    When Did Players Lose The Skill of Shooting a Basketball?

    Soooo...one of my seat mates snagged passes for us to hang out in the club room at one of the games last month. We filled a few cardboard boats with snacks and sat down at one of the high-top tables. At one point, one of the boats started moving on its own--rotating by itself. We all noticed it...

    Ugh, Robert Vaihola will have knee surgery on Friday and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

    I've seen this episode: the flu hits the 4077th, and only Hawkeye is available for surgery...and then HE gets the flu and still has to operate. Him to Hotlips: "Remember that shot you gave me for the flu? Well, it worked; I have it."

    Shooter: Gophers efforts to raise money for renovations to The Barn has been temporarily shelved in favor of raising NIL funds.

    This is what it's come to, and it's hard to see this changing any time soon: payroll is an unfillable hole that will demand more and more from fans and boosters and supersede other needs.

    ***OFFICIAL FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This is funny because it's sort of true in a way. At least a couple times, that guy faked me into thinking we were going into a TV timeout.

    Radio K played this A LOT in 1996.

    ***OFFICIAL FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    As long as we're bitching, memo to last night's deejay: you don't have to play music every time just before someone inbounds the ball.

    With the non-conference schedule now complete, the Gophers are…

    ...capable of beating almost anyone and capable of losing to almost anyone.

    When Did Players Lose The Skill of Shooting a Basketball?

    Cyril Martynov of FDU: hold my beer. I remarked to my seat mate last night that, if you can't make a free throw, should you even be driving a car? What occupation even is there where you don't need to have some rudimentary motor skill? These two guys are miles away from being able to juggle...

    Three and a half hours after sunset. These midwinter late games are like going on a midnight commando raid or something.

    Big Ten Power Rankings — Christmas Edition (15. Minnesota Golden Gophers (7–5))

    KenPom has us at 15, a half point better than Maryland. Penn State and Rutgers bring up the rear. It's a big gulf between Minnesota at 99 and Oregon at 71. Northwestern will be a stiff test. They're NCAA hopefuls. They ought to be favored by 8 or 9.

    I don't even know if they still credit you when you don't get a paper. There was a day in the last couple weeks where one day's paper arrived with the next day's paper, and there wasn't any weather or any other reason. If they still do credit you, they might have to stop doing that because of...

    His obvious beef is that it's a single-elimination tournament. Obviously we need for each matchup to be a seven-game series, just like the pros. That would make it infititely watchable.

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    Yes, based on that simplifying assumption. I should have stated my assumptions. I figure the Vikings have won more than they've lost in that time, but it probably doesn't completely wash.

    If you're wondering, the chance of 24 straight failures in this regard is 4% (0.04).
