For a year, 'The Sports Capital of the United States' During a 12-month period that began with the Minnesota North Stars playing in the Stanley Cup Final in May 1991, the Twin Cities was, in the words of New York Times columnist George Vecsey, “the sports capital of the United States.” In one...

LOL

In reality I think Sid's role in Sidal Realty was as silent partner to a close friend who handled all of the buying and selling of properties. I am guessing the only part of the business Sid was involved in was to show up to the real estate closings and sign his name wherever he was instructed.

Agreed - that's what I posted.

Fair enough. But if Coyle ends up hiring another white coach there is going to be a whole lot of people and organizations (including his boss at the U, the BOG, and the Governor) who are going request him to provide a detailed report about his efforts to recruit and interview qualified minority...

Serious Questions: Is Megan Ryan in management at the Strib with the authority to hire and fire employees? If Megan Ryan was in management at the Strib with the authority to hire and fire publishers, vice-presidents and editors, does anyone seriously think the management staff would look like...

No one who watched this cover of "Dancing in the Streets" during Live Aid has ever forgotten it.

This is a cover of the Crystals "And Then He Kissed Me" by a group of music students in England. Their teacher gave them 3 hours to learn the song, assign the instruments and singing parts, and then record it. Many of the students weren't playing their primary instrument.

I love this Glenn Campbell and Roy Clark instrumental cover of""Ghost Riders in the Sky".

The Beach Boys covering the Rivingtons "Papa Oom Mow Mow" in 1964 is interesting and fun to hear Brian Wilson on lead vocals before it all fell apart for him.

I like Mark Coyle a lot but he screwed up by refusing to explain the U's decision on 60 minutes. It gave CBS the opportunity to make the case that the University of Minnesota is turning into just another college football factory like so many of the schools in the SEC, ACC, and Big 12...

I agree the "Goal" for the Gopher football team should be to get to Indy a couple of times every five years. Compteting for an NCAA football title will most likely never be in the Gopher's future. The do high school and college football differently down south. It's almost like they are...
