Title: 2023 Football Schedule Released
Post by: valpofb16 on February 15, 2023, 09:52:05 AM
Looks like the Saint Francis game has been dropped (good news!) and Indiana Wesleyan has been retained (better news!)

Dayton, Morehead State, Southwest Minnesota, Stetson , Marist are the home games.

@ Butler , Davidson, Saint Thomas to finish the test is a bit rough

Do Hayden Fox, Luther and Dauber still coach Minnesota State?

Interesting. One of my granddaughters goes to Minnesota State - but MS Mankato (same D-II league).  When Hayden, Luther and Dauber were in their glory, the TV writers needed a fictional college, so they made up "Minnesota State" which did not exist at the time. Apparently, the "Powers that be" liked the ring of it, and changed the name of some of the schools in the level below the University of Minnesota to Minnesota State University (hyphen) location e.g.,  Mankato.  Others were referred to as Southwest Minnesota, or St. Cloud or  ________ State University. Some include Minnesota in their name, some don't. No clue why. But the only true Minnesota State now (and where Hayden,  Luther and  Dauber roamed the sidelines) has to be, by default, Mankato. My sweatshirt from there just says Minnesota State.

BTW, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has some very good football programs. Watched Minnesota State vs. Augustana at Mankato along with about 7,000 spectators.  Nice stadium — natural grass fully dedicated, to football.  Three outdoor practice fields for football (all grass with lights on one).  The same parents weekend, we went to a concert in their arena.  Their indoor arena for both hockey (they are D-I) and basketball is a nice permanent bowl (with suites) that seats 4,300 for hockey and a bunch more for basketball. It all  puts the ARC and Brown Field to shame.   But, then, they depend on taxpayers; we depend on alumni.

With many 1990s era series getting reboots, you would think that someone would come up with the idea to see how Coach is doing as he prepares for retirement?  Maybe he had a legendary career?
