    2024 MN High School Football thread

    I recall reading that the seats are on rails and could be compressed further to accomodate up too 70,000+ for events like the Super Bowl but I don't think the feature has actually been used.

    All Things 2024 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

    As a traditionalist, I'm not wild about the idea but time marches forward and not backward and so I've come around to the idea of an expanded playoff. I think a playoff correctly configured could help with parity across the CFB landscape, where it is sorely lacking now. But I'm not ready to...

    I like the open concourse of HBS and while it's a nice stadium, I can't say that it is remarkable in any way other than the open concourse. My biggest disappointment with US Bank Stadium was that the concourse is not more open, like Target Field or HBS. I thought that was something of a...

    Listening to Shaver's podcast, he reported that Kimball has not been to state since '91.

    That's too bad. I haven't seen JCC play in person this year, but my recollection from last year is that the rest of the team is pretty solid as well. Hopefully they can still make some noise but losing arguably the best player in the state is a blow. I assume he'll miss a good chunk, if not...

    Kimball played in the state Class C football tournament in 1991. I don't know if that was a one off or part of a larger string of success. I suppose 31 years might qualify as a very long time if Kimball has been in the desert since then but 31 years doesn't seem all that long ago to me because...

    I stopped following the Twins because I don't care for baseball anymore. Otherwise, fair points.

    For me it comes down to the fact that Fleck's 8 or 9 win teams are just as forgettable and irrelevant as Brewster's or Wacker's all time awful teams. If I still cared one bit about the Twins, I wouldn't trade the '87 or '91 teams for 25 or 30 years of above .500 teams with regular playoff...

    I'd take Illinois. If 2019 is as good as it gets? That's easy too.

    If Indiana wins the Big 10 - easy. Indiana. At least there'd be one meaningful season.

    I've seen certain allusions about St Cloud on this forum over the years that I've never heard or seen anywhere else. Granted it's not my neighborhood, but the few times I've been to St Cloud, I've never gotten the impression that it's any different that any other similarly sized Minnesota or...

    The home delivery went out of business. The frozen food business is still thriving. And the Schwanns family sold the business years ago. Big family litigation when the old man died.

    I've heard of quite a few QBs breaking collar bones this year. I'm far removed from moderm FB equipment. Are QBs wearing specialized shoulder pads or something?

    It seems like an avenue that should be explored is a cooperative effort between East, West and MSU to build a stadium at MSU similar to the new stadiums at SWMSU or Northern State. But while Blakesly Stadium is a dump, the high school facilities are good minus the playing surface and if the high...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers BEAT Bielema!!! Win 4 Straight!!

    I was ok with the kick on 4th down. It was deciding to kick the FG on 1st down - the ol' playing not to lose mentality - that bothered me. Why not try to get a first down on the first three downs?

    This. The old Fleck reared his head on the final drive, though. It didn't matter in the end, but given recent history against Ill (although, perhaps that reinforced the conservative decision? ), why not at least try to get a first down? Once Ill TOD, the decision of the straight RUTM and...
