    Gophers vs. Tommies

    Can you imagine living in a city where people park in front of your house and quietly walk to an event? Horrifying.

    2024 MN High School Basketball State Tournaments

    The sections at least have a little history in basketball, there's plenty of schools in Coon Rapids section that can put together competitive teams, I'm not really bothered if they get a quarterfinals spot over someone from a different section. I don't consider Coon Rapids to have had a more...

    2024 MN High School Basketball State Tournaments

    It's absolutely disgusting how they set up the seating. They make the students sit 200 feet from the court in the corner so they can have a media section that's mostly empty close to the court.

    All Things 2023 D2/D3 Hoops

    It's not the NCAA it's just the D2 leadership. The D3 tournament is pretty great. They can put conference rivals on opposite sides of the bracket and even avoid repetitive matchups from the past years. They're still constrained by the amount of flights they can put in the bracket but they can...

    All Things 2023 D2/D3 Hoops

    The D2 tournament is just so bad, all the conference teams playing in the same region. Hosting 8 teams at one site and missing out on great environments you could have if more teams had home games.

    2023 MN High School Football season

    I remember section attendance being way up in the games I went to. The excitement was very high. Besides this just added one more game to the tournament.

    I don't think the licensing or NIL would be any different, it's just the manpower to enter data for more teams. Hopefully the creator tools are good.

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    You've clearly never tried to move around US Bank stadium. That place is a mess to move between the various levels and clubs.

    We didn't start averaging under 10k until the Ben Johnson era. Call me an optimist that we've already hit rock bottom.

    The TV camera angle is awful. The student section behind the benches is tiny. The stands are too far away from the floor because of course they had to have two rows of courtside seating followed by an empty walkway to separate those people with money from the commoners. It's smaller because...

    I'm talking about a 2-3 story lobby that could certainly have an escalator that connects to the upper deck.
