Another offensive board given up of course but the body language and port effort annoys me tremendously.

92 bucks.
That's what they get (approx) to be your HS football official.
They drive from Job A to Job B, get their early, spend a couple hours reffing, drive home, for $92.
Paying $10 DOES NOT give you a pass to act a fool just to "support" your kid.

These Gophers man.....
There will be a lot of bigger teams

There will be a lot more athletic teams
But I don't think many will match the heart and fight of this Gopher team. Not sure what the record will be, but they will battle

I believe a 2-way deal was always the likely spot for Amir & it's what he's accomplished
I believe Amir gave Minnesota 3 strong years as a local talent
I believe many wanted to see what he could do in year 4 but that's past
Time for fans to cheer a Gopher who is now a Clipper

Sometimes when your fellow woman/man is hurting you don’t need to say anything. You don’t need to have your say. You don’t need to offer your view.
Sometimes we need to just listen to the pain of others and do our best to understand. To help.
