I think some sort of super-conference will be the end result. I'm not putting a timeline on it because it's going to be very complicated to get there. Big money in the college game has become bigger money and someone out there (more likely a group of someones) is trying to find a way to make...

Greatest and most entertaining Gopher game I witnessed in person. Game was running long and it was in an era when Daylight Savings Time ended earlier in the year. No lights at Memorial and twilight was setting in. Jay Carroll caught the winning TD right in front of the student section on a...

Solid bio-pic starring Ed Harris as Jackson Pollock. The always great Marcia Gay Harden wins the Oscar as best supporting actress.

They dominated the HVL for about a decade from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. Had a state tournament team in 1970. Odd thing was they beat a generational Red Wing team to go to the state tournament that year. Their team was mostly juniors that year and they were considered the big favorite...

Old District 4 in Old Region 1 had a pretty solid basketball reputation. I played (not much) for a team in the old Hiawatha Valley League in the one-class era and it was rare--Kenyon in the early-1970s as the best example--for one of the smaller schools to get past Faribault, Northfield...

Now they tell me.

Of course Mandel doesn't think it's a disaster. He's part of the sports industrial complex that's always looking for ways to maintain year-round interest in the sport he's covering and NIL and a constant stream of transfers just allows him to fill the airwaves/blogosphere with his takes. NFL...

I wouldn't have been surprised if they had. It's not because they are particularly that good, but they are experienced and they play a somewhat odd style that allows them to succeed at times. I don't see them as a physically talented team and that ususally shows up in the tourney.

It was the 1970s, but my graduation sport coat was something I picked up from Ragstock for $5. I made sure I matched the sport coat with the one pair of somewhat dressy pants I owned. They went well with my Clark's Treks.

And can he throw it further than 40 yards?

Liberty is also a decent offer.

Agree and that's why I think he's a perfect fit for the Vikings. Flores plays a very "forward" defense to force the issue and that's jibes with Cashman's skill set.

I just don't think he fits what Flores wants to do. Plus, injuries do matter and he has been banged up a lot and was not all that eager to back on the field until he was 100%. No taking away his 2021 performance. I think Cashman is a better fit.

Has really elevated his game as a pro. Never can tell until they hit the field, but I think he's a good fit for what Flores tries to do in terms of forcing the action.

He was All-Pro two years ago, but has really fallen off since then. I don't know if he fits Flores' system that well. Curious to see who pursues Campbell and how much they are willing to pay.

Great points about the role/activity of the judicial branch bottom-to-top and I love the discussion. I'm not a lawyer, but I've read a lot about the Constitution (from many different perspectives) and have been in politics/government for 50 years. Supreme Court nominations have always had some...

Well said by Saban. I know it's easy to have class when you are winning, but Saban has always struck me as a stand-up guy. It's all about "brand" now for players and, somewhat by extension, programs. I think (and admittedly I may be wrong) that the NCAA could have gotten ahead of this five...

I scored a few in my high school career. As a matter of fact, it was very few.

When he graduates, he could move to Willernie. Good list and interesting to see so many of them classified as "warm." I don't seem to recall that many guys with that classification this early in the recruiting process.

It's always hard to know. Spann-Ford has impressive size, but I was a little (but not a lot) surprised at his testing numbers. I thought they'd be a little better. He's probably still a Day 3 guy and a good pro day would likely cement that.
