    I used to take the train when the stadium first opened, but they made it so difficult to get back onto the train after the game - you basically need to walk to the next station. That Target lot sure looks tempting, right next to the stadium and a lot of empty spots... BTW, for the Loons to...

    It was the first really fun game at the stadium that they've had in a while - fun seeing if we could hang on for the win. The backline held - Duggan seems solid - Padelford as well. We need Trapp back as a defensive mid-field that can transition the ball on offense. During this game, DSC...

    UCLA coach DeShaun Foster with a really awkward Big Ten media day opening statement (video)

    A coach should be more prepared than that - he's the face of the program. Per twincities.com, PJ took up basically his entire 15 segment with his speech, leaving time for just a couple questions.

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    One example of how a school cut losses -- after Katrina, Tulane (which was hammered by that Hurricane - they had to shut down the entire school for a semester) cut men's track, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's golf, women's swimming, women's soccer and men's cross-country. Then to get...

    Cool swimming/water polo venue. Seriously though, I visited that stadium last year and really liked it - the whole old-vibe that it has. Hope the stadium (and the field) comes through it all okay.

    Buena Vista Ski Area in Bemidji, is the only ski area in the United states where there is lift served ski hills on two sides of a continental divide. Monarch in Colorado is scheduled to add a chairlift on their back side by the 2025-2026 season, but for now, if you want to ride lifts on both...

    Financially, you can't really shut down MLS for that many weeks, but some items you could do: During those weeks, instead of regular season games have a MLS vs Liga tournament. If that doesn't work, then at least help teams that are missing a lot of international players (say four or more) by...

    All Things 2024 Olympics!!

    Wake up early (as in 4AM), set fencing, watch the race, take down fencing, hang out in the evening with other volunteers, and repeat. It's more fun than I make it sound. It's neat being that close to the race. I guess some volunteers would meet a lot of athletes, depends on what you're doing...

    All things biking.

    I have a love/hate deal going with e-bikes... The hate part: They're heavy and cause a lot of damage to dirt trails, especially this year when the trails have been soft from the rain. People who ride them on trails generally have no idea how to ride them on trails. You get a lot of idiots out...

    I used to volunteer for the Winter Olympics, I worked on the women's alpine events, but stopped when the games were held in Russia (couldn't get away from work that year). If you really want to be part of the "Olympic Experience", volunteer to help out at the games. BTW, the best slots for...

    There it is, what a sight. An 18 team Big Ten.

    I like it, just because WisconSIN is shown where they belong, at the bottom of the list.

    Jedi Robinson and Pulisic are both world class, and maybe Adams and Musah. After that, we're in trouble. We have no plan other than "get the ball to Pulisic". We really need to get rid of Berhalter. He's been a failure everywhere he's coached. The only reason he is our coach is because his...

    For the Loons, add Irwin and Trapp to the injured list. I'm not sure we'll have 11 players for tomorrow's game. Maybe someone from the stands can come in to play keeper. July 18th is when we can finally add some players to our roster.

    ... and some not useless info you should know. Today in history it was Minnesota that won the Civil War and put an end to slavery in America.

    We're not guaranteed to advance even if we beat Uruguay. The upside to us not advancing is that hopefully we finally get rid of Berhaulter. We could have and should have hired Marsch, who was just hired by Canada and now has Canada into the next round.
