    Time to look ahead.......what is your plan?

    The Kansas City Wolves. You just take Timber off the name, and move 7 hours south, into a market with an NBA-ready arena already in place. And they're then that much closer to Western rivals Denver, OKC, and Dallas. I guess then Memphis would move to the East, unless as mentioned Portland...

    All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Bold: it's neat how you simply get to declare this to be true, with no proof? Of course the Cowboys would have liked to have won the Super Bowl in 1989. But I guess you get to wave your hands and come up with some imaginary threshold of if they were "trying to" or not? Why does a one-off...

    Silly thing to say when that never would have happened. If we had beaten the Bears at home, as we did until the final kick return blunder, then Packers play their starters against our starters ... and Flores bitchslaps Lafleur once again, as he has done repeatedly. We then go on to make the...

    Bold is exactly correct. We could have signed him at the money he wanted. But he was not that high of a priority for us, when we had Turner ready. But that's a boring narrative that won't get people to click on it.

    You still feel the need to lie about this, simply because the Vikings made you and all the other people who invest time trying to predict that draft, look really stupid? If we don't take Banks, then the Chiefs take him in the first round instead of Woods. Prove it wrong. You can't

    None of this proves that the "correct" "answer" is "don't try to win the Super Bowl this year". That makes no sense

    Time to look ahead.......what is your plan?

    Another one (not that you needed more examples to make your point) is Sacramento. NBA (and NHL) arenas are cheaper to build than MLB or NFL stadiums and take up less space. They're indoor (although granted pretty much most new NFL stadiums are as well these days) so the events are guaranteed to...

    Time to look ahead.......what is your plan?

    But do you think Dallas will move him .. to a Western rival, as opposed to elsewhere, if they can control that?

    Iowa State AD’s frustration with Big Ten, SEC boils over: ‘Let ’em break away’

    I think Iowa State saw the writing on the wall with Nebraska and voluntarily left the association rather than be kicked out. Medical (human, not veterinary!) research is the straw the stirs the drink.

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    It may seem crazy to us, but there are a large swath of people who care somewhere between a decent amount all the way up to fervent supporters of various professional teams .... who literally don't give a crap about college athletics. It seems like it shouldn't be possible. And yet, I would...

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    The biggest bugaboo of major college athletics always has been and continues to be this insane idea that plain old fans should get to press down on the scales of fairness, not just with their thumbs but with their whole damn feet, by donating amounts of money that are not just relevant but give...

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    LOL What a dishonest "answer". The actual answer is "like at most schools, even at most p4 schools ... there is no such thing for the University of Minnesota and it's unlikely there ever will be". The closest chance we could have had was Denny Sanford and we know what happened with that...

    Iowa State AD’s frustration with Big Ten, SEC boils over: ‘Let ’em break away’

    As I said in the football board version of this thread: the idea is that if the Big Ten and SEC left the NCAA and then organized together on any number of a range of things, they could be sued (say by the Big 12, ACC, etc.) for collusion. If that holds water, then each conf would indeed have...

    Some people want the plan to be getting rid of Randle and adding Kyrie Irving.

    All it takes is one year with a good team but far more importantly good luck, and you're in the Super Bowl. Win it ... and all else is automatically forgiven. In Minnesota especially, just making the SB is probably 30 years of good will. Win it, and you're talking 50 years. So then your...

    I think most people agree this makes some kind of common sense. We'll see how the legal part of it goes.

    Who is your "I wish we played them every year," opponent for the Gophers?

    I think there were for Nebraska. Official trophy games appear to exist for their matchups with Iowa and Wisconsin. Interesting the Neb-Wisc did not make it on the protected list. Fans made up a "trophy" for Neb Minn, though it has never been recognized as official, but it is a nice...

    Who would have made a 24-team field in the College Football Playoff era? Try 80 different teams

    Are they actually saying that it would simply be the top 23 ranked teams plus one guaranteed spot for the highest ranked G5 (which I feel like would almost always be ranked top 24 anyway)?
