Why does the MSHSL care about what kids are paying for lunch when determining the enrollment of a high school?

New Year's Day and the CFP fall on a Friday this season. Rose Bowl will be on ABC and ESPN.

No more maroon and gold teams in the conference, and no more rinky-dink schools who can somehow beat the U in hockey.

This would be nice. One reason why I think Minnesota football is perceived to be weaker than its results have been over the past 10-15 years is a lack of monumental upsets and high points. Consistent competence and a high floor aren't recognized as much as volatility with high peaks.

The most likely coach for the Gophers in 2027, other than the obvious PJ Fleck, is New Mexico's Jason Eck. Just take the Fl off of the office door. But seriously, he's a successful mid-major coach who's had small college stops all over Minnesota and the Midwest and he would be a top candidate...

At least some billionaires are still giving their wealth to charity upon their death. As the social and political climate in America has changed in recent years, many billionaires who pledged at least half of their wealth to charity have rescinded those pledges. Mostly not because they lost...

Electoral politics became relevant to this when the president insisted on sticking his nose in to "save" college sports the same way he insists on sticking his nose in absolutely everything else, proclaiming to have a silver bullet solution to every problem on Earth. There was a roster of all...

"Save College Sports", a consortium of right-wing billionaires and politicians and zero college athletes, exists to find a way to limit the rights of young athletes from making their worth for their talents. In a way these rich elites would never stand for the government interfering in their...

The "disservice to the state" part of the quote is telling. It's a lot of pressure there, but without an absolute wagon of resources.

He would be a good fit for Nebraska. But the Gophers have been better than Nebraska for a decade now, and any coach going there has to ask himself why so many men have failed to turn it around. Matt Rhule is a smart football coach. So were Scott Frost and Mike Riley. There's very little...

Bowl TV ratings were good this year, at surprising highs for the non CFP bowls. Other host groups may take their spot.

I was in ROTC at the U and that organization may as well put "discriminating based on medical conditions" on the front door and the logo. They would certainly pull your scholarship for medical reasons. Really ticky-tack ones too, while you could get busted for DWI or crash a government van...

There's a history of FCS juggernauts moving up and none of them are presently in major conferences or above average clubs. Georgia Southern, Western Kentucky, App State, UMass, Sam Houston, Marshall James Madison this year came closest to a breakout but is still in the G5 and got waxed in a...

Our guys apparently have to do promotional activities for NIL in the way it was intended to be Other schools it seems to just be checks for using your likeness in a football uniform on Saturday

That and the worst defensive game plan of the season

I think the Seahawks could have won the Super Bowl with Max Brosmer at QB with the way that defense played.

Wow wisconsin is in shambles. Only 1 4* in their entire newcomer class of portal and high school. Gophers have 8 4* coming in

I want to do Indiana. My dad's an IU alum and we've talked for many years about going to a game in Bloomington. The absurd lack of games between the two schools over the last 20 years have made that difficult. He's at an age where we need to do it while he can still get to games. It's also...

Yes but what really stood out to me in the reel was seeing a Gopher RB finish a long TD run and increase the distance between him and the defense. Hasn't been anyone like that in the M&G since Maroney, and before him Darrell Thompson. We've had lots of very productive backs since who get run...
