I think Nelson has face much more pressure than a group of Gopherholers talking about how excited they are to have him in their program. In fact, if that amount of pressure "got to him", I wouldn't like his prospects of ever being a Big 10 QB.
Call me cynical, but I refuse to get too amped until his signature is on the dotted line.
JackiO pessimistic about a Gopher recruit? That's so uncharacteristic of him.
I bet Philip Nelson would be the greatest QB ever if Notre Dame were recruiting him.
You are correct, and I will go with a Bemidji victory. I seem to remember them playing Wayzata or Eden Prarie tough last year and they are undoubtedly underrated by the Twin Cities media. Also, that severely angers me, as I was looking forward to hill getting a beat down.

Yeah, Hill has had an easy stroll to the semi-finals.
I don't know what to think about Bemidji. They are a good team but Nelson is a really good. I'm about as much of a big school / metro snob as there is, but Nelson is pretty impressive.
If anyone gets a chance, I really do suggest tuning into that game online tomorrow...
Although believe me, even though Mahtomedi is having a down year I was at the hill/maht game and the Zephyrs had that game won. They were driving while looking unstoppable and on the 5 yard line with 45 seconds to go they fumbled it.
Yes, I realize it was Brainerd now so I am not sure what to think of Bemidji's chances. Mankato will probably win. It would be interesting to see Nelson play a lake conference or even classic suburban schedule though. Simply put he is just not tested much in his conference or section. Against Mahtomedi last year when the Zephs won, Dan Ferazzo definitely out played him.
Ahh but my Pioneers beat the Zephyr's twice. And both were completely due to turnovers. Faribault was actually as talented as HM in the state quarterfinals, they just turned it over a ton. Hill has a very good defense and a fairly average offense. As I said in the other thread, I like their chances against Rocori, but think Mankato West will squash them. I'm all for a first public school state title for my Pioneers though. Even if it comes with a former Badger as head coach...
I agree this year Hill has a solid D, but next year Mahtomedi is going to be very tough. All of their studs this year were sophomores and juniors and the sophmore class beat Totino and STA. When you lose Ferazzo, Tommy and Braddock it's bound to be a tough year when you don't have the enrollment sizes like e.p or Wayzata.
I do not know much about Rocori but they beat Rogers, and Rogers was really solid this year. In fact they almost shut them out which was eye opening to me. I think that could be a trap game, definitely.
I was curious about this too.Anyone know who any of his previous sleepers were? Would be curious to know if anyone else that has won this award has become a household name.
