Has anyone done this? Do they actually give you a decent credit?

I get it. I know the spring game is kind of an outdated tradition, but I do think it is something fun for fans. I know my second grader would die to watch them and if he could run down on the field afterwords and get autographs it would be one of the best days of his life. Again, I totally get...

Not so fast, my friend!

When I was younger I had to coach 7th grade basketball. One kid got in trouble in class. I made him sit in the bleachers and watch the rest of the team run. Not sure if it was the right thing to do or not, but the message was sent by the rest of the team to have that kid behave in class.

Agree and disagree with you. In the NFL where you can truly pick and buy your players... do you change your scheme or simply go find the peg that fits that hole? 100% agree with you in high school coaching and to a lesser extent college. Coaches need to adapt their style to fit the players...

Blake is one of my favorite Gophers. Walked on and made plays every single time he was on the field!

Crazy thing, I would say the SEC has Georgia and Alabama and then put LSU and Auburn on par with Wisconsin/Iowa - LSU's top end is better but they only get there about once every ten years.

Assuming you are talking about 6A playing the Friday after MEA when we are supposed to play Maryland? All MN schools wrap up the regular season the Wednesday of MEA.

I've said this multiple times... this is a golden opportunity for the U of M. Volunteer right now to host the weekend of MEA. There are zero high school football games on that Friday. MEA is huge on college visits... give kids visiting game tickets. Make it the biggest tailgating game of the...

I was a 5th grader when the North game took place but I am pretty sure their enrollment was pretty large back then.

It would be interesting - when Braham had their dynasty in the early-to-mid 2000s they beat Hopkins one year and Hopkins won 4A. Minnehaha won a 2A and 3A championship, guessing they would have whatever class they wanted to play. Probably safe to assume some of Thorson's DLS Islander teams would...

Yep - its really nearly $700 because of the check and value of the game.

I know nothing about Maple Grove football or this situation, but could be minor disagreements like who gets to use the stadium field in the summer, weight room access for players, etc and could be enough of the minor disagreements where there is finally a straw that breaks the camel's back and...

I should have caught myself... especially after the Jason Kelce retirement speech yesterday.

I agree - I know the $600 doesn't mean much to Arch, but I'd think the negative attention on it has to carry some weight. Fans play games, fans get to know "players" through the game. There is no negative. I remember being in college being a fan of Joe Cohen from the Florida Gators simply...

I am probably in the minority here, but I want it both ways. Protect the players and let the crowd have their way. I don't think it is necessary for the fans to get on the court the second the clock strikes 0:00. Security/Schools/Fans can all work together for 30 seconds to let the players clear...

Agree... and I feel like Alabama has done a variation of this in the past. They've lost conference games, avoided the conference championship game - like you said, an extra intense, physical game - got some rest and recovery and were healthy for the CFP.

So... it would look like this. I see some fun first round match-ups and intriguing second round matchups if top seeds hold true. The money has to be good because Oklahoma and Texas would have a decent shot at a first round bye every year. In the 28 years of the Big 12... Oklahoma (14) and Texas...

I agree with what you are saying (I think). Yes, sports is a small part of the president's job, but should be a huge part of what they care about. They don't need to know a thing about sports other than trusting the AD and giving them the resources they ask for. There is not a better way to...

Couple of names from way back... both him and Aaron Hill both made Gopherhole this week. Someone refresh my memory... Were they both Brewster and Kill guys or just Kill guys? Simoni Lawrence was a favorite of mine when he played.
