    Koi Perich is the man

    Pfft, that's nothing. I told everyone sitting by me he was going to intercept that pass before the play even started. ;)

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    The New York Giants have used "ny" on their helmets over the years. But, sure, it's certainly unusual.

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    Not really, it's been the same for as long as I can remember.

    Was Henderson Injured?

    Yep, he stepped up nicely. I had to look him up on the roster since I couldn't recall who wore #24 on defense and his hair obscured the nameplate on his jersey.

    Any LA residents on the Hole?

    We are staying in Old Town. Hotel recommended the shuttle vs. walking to the Rose Bowl. Is it a difficult or unpleasant walk? Also, does the shuttle keep running as long as there are people waiting postgame?

    USC = the new Nebraska?

    Yeah, they are smug group. In fairness to them, there is no way a traditional blueblood like USC with all the resource advantages they have should ever lose to some nondescript program from flyover country. Or something like that.

    The Band Pit

    With Fleetwood Mac? That would be quite a feat. They did play Tusk, or at least an abridged version of Tusk, during the game from their perch.

    All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Twins Off-Season Thread

    I attended this game! If my memory is correct, Gagne hit three balls to Daryl Boston in CF. Boston lost two flies in the roof of the Metrodome, one went for the first HR and the second he legged into a triple. In between, he hit a softer liner that bounced over Boston's head and rolled all the...

    Transfer QB for 2025

    Absolutely entitled to your opinion. We aren't going to be friends, though.

    Post-Week 6 Field of 12 Projection: Alabama remains in for now despite loss to (wait for it. ...) Vandy

    Actually, Purdue has won three of their last eight with the Buckeyes. Sadly, the team you were looking for to complete your comparison is probably Minnesota. (Twelve losses in a row, 1-29 in the last 30 against OSU.)

    Curt Cignetti’s Contract

    The number that stands out to me is that, on December 1, his buyout drops from $8M to $6M. No idea whether he has eyes for a bigger job, but that buyout figure isn't going to stop any school higher up the food chain from going after him and, at his age, the time to move on is short. I will be...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Bad enough that the starting QBs piss on each other's practice fields.

    When will PJ stick up for his team?

    I think the rule is that you can't block before the ball goes 10 yards, which I think we either did or were very close to doing.

    Is it time to admit PJ (and staff) can coach?

    They didn't have time to get the field goal unit on the field for any reason other than that they had predetermined that they were going to run on the field as soon as any play ended in bounds. Any hesitation or deviation from that plan would have killed the rest of the clock. PJ didn't know...

    Going beyond "ack acka dack"...

    Sorry to be so late to the party, it's been a busy weekend and I am just catching up on the board. Can confirm SON's report. In a blatant effort to save face, PA then pretended to have meant tough, rugby-type players and wondered if Fleck had ever thought about trying to find someone like that...

    Adding insult to injury, took me 65 minutes to get out of parking garage last night

    I was in shorts and a t-shirt, so it wasn't all that blustery, but I get your point. Still, you should hang out with us sometime. We all felt a lot better after a couple of postgame beers, some conversations with fans from both sides and watching some other games. Far better (for me at least)...

    All Things 2024/25 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    I don't think UNLV ever really had a "legit shot at the playoffs," nor do I know much money they have or could have paid him. That's why I included "if he's telling the truth" in my response. But he's not saying he was shorted "a few thousand dollars," it's far more than that. If the...

    Isn’t the offensive line the biggest issue?

    Hey, I sit right next to those guys at the stadium!

    I get the sentiment, but if he's telling the truth, it's hard to blame him too much. He's not an NFL player, he's got one year to capitalize on this crazy new system. How long would you keep going to your job if they told you they were only going to pay you 10-15% of what they promised?
