    All Things Movie/Documentary Reviews/Recommendations Thread

    FYI: After hearing recommendations for Project Hail Mary, I watched the trailer and thought that it looked like a really entertaining, funny, and heartfelt buddy comedy. I asked my wife to load up the trailer after dinner and was surprised by how different this trailer was. It looked like an...

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    It's a one-off. Jon Bernthal as the Punisher will appear in the Spiderman: Brand New Day movie later this summer. This special was supposedly a vehicle to explain what he'd been up to as he wasn't in Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2 as well as provide a little backstory as to his motivation...

    How does this program get meaningfully more NIL money for Medved?

    What ridiculous direction would that be? What would you like the U to do differently?

    How does this program get meaningfully more NIL money for Medved?

    I'm curious... what does the "full university administration backing athletics 100%" mean to you? What specifically do you know other administrations do that you would like to see the U administration replicate?

    RandBall: As transfer portals close, Gophers basketball is thriving

    The coaching staff has been very tight-lipped about injuries this year. It is frustrating as a fan but it seems like this must be getting more scrutiny as it must fall under protected and confidential health information under HIPAA. I wonder whether Turner had a nagging injury the whole season...

    RandBall: As transfer portals close, Gophers basketball is thriving

    I think that it's unfair to call a player a complete bust if they were injured. Stephens was injured the entire season. Turner was injured for a large chunk of the season. Omot missed the whole season. Willis and Vaihola missed almost the entire season- playing only in the non-conference...

    What's Next 26-27 Roster

    I provided irrefutable facts not opinions. Zoey committed in June 2024 and signed in November 2024. Tracey didn't enter the portal until April 2025. Please explain to me where I have shared an opinion. Are you honestly suggesting that Plitzuweit approached the Bershers family in June 2024 and...

    What's Next 26-27 Roster

    I'm not certain what point you are trying to make... I provided the timeline. Zoey committed in June 2024 and signed in November 2024. Tracey entered the portal in April 2025. It couldn't be any more clear that Tracey was not offered a spot to entice Zoey to commit 9 months earlier and sign 5...

    What's Next 26-27 Roster

    Redshirting is becoming a rarity. Most players are unwilling to 'waste' a year sitting out and developing their craft and prefer learning on the court. In the portal era, most programs are unwilling to waste a scholarship for an extra year of an 'unproductive' player. The attitude is to see what...

    What's Next 26-27 Roster

    Zoey committed in June 2024 and signed that November. Tracey didn't enter the portal until April 2025. So no... Tracey was not offered a spot to entice Zoey to commit. To the contrary, Tracey opted to transfer here to play with her sister. She had played with her older sister, Sara, in high...

    What's Next 26-27 Roster

    Zoey signed her letter of intent months before Tracey entered the transfer portal.

    BREAKING: Coyle Hires Brett Larson as New Gophers Coach

    Why bring unnecessary attention to your process (or lack of process as some here suggest) by firing and hiring coaches in a sport that your prospective employer doesn't compete in? Why waste your energy trying to improve two programs that are not on fire if you aren't fully invested? Based on...

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    I finally finished Task last night. I thought that it was extremely well done. The two main characters, played by Tom Pelphrey and Mark Ruffalo, were fantastic and the rest of the cast was great!

    Chicago Bulls have traded Ayo Dosunmu to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN.

    They could've made a move in the offseason but you can't make moves without a trade partner. The trade deadline often spurs teams to make deals that they wouldn't have made before the season for financial or roster construction reasons. Chicago have suddenly become active and are now making...
