    Tropical Vacation Destination Ideas

    I would third Costa Rica. Since the 90's, they've been teaching every student English, so the only ones who don't speak English are the old timers and immigrants (they have a lot from Columbia, Venezuela, etc, and have a very similar visceral pro/con with them as Americans do with Mexicans and...

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    Long Beach. Bit of a hike to Rose Bowl, but close to Disney and beach.

    Uniforms for Iowa

    I have a game used white helmet from the Brewster era. Thought it was a ridiculous way to to spend money back when I didn’t have much. It has always been proudly displayed in my house and was worth every penny.

    Badger QB Out for the Season with ACL.

    Well recruited kid that transferred to Wisky after a year of not seeing the field his freshman year at Miss St. Looks like he had 700+ yards last year, so he’s seen some action.

    Fantasy Sports Talk

    Since starters really stopped playing in preseason a handful of years ago, the difference between week 1 and week 3 is often stark. Between the play of starters and penalties, week 1/2 in the NFL is almost unwatchable. It’s never going to happen, but it sure would be nice to mandate some level...

    New jerseys on Saturday vs RI

    To my knowledge, they've never sold "authentic" jerseys, just the replicas. You can get personalized jerseys with a specific player name/number, but it looks like they're still the previous style jerseys on Fanatics...

    Do the Twins make/miss the playoffs?

    Also going by Forbes (which I'm hugely skeptical is anywhere near reality, but it's what we got) - the Twins have a $114MM surplus over the past 10 years, including the massive $49MM loss from COVID...

    Do the Twins make/miss the playoffs?

    I posted this long, long ago, but because of revenue sharing on local TV deals, the Twins are effectively "sharing" their loss with the rest of the MLB, and their own immediate loss is less. My math says they lost around $8MM in TV revenue as a worst-case scenario in 2024...

    future of revenue-sharing in doubt - House anti-trust case could still go to trial

    It's largely a G4 issue (and some of those athletic departments don't even break even). So you likely have 68 schools that make money or break even (those with G4 football) and 66 that likely don't. Then you add in FCS with 129 teams, I'm sure all of which lose money. How many run a surplus...

    CMC f’d me. I was down by 2.5 pts, so I didn’t need much from him, just something. I guess it’s karma; I got him with the 3rd pick only because I’m in a severe GB/WI Homer league where the top two picks were Jordan Love and Jonathan Taylor.

    Nevada

    Yes, same one. I knew he entered the portal, guess I didn't know he ended up at Nevada. Wasn't the story that PJ didn't offer him, or at least didn't prioritize him? Or was that the "we cooled on him" BS? If so, it would appear he was vindicated. He has 11 tackles through 3 games, so it seems...

    Mar’Keise Irving enters the transfer portal

    Fixed it for you to make you feel better like time stopped:

    Nevada

    Yes, he played until PJ started pulling the starters in the early 4th quarter. Looking at the boxscore, it seems off as Mav and Cody combined for 1 tackle vs. URI, when they had a combined 21 vs. UNC. They both played the first three quarters.

    Brady in the booth.

    It’s a crazy world when somebody gives you that kind of money before you’ve ever done what you’re being paid to do and before they even know if you’ll be any good. With that said, he’ll be fine. If he turns out to be terrible, he’ll quit because him being terrible would be so public and not...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Crush Rhode Island

    - Backups got in the game and got actual playing time! And they actually got to keep throwing the ball and not just RUTM play after play. - I’m not sure why PJ is so enamored with Major. I’d like to see more of Bangura and Mangham next week to see what they got. - Taylor is really good. - OL...

    Full Banana

    Absolutely killer uni's. Extra credit for having Sparky on the helmet. They have an all-time classic mascot/logo and dumbed it down to just his spear. Free Sparky!

    Daniel Fa'alele

    With how much Harbaugh likes to run, it would seem that the Ravens would excel at the play action deep pass. But they don't. Jackson drops back and if the underneath throw isn't immediately available, he darts around outside the pocket. Flowers fits the offense they run much better than Bateman...

    Why not be more skeptical of a newly hired head football coach here at Minnesota and more supportive of the existing coach?

    I really like PJ and want nothing more than him and the Gophers to succeed. I think he runs a clean program that fans can be proud of. What he/the team does in the community is great. I hope he's here in 10 years, as that says he has continued to evolve and has been successful. With that said...
