    UT to require Longhorn Band to play the ‘Eyes of Texas’ but will create new band for those who oppose song

    While this could be true, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that we could say this about just about every single facet of life in America today, if you really want to look hard enough, and maybe even tilt your head and squint a little bit. One big Rorschach test when you really get down to it

    UT to require Longhorn Band to play the ‘Eyes of Texas’ but will create new band for those who oppose song

    If you can't find racism in something in 2021, you're just not trying hard enough or using your imagination enough.

    All Things 2021 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    A healthy number of reasons why a person would not feel comfortable getting the vaccine, but Howie is going to label Simmons for the rest of his life. Nice work. This is where we are today. I couldn't imagine viewing the world through the lens that you do

    Thorson: "I'm just so thrilled be here. To be home and be part of his program and his vision is unbelievable."

    Great staff addition! Should be a great complement to BJ's coaching skills and the obvious recruiting chops

    All Things 2021 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Talent-wise, it's a no-brainer, especially because they will be in dire need of LB for 2022; I expect them to draft more than one LB. But Damn, I keep hearing rumblings of fairly significant off-field concerns for Parsons. I haven't dug into it because I'm not that interested. I would GUESS...

    2020-2021 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    Jon K with a good piece on the game last night, including the fact that the crowd of about 1,400 gave D-Lo a standing ovation when he entered the game in the 1st? Obviously after a win, everyone is feeling good about themselves but maybe they get things going a little bit? Jon's article was...

    Spring Practice: Speculation, Observation, Rumination

    All in all, I thought he handled it pretty well. It's a presser to kick off Spring Ball, he kept the energy up, keep people engaged and excited; there's some things you're supposed to say in 2021, he took care of that. He hit on a few specifics of some positions but not too much. Love the...

    Thoughts on the Johnson hire from afar

    +1000. Some people are just hell-bent on "helping", when it couldn't be further from the case

    Hallman: Minnesota AD checked our box—he hired a Black coach. Now the question we ask is will Johnson be given the time and support to succeed

    I guess further divisiveness is certainly one way you can go, Charles... Probably not the one that I would chosen but oh well...

    Souhan: If not now, Mark Coyle, when? Past time to diversify Gophers leadership

    I think if you're confused by the mixed messaging of "we need to treat everyone the same and stop looking at skin color" while at the same time "we need to hire a coach with the right color skin", I'm almost certain you are not alone. It is very, very strange, to say the least

    With all-white leadership, Gophers athletic department under fresh scrutiny to improve diversity; Coyle has hired 11 white head coaches

    I don't know where we would be without the benefit of you telling us all how we think. It's really quite impressive

    With all-white leadership, Gophers athletic department under fresh scrutiny to improve diversity; Coyle has hired 11 white head coaches

    I suspect someone like yourself sees racists almost everywhere they look, all day long, just coming at you in waves; inescapable at times it seems.

    With all-white leadership, Gophers athletic department under fresh scrutiny to improve diversity; Coyle has hired 11 white head coaches

    Three women out of 11, which is not a bad number at all, in what is one of the whitest places on earth, Minnesota. Big news, I have no doubt.

    Meyer hires Doyle as Strength Coach

    Sooooooo, just out of curiosity, if this has been an ongoing thing, like years and years and years, why did this just come out in 2020? Seems kinda odd

    Meyer hires Doyle as Strength Coach

    It's dangerous territory to go simply with the standard of "what the players are comfortable with". I'm all about empowering the players, I thought it was fantastic when a number of the B1G players stood up and said they wanted to play (funny how some people didn't think it was good to empower...

    Meyer hires Doyle as Strength Coach

    What actions precisely are you speaking of? Allegations or proven missteps? Again, Doyle is pretty clearly a tool, but we're getting in very dangerous territory here. Be careful what you wish for. We have literally recently had players in the NFL who have killed people and/or beaten their...

    Meyer hires Doyle as Strength Coach

    Well that was an interesting turn of events. I guess second chances only apply to some people and not others in this world. Zero chance this happened as a mere reconsideration of things; the woke and PC mob clearly leaped into action with a social media barrage and attack to prevent this guy...

    Would expanding CFB playoffs create more parity? Interesting article on it from The Athletic

    Expanding the playoffs would be an absolutely dreadful idea. A straight up money grab is all it would be. Just dumb
