    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I can't do the horrendous ABC resolution. It's just bad. I have a large 4K TV, so I need any kind of resolution boost I can get.

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    Bold: Vikings should have won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 2009. They were better than the teams they lost to in the NFC Championship, and both those teams both the Saints went on to win the SB. Would be interesting to know how that would impact the Minnesota sports psyche if they have both happened.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    For whatever it might be worth to you all: I am watching the game on ESPN News channel (I have YouTubeTV) and it is a far superior broadcast, both in terms of resolution as well as commentary and graphics. YMMV

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Bold: I asked you first, to explain how it's possible that when Conley is has been on the floor we've won the game. My thoughts are simplistic: the Twolves must win these next two if they want a shot, and they have nothing to lose. So why not try something? Maybe he's too old to play more...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    I was talking about if he should give an interview about all the things sooner rather than later. Not if he should give one at all. I think that would be borderline preposterous to never speak on it, ever. Happy to agree to disagree.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    You don't think that the conditions of his hiring, both regarding what was happening in Mpls at that time, as well as that he had zero college head coaching experience period and had been turned down by Montana State and Northern Illinois (if memory serves correctly), made his hire as HC at a P4...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    If it's like you say ..... you never actually explained, how is this possible??? Ant's +/- for the whole time he's in doesn't prove or disprove a single thing about the +/- comparison of Conley being in vs Conley being out. My wild guess is that Ant's +/- for when he (Ant) was in (you say...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Your wording is much more accurate. Not sure why I used the word host. As you said the quarters/2nd round are at bowl games. So yes, just the first round byes will go to the best four teams in the CFP rankings rather than the four highest ranked conference champions.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    That's fair. I guess I look at it like this (admittedly a very small and biased viewpoint): - Vikings in 2022 won the division at 13-4, hosted the 9-7-1 Giants, and biffed it - Vikings in 2024 did not win the division at 14-3, did not get to host, had to go out to 10-7 LA Rams, and biffed it...

    Nothing wrong with anything you said here. I still disagree. I like having each division winner get you something. Otherwise, there's no point in having divisions at all (other than as scheduling pods).

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    OKC beat Denver by 43(!) in the 2nd game, and that series went to 7. We lost the first game to Warriors by 11 (yeah, admittedly that's not the same as 26) and people were gulping, then we came back hard in the 2nd game. I'm hopeful, but obviously the response in game 2 is massive. Let's see

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I was hoping to come on here and read some good news, but seems the overall sentiment so far is something like less than 50/50 optimistic. Losing in the Conf Finals two years in a row, with a still active "streak" for the state/market, would be a very bitter one to swallow.

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    Not sure if any HBO folks stuck around to watch The Pitt. To me, really good TV has three ingredients: very well done (production, acting, writing, etc.), entertaining, and an escape from everyday reality. This show has the first in spades. Very well done, and they deserve awards. But man...

    Big Ten QB Power Rankings: Post-spring tiers for every B1G QB room (Very worrisome: Minnesota (Drake Lindsey))

    So are they saying that if we were some major program, we would've brought in a stud transfer QB through the portal, and since we did not do that, therefore we are [bad X,Y,Z]?

    Revisions to roster limits in House vs. NCAA settlement propose ‘grandfathering’ in response to judge’s ultimatum

    Yes, exactly. So here's the thing: in the old way, there were no roster limits. Gopher volleyball could have 70 players, if it wanted. Gopher women's soccer could have 100 players. Gopher rowing could have 200. Etc. I'm simply saying, there was no limit as a rule. In other words, you could...
