Today is the Golden Anniversary. Full kegs. Everybody's gonna be there. You oughta go.

The following year, in 1977, Turner tried to finesse baseball’s free agency again by agreeing to a deal with San Francisco outfielder Gary Matthews before Matthews’ contract with the Giants had expired. Already looked down upon by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn and the other club owners, Kuhn suspended...

Former Gopher Player and Assistant Coach, Dan Kosmoski, is stepping down after 32 years as St Olaf HC. https://athletics.stolaf.edu/news/2026/4/9/mens-basketball-kosmoski-announces-retirement-after-32-seasons-as-head-mens-basketball-coach.aspx Pretty epic run he had from 2014 - 2018, making it...

Dickie V & The Round Mound of Rebound are joined for the 1st time ever on the First 4 Texas vs NC State game. Not much time for the play-by-play guy, always steady Brian Anderson (who seems to be battling a bug of some sort). Best line of the night: Anderson: These two teams met earlier this...

I don't see a thread yet, so here goes. MIAC general news, they ditched the Men's/Women's Doubleheaders on non-weekends (except for a long roadie here or there to Concordia/St Mary's/St Scholastica). Saved on travel, but made for some long days.

Currently both Gophers the Men's Basketball & Football Team sit at exactly 7-5. 7-0 at the Barn & Bank respectively. 0-5 everywhere else including neutral games at Sioux Falls-Palm Desert & Wrigley Field, respectively. At least season ticket holders are getting their money's worth.

No shortage of options for 2025. I'm going to guess Kevin O'Connell.

I will risk a jinx (see Northwestern St), the forecast on all the apps are looking pretty sweet from tailgate through the contest. Game Temps in the low 60s. Chance of showers ranges from 1% to 20% but even that is not until after 9 PM. Slight southern breeze.

Very sad news. https://www.startribune.com/first-avenue-stage-manager-conrad-sverkerson-obituary-cancer-66-minneapolis-music/601484527

https://www.startribune.com/timberwolves-radio-play-by-play-announcer-alan-horton-will-add-tv-duties/601480967 I like Horton just fine, but simulcasting the TV feed on Radio for the non-Grady games seems like a tightwad move by the Wolves, IMO.

Gopher Golf & Hockey great John Harris has passed away. https://www.startribune.com/john-harris-minnesota-golfer-us-amateur-champ-gophers-hockey-obituary/601476590

Looking to be on the cool side for a game this early in September with an 11am kick, temps in the 50s. Might squeak into the 60s by the final horn. Should be dry.

Quite a legend. https://variety.com/2025/music/news/sly-stone-dead-funk-rock-pioneer-family-stone-1236423831/ His life and career were documented earlier this year by Grammy and Oscar-winning “Summer of Soul” director Questlove in “Sly Lives: aka the Burden of Black Genius,” which also...

Silver floated the idea of switching to 10 Minute Quarters. If it meant less load management I think it would be a huge win for the NBA. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/adam-silver-says-hes-a-fan-of-shortening-nba-quarters-to-10-minutes-also-floats-idea-of-free-throw-change/ Tons of...

https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-vikings-blake-cashman-eden-prairie-gophers-green-bay-packers/601200282 For me a key turning point in the Fleck era was when Purdue came to The Bank on 11/8/2018 following a huge debacle in Champaign the game prior. Cashman's strip, scoop and score was a...
