Class of 2027.

I think this message is important to share with you before your Senior Year of Football. You don’t realize it now but someday you will. It’s going to be one of the most amazing times of your life.

You’re going to have a town, a community following you and watching your every move. Take a look around, see all the kids that show up to support you. You were once one of those little kids that played football during the game, looking at the boys on the field as if they were Gods.

Thank your family and support system for supporting you to become the player you are now. They went thru a lot to get you here, you didn’t do this alone. Tell them that because at the end of the day they are the ones that will be there for you after all this passes. They believe in you.

I’m 37 years old and I still think about it often. The memories you have with your brothers and what you achieve because of the hard work you put in for years and years.

Do all you can to leave everything on the field. Become the leader you once saw from an older teammate. Sit down and look around from time to time, take in the moments for they will be memories you’ll have for a lifetime.

Focus on your team now, not recruiting. This is the best team sport in the world. It’s time to focus like there is no tomorrow, you never know when there is no tomorrow in your football playing career. ✌🏼

Harrison Smith, emotional, talking about the Vikings fans: "We’re out of the playoffs. Everybody shows up in white. They do their part. And one of these days, they’ll get it."

You know what he was referring to.

[Marty Smith @MartySmithESPN]

Took the dogs out 545. 60 degrees.
Birds hollerin.
Leaves blowin around the yard.
Wind through the pines.
Chill up my spine.
And the good Lord said: It's time for kickoff, y'all. Amen.

I don’t care who wins this game. The touch foul calls SGA gets are really awful. They don’t resemble anything else that’s happening in the playoffs.

Off-season competition starts this week #WereBack

For context, doing this for every high school player in Colorado is going to cost the Broncos a cool 15 million dollars.

That is a VERY large investment. Truly awesome that they are committing to the future of the sport like this.

Tremendous story by our @AlexVandenhout1, as he recognizes Chatfield wrestling coach Matt Mauseth as our Post Bulletin Sports Person of the Year. Mauseth has a heck of a story to tell and Alex tells it perfectly.

Happy Thanksgiving

Not a bad 15-hour stretch for Chatfield sports. Football team qualified for state last night. Now, the Gophers volleyball team is headed to state for the first time.

The VB team will play at 1 or 3 pm Thursday in St. Paul.
The FB team will play at 7 pm Thursday in Hastings.

It’s here: Justin Jefferson and Anthony Edwards have recreated the iconic Randy Moss/Kevin Garnett photo.

[Minnesota Sports Fan @realmnsportsfan]

You don't want to share this article on how the #MNTwins arrested and banned a fan from Target Field for displaying an anti-Pohlad sign. They would not like that, i bet. https://t.co/86UP5HnytY
