I'll write more when I get home but it's a mess.

At the stadium right now. The seating setup is a total mess and the ushers have no idea what to tell people.

I don't get it. Do they do what Wisconsin does and reclassify before the playoffs?

This. 100%. I didn't feel like this was in any way on the coaches. The team didn't play well. Made dumb mistakes.

Exactly. Both middle of the road teams. Play them ten times, it might well end up 5-5.

SCSU has been shrinking because kids don't want to live in the cesspool that is St. Cloud.

That would make total sense in a market that size. Doesn't most of the NSIC have turf now?

Crookston never, ever should have gone up to D2. Especially with Morris dropping back down to D3.

There was little support for the program, and I think so much money goes to D1 hockey there, they had to make a choice.

Are you talking about public or private schools? In the MIAC, St. Marys doesn't sponsor football, and I think they may be the most endangered school in the league overall. In the UMAC, Northland doesn't sponsor football, and they are very close to closing their doors. They almost closed after...

My son, if he continues to play through high school, will likely never play a game on a grass field.

I don't think they'll abandon turf at this point. Anyone know when that rule went into effect?

Not to mention, in sparsely populated parts of the state, you probably have a much smaller pool of officials to draw from. I doubt a crew from the Twin Cities is going to go to Hallock or Roseau to work a game.

Yep. Wayzata had 2 or 3 Thursdays. A big issue is the shortage of officials.

Hermantown and Orono have to travel to Alexandria to play. Yes, that makes a lot of sense. (I know schools bid on the playoffs, but still...)

Oooh. Maple Grove completely destroys EP 34-donut. :p

NFL stadiums are built these days to maximize revenue and provide an experience for the fans. Nobody would ever consider building an NFL stadium in this climate that wasn't domed and heated. Lambeau will eventually be the last one in a Northern market. The whole "they should play outside in...

Nothing I wrote was incorrect, except possibly the timing of his wife being pregnant. Nope. I was right on that too - Ryan Grant was born August of 1989 - right when Grant came back to FL for his second stint. And he was never offered the SJU job. St. John's bid: Was one of two finalists to...

I also think his reputation is such that a lot of schools won't necessarily want to buy into his schtick. I could not see him in the SEC to be honest.

I assume he meant $7m if another team wanted to hire him away.
