    2024-25 Wild Season

    After the hit, no one challenged McDavid, no enforcer to let Edmonton know we wouldn't be pushed around. I get he's their star, but he used a cheap hit to send one of guys to the locker room. I didn't see anyone even line him into the boards.

    Former Players on Culture

    Are there any draft pick stats as to which college team's players "over-produce" vs "under-produce", meaning the players end up doing better or worse than the slot in which they were drafted? It seems that with the Winfield's and such that have come from Fleck's teams, the Gophers are a solid...

    B1G vs SEC

    Case closed. The SEC is definatly below the B1G - we're on top, we win.

    4 vs 12 Teams

    Twenty teams in the playoffs is too much dilution of the importance of the regular season for me. This means one of Missouri/Ole Miiss/Bama/LSU/SC/Texas A&M, who all went 5-3 in the SEC, would have been in this year's playoffs. Per your plan, there are 20 teams in the playoff field, 12 of which...

    4 vs 12 Teams

    I like that each conference only gets one team into the bye round. In college football, the rich get richer. Keeping it to one-team-only helps to give more visibility to conferences other than B1G and SEC, which I think is needed to keep college football strong. If the playoffs end up being...

    B1G vs SEC

    And with Texas losing, the SEC is done playing. Here's the wrap on B1G vs SEC: The BIG ends up going 5-1 vs SEC in all bowl games And 2-0 vs SEC in the playoff games. The B1G won those playoff games vs the SEC by an average of 19.5 points. The B1G advanced two teams to the semi-finals, the SEC...

    A walk-off home run is pretty cool, a walk-off punt is elite. Congrats to NDSU :clap:

    All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

    I'd give it about 90% odds that it gets moved. The NFL is justifiably worried about its image - having a game next to burned-out areas isn't a good image. Move the game, have a moment of silence before the game, and it would look much better. I'm guessing that the Rams will also leave LA early...

    Any stats on how many screen plays we ran during that game? If they're blitzing 6 players, a screen play is an obvious call.

    Still much more of an impact on the LA players than the Vikes. Maybe we end up with a home game after all?

    LA burning is bad, but it's probably good for the Vikings. This is going to have an impact on the LA coaches and players. Hard to prep for a game when your city is burning.

    PJ was hired 8 years ago today. What grade would you give the Fleck era?

    He's done great - inspite of limited budgets for assistant coaches and NIL - but he never uses that as an excuse. Think of where we were at the year before he arrived. Several players were accused of gang rape of a passed-out-drunk cheerleader, and the entire team voted to boycott their bowl...

    Mayo announcers may have been worst ever

    I thought the announcers were pretty solid. It's meant to be a fun bowl game vs a serious playoff game, and they had fun with it. I'm all in for the "let's have more fun" side of this game vs "let's play some really serious ball". That also showed with the play selection - lots of plays that PJ...

    B1G vs SEC

    After all that smack from ESPN about how dominant the SEC is in football, the B1G is now 4-1 vs the SEC with the only SEC win being Missouri barely squeaking by Iowa. The BIG also has two teams in the CFP semis, with the SEC only having one (with Texas having to go to overtime to advance)...

    Fubo vs YouTubeTV vs Others

    I've been using YouTubeTV for several years now, but am thinking of switching to Fubo to get better regional sports coverage. If you're using Fubo (or something else), do you recommend it to others?

    Top Ten Movies I Watched in '24

    My favorite documentary film of the year is unfortunately going to be hard for a lot of folks to see - "Ancient Beacons Long for Notice,” by Dario Robleto. But, at least you can read a bit about it here (enter any made up email address), and watch a brief clip from the Director as to what the...

    Lindenberg Declares for NFL

    Here's hoping he makes it to the NFL... ... but IMO he would have been better off collecting some additional NIL money and another year in the B1G.
