And the Frozen Four. Overall, this is a good thing for FCS football. Now if the MEAC and SWAC would do the same, it would provide an influx of talent to the lower division.

Woodbury Tim and I are probably polar opposites politically, but this isn't the place for that discussion. Quit trolling or GTFO.

I have no idea why, but I was thinking about this very thing this morning on my way to work. I think because I was thinking about Indiana football and how good they became because of this.

Both things can be true. It is very entertaining football. But the FCS has largely dwindled down to geographically remote northern and western teams while the southern schools have mostly moved up to FBS.

Yep. Marshall doesn't have a team to field. https://x.com/RossDellenger/status/1868005481559531530

Nice. We're just going tonight.

Ah, that makes sense then. I just remember that was one of the reasons they played in Memphis for one year (and nobody showed up). Nashville is a much better destination than Frisco. Ope - are you going to any of the Wilco shows this weekend?

Minnesotans are the most provincial group of people on the planet I swear. It's all about "one of us." Might be the Sid effect.

If I recall, didn't Vandy refuse the Titans request to sell beer when they wanted to use their stadium as a temporary home? Has that changed?

I predicted this would happen. I just didn't think it would happen so soon. Also, I can't imagine anyone takes Shama seriously. He has to have a readership <10 if that.

It was. That was an epic meltdown.

Jack spouted this garbage last time the Gophers went to the Pinstripe Bowl. His view of NYC seems to be that of just having seen "Taxi Driver." That said, no team is turning down a bowl game. That's nonsense. I do think they need to come down on the field quality of some of these bowls played...

I agree with this. My biggest changes in terms of football rules would be: College - go to the NFL OT rules (with guaranteed possessions though) and if it ends in a tie, it ends in a tie. NFL - go to the college rules for defensive PI (15 yards rather than spot of foul) and one foot in bounds...

Most programs, especially with big money boosters, are not going to take to PJ's schtick. He also just closed on the dream house they built. I don't think he's leaving.

He probably thinks that since their QB is 64 years old and on Social Security, that his old bones will be acting up in the cold weather.

Dave and Darrell "That's not grounding because there was a receiver in the area." (Ref throws flag - replay shows no Minnetonka defender anywhere on that side of the field) Yeah.

I'd forgotten how abysmal Dave Lee is at play by play. So glad he doesn't do Gopher games anymore.

I posted the actual enrollments a couple weeks ago. It's pretty striking the difference between actual and MSHSL adjusted for some of these schools. Coon Rapids and Park Center were especially so.

Apparently that's not the case anymore and we could still go to Detroit. I know people don't like it, but that was one of the most fun days I've ever had going to that bowl game.

I feel the opposite. I think all FBS conference champions should get an auto-bid, just like awful conferences like the UMAC and Pioneer do in lower divisions. I don't disagree that some of the G5 should be their own division, but until that happens, all the conferences should be treated equally.
