I turned off that UCLA game last night thinking we didn't have a chance, yet we come out with the win. I also gave up on this team a month ago thinking we didn't have a chance to make it to the dance, but here we are. If we make it to the bubble conversation, having a solid finish to the season...

For me the Rose Bowl was sort of like when you go to a movie that everyone says is great - best ever, and you come out thinking it was really solid but not quite great. It just didn't quite live up to what were my high expectations. Same for Michigan and Notre Dame stadiums. BTW, if you like...

Looks like "The Bank" comes in at number four in terms of how much it cost to build (which surprises me a bit). I've only been to three stadiums on this list, and I sort of like the Bank the best out of those three. The site lines are certainly the best. My favorite overall is Texas (they...

What happened to Bethel - after a more than decent start (11 wins - 4 losses), they lost their last eight games of the season.

I believe Damian Johnson is the coach at Benilde-St. Margaret's, and previously he was the coach at North St. Paul where he made them a solid team. I wonder if he will stick to coaching at the highschool level or try to move up to college teams? If so, whoever is the next Gopher's coach should...

Obviously wished he would have stayed, but it's good to see a former Gopher making it in the league.

No way they rush him back no matter how we do down the stretch. Next year is a contract year, we're not going to make him play unless he feels he's ready to play.

Some data to back up my statement:

Tarvaris Jackson (and his Super Bowl ring) says hi 👋

I'm not buying into the "doesn't have an arm" narrative. Max has a very short, compact and quick delivery, which IMO is huge for the NFL. Many of his throws were completely flat-footed - he didn't even move his front foot. That's all arm strength. That quick release is IMO a big deal in the...

Why would any coach prefer the college game over the NFL these days? NFL, you get to focus on just football. With college, you've got recruiting (and more recruiting, and more...), meeting with boosters to get NIL dollars, kids that can decide anytime to quit and transfer to another team...

I don't think having everyone gone next year except for Assuma is necessarily bad. The new coach really needs a clean slate of players, and with the portal, that can happen. Key is getting the new coach named early.

Or move indoors to USB Bank. I'm not sure how that'd work either, but at least it'd be warm...

There's also a big movement happening to push MLS into becoming a winter sport vs the current summer sport schedule. If it does, I'll be dropping my Loons season tickets. Not interested in going to an outdoor soccer game when it's that cold outside...

Lots of questions - few answers at this point in time. I think this would be in direct competition to MLS-Next, so I doubt they'd be a source of revenue. As an example, the Minneapolis Crows somehow survive as a semi-pro soccer team (I'm guessing very few people know they exist, along with...

Not sure where this fits in the threads, but since soccer is aka "football" I'll place it here. In a short summary, it looks like the B1G and ACC conferences are about to announce that their teams are going to in a sense leave the NCAA and join the US Soccer Federation to become a new semi-pro...

Lobo's defeated UNLV today to go to 17-4 on the season and 9-1 in the conference

So, the rumor mill seems to be focused on three players we'll be adding: Nicolás Romero, Ho-yeon Jeong and now Owen Gene. Owen is a classic 6, so he'd be a Will Trapp replacement once Trapp retires.

I'm a big fan of the Eels, and it just happened that Steve Perry turned up at the concert.
