    All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

    Still much more of an impact on the LA players than the Vikes. Maybe we end up with a home game after all?

    All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

    LA burning is bad, but it's probably good for the Vikings. This is going to have an impact on the LA coaches and players. Hard to prep for a game when your city is burning.

    PJ was hired 8 years ago today. What grade would you give the Fleck era?

    He's done great - inspite of limited budgets for assistant coaches and NIL - but he never uses that as an excuse. Think of where we were at the year before he arrived. Several players were accused of gang rape of a passed-out-drunk cheerleader, and the entire team voted to boycott their bowl...

    Mayo announcers may have been worst ever

    I thought the announcers were pretty solid. It's meant to be a fun bowl game vs a serious playoff game, and they had fun with it. I'm all in for the "let's have more fun" side of this game vs "let's play some really serious ball". That also showed with the play selection - lots of plays that PJ...

    B1G vs SEC

    After all that smack from ESPN about how dominant the SEC is in football, the B1G is now 4-1 vs the SEC with the only SEC win being Missouri barely squeaking by Iowa. The BIG also has two teams in the CFP semis, with the SEC only having one (with Texas having to go to overtime to advance)...

    Fubo vs YouTubeTV vs Others

    I've been using YouTubeTV for several years now, but am thinking of switching to Fubo to get better regional sports coverage. If you're using Fubo (or something else), do you recommend it to others?

    Top Ten Movies I Watched in '24

    My favorite documentary film of the year is unfortunately going to be hard for a lot of folks to see - "Ancient Beacons Long for Notice,” by Dario Robleto. But, at least you can read a bit about it here (enter any made up email address), and watch a brief clip from the Director as to what the...

    Lindenberg Declares for NFL

    Here's hoping he makes it to the NFL... ... but IMO he would have been better off collecting some additional NIL money and another year in the B1G.

    Which QB do the Vikes draft in 2024?

    If you keep Darnold, you're signing someone to a really large multi-year contract, which means you no longer have that money to spend on other players. With the salary cap, can we keep the existing team intact and sign Darnold.

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    Not sure he'd come here. I think Eric Henderson (SD State) would, and probably Bucky McMillan (Samford) as well. Whoever we get, I think we need to move early (e.g., February) vs waiting until after the season.

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I was always a bit jealous of the Auzzie punters other teams had on their roster. I mean, how did IOWA get Dakin, and we got Crawford? Also, Crawford was way below average on scrambling for a first down. The guy could have been outrun by a sloth.

    Gopher Football 2025 Schedule - How Many Wins?

    In college, we named our dorm floor's softball team "BYE", and thought it was great until nobody was showing up for our games. We won by forfeit, so more time to drink beers, but still not getting to play was kind of a bummer.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Because they miss coaching. A lot of folks retire, and then want to go back to work, but don't want to do it on a full-time or long-term basis. The new temp coach wouldn't worry about recruiting or fundraising, which is a huge time sink that's gotta be a pretty miserable part of the job, and...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Coyle is a very real problem. IMO, with NIL, we need an AD that can market the program and bring in "investors" to raise the needed dollars. Coyle is exactly the opposite. The guy has the marketing charisma of a turnip. If you're a coach looking to move up to a new landing spot, without...

    Final Field of 12 projection (what I think committee will do & what I would do)

    Here's my change as to how you select the 12: Teams in the P4 that get into their conference championship game are automatically in. The top two (or may one) ranked teams from other conferences that played in their championship game are in. Leaving two (or maybe three) spots for teams that did...

    Final Field of 12 projection (what I think committee will do & what I would do)

    Texas/Dallas is a lot bigger TV market than Alabama/Tuscaloosa, but ESPN will always work to protect the SEC.
