    I don't know anything about Andover but West is always very good and has a lot of talent that will play on Saturdays.

    Gophers' PJ Fleck has players wear 75-pound backpacks in nod to September 11 firefighters

    Good on PJ. For many of us born after the Vietnam War, this was one of the most, if not the most, defining day of our lives. Yet, while I was keenly aware of such events as the Vietnam War, Pearl Harbor, and other era defining events, I find that younger generations are barely cognizant of...

    Are We Headed Towards 4 Conferences?

    Under what constitutional or legislative mandate does Congress get involved? This isn't an anti-trust issue.

    Are We Headed Towards 4 Conferences?

    There is, it's FBS and FCS. The problem is that many FCS teams have jumped up to FBS during the last 15 years solely for the purpose of revenue. P5 FBS guarantee games might bring in seven figure payouts or close to seven figures for these programs while the same game against a P5 foe as an...

    Are We Headed Towards 4 Conferences?

    It might be that way at lower levels but should it be? In FCS, the Pioneer League team gets shipped off to slaughter in the first round. Meanwhile, Ivy and HBCU conferences don't participate in the FCS playoffs. I don't think a Sunbelt of Conf. USA team should be automatically in the playoffs.

    Nebraskans I know consider North Omaha to be rough, with some suggesting that includes anywhere north of Creighton to be North O. But I happened to be in Omaha over the weekend and ventured that way to find, of all things, the empty lot that was once Malcolm X home and there seems to be a...

    Baylor Schieierman enters the transfer portal

    Creighton has an excellent team and program. Great atmosphere with attendance routinely in the top 10. NIL. Excellent school. Close to home. And this might come as a shock to many, but Omaha has a fun downtown, but without the car jackings, and the school is located in the heart of it. I...

    Artificial Turf

    It wasn't that long ago that the demand was for all artificial surfaces so that the players, and not the condition of the field, dictated the outcome. For the stadiums that do not have a giant rolling tray like Arizona, here was Houston's gimmick: Turf grown and maintained in smaller trays...

    Where the MN Kids Signed: From Strib

    If you ever think folks around here need perspective and a reality check, head over to the bisonville forums. Those folks live in a whole other dimension.

    Where the MN Kids Signed: From Strib

    And although they might be competitive and a curiosity (for a time), they bring few televisions to network deals.
