No. Next question.

The only college game at an NFL stadium that doesn't stink is the Cocktail Party in Jacksonville, and the Cocktail Party was in Jacksonville long before the NFL was.

The fact that Mayo is now up in 6A means that it will be a neutral field no matter what and will host barring any major complications. If not there, then RCTC.

So will the Hormel Row of Fame be migrating to the New Brickhouse?

The new Bills stadium in Orchard Park is open to the elements. I look forward to seeing the first SEC team to be dispatched to the Hoth system for a playoff game.

Does a bear defecate in the woods?

Point taken re: years. Still, the broader point remains that Minnesota sports teams only have 7 semifinal appearances in the last 32 years, 4 of which came in a 4 year stretch in the early 2000s.

On top of that, there have only been 7 appearances by a Minnesota team in the SEMIFINALS since the last title. Vikings NFC Champ 98, 01, 09, 18 Twins ALCS 02 Wild WCF 03 Wolves WCF 05

The red scum also needed a 21-2 run to get the series back to sea level.

The Gophers demonstrated last night that it's very hard to play ice hockey with both hands wrapped firmly around one's own neck.

Also, there is no open enrollment/transferring within the Rochester district. You go where the map says you go. This is a big reason why there is so much open enrollment outward to Stewartville, Byron, Pine Island, and Dover-Eyota.

My most vivid memory of Bud Grant was from Opening Night at the New Brickhouse, September 12, 2009. I think a lot of people there that night didn't know that Bud was a Gopher legend before the pros. Bud was one of the honorary captains that was introduced prior to the coin toss. Jamie read his...

Grimm is a solid PBP guy, but he has got to stop whining about referees when he thinks the Gophers have been wronged. He has a habit of losing stretches of game action to said whining. While it's not as big a problem in football, it's a major issue in basketball. Also, the sound quality in FM...

The 3A state title game between DeLaSalle and Washburn ~10 years ago ended in a sequence not unlike this one.

Or move Week 1 of football the week before Labor Day. As for the COVID year that someone mentioned the League supposedly loved: losing the gate and TV revenue for boys basketball and football for 2020 blew a huge hole in the FY21 budget that took a huge amount of hassle to resolve.
