    🏒 🏒 🏒 HOCKEY 🏒 🏒 🏒

    The Gophers demonstrated last night that it's very hard to play ice hockey with both hands wrapped firmly around one's own neck.

    HS Football Update - sort of

    Also, there is no open enrollment/transferring within the Rochester district. You go where the map says you go. This is a big reason why there is so much open enrollment outward to Stewartville, Byron, Pine Island, and Dover-Eyota.

    US Bank Stadium needs $280M in maintenance through 2033

    It does have relevance. It shows how smart the U was to have their only involvement in the Viking Ship be the stadium rental during construction. The "renovation" of Target Center didn't fix anything.

    Minnesota Girls Basketball State Championship 2023

    *Disclaimer: I am an alum of STMA HS and was present at The Barn Saturday night, so anything I write comes from that lens. I'm also fairly certain that STMA hadn't beaten Hopkins since joining the Lake Conference until Saturday night. And if they had, it was a long time ago. Game awareness is...

    Gopher and Viking legend Bud Grant dies at age 95

    My most vivid memory of Bud Grant was from Opening Night at the New Brickhouse, September 12, 2009. I think a lot of people there that night didn't know that Bud was a Gopher legend before the pros. Bud was one of the honorary captains that was introduced prior to the coin toss. Jamie read his...

    Radio Network Contract Extended

    Grimm is a solid PBP guy, but he has got to stop whining about referees when he thinks the Gophers have been wronged. He has a habit of losing stretches of game action to said whining. While it's not as big a problem in football, it's a major issue in basketball. Also, the sound quality in FM...

    The craziest 20.9 seconds in Maine HS basketball history. Four lead changes. Two dramatic and 1 layups. And a shot that people will be talking about

    The 3A state title game between DeLaSalle and Washburn ~10 years ago ended in a sequence not unlike this one.

    MSHSL says No to seeding State FB playoffs

    Or move Week 1 of football the week before Labor Day. As for the COVID year that someone mentioned the League supposedly loved: losing the gate and TV revenue for boys basketball and football for 2020 blew a huge hole in the FY21 budget that took a huge amount of hassle to resolve.

    Denver Broncos make trade for Sean Payton

    The Broncos are a dumpster fire, and will remain so until they eat Russ' nine-figure cap charge to get him out of there.

    All Things 2022-2023 Minnesota Twins Off-Season Thread

    His contract was also up the year before Target Field opened. The Twins absolutely had to sign him when they did lest there be a fan rebellion going into the new ballpark.

    B1G Commissioner Kevin Warren named CEO of Chicago Bears

    Warren's skill set is negotiating hard deals. Given that the Bears will be negotiating a bunch of hard deals to build their stadium out in Arlington Heights, he fits the Bears needs perfectly. Once the deals are signed he'll be sacked and replaced with a construction boss.

    Promotion and Relegation for a 16 team B1G?

    Bret Bielema after this game: "I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money or ratings. I won't be silent. I just saw it live"

    Fat Bret's teams have always had a reputation for taking incredibly stupid penalties at inopportune times. There's a $5 fine for whining. Put your money in the jar.

    PA is terrible

    I think I finally figured out why PA is an awful PBP guy: he is trying to make every single play a viral moment. He's been recovering from this one for 20 years.

    PA is terrible

    PA has been a terrible PBP man for the Vikings for a long as he's been on the mike, for any number of reasons. He needs to go back to Canterbury and stick to calling the nags.
