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...

Every player and coach on this team should be publicly shamed for this performance.

As a Gopher fan, this is awful. As someone who thinks Vikings fans are obnoxious twats, as bad as Packer fans or worse, I enjoyed Thursday's game.

This is embarassing. We look like Northwestern State out there.

I think there are a lot of people who don't live in these districts who don't realize that this is what youth/high school sports is now at this level and the money involved. And as I've been saying, it's the years-long investment in these sports that leads a lot of these athletes into dropping...

At large high schools, they're paying that for hockey, hoops and baseball with the hope the kid can make the high school team, much less play in college. Odds are they won't if they don't go through those systems. There are some really good players that won't come close to making a team at...

Wentz looks awful and is clearly in a lot of pain. They can't let him back in.

That had to be a Wacker team.

Yep. I said the same about Texas and Oklahoma. Stay in the Big 12 and get a near guaranteed path to the playoff most years. Go to the SEC and you're another team.

Football has the shortest season, no off-season leagues (at least not in MN) other than 7 on 7, which isn't a big deal here and isn't really the same game anyway. It doesn't have the private groups/boosters/companies funding the sport, and probably most of all, it doesn't have parents spending...

That's super interesting. I didn't realize the surface was that large. But you wouldn't need to center the field. You could put it at one end and put up temporary bleachers (or none) on the other side. It would still make more sense than Wrigley.

I still think it's just wild that teams like the Bears, Giants and Eagles all played in baseball stadiums for decades when there were more football friendly venues available in their respective cities.

I believe I was the one who said that, and it was actually a combination of the three. Starting practice that early would likely be an unpopular decision and I'd worry in some cases that it would lead to kids choosing not to play at all. And the issue with hockey tryouts during youth football...

I coached quite a few kids in the Wayzata youth program who will play for Providence. But I still won't root for them.

Some absolute beatdowns tonight. I guess St. Peter wasn't very good after all. I see Medford took a forfeit. What's the story there? Roosevelt over Richfield is an upset. A friend's kid plays for Richfield. They expected to win big.
