    FCS Championship game is going on KSTP Channel 5 Twin Cities at 11:00 AM

    What is interesting is NDSU fans are getting complacent and are not selling out a 19 000 seat stadium. In fact they had only 14 500 for the FCS quarterfinal against Montana State. Even the semi finals were 1,000 short of a sell out. The games are inside so weather shouldn't factor in.

    SI: Unexcused Absence: Why Is College Football Attendance Tanking?

    Attendance is dropping in almost all sports. Gameday experience has gotten too expensive and the tv viewing experience has gotten very good. I think we will see a plateau or even a drop in ticket prices over the next few years.

    Gophers lineman Kyle Sassack retires from football

    It is a fair deal. He will likely deal with shoulder problems the rest of his life.

    Food delivery services

    I use the Canadian version, Skipthedishes, a fair bit. It is great if you are going to order in/ eat out. Frankly, with a few exceptions, I prefer to eat at home rather than in a restaurant. I used to have to pick up and there is nothing better than getting food delivered. Pro tip: Order...

    10-2 vs 2-10

    My thoughts. 10-2 is great but the last loss was crushing. The Iowa loss was ok. It was on the road and they had hiccups. I think the Gophers likely win if they play again. The Wisconsin loss was devastating. They got to taken to the barn by a better team. I am curious to see Wisconsin versus...

    As I rewatch this dreadful game...my amateur analysis:

    I was really disappointed in punting on 4th down in the first quarter from the 35. I know Faalele was out but at this point, you either go for it or you trot out the kicker and hope for the best. Yeah, it would have been a 52 yard kick but if you make it- huge boost, if you miss it, oh well...

    Who to root for — and against — if you want the Gophers to sneak into the College Football Playoff!

    Agreed. And if we lose this week or next week, Gophers will not be in the playoff. Everyone should be fine with those odds.

    Who to root for — and against — if you want the Gophers to sneak into the College Football Playoff!

    I firmly believe if Gophers win the next 2 they can't keep them out. I honestly can't see how how a 1 won loss Gopher that just beat the #1 team on a neutral site can be left out of the playoffs. Hard part, of course, is winning next 2.

    STrib: Jonathan Taylor might be the best of all the great Wisconsin running backs

    Ron Dayne was really, really good. Question: With the limited life span of a running back, why didn't Taylor do pro after last year?

    Does anyone here also not sleep with a pillow?

    You sleep face down without a pillow? I am having trouble comprehending. The only face down sleepers I have ever seen have been passed out.

    Chris Streveler, Steven Richardson and Drew Wolitarsky all win Grey Cup title with Winnipeg

    Mostly true but you are wrong, the Bengals could beat a CFL all star 10 out of 10. It is a different game though and in many ways a more exciting game than American football. By your logic, what is the point in watching NCAA hockey (any player good enough for the NHL is not there and to be...

    Chris Streveler, Steven Richardson and Drew Wolitarsky all win Grey Cup title with Winnipeg

    Here's Streveler at today's Grey Cup parade (there are tons of pictures on-line). It's not that cold for the time of year but is still 30 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 Celsius).

    Chris Streveler, Steven Richardson and Drew Wolitarsky all win Grey Cup title with Winnipeg

    Lawrence was runner-up for most outstanding defensive player. He has had a long and good CFL career, although he has also been suspended several times for head shots.

    Chris Streveler, Steven Richardson and Drew Wolitarsky all win Grey Cup title with Winnipeg

    Here is the guy- no pants for 18 years (except funerals). His wife seems to be the real star. Winnipeg is a fair bit colder than Minneapolis- I don't know how he does/ did it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/bombers-no-pants-fan-goes-to-grey-cup-1.5371239

    Chris Streveler, Steven Richardson and Drew Wolitarsky all win Grey Cup title with Winnipeg

    It is a nice feeling to win. Richardson had a monster year. No one could run on the Bombers. Streveler may be the toughest football player I have ever seen (but can't pass well enough to be a #1). Streveler is also becoming a folk hero in Winnipeg: Wolitarsky is ok but I was expecting more of...

    It is Thursday...who is playing QB Saturday?

    It's only 2.7 because the goal line stops him.

    It is Thursday...who is playing QB Saturday?

    I am thinking they ground and pound with Seth Green.

    Book Recommendations

    For those who like military history, I strongly recommend Bruce Henderson's Sons and Soldiers: The Untold Story of the Jews Who Escaped the Nazis and Returned with the U.S. Army to Fight Hitler. It's an amazing story and the author did an amazing job in detailing the childhood in Europe before...
