I'm hoping I don't jinx it, but so far we seem to be retaining our early commitments in recruiting. Last year we had five before the season began but...

Because of the MSHSL's insistence on giving every team a playoff game, these both are more difficult in practice. That's why you see the classes divided...

This is the current MN football classification method.

Largest 32 = 6A

Going back a few pages to the discussion around NAIA's future.....we also need to think about how that changes things to the south. Programs like Grand...

Is that effectively minimized though because of the inclusion of SOS?...

The transitive property should be in effect!...

I said they would be decent. I thought they would be close to .500, with 8-10 wins. You are right, they are a little worse than I expected. But I also...

Not SMSU/Mankato or Jamestown/UMD?...

[Stanger86]

Hearing the men's season has already been impacted by injury. Unfortunate news...

Good to know, thanks. That might have been misinformation from me by mistake (though to be fair, it is still listed here on the forums on the basketball...

[Stanger86]

Go for it!...

[Stanger86]

No trust me, it is a Division II and NSIC thing too. Perhaps more accurately, it's a MnSCU thing.

I'm not guaranteeing it here just because...
