    All Things 2024 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Vikings might be looking at a shifting of power in the division. We have had it good for quite a while... I can't really be mad at Detroit. First home playoff game in 30+ years? Fine, let 'em win 1 or 2. Rams already went the distance recently, so they can go home.

    The way the NIL/Transfer Portal is administered has ruined bowl games

    The 12 team playoffs will make em even more obsolete. They'll be complete afterthoughts.

    I just checked the OSU score for the first time and saw that state line. What in the name of Iowa football is going on in that game?

    PJ bowl winning streak at 5 and he is #1 all time for Gopher coach bowl wins.

    At least according to this site: https://mcubed.net/ncaaf/bowls/strkawin.shtml We are top 10 all time for win streak. And currently #2 behind Alabama for active win streak.

    This is Lunacy

    Correct. People take advantage of systems every single day. It's hard to find success, so people will jump at the chance to get ahead above all else. The kids are no different than most adults in corporate America.

    Iowa defense is crazy. Can only imagine what that team could do with anything resembling a competent offense.

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

    Hard copy for everything fiction. Kindle for everything learning/self-improvement. When I read books on programming, it's always on Kindle. The ability to make notes/highlight, immediately look up definitions, etc...Can't be beat. But I will always appreciate my physical copies.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Look Abysmal in Home Loss to Badgers

    One of the worst seasons of Gopher football I've seen since starting in 2010. Even those early Kill seasons were better because it felt like we were getting better little-by-little. This was just boring and painful.

    I've only been checking in to this thread...Had other things to do today. Sounds like I made the right choice. I hope I can be excited on game days again in the near future.

    Harbaugh on Athan: He is playing the quarterback position; that is the best way I can describe him now...He was just a quarterback early in the year.

    Lol what the hell does that mean? That's like me walking out of the new Expendables movie and saying "that was one of the movies I've seen."

    Don't wanna be a downer, but my enthusiasm is at an all-time low this season. Feels like we need a huge win today to drum up some good vibes.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Have Massive Meltdown Again, Fall to 0-10 to Bielema, Fail Again With BTW In Grasp

    You've got it exactly right. 2019 was great, no doubt. But I don't give a crap about any # of wins after it, because the team failed when it mattered over and over. (Which arguably happened in 2019 as well). It felt like the window was closing this year, with the new age of CFB brimming. And...

    Just watched the highlights of that game. Dark times ahead with that level of competition being regularly added to our schedule.

    Time to be honest with ourselves...

    The wins have become a vanity metric now. He wins more but not when it counts. Let's the West slip away year after year. I'm personally not ready to move on. But it's sure damn tough to be so close and never get the job done.
