    All Things 2025 Tour de France

    Because of watching a number of tours, I have told my wife that if we go to France we can quickly leave Paris and head to various areas that I have seen via the tour. Man made stuff is not nearly as interesting to me as the land and geography of France. Show me the coastline, the grain fields...

    Get to Know Men's Basketball's Cade Tyson

    Based on his comment about catching a catfish on an overnight jug, it's pretty clear he was talking about fishing in another state. I would suggest he fish for muskie at Lake of the Isles. Some of Minnesota's largest muskie are lurking in those waters. More than a few small dogs have met their...

    Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath frontman and icon of British heavy metal, dies aged 76

    Everytime I see someone put their hands up with a peace sign, I think of Ozzy on the cover of Volume 4. I loved Paranoid for its anti-war theme, but for me, Volume 4 may have been the best album.

    All Things 2025 Tour de France

    For a moment it looked like Onley was going to move past Lipowitz, but now the four best in this tour are in a row. Arensman is still 25 seconds ahead with 2 and a half miles to go. Can the yellow group catch him?

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Not me. The click bait is tiresome as these writers do lazy journalism. In the past week people have speculated about Jax going to a handful of teams. But, for speculation sake, how do you think Jax blowing the save, yesterday, hurts his chances of being picked up by the Dodgers?

    Why put this click bait here if Jax has not been traded to the Mets?

    All Things 2025 Tour de France

    My legs were aching just watching today's ride. This ride was just ridiculous. Ben O'Connor was fantastic, but Onley and Roglic also made some noise. It will be interesting to see if Lipowitz can hold that third spot into Paris.

    CBS is ending ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ next year

    I have tried to watch Colbert...and Kimmel, but I just didn't find them very funny. I liked Conan and I can generally tolerate Fallon. Is it the host or the writers that generate the laughs? I find political jokes pretty cheap and not funny so maybe it's just lazy writers that I don't like. In...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    The tradable guys are those on expiring contracts like Bader, Vazquez and France. The next level up would be guys like Jax, Correa, and Castro. There is some talent in the minors so if we are not going to make a playoff run, then it's time for those kids to audition.

    All things biking.

    I got in about 12 miles this morning before taking cover due to a pop-up thunderstorm that I didn't see on the radar until the rain came in buckets. At first I thought there might be hail, which is why I immediately ducked into a park and found an awning to try salvage some dryness. After about...

    All Things 2025 Tour de France

    Ben Healy with a surprising ride today. I always like watching the ride up Mont Ventoux. The average grade for the incline is 8% and the climb is for nearly 9 miles. No doubt the nation of France is celebrating today's stage winner.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    Just told my wife that this weekend on a 20 mile bike ride. She asked if there was any downhill and I told her it was uphill both ways. ...now I gotta buy her an ebike! Come on lottery!

    Taylor and Lindsey catching walleyes and bass

    After he retired, Bobby Knight used to come up to northeast Minnesota and fish for largemouth bass. It's a not so big secret that the lakes north of the Range are great bass fishing lakes. Floating the flats with a mepps spinner and catching 2-4 lb bass while they jump on being reeled in, there...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I had to take out loans as well, but I never took the max. I always looked at total cost in connection with what I was earning and then took the minimal to cover. It was a very tight margin.
