    @GopherWeatherGuy Any signs of some colder weather? Looks like we get a day or two but then back to above average temps.

    Observation about the new kickoff rules: If a kickoff hits the ground in the landing zone (0-20 yard line), the rule is returners either have to return it or down it in the end zone but the touchback results in the ball at the 20 yard line instead of the 30. Why don't kickers try kicking line...

    I was able to play in the Section Championship at the FargoDome in 1995. We were getting a few inches of snow that day and it was really windy/cold. It would have been miserable to play outside in those conditions. I believe there was a game or two scheduled for Concordia or Moorhead but they...

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    I believe the Dowd Report included specific games he bet on.

    Win and develop. Some players will always chase the money no matter what but a lot will go where they feel they can be most successful.

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    I despise the man. He's a terrible human being. But the ban has been for 35 years now. He admitted he did it and he's now dead. Just seems like it's time to get him in IMO.

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    I would think that would be pretty easy to look into. Did he make unusual decisions in those games that he didn't normally? Like did he make sure to throw his best relievers in those games even in situations he normally wouldn't?

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    Nah, just pointing out what I deem to be rather hypocritical. The spirit of the "cardinal rule" is to prevent games from being thrown. There's no evidence he did this. The length of his ban is because of him being an a-hole, not because of what he originally did. If the gambling was exactly...

    The big issue with having just a big bracket of teams from all over the state is that travel could be brutal for some of the small classes. A thought would be to have each section get down to two teams, then pair them with a neighboring section and have the highest seed left of one play the...

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    Gambling can become addicting. They're promoting (and profiting off of) something that can become an addiction. Rose clearly had a gambling addiction. I'm not saying he shouldn't pay for his actions but I think it's way too severe of a penalty to still keep him out. If Rose would have been a...

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    "Pete Rose is banned from the Hall of Fame for gambling" "Also, make sure to head over to ABC website to gamble on MLB games" I know it's not exactly the same thing but it's still a bit hypocritical IMO. Rose was a POS for a number of reasons, but he was still a phenomenal player. As for the...

    Highest Graded True Freshmen - Week 9

    He was just 11 of 26 for 184 yards and 1 INT. They only scored 6 points. Surprised his rating is this high.

    He would have thrown a 100 mph pass through the goalposts.
