    Market Watch

    It doesn't take much imagination to see the new corona virus leading us into recession. Here's hoping that doesn't happen as I don't want to live in a cardboard box.

    STrib: Gophers prepare for spring football practice, with bamboo as inspiration

    Bamboo grows around here too, and makes an excellent privacy shield.

    Farmers' Almanac winter prediction: 'Worst of the worst' for Minnesota

    Go 60s, go 70s, go 80s, 90s and even 100s-- the older I get the more I like it warm or even hot as opposed to the dank, damp doom of Winter.

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    Anybody else watching War of the Worlds, the remake? Its a series available on Comcast-Xfinity and Apple TV and maybe other streaming services. Im a 1/2 hour into it and I'll give it an A so far.

    Will Maroon Madness become a tradition?

    Its no longer maroon, they've adopted sort of a purplish vermillion now for many years. So technically, Vermillion and Gold, not Maroon and Gold. But I don't care if they wear pink and yellow and psychedelic green, as long as they're winning. Its but a quibble but sort of interesting.

    Fox Sports and BTN dropped from DISH and SLING

    From lead post above: "The outage currently affects MLB, NBA and NHL games on the regional networks." Doesn't it also affect big ten basketball on BTN?

    Tanner Morgan thoughts

    Morgan is the best Gophers QB I can remember and I have long memory. But its great to have a capable backup like Annexstad. Injuries happen so you need a backup.

    Off Season workouts?

    Are players required to work out to stay in shape during the off months? I'd want to do it, required or not, because its a lot easier to stay in shape than to get in shape.

    All things good dogs

    Im a cat man out of convenience. They instinctively know how to use litter boxes, display quite obvious ESP and instruct my ways each day. I'd love dogs too, just not a good fit for a townhouse dweller.

    If U were a multi-Billionaire & could rename something at UMn, what would you rename and why?

    If I had $100 billion, I might blow a few hundred million to rename Williams Arena as "OldBobs Barn". Some modifications are required to give it more of a barn feel, like hay and straw bales scattered about the concessions area and all wooden stairways and handrails; and cow manure...

    How many drunkards, tipplers, souses, and lushes are on this board?

    Drunk driving is punishable with jail time but being stupid is not. A drunk driver goes to jail, while a stupid or elderly or texting driver may be more dangerous, but they get a pass.

    How many drunkards, tipplers, souses, and lushes are on this board?

    Drunks and addicts tend to be smarter than most people. They intoxicate themselves so American culture will seem less stupid than when sober. In other words, while drunk or stoned they relate better to the dumbed down masses, more on an equal footing.

    Sports Cars

    Here's perhaps the ultimate sports car, the Bugatti Chiron 300, so named because a special one-off version exceeded 300 mph. This commercially available version has a top speed of 260 mph. https://www.bugatti.com/models/chiron-models/chiron-super-sport-300/

    Sports Cars

    G forces: 1G translates to about 21 mph per second, per second... so after 3 seconds you're going 63 mph. So, bottomline, at 0 to 60 in 2 seconds you're going to feel pressed into your seatback, not like a fighter pilot who can endure up to 9 Gs, but same general idea..

    Why is Oturu's hair so funny?

    ***OFFICIAL IOWA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Could either team beat the great UCLA teams of the late 60s and early 70s-- Curtis Rowe, Sidney Wicks, Karem Abdel Jabar?

    Sports Cars

    Tesla Roadster? I visited the Tesla website and found the model S but not a "Roadster". The S does 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds which is still ludicrously fast, top speed 163 mph.

    How many drunkards, tipplers, souses, and lushes are on this board?

    I wish the best to all drunks and addicts, just don't get in a car and drive if you're impaired. You can buy breathalyzers at Walgreens. They'll tell you if you're at the legal limit, a BAC of .08.
