Re: Game cancellations?
I went from nothing to a winter storm warning to a blizzard warning to a winter storm watch in about 24 hours. That said…. My side door is covered with 3 feet of snow but I see grass in my and my neighbors front yard. The wind is bad. My rain/snow gauge shows 11”. The grass is showing underneath it!...

Re: Gopher football
As of today, I am going. I’ve been on the travel sites nearly every day. Watching Michigan play Alabama just reinforced this. One of my coaches at Iowa St had a ring from playing in the Rose Bowl when he was at Minnesota in 1962. I hate PJ….I am old! But…to see Minnesota play in the Rose Bowl…..I ca...

Maybe….. instead of locking threads….just delete the Minnetonka posts showing up in a 1AA/8AA thread! As someone who has been banned…. Maybe use that on others hijacking a topic. Since it is locked….. I can’t respond that Mayo is a 6A football school meaning it is among the 32 largest schools in the...

Re: Gopher football
Saturday, October 12th the Gopher’s play UCLA in Rose Bowl. In My near 60 years on this Earth do I take one of my last years to go to Pasadena and watch them play?
I am thinking yes. I will be rewarding bad behavior…..but still….. I have been awaiting this my entire lifetime.

Re: 1AA and 8AA
Good grief! You have to use geography as a starting point. You can’t have Rochester Mayo traveling to Roseau on a Tuesday for that all important #32 seed vs #33 seed game.

Re: 1AA and 8AA
I will counter to reducing it to 4 sections and go to a “true second” like wrestling does. A double elimination tournament where as long as you haven’t already lost to a school who beat you…you can play for the second spot. Fine with me, as long as the sections are seeded and not based on geography...

Re: 1AA and 8AA
I watched a bunch of games in Rochester this tournament. Eagan and Luverne were the best two teams. I get the new Co-op should take a while to come together but many of these kids played together in RYHA. Century/JM should be better. Venay leaving hurt a lot……I’m not convinced playing in the NAHL as...

Re: Two Rivers AA?
Nortfield was in AA until they dropped their Co-op with Randolph and went to A. That put Sibley in AA.

A Sparlimb sighting is always welcome! I assumed he died of Covid, became a basketball fan, or lived out a hippie fantasy and moved to Aspen.

Re: Gopher football
Iowa is terrible….until their final drive they had -8 yards of offense in the second half. As a MSHSL and NCAA official that was the “right” call but a judgement by the back judge. He didn’t deem it a logical fair catch and didn’t throw a flag or blow the play dead. What next? Do we go back and che...

Degenerate gambler take….. The North Carolina QB Maye or the Washington QB Pennix will win the Heisman! USC Williams isn’t a top 5 QB.

Re: TWINS
Long term…..there is no shame in losing to the Astros. With 2 legitimate starters in Lopez and Grey with a good bullpen there is a lot of hope. The number of strikeouts by the batters is a huge issue. Hank Stram once said that when you pass the ball only 3 things happen, 2 of 3 things happens and 2 ...
Re: Gopher football
Only the Twins pinch hit with a .200 hitter who hasn’t had a major league at bat since August 6th in a key moment. Really, the Twins should have played the Powerballl!

Re: Gopher football
Embarrassing!
I was at the Metrodome when Nebraska put up something like 84 on the Gophers. Harbaugh could have put up more but waved the white flag with 9 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
With the money Minnesota gets from NBC, Fox, Disney….etc. go find a coach…..maybe the guy at Oregon St.

Re: Gopher football
I am not a PJ fan.
I will be there next Saturday night. I, as a degenerate gambler, am thinking this is a great situation for the Gophers. At home, on National TV, PJ needs to justify his pay……Michigan isn’t worth their ranking. Either the Gophers get beat by 20 or they win.

Re: Gopher football
Up 31-10 in the 4th quarter and lose to a bad Northwestern squad. Good thing the highest paid employee of Minnesota is PJ Fleck.
