Well, kids that blow their NIL money will get a education in life. Maybe it will teach them to save the money if they get a second chance at more. Most times those lessons are better than what you learn in the classroom.

I'd think the AD would bid based on what he thinks it takes to secure the game, not on how many show up. Losing money on the first round is not uncommon I bet.

If Bubba follows his usual pattern this will be the year we miss the playoffs altogether and then the athletic dept has the money. I agree with Oxbow, it's a money grab. You might be on to something about the idea originating with REA.

Can't they sell the season ticket holders their seat after the game is announced? Isn't that how it's done elsewhere? It really doesn't matter to me since I'm not a season ticket holder, but it sure isn't adding any incentive for me to run out an buy either.

I don't have season tickets but this is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Forcing people to buy something is never good.

Hennepin Avenue?

Me thinks that jimdahl got an offer he couldn't refuse. Horse head in bed to throw the results?

Denver looks good

If it's FBS, yes, but good luck getting that to happen.

What would the Summit offer that the MVFC doesn't do now? I actually see the Summit football as being a weaker conference if you ever got it going

Yuck. Not even funny as an April Fools Day joke.

Is Jim Dahl gonna pony up big bucks for a perfect bracket?

I was just about to post that. Seems to be a trend. A rather alarming trend.

I suppose when Notre Dame is in it you always pick them to win it all, so yes, this year you have a chance.

But how long does that contract run and what changes can be anticipated when it comes time to renew?

It's common in any program to hate any coach that can't produce post season wins. It's the same story all across the country.

I don't think I would call uni a toss up. Loss in my book

Bubba would be 65 at the end of the 27 season. Who knows? He could conceivably hang around for another extension. (unfortunately)

Actually I'd bet we lose to Idaho State and Indiana State. We always play terrible against Idaho State and we damn near lost to Indiana State last year. And we play Indiana State on the road this year.

It's to spot trends for infrastructure needs. In high growth areas every 10 years isn't enough. Planners need to know where future roads and schools are needed years in advance.

I brought that very point up a month ago or so and it was argued, but I firmly believe those numbers are correct. Fargo and Cass County are sucking the lifeblood out of the rest of the region. I'm not saying that to be sarcastic or trolling, just pointing out the reality of the situation. The only way to improve is to push for economic development and that's not easy. Or cheap.

I've had no faith in big Vikings trades ever since the Hershel Walker deal.

Leadership and luck, not necessarily in that order.
