    All Things 2024 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    I haven't been able to watch a single Twins game legally this season, and they've sucked so much ass that I haven't bothered to look for an illegal stream.

    It's official: College football is adding the two-minute warning, helmet communication

    He's the worst poster to come aboard recently. He's either a bit (and sucks at it, as it's not funny, clever, original, noteworthy) or is sincere and is really, really stupid. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it's the former, but neither is flattering.

    All Things 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    People will literally bitch about anything, won't they? Everyone (rightly) bitched about the 8 pm start times for a ton of Gophers and Timberwolves home games this year. Everyone here hates the 9:30 pm starts for West Coast games. Now, there's a 6:30 pm start and you're still bitching. Would...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    There's no way that number is accurate. The Mets played in the World Series in 2015.

    All Things 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    Wolves have played like shit, including a franchise-record 19 turnovers in one half (and considering the history of this franchise, that's saying something). That being said - the bias of the refs is disgusting. Any way they can spin any call in the Suns favor, they do. The NBA has their...

    Emanuel Karmo Commits to Gophers!!!!!

    Oh, and very recently in the 2024 class, Jide Abasiri.

    Aaron Witt comes to mind.

    Spring Practice Observations

    Neat. No, I can't match that, as I've already said. Unlike you, I have the humility to know that I am worse at coaching football than the OL coach for a Big Ten team. How many NFL players did you produce during your illustrious tenure? How did the end of your tenure go so poorly that you've been...

    OJ has passed away

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but he died on April 10. So isn't the joke that the juice expired on April 10? Is there something more I'm not getting, or does this person just suck at meming?

    2023-2024 College Basketball Coaches Hired/Fired Thread

    We aren't, never were, and never will be even remotely approaching Kentucky. This hire is embarrassing for them. This is worse than us hiring Ben Johnson. That's not to say that it can't or won't work out, as stranger things have happened, but on paper this is a disaster.

    Spring Practice Observations

    You're right, I was thinking that as I typed it, that $50K might even be a little high. I looked it up in the interim, and NSU moved from the NAIA to NCAA in 1995 (can't believe it was that long ago), so they were definitely in NCAA Division II when I took the course. And, again, this guy (a...

    Spring Practice Observations

    Yes, a know-nothing message board dipshit knows more about OL coaching than a guy who has been paid millions of dollars to coach the position and has put multiple players in the NFL. Get a fucking clue. More than 20 years ago, when I was still harboring dreams of teaching and coaching at the...

    Northwestern home games

    The relevant math is elementary - it's calculating interest, it's not rocket science. Do you think endowment managers use calculus? Yes, for people managing multi-billion dollar endowments, $100M is a rounding error. You saying that I don't understand endowments, while advancing no argument...

    Northwestern home games

    Yes, I'm well aware of how endowments work, as I have been working in philanthropy for almost 20 years, and specifically in higher ed philanthropy for 13 years. The typical payout is actually more like 4-4.5% for most endowments, more conservative because it allows them to fund ongoing projects...

    Northwestern home games

    Yes, they are. Of course, they would prefer not to pay it, and fighting it will be cheaper than just accepting it, so they are in court. But even if forced to pay a "huge" settlement, it is a literal drop in the bucket. Even if they pay $100M, they will have recouped that loss strictly from...

    Northwestern home games

    Yes, with their $16B endowment, I'm sure finding the cash will be difficult. $100M is a rounding error for them. Imagine that you have $160,000 in an investment account, and you have to withdraw $1,000 to buy a new set of tires. That's the equivalent of what the Fitzgerald lawsuit is -...

    It would be difficult for it to be more embarrassing than Ryan Field.

    2023-2024 College Basketball Coaches Hired/Fired Thread

    We already had a coach who was "otherwise out of our league," and how did that work out? He was a half-step shy of being hung in effigy for the horrible crime of only making it to the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament. "That's all." I did a search for posts made by you containing the word...
