    Another recruiting tool for coach Fleck? The city of Minneapolis?

    There aren't many places worse than Cabrini in its day, so picking the worst and saying Mpls is good in comparison really isn't accurate to the troubles Mpls is facing. If Mpls didn't have a socialist city council I might see more hope, but the council is, as I see it, the least inclusive it...

    Another recruiting tool for coach Fleck? The city of Minneapolis?

    Have you dropped into Little Mogadishu lately? Just get off the blue line at the Cedar/Riverside stop and walk around the neighborhood at night. Enjoy. BTW, Chicago razed Cabrini Green about 25 years ago.

    Amateur College Football Officially Dead: Judge OK's $2.8B settlement, paving way for colleges to pay athletes

    When I got tickets to last year's Michigan v Minnesota football game at Ann Arbor, I got on one of their mailing lists. Here's the email I just received from the Michigan AD regarding the effects of the judges decision and how it affects Michigan. "Dear Michigan Fans, Alumni, and Supporters...

    PP pre-season conversation with Medved

    Understanding offensive tendencies of teammates takes a lot more work than defensive help responsibilities. It sounds like Niko runs more of a Princeton offense rather than motion offense. If the players haven't been exposed to his offense then I completely understand the emphasis on offense as...

    All things biking.

    I haven't really noticed it, except about a week ago when I had a climb out of the River valley and I could smell the smoke. My lungs felt a bit less thrilled with the exertion, but it wasn't unbearable. So far I think the warnings have been mostly precautionary for those with chronic asthma and...

    All things biking.

    Thanks for the information on e-bikes. I will have to accept Father time eventually and your point about riding in wind is valid and worth pondering. In the southeast side of the metro there are some nice hills and a few coulees (ravines with creeks that dry up in summer) that wind you up and...

    All things biking.

    Did a 24 mile ride on Wednesday with my 20 year old son. Total elevation climbed was 1272 feet. My quads hurt afterward. I am past my days where I ride a lot of miles, but I still enjoy getting out and seeing the sites around the metro. I live in the bluff area so there's a lot of ups and...

    Re-ranking all 18 Big Ten football helmets from worst to first (16. Minnesota Golden Gophers)

    I didn't read the article, but I have always thought Michigan's helmet and the maize & blue colors stood out over others. Maybe it's because it is less common than the variant shades of red that are predominant in college sports.

    Another recruiting tool for coach Fleck? The city of Minneapolis?

    Honestly, I simply don't like driving through pot hole streets. Mpls is terrible and St Paul isn't much better. The infrastructure of the city seems to be breaking up. I just went to Minnehaha Falls and steps are breaking with one path entirely blocked off. The city seems to be more and more...

    B.J. Omot will miss summer workouts with a leg injury.

    Is this a continuation from the injury he had at Cal?

    Another recruiting tool for coach Fleck? The city of Minneapolis?

    The European flatlands of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark are filled with bikers. I love biking and enjoy the trails around the Twin Cities. From my place I can quickly be on a trail that would bring me all the way to Prescott, Wisconsin, Stillwater, or through Minneapolis and up to Elm...

    I have relatives in St Louis and the west side (specifically the north side) is bad. Of course there are pockets of good. Like Mpls, each block will have a different vibe. One block may be neighbors bonding together while the next may be terrorized by gang violence. We humans are odd.

    Of course. St Louis, Baltimore, and Chicago come to mind.

    Another recruiting tool for coach Fleck? The city of Minneapolis?

    Vancouver is much worse regarding driving around the city. They essentially have one freeway and it runs along the outer eastern edge. Trying to get to the University of British Columbia is just a mess and you better take the Skytrain downtown. In addition you should never own a car bigger than...

    TYSON TO GOPHERS

    Tubby's biggest struggle was he had no ball movement in his offense and the game became stagnant. Watching Niko's offense at Colorado State, he had much better ball movement that got good looks for open shots. Tubby, however, recruited better pure athletes. It's unknown if Niko's players can...

    TYSON TO GOPHERS

    Do you think Niko's offense will improve these stats or not?

    Guess USC wasn't the high point in the recruitment process.

    I like Dawn's recruiting and she is clearly a better coach than Lindsey was. Also, Dawn has kept the recruits while Lindsey was losing players. I am happily confident that our trend is upward.
