For me this was a boring article. He could have done better in my opinion.

Sadly I don't think he could have. At this point in his career, this is really the best he's got if he's not writing about small town MN baseball.

Go Gophers!!

regardless of how well-written the column was, it's still a valid point. The best Gopher Men's BB team in the history of the program was ineligible to play for an NCAA title because of penny-ante NCAA violations - while today's college athletes can rake in big bucks and stay eligible.

I went to the Class B Championship game the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend. Other than the Gopher/Buckeye football game, it was the best sports atmosphere of any sporting event I have been to, well since 2019. Of course that's slim pickings (a few Twins games, a Saints game, 2020 State Tourney in Shakopee, and a HS football game).

The Chaska Park was jam packed to see Chanhassen win their 4th in a row, beating Miesville. I think the event as a whole had the most fans since the 50s.
