the transition. Both his daughters were varsity athletes there and he was a booster. I can't recall the exact numbers, but he told me how much the volleyball budget alone had...

Mid-game is a bit of hyperbole, but I fully expect that you'll have guys transfer from non-playoff teams to playoff teams after the regular season at some point.

This is a huge issue, and we discuss it quite a bit on the Minnesota High School Football thread. I'll reiterate it here because not everyone reads that thread. For the best athletes in this state, football is not generally a priority, and it is the first sport to be dropped in many cases...

The Summit rejected them back in 2020. I haven't heard anything that they've tried to get in since. Mankato obviously makes the most sense, but as a state school, I don't see the funding there now, if ever.

Shit sandwich.

When I played, I literally did things that would have probably got me arrested if I'd been caught. But everything wasnt filmed in hi def then.

I'd hit him in the head. Can't fine college players.

Some snowflake here will chastise you for saying this. Because many here think a clean program is more important than winning.

Hire some goons to cheap shot the opponents best players? Offer bounties? Figure out a way to get illiterate criminals in here that can play?

That seems like an accurate statement.

We're pretty much on the same page on this.

Soft. Let him go.

I think you're right, but I don't think they lose out. As bad as this game is, the rest of the schedule is very winnable.

Too many in this fan base accept mediocrity. Sad really. Do you accept this kind of result?

They'd just hire another MAC coach, and the cycle goes on.

Why. Tell me you aren't of the ilk that thinks "these are just kids." If this game was at home, they deserve to be booed off the field. I will say what I've said for years. FBS football is big time, big money entertainment. If you want to play the "just kids" card, you should probably watch D3...
