    All Things 2026 World Cup

    To qualify, Scotland needed to beat Denmark, and (spoiler alert) scored the winning goal 3 minutes into extended time. See if you can pick out the one Denmark fan in this crowd..

    Group of 5 Teams in Contention for the 2024-25 FBS Playoffs

    As of today, Tulane is the G5 rep and as the 12th seed would be playing 5th seed Texas Tech in the first round of the playoffs. Here's their coach talking about the his team, making sure they don't think they've already earned the spot.

    Might as well start the thread with this one - Curaçao has qualified. This is basically like the city of Rochester getting a team into the cup - both are around a population of 185,000.

    IF we finish with only 6 wins....

    I'm glad the "finish with only 6 wins" is on the football forum vs basketball, but I'm starting to wonder if it fits in both places...

    Movies where the last 20 minutes just cook

    Maybe a bit different from everyone else's lists, but I'll add 2001 Space Odyssey. It wraps the entire movie into the future.

    All Things 2025 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

    Wasn't sure where to post this, but "soccer" is "football", so I went with this thread. 64 teams get selected to be part of the Division III "football" (aka "soccer") playoffs. This year, there were four MIAC teams that made the dance: St. Olaf, Macalester, Gustavus, and Augsburg. All but...

    All Things MN United Season Thread

    For the Loons, the appx 20,000 seat stadium is almost always a sellout, so that's solid. For TV viewing, MLS decided to sell the exclusive rights to Apple, so I think that really limits viewership. You need to purchase a separate MLS pacakge from Apple to view the games. That subscription is...

    All Things MN United Season Thread

    Regular season games will be played through mid-December and start up again in early February. For the Loons, this means good players won't want to come here to play in the cold (we already had that issue of MN not being a good place to pay - small market and all, but now it's 10 times worse)...

    And there goes my season tickets... I won't be renewing them once the schedule changes.

    The Loons have run this play quite a bit, because it works. It's so simple, you'd think other teams would be prepared for it. In the setup, Markanich and Trapp are positioned at the top of the box with Bongi deep to provide cover for a quick break. We stack the far post with two players, and...

    The Wonderwall had done advanced scouting on their goalie. Seattle put in a substitute goalie right at the end of the game, one just for the PKs. Wonderwall did its stuff in trying to get to him, and they did. Some chant about his sister (I think, I couldn't quite make it out), which caused him...

    It was a great game. For the PKs we joined the WonderWall folks - standing right behind the net.

    All Things Movie/Documentary Reviews/Recommendations Thread

    I had a rather long flight two weeks back, from Frankfurt to MSP, and ended up watching two movies that I both liked: Juror #2 takes a bit of a different look at a courtroom case, from the perspective of a juror versus that of the defendant and the respective lawyers. Mickey 17 is a story about...

    Maybe mentioned earlier in this thread, but I'm liking "The Diplomat" on Netflix. And if you like that one, there's a bit of a similar vibe on Apple TV's "Slow Horses".

    4 Star OT Aaron Thomas Flips from tOSU to Minnesota!!!

    Great news. Can he start for our next game? It is nice to see that we're shoring up our OL. User Tip: When you post an "x" link, replace the "x" in the link with the word "twitter", so it becomes this....

    Group of 5 Teams in Contention for the 2024-25 FBS Playoffs

    Who's going to make it to the playoffs? We have four teams from the AAC that will eventually crown a champion through their playoff, and I'm thinking one team from the MW (maybe Bosie State, but with two losses I think they're on out outside looking in). I'm picking Tulane to win the AAC and get...

    Athletic: There are far more college football jobs on the market than quality coaches

    Najarian obviously has significant connections in the world of finance and investors - the people who can pay large NIL sums; Coyle's connections are to other ADs. Najarian obviously understands marketing and is good at it, Coyle, from what we've seen, does not. Najarian is great in front of a...
