    Bob Newhart, Comedy Icon, Dies at 94

    Didn't get to see him do stand up in person until he was well past his prime, but what a treat. A true legend of the art form. RIP Dr. Hartley.

    They were in a display near the registers at my Costco a week ago.

    Mike Gundy seemingly admitting to driving under the influence "a thousand times in my life" in defense of star player's DUI arrest.

    Food absolutely impacts the rate of absorption of alcohol into your system and thus your BAC at any specific point thereafter. (See pharmacygopher's post above.) Blood and breath tests actually do not always yield identical results. But they are two methods of trying to measure the BAC of the...

    Mike Gundy seemingly admitting to driving under the influence "a thousand times in my life" in defense of star player's DUI arrest.

    Refusing the test at the station isn't an automatic DWI, it's a violation of Minnesota's implied consent law. (Which is based on the idea that, when you apply for a DL in Minnesota, you are consenting to being tested if suspected of driving under the influence.) The result of refusing a field...

    Mike Gundy seemingly admitting to driving under the influence "a thousand times in my life" in defense of star player's DUI arrest.

    Yes, it is "literally" how much alcohol is in your bloodstream. But the factors I mentioned impact how quickly that alcohol enters and exits your bloodstream. So two 45 year-old men who each weigh 200 pounds and each consumed six shots of Cuervo an hour ago may not have the exact same BAC...

    While you should keep in mind that many factors (e.g., your overall health and metabolism, food consumed, drinking history, etc.) can impact your individual result on any given day, here's a tool that you can use to ballpark it. BAC Calculator

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

    What money goes to the U? They may take a handling fee, but the ticket money goes to UCLA. I have asked people in the athletic department and they have told me straight out that they don't benefit from fans buying road game tickets through the U.

    They could sell more tickets since it's a larger venue, but any campus conflicts on that Friday night or Saturday would be minimal. Finals are over on Thursday.

    CFP teams hosting questions

    The games are December 20 and 21. Could it be below zero? Sure. It could also be 50. The average high those days is 26 and the average low is 13. Cold, but I'd be shocked if the U couldn't sell out a playoff game on those dates and we've played through weather before. Who gives a shit...

    They could, but I can't imagine that they would. PJ embraces the cold and I think he feels that it would be an advantage against almost any potential opponent. Gene Smith won't still be the AD at Ohio State when such a decision could be made, but he's indicated in the past that he leaned...

    Les Miles sues LSU claiming vacated wins have eliminated him from College Football Hall of Fame consideration

    Wait, Les is voluntarily initiating a process that will result in him giving testimony, under oath, and the subject matter will include "his good name and reputation?" That's a bold choice, let's see if it pays off for him.

    Gophers legend Greg Eslinger named to College HOF ballot.

    There is a difference between a retired jersey and a retired number. A retired number means no one will be issued that number (e.g. Paul Giel's number 10). A retired jersey is a recognition of the player without taking the number out of circulation (e.g. Sandy Stephens' number 15). The...

    That's true of some, but lots of UMD fans are also Gopher football fans, Gopher basketball fans, etc.

    Paul Bunyan Axe to be played on Black Friday.

    Keep us posted, but I think that you are barking up the wrong tree. A truthful reply from the conference would be along the lines of "If you want your opinion to matter, you should direct your request to our network partners, they call the shots."

    North Carolina on FOX; Rhode Island 11AM on Peacock

    Not to nitpick, but saying the Maryland game will start at 11:00am, 2:30pm or 3:00pm isn't really "announcing a start time."

    Paul Bunyan Axe to be played on Black Friday.

    Nice exposure, I guess, but I am less likely to attend on Friday than I would have been on Saturday, so I don't like it.

    All Things Gopher Baseball

    Fair enough. By "splashy" I meant an experienced head coach from a lower level program that might excite the baseball people or a recognizable name that might generate some interest among the more general population. Could have used a different adjective.
