    Shane MacGowan, leader of The Pogues, dies at 65

    Shane MacGowan of The Pogues died today at 65. I feel drunk just looking at pictures of him. I know what I'll be listening to tonight.

    RandBall: The 5-7 Gophers are going to a bowl game. What should we call it?

    Are the Fringe Bowl Team guys still around? I always thought that was a clever name.

    Original Songs

    I was discussing Wes Anderson movies with a coworker and defending Life Aquatic as my favorite. One of the best parts are all the Bowie covers in Portuguese by Seu Jorge.

    What are your Top 4 Worst Losses under Fleck?

    Right, just like the WI & IA streaks predate Fleck. It's a Gopher thing, not a Fleck thing. Fleck is a streak-breaker (the Bielema streak hopefully next year). It's just kind of unfathomable that our streak against him is longer than our streak against MI and almost as long as against tOSU.

    What are your Top 4 Worst Losses under Fleck?

    It's the inexplicable streaks that get me, not so much the individual losses. The NW loss doesn't frustrate me nearly as much as ILL. How are we 0-10 against Bret f**king Bielema? Plus the recently ended streaks against IA & WI. Streaks to, say, MI or OSU are understandable. But the Gophers...

    RandBall: Vikings, Gophers rewarded for their patience. It's called playing the long game.

    And people graded Fleck an F... Coach had a plan and stuck to it!

    Itll happen. Wonder where the gophers end up?

    I can see it going something similar to the NFL -- big league with more small divisions. Something like this would be cool: B1G West: USC, UCLA, Wash, Ore B1G North: Min, Wisc, Iowa, Neb B1G Central: NW, Ill, Purd, Ind B1G East: Mich, OSU, PSU, MSU B1G Northeast: Rut, MD, ??, ?? Two division...

    The NCAA has opened an investigation into No. 2 Michigan over possible rule-breaking around in-person scouting of opponents

    I was chatting with a Gopher staffer ahead of the MI game. He said MI has 10x the support budget than MN. There's those new mid-rise apartments across the street from the practice field. So theoretically MI could rent an apartment and plant a scout there to watch the Gophers practice. I...

    Fess Up: Hardcover, Paperback, Audio Book, or Kindle/e-book?

    I like hardcover just so I can use the cover flap as a bookmark. But really hardcover & paperback are interchangeable for me. Depends on availability and publisher I guess. I don't use e-readers or audio books. I spend enough time looking at a screen and the radio is for music & news.

    All things funny

    Seriously though, what's with all the sudden TS hate? I thought she was universally adored. Is it the Kelce thing and she's intruding on the NFL bro-fest?

    1st Sporting event you attended

    Twins game at the Dome. Neighborhood dads took some neighborhood kids. I don't recall the opponent or date. I remember being in awe of the enormity of the place. The Twins won 1-0 on a mid-inning solo HR. When we got back, one of the dads said it was kind of a boring game, not a lot of...
