    St. Thomas recruit Ramogi Nyagodi

    The problem isn't securing the property, it's putting up the arena. The neighbors have it tied up in court.

    I listen in the car on the 102.9 simulcast. But if iHeart gets the Twins: Say it's April, and both the Wolves and Wild are in the playoffs and the NBA & NHL schedule both teams on the same Tuesday (I use Tuesday because there won't be a day game for the Twins). I would guess: Wild - KFAN...

    Depending on where you live, parking on the A-Line or Green Line on the street and taking the bus or train is a great way to get to the game.

    My alma mater, St. Paul Highland Park, only plays 2 other St. Paul schools. They open with Johnson, and play their pre-MEA game against Central. They have a Saturday game @ Kennedy, plus they play the school right on the other side of the Mississippi from them (Two Rivers).

    All Things 2024 Olympics!!

    This is the first time I have heard Tim Howard in the booth. I have always thought he was a solid studio guy. His commentary is very Roy Smalley-like, without the condensation. He manages to get the minutia in there without sounding like a "know-it-all". One of the comments that stuck was...

    The kid who played the title role was awesome. Also, I didn't recognize Dan Stevens. He was sufficiently over the top in his role.

    All Things 2024 Olympics!!

    Mike Tirico was on Dan Patrick yesterday and he commented that one of his favorite sports to watch was Team Handball and wondered why the USA isn't better. He went on to make the same suggestion I have been making for years: Recruit basketball players, mainly 3 & D guys that have trouble with...

    Rugby 7's is perfect for the American short attention span. Seven on a side makes the action go very fast, and 7 minute halves means you don't have to pay attention very long.

    The few times I went to St. Paul campus to tailgate, there were plenty of parking spots available. You have to take the shuttle, but there is tailgating there.

    That it was 0-0 at HT surprised me. I thought the back line did a great job keeping organized for that half. No Pepi or Reyna (who are both age eligible). Blame PSV and Dortmund for not releasing them. Unlike official FIFA tournaments, clubs do not have to release players for the Olympics.

    Unless Ben has taken to the Twins method of injury reporting, I take CBJ at his word that Dawson will be ready for fall practice.

    Stanton debuted at age 20, while Judge went to college and debuted at age 24. Those 6 years @ 21+ HRs a year is the difference.

    I hate to bring religion into this, but the metaphor I think of when assessing HOF is Noah. The bible says that Noah was righteous in his time. Theologians have argued about what that means. Does it mean that the bar was so low that an average man would rise above it? Looking at HOF that way...

    Twins First Half Poll

    I went Castro, Alcala, and SWR. I was surprised how effective Castro was both sides of the plate. Alcala showed flashes, but was always hurt. Staying healthy is the surprise for me. SWR is showing why he made the 2021 Olympic team.

    All things biking.

    When I worked the North Star Grand Prix, the last stage was the Stillwater Criterium. That featured Chilkoot Hill, which is .16 KM at an average grade of 13.3%. I think it was close to 20% for the last .08 KM. The men climbed it 20 times, the women 13.
