Got to see Ryan play some ball this past Tuesday in Chicago
Smashed a 3-run HR in his first at-bat!!
Without a doubt, the most athletic member of the Gronowski family

SDSU was 0-19 all-time against Oral Roberts in the Summit League tournament coming into this year.
The one time the Jacks went to the NCAAs, ORU wasn't in the league.
That all changed Saturday, and @GoJacksBaseball is going back to baseball's Big Dance: siouxfallslive.com/sports/co…

@JackIllustrated I hope it’s okay to promote our alum event. Coach Petersen and Jackson will be in attendance along with @Tanner_Castora with Coach Stig for a book signing. Also just heard @SoDakStBandMan will be talking about the Pride. sdstatealumnifoundation.org/…

If you didn’t know this was possible, then you haven’t been a Cleveland sports fan for very long.

A thought that's just occurred to me
There's been a ton of push-back on the new 24-team FBS playoffs
Who's not complaining? @NDSUfootball
Incredible to think the Bison will now actually have a more than legitimate chance to be an annual playoff contender
What timing.
A 24-team College Football Playoff format would be disastrous for College Football.
In 2018, if a 24-team CFP format existed, it would have included SIX 4-loss teams and even 5-LOSS Northwestern as an at-large bid…
That Northwestern team lost to 4-8 Akron at home, lost to Duke by 14, and lost to all three of the Top 15 teams they faced. That is who people are currently arguing should make the Playoff.
The regular season would be annihilated, bowl season would be finished, losing wouldn’t matter, making the CFP wouldn’t even be an accomplishment, and all for what? To watch these teams get smoked by the real contenders?
College Football is not College Basketball.
College Football is not the NFL.
College Football is not the NBA/NHL/MLB.
The enormous implications of each Saturday during the REGULAR SEASON is part of what makes our sport so great.
The coaches on the AFCA Board who voted to support expanding the playoff to 24 basically just gave the middle finger to each fan, because they’re literally rooting for CFB to become a watered-down, corporatized NFL Jr. and a shell of its former self.

Doing some hiking in Black Hills National Forest
A whole lot of people around the country have no idea how incredible the nature is in parts of South Dakota
And maybe it’s better that way

The BCS was great. National Championships Mattered, Bowl Games Mattered, The regular season mattered, losing mattered, winning mattered.

In a 24-team playoff, both these teams are comfortably in, with a bye. This game means nothing.
In 2013, it’s widely regarded as one of the most dramatic football games of all time.
