    New York Times in talks to buy The Athletic

    Uggghhhh... that would probably push me off the subscription to The Athletic. Yuck. I can't say I'm surprised though, the way The Athletic has shifted in the last year or two.

    Report on campus doctor raises flags about iconic Michigan coach Bo Schembechler

    There's money to be made in settlements if you just keep digging deep enough

    All Things 2021 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Yup. Finally time to see what Gordon can do at the big league level. One would think he's paid his dues by now. Then again, it looks like a good year to not care that much about baseball. Uggghhh.

    UT to require Longhorn Band to play the ‘Eyes of Texas’ but will create new band for those who oppose song

    Actually not really sure if you're serious here but who knows... so your contention is that the thoughts of people 150-200 years ago are resulting in students being "mocked and denied their humanity" today? Good Lord, we have songs today that say f'k the police and kill the pigs and we're not...

    UT to require Longhorn Band to play the ‘Eyes of Texas’ but will create new band for those who oppose song

    I know there's a chance I'll regret this but I have to ask... fix what exactly? I would have to imagine that approximately 325,000,000 people in the United States couldn't tell you right now not just what any of the words to the song are, but much less likely what its origin is?

    UT to require Longhorn Band to play the ‘Eyes of Texas’ but will create new band for those who oppose song

    While this could be true, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that we could say this about just about every single facet of life in America today, if you really want to look hard enough, and maybe even tilt your head and squint a little bit. One big Rorschach test when you really get down to it

    UT to require Longhorn Band to play the ‘Eyes of Texas’ but will create new band for those who oppose song

    If you can't find racism in something in 2021, you're just not trying hard enough or using your imagination enough.

    All Things 2021 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    A healthy number of reasons why a person would not feel comfortable getting the vaccine, but Howie is going to label Simmons for the rest of his life. Nice work. This is where we are today. I couldn't imagine viewing the world through the lens that you do

    Thorson: "I'm just so thrilled be here. To be home and be part of his program and his vision is unbelievable."

    Great staff addition! Should be a great complement to BJ's coaching skills and the obvious recruiting chops

    All Things 2021 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Talent-wise, it's a no-brainer, especially because they will be in dire need of LB for 2022; I expect them to draft more than one LB. But Damn, I keep hearing rumblings of fairly significant off-field concerns for Parsons. I haven't dug into it because I'm not that interested. I would GUESS...

    2020-2021 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    Jon K with a good piece on the game last night, including the fact that the crowd of about 1,400 gave D-Lo a standing ovation when he entered the game in the 1st? Obviously after a win, everyone is feeling good about themselves but maybe they get things going a little bit? Jon's article was...

    Spring Practice: Speculation, Observation, Rumination

    All in all, I thought he handled it pretty well. It's a presser to kick off Spring Ball, he kept the energy up, keep people engaged and excited; there's some things you're supposed to say in 2021, he took care of that. He hit on a few specifics of some positions but not too much. Love the...

    Thoughts on the Johnson hire from afar

    +1000. Some people are just hell-bent on "helping", when it couldn't be further from the case

    Hallman: Minnesota AD checked our box—he hired a Black coach. Now the question we ask is will Johnson be given the time and support to succeed

    I guess further divisiveness is certainly one way you can go, Charles... Probably not the one that I would chosen but oh well...

    Souhan: If not now, Mark Coyle, when? Past time to diversify Gophers leadership

    I think if you're confused by the mixed messaging of "we need to treat everyone the same and stop looking at skin color" while at the same time "we need to hire a coach with the right color skin", I'm almost certain you are not alone. It is very, very strange, to say the least

    With all-white leadership, Gophers athletic department under fresh scrutiny to improve diversity; Coyle has hired 11 white head coaches

    I don't know where we would be without the benefit of you telling us all how we think. It's really quite impressive

    With all-white leadership, Gophers athletic department under fresh scrutiny to improve diversity; Coyle has hired 11 white head coaches

    I suspect someone like yourself sees racists almost everywhere they look, all day long, just coming at you in waves; inescapable at times it seems.

    With all-white leadership, Gophers athletic department under fresh scrutiny to improve diversity; Coyle has hired 11 white head coaches

    Three women out of 11, which is not a bad number at all, in what is one of the whitest places on earth, Minnesota. Big news, I have no doubt.
