    Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2025

    Why carry three QBs on your roster? I hope they do because that means Max at least gets a practice sqaud slot, but why not go with two QBs on the roster and your third on the practice squad. There's basically no risk in naming Rypien to the practice squad - no one's going to grab him for a...

    Well, on the good news for fans of Coldplay, they just created two new singles.

    CBS is ending ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ next year

    For 2Q2025: Gutfeld averaged 3,289,000 viewers and makes about $7M per year Colbert averaged 2,417,000 viewers and makes about $15M per year CBS needs to make a change as Colbert's spiel isn't working anymore. I do hope Colbert shows up somewhere else though, sort of like Tucker did when he...

    NEW MUSIC

    We've entered the AI stage of music. "The Velvet Sundown" with over 100 million listens is a band that doesn't actually exist.

    The Gophers need to get into the statue-erecting business too outside of Huntington Bank Stadium.

    More statues of Goldy please. He's the greatest mascot of all time.

    The Gophers need to get into the statue-erecting business too outside of Huntington Bank Stadium.

    Let's build a statue for one the great legends and tales that are told out of all of the great Gopher Football stories ever heard.... Lois Feldmen ... we'd just put it up when IWOA comes to town. A bathroom stall painted gold.

    All Things 2025 Tour de France

    Without a GC rider winning stages has to be EF's only focus. Nice to see them get one. Also, Matteo sitting in 5th is my surprise of the tour so far. I didn't see that happening at all.

    RandBall: Where’s the money? Gophers budget shortfall raises questions

    It's pretty amazing that the men did that when we don't even have a men's indoor track team. How do you get good track-and-field athletes to come to your school when you don't even compete in the indoor season?

    All Things 2025 Tour de France

    Love it. At one point I really should try different setups.

    All Things Movie/Documentary Reviews/Recommendations Thread

    Very much a propaganda film, especially the John Brennen parts. No one wanted Bin Laden alive anymore, including Pakistan and Al-Qaeda. We did their bidding (and ours) by taking him out, which of course is why four helicopters, one that crashed, explosions, and machine gun fire, didn't attract...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Wild Offseason

    So did he just walk away from $17M over two years, or does he get at least some of that remaining contract dollars?

    U of M Total Operating Revenue by Sport for 2024 (football is 75%, other 18 sports are 25%)

    The biggest upside potential in terms of additional revenue is football. We have a large stadium that isn't consistently sold out. We just need to be in the hunt for the national championship every year... The biggest upside potential that is more realistically achievable, is an improvement in...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Wild Offseason

    Adding another Russian, along with Yurov, to the team makes the Wild more friendly for KK.

    What grade would you give the Timberwolves 2025 draft?

    The only way it's a good grade is if the assignment was to not spend any money on new players. These players will not make next year's roster. We could have easily added needed scoring talent, instead we have two projects, both rim protecters that can't score and have trouble making free throws...

    Wolves take Joan Beringer at #17...

    Both picks by the Wolves make little sense to me. We're in a need-to-win-now mode, and instead we draft two similar players - rim defenders that can't shoot - who are both projects. Two Rudy clones. For the second pick they should have stuck with Fleming. After they kept dropping down, I was...
