    Who do you want to win the Super Bowl ?

    The Bills at least have the dignity of knowing that since their last Super Bowl lost, their team hasn't also gone 0-4 in the conference championship games... ... being a fan of MN sports is hard, but we do have the awesome Gopher's dance team (that and the Gophers won the national bass fishing...

    Who do you want to win the Super Bowl ?

    The Bills, because their fan base has had to suffer the indignity of them going 0-4 in Super Bowl games. No fan base should have to endure that shame.

    American Single Malt Whiskey

    Starting today, American Single Malt Whiskey is now a thing. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has made it official. Under the new rule, a liquor can only be legally defined as an American single malt whiskey if it’s made from a fermented mash of 100% malted barley produced in the...

    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?

    All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

    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)...
