    Do the Twins make/miss the playoffs?

    We have a decent schedule for the remaining 19 games, so I think we'll make it into the show. Note that the Royals and Tigers play each other for 3 games, so that'll help in our division standings (and we play the Guardians for four games where we need to at least spilt the series).

    All Things 2024 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

    I went to one of their games last year - was on the campus for the regional cross-country championships and as I was leaving the football game was playing so I stuck around to watch. They have a really neat old stadium - I like the old ones better than the new. They went 7-3 last year, 5-3 in...

    @Ope3 Will Carleton be playing home games in their stadium? I remember the river ran right next to that field, and there being quite a bit of flooding on the field earlier this summer. Did the turf come back well enough to play?

    I'm going with Texas in that game, it'll be a fun one to watch. If it were later in the season, maybe Michigan, but this early, Texas with their returning players and coach has the advantage.

    The best QB in the nation may be the Texas backup QB - Arch Manning. He really looked good, but yes, it'd be a lot more impressive if he was playing against a better team.

    San Jose is the worst team in the league, and it was great that we got them on our schedule = we really needed a win. We were clearly the better side, but San Jose is bad. Also, we still don't know how to play with the lead. We've blown so many games in the final minutes. Even is this game, in...

    Some more I suppose useless info on Voyager... I stopped in to visit the Carter Museum in Fort Worth TX, and they have an exhibit/movie focused on the "golden record" that was included in the Voyager satellites. The movie is called, "Ancient Beacons Long for Notice”. If you get a chance, stop...

    Red Baron Pizza Deal is Back

    Not sure how fast these tickets will go. Last night I got three tickets for the Maryland game, and in my selecting the seats (you're limited to the upper deck corners) there weren't a lot of 'em left. BTW, on-line orders work fine for this deal. Target delivered them to my house for a cost of...

    There's only one MLB park that still has a keyhole - the path between home plate and the mound - and that's Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers since 2000.

    They've had about three weeks of practice time for some players, but yes, most of the newcomers are just arriving now and don't even have their visa's in place. If we can make the playoffs this year, I consider that a win. And we're in MUCH better shape going into next year than we we're at the...

    Lots of changes, which I think are some pretty significant upgrades. IMO we still need a defensive midfielder as Trapp's contract expires this year. + FWD Kelvin Yeboah (DP) + CAM Yoaquin Pereyra (DP) + CB Jefferson Diaz + RWB Matus Kmet + LWB Anthony Markanich + CAM Samuel Shashoua - MF/WB...

    Thought I'd start a thread for local bands, which IMO is where music really takes off. I'll take a local band in a small venue over a light show touring band at US Bank stadium anytime. Here's one local band for you:

    Here's a fact that I'm guessing very few people know. The first president of the United States wasn't George Washington... ... The first president was John Hanson. It all depends how you define the word "President". John Hanson served as the first president of the United States In Congress...

    Each "blob" is about 60 square miles in size with a pack of maybe a dozen (probably less), so a lot of turf for a small group.

    I have a friend that works at the International Wolf Center up in Ely. If you're ever in the neighborhood, do stop in to check it out, plus you can go howling with them at night to talk with the wolves.
