    Marcus Brumm was the quarterback. Mitch Leidner graduated in 2012 and South took second in 2006.

    Bowl question

    I know it is a different team in a different league but there is no way bowl officials in Nashville could have saw the Viking fans take over the stadium and think "geez, Minnesota fans wouldn't travel to Nashville." I am far from a Nashville historian, but I don't think Nashville 2003(?) is the...

    Tim Brewster will be the new head coach at Charlotte

    I'll be pulling for Brew. He gets a lot of hate because of his win/loss record but he has never said an ill word about the U like Jerry Kill. Brew poured his heart into the program but just didn't follow it up with the wins. Brew doesn't get enough credit for building a relationship with local...

    What I don't understand about US Bank is why they (guessing US Bank Stadium, not the MSHSL) don't allow fans to sit in the end zone right under the main entrance? Contrary to what most are stating I don't think the MSHSL has much say on what they can/can't do at the stadium. I believe state...

    Wisconsin staff member Jack Del Rio arrested early Friday for operating while intoxicated after a car he was driving hit a street sign & broke fence.

    I am assuming someone actually knows, but my guess is that they are limited in what they can do. Guessing they cannot recruit, perhaps limited contact hours with players during the week, but they can help coach the coaches with game planning, in-game decisions, etc. 100% my guess.

    Off Topic. Texas Tech fans

    The only people to blame for that is the Texas officiating crew. The fans threw stuff on the field and it literally gave the refs time to meet (aka watch the replay on the video board) and change the call. I would never throw anything on the field, but I don't blame fans that do - especially...

    I am not saying I agree or disagree with them but just relaying what I've heard.

    I don't have an answer but I know there are some issues with coaches who have schools that don't pay for memberships and they don't want to pay their own dime to be in it. From what I heard, most schools don't pay the membership fee for their coaches.

    Penn State 2:30pm CBS

    My favorite game times are 7:00 (or 6:00/7:30, etc) followed by 11:00, and then 2:30. Wish the networks would mix in a late afternoon game around 4:00.

    First Round on Campus

    I am a diehard Viking fan but I have often thought in the Favre/Rodgers era the Packers advance to 2-3 more Super Bowls if they were playing in a dome. Notably Favre's last game vs. the Giants, Rodgers vs. the Giants, the 49ers game a couple years ago, and possibly the Brady/Buccaneers game. 3...

    First Round on Campus

    I was at that game. It was cold, but fun. The thing about weather is that you need to be into the game. You can't just sit back and watch. Everyone was up, standing and jumping around, cheering, high fiving... until our hearts were broke... again.

    First Round on Campus

    As a fan, it is almost more fun to host the first round vs. getting the bye. Obviously, you'd want a bye, but hosting a playoff game. Wow. That would be amazing!

    19 Teams Have A Shot at Earning At-Large Bid to College Football Playoff

    ** Insert sarcastic complaint about 12 team playoff would make the regular season meaningless ** This is why I was a big fan of growing the playoff field. It is the first weekend of November and close to 20 teams still have a shot to make it to the dance. There is a lot of season left, but...

    Former Gopher DC Ted Roof looking for his next job

    He also has to have a great professional network. I bet he knows people in nearly every corner of the country.

    I was going to say the same. For as long as I can remember the Fargodome has been used for section finals and even first round of state games.

    Koi Perich Gopher records watch

    And rightfully so. Even through my maroon and gold glasses I didn't see the instant impact. I thought he would have a nice career - maybe the very top end would be Tyler Nubin. By that I mean Nubin eventually became one of the best in the nation but it took 4-5 years to reach that point. I never...

    Who are your four favorite Gophers running backs?

    I'm 40 so my history of watching the Gophers goes back to early 90s. I remember DT but truly don't remember watching anything specific. My earliest memory of him was the shrine to him at the McDonalds in Rochester. 1) Laurence Maroney - probably my favorite Gopher since I've been a fan. 2) Mo...

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    I coached at a small school that was bad for a long time (20+ years) and we turned it around had some competitive teams. Maybe it was PTSD, but I found it harder to coach when we were good because I knew how it felt across the field and did not want to run the score up.

    Koi Perich Jersey

    For what it's worth, this is apparently Koi's family putting together an order. I did a little investigating, and mom has a link on her Facebook page charging $50 for friends and family and the link posted in the tweet is $80 for the general public. There are two positives: 1) My son is getting...
