    Big Ten Tournament sites announced for next 4 seasons: Headed to Vegas in 2028

    Is the expectation that actual attendance at the tourney will increase because its in Vegas? I otherwise don't get all the hype - particularly among the media people - when major sporting events are in Vegas (or any other glitzy city). A vast majority of the eyeballs watching the tournament...

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    I get wanting to play true home games but that seems like such a shoddy setup that it's hard to believe that playing on a makeshift field is a better option than playing in Mt Lake or Heron Lake, just a few miles down the highway. Is Springfield in the same boat? I know Riverside Park was...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Cal and Sandord were there for the taking, and probably for cheap. There might be some athletic value but apparently, no media value.

    Conference Realignment Updates

    I've asked this question and still have yet to see a satisfactory answer. Too much "hassle"? That's a conclusion without explanation. There's already precedence - Chicago which doesn't participate in the B1G athletic conference. And Nebraska, who isn't AAU. If AAU was paramount...

    Vote expected this week to settle NCAA class-action lawsuit

    Great. Diverting revenue from revenue sports to non-revenue sports. I foresee college athletes fighting amongst themselves. Football and to a lesser extent basketball are paying the athletic department bills on P4 college campuses. If I'm a football player one step closer to CTE with every...

    Gophers get their 2026 QB - Owen Lansu

    I'll keep an open mind but as noted above, its a long time between the commitment and putting on the pads. And sure, he could blow up, but getting exited over a 3 star QB isn't happening.

    Conference Realignment Updates

    I like it. But as conferences grow in size and actual crossover games become less frequent, I see the need (and the want $$$) for at least a conference semi-final round. You've got four divisions -highest rated plays lowest rated division champ. But then OSU/Mich and OR/TAM/ND/USC complain...

    Darius Taylor M____M Jersey

    These jerseys and hats and pants would be fine without the cardiac rhythm. Here me out on this - throwback shoulder pads. Today's players would have no idea how to defend.

    Better be the greatest show on turf to keep up with the points given up by what will be a disaster of a secondary.

    All Things 2024 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    The whole "player X will need to put on weight/muscle" thing is an uncontrollable reaction when it comes to NBA players, like patting a bag of potting soil at Menards, or clicking tongues at the grill.

    Bands/Artists From Minnesota!

    Did Dylan spend any portion of productive years here? I think the grunge/ alternative scene in Seattle of the late 80's/ early 90's was bigger than any era of theTwin Cities music scene. The style of music certainly wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but it was huge.

    CBS: Big Ten stadium rankings (10. Minnesota - Huntington Bank Stadium)

    I'm too lazy/busy to read the original article so I don't know what criteria are considered but it isn't surprising that more successful programs with larger capacity (and attendance) are ranked higher. TCF is a nice stadium and it's new, so it doesn't have quirks. Sometimes those quirks add...

    What 5 schools would USC football kick out of the Big Ten, if given the option? (#3. Minnesota)

    How about a rephrase - What 10 current teams should make up a true 10 team Big 10? I'd go with: MN, IA, WI, NE, MI, OSU, IN, PSU, Purdue, MSU. What would TV pick? Probably: USC, UCLA, Oregon, Wash, NE, OSU, MI, PSU, WI, IA. I could see IL or NW swapped for IA or UCLA for Chicago market.
