    Conference Realignment Updates

    For those interested in the (robust) legal saga surrounding this move: https://nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters/why-sunday-could-be-a-huge-day-for-the-future-of-the-pac-12-and-mountain-west Pac 12 still needs to add one more full football-playing member (can't be a football affiliate to pair...

    CFP 5+11 model gaining traction as leaders eye next steps

    They are one school short, as you need 8 full members who play football and they are currently scheduled to be at 8 by 2026-27 but with one of those being Gonzaga. There aren't any great options that seem to be on the table. There is quite the on-going (legal) saga surrounding all this. For...

    CFP 5+11 model gaining traction as leaders eye next steps

    Aren't there still 10 FBS conferences? The PAC-12 is going to survive by taking Mountain West teams, which itself is also still going to survive. The CUSA also has managed to survive.

    CFP 5+11 model gaining traction as leaders eye next steps

    If they do go 5+11, the SEC could get a huge number of teams into the playoff every year by not going to a 9th conference game and using the extra game to schedule cupcakes. (4 teams seem locked into yearly in-state rivalry games with ACC teams, while some newer SEC teams seem to have escaped...

    Great Reusse column on his lifelong fandom of our Gophers!

    To be honest, I think the powers that be are going to push for having playoff games other than the championship all played at home venues, at some point in the future. For now, the major bowl games are clinging to relevance as sites for the quarter and semi-finals. Would love the Rose and one...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    At the end of the day, all we can do is grant or withhold our viewership. That's the only thing that actually registers, that we actually have control of. I'm choosing to change the channel.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Also curious what people think on this: should there be some kind of rule change, with whatever stipulations you want (eg. only late in the game, only if a team is down by 3 or less, etc.) such that a foul outside the 3pt line automatically gives 3 free throw shots? Blasphemy?

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    We lost by 2. Randle was 1-7 FG (14.3%) Ant was 5-13 FG (38.5%) Sure, I can buy that Ant was heavily guarded/limited by their defense. But I saw plenty of solid shot attempts he took that just would not go in. Super stars make the ball go in the hoop.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    This was fun to watch, no matter what. Fighting for their lives, scrapping. This game I agree with Truthseeker's early post about no shame in losing to this team. I disagreed with that for the first two games. But not this game.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Damn. Feels like any time we have a chance to tie, the shot won't go. Then goes back to bouncing around 3-7 lead for OKC.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Why is OKC able to poke (or whatever you want to call it) the ball out of our hands so often?? Are we especially terrible at preventing that for some reason, or are they exceptionally good at it, or ...?
