    All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Twins Off-Season Thread

    I see these "trade proposals" all the time. Some guy on a website or some blogger on "Twins Daily" or a similar site throws out some hypothetical trade and it gets reported as a legitimate proposal. 99% of the time it's just some guy throwing stuff at the wall.

    Fubo vs YouTubeTV vs Others

    most of the online comparisons echo what Iowa said - YTTV is more catered to a general audience, while Fubo is aimed at the hard-core sports fans. initial price is similar - $83 for YTTV and $80 for Fubo, but to get all the sports offerings, Fubo is $100 for the Elite plan with Sports package...

    Hey - Twins news.......sort of. from the Strib: The Twins agreed to a minor league deal with Mike Ford on Thursday and he will be invited to big-league camp. He’s played in 251 career games with six teams, and he finished last year in Japan after he was released by the Cincinnati Reds. Ford...

    All Things 2025 NFL Free Agency

    quick thought - forgot about Mekhi Blackmon. assuming he's healthy, he will most likely be in the rotation at CB, so maybe you can let one of the older CB's go.

    Gopher bowl uniforms

    according to a Tweet from @GopherFootball -- Gold Helmets White Jersey Gold Pants this is the 7th time for the G/W/G combo in the PJ Fleck era (this will be the 97th game of the Fleck era.) the all-Maroon combo remains the most-frequently worn with 18x. Maroon/White/Maroon and...

    Neal: With CFP expansion, P.J. Fleck and the Gophers should have loftier goals

    I think Indiana is the best template for the Gophers to crack the playoff field. a good team playing an advantageous schedule. with the current 18-team setup and no divisions, there will be unbalanced schedules. to make the playoffs, the Gophers will need to catch a season where the...

    Other Bowl Games Thread

    Is it legal for an OL to pick up the RB and throw him into the end zone? And would the B1G refs know the rules?

    Sugar Bowl Postponed

    I had to go back and check - 1 death but 111 injuries. I honestly did not remember that many injuries from that event. so certainly significant. I guess what I was envisioning was some kind of an in-stadium attack where the death toll would be much higher. not to minimize the loss of any...

    on the franchise tag - here are the rules: NON-EXCLUSIVE TAG: This tag allows the player to sign an offer sheet with another team.

    that's a lot of good defensive players including the entire starting secondary. which creates a catch-22 situation. If the Vikes bring back Darnold at a higher salary, that reduces their cap space, and limits the number of moves they can make during the off-season. but if they don't bring...

    granted. I was thinking more of a bombing or something on a larger scale as opposed to a hostage-taking situation.

    Sugar Bowl Postponed

    over the years, there have been rumors of attacks on major sporting events, but so far, we've never seen one happen. puts me in mind of the movie "Black Sunday" from 1977. If you haven't seen it, a Middle East terrorist group attempts to carry out a mass casualty event at the Super Bowl. a...

    Know Your Opponent: Virginia Tech Hokies

    yup. I was talking about opt-outs. Daniels - to the best of my knowledge, is the only starter to leave via the portal. most of the portal people leaving are backups at best.

    anything's possible. I guess I would rather see the Twins 'cut the cord' and move into the new reality. going back to Diamond is just delaying the inevitable. as far as the streaming on Amazon - that means signing up for Amazon Prime or Prime Video and then paying an additional fee for the...

    Know Your Opponent: Virginia Tech Hokies

    I'm going with the idea that at least 5 are opting out - (as has been speculated/predicted by Ryan Burns and others) - Ersery, Walley, D. Jackson, Lindenberg, Joyner. those names were all listed in a Strib story previewing the bowl game. so that's 1 OL, 1 WR, 1 DE, 1 LB and 1 CB. compare...

    all comes down to $$. Diamond offered the Brewers more money to come back for another year. are they willing to offer the Twins more money? remember, during the bankruptcy proceedings, the Twins had to petition the Judge to force Diamond to make the required payments to the team. sure, if...

    Cochran update - "tangible progress"

    at a press availability this week, Johnson said Cochran is still week to week. He's working out but has not been cleared to go 5-on-5 or full contact yet. a writer asked him if Cochran has considered sitting out the year to get a medical redshirt, but Johnson said (paraphrasing), there's a...

    Predict the Score Thread: Minnesota vs Virginia Tech in Duke’s Mayo Bowl

    I just read Noel Thompson's "5 questions" thread with a VA Tech beat writer. Yikes. the writer is estimating that, due to injuries, opt-outs and transfers, VA Tech will be missing 13 of the 22 players who started the last game of the regular season. so I am revising my prediction: Gophers...
