I'd think if you had the means and the talent, you'd figure out a way to move about 3 miles east.. even after their 1-win year.

The path to D2 dominance isn’t as outrageous as one thinks.

If you had an NIL collective that covered full tuition and some spending money for top athletes and a program with state of the art facilities you would remove the incentive for the top D2 athletes to jump ship.

Think through all the walk on D1 kids who If they can get free college and some extra spending money and get to play for 4 years would be wayyy better off long term than tackling dummy at a P6 program.

Also, I’m more convinced then ever a kid nowadays can go from any school to the NFL if they can play.

Okay. What's the deal with the white squirrels? I ask because my dad is from Carrollton and said he regularly would see white squirrels in the neighborhoods. I never believed him until I was high school and saw 2 while visiting my grandparents. I've spotted several now over the years. Albinism is clearly in the gene pool of those squirrels. I have pictures but have no idea how to upload a photo on here

I've got Kearney, BO, and Valle left. It would be stupid to not use one of those eventual Champs in the last 3 weeks. Changing my pick to Kearney.

I'm with you. I have those three plus Cardinal Ritter and Lutheran North.

Waffling between two class one games. I’m going to go with Penney over North Platte.

Penney’s speed is probably going to give big and slow North Platte nightmares

Solid oppurtunity. Just a lot of work from what they had on the field.

Read on another message board that UCO is looking at going D1. That might scare Dorrel back to Maryville since it went so poorly for ACU. Maybe that is what has already been in the works?

I don't think any team in D2 can remain a dynasty type power in the era of the portal. Honestly, the more successful the program the more likely the kids get poached every year now.

I have also heard some convincing speculation that Dorrel is coming back. I think that's who it will be.

According to this 1998 article by MDC, one could be fined $1000 for intentionally harming or killing one. Wonder what it is now? Keep the crock pots at home.
