    Payne in portal (UPDATED: Payne commits to Texas A&M)

    The number of athletes competing in this year’s NCAA tournament that have made not one, not 2, but 3 and 4 stops in their college careers is alarming, shocking and destructive. It’s only good for top-tier programs. They have fucked it all up with this. Student-athletes my ass.

    The no-sit transfer rule is the worst thing to ever happen to college sports. Worse than NIL. Worse than mega-conferences. And why? Why was this rule dropped??? This is going to erode fan bases all over the country and the eyeballs and $$ are going to drop. It’s idiotic.

    Brodin for sure. He's signed through 27-28 and, when healthy, is a top level defensemen. He has been hurt all year. Spurgeon is signed through 26-27. A couple differences in these two - size, as you mention, is significant. Brodin is just as quick and stronger. Brodin's salary is $6MM, vs...

    Agree. To be fair, I think he realized his mistake and took it out on his stick, which he destroyed after the goal was scored.

    Jeff Dubay arrested again. (shocker - drugs were involved)

    Nice to see someone who finds what they love and stays with it.

    If Guerin trades Ek (won't happen), they should just shut it down. He is clearly the most valuable player on the team and obviously a glue guy. He is signed through 28-29 on a mutually beneficial deal. He brings it every single night - not a guy who signed and coasts. ZERO POINT ZERO percent...

    Group season ticket I am part of - one guy had buddy cancel, I was able to step in. So yea, blind luck there. We trailed 5-2 and the place was a morgue. It felt like the season was over. We were getting crushed with one Grade A look after the next on Gus. Then the penalties started coming and...

    That was the craziest hockey game I've ever seen in person at any level. The Wild scored 6 goals in a 5:45 game time span.

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    Disagree. The Barn would be packed if the team was even close to consistently competitive. There’s no rule when building a new facility that it has to be screwed up.

    You’re wrong about attendance. We’ve averaged over 14k fans dozens of times. In the 90s, they were basically sold out on season tickets alone.

    “Missed a couple breaks?” Collins was up 2 breaks at 4-1 in the 3rd, up love-40 for a 3rd break. Iga saved all 3, won that game and 5 more in a row Stunning collapse. Sad ending for Collins as this is her last Aussie Open. 🙁

    I think something quite close to that, yes. The moves wouldn’t have been made without reasonable assurances he would have a chance to see it through, barring complete meltdown.

    Guerin isn’t going anywhere. He will be allowed to see this through to salary cap freedom. As he should. He has done an excellent job. This team has had too many injuries to sustain anything.

    Some thoughts

    Great point. Guy misses one shot badly. Should probably just cut him.

    Ben Johnson is NOT a disaster....

    Interesting data. Not the least bit surprising, honestly. Your point is taken. That said, the way I see it, there are indeed a few “joyless asshats” here. These are the ones that are blatantly or thinly veiled-ly (?) rooting for failure, all in the name of — so they can assert they were right...

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

    “Cut the cable” was a conspiracy! It sure as hell isn’t cheaper to see what you want to see. It’s way less convenient and death by a thousand cuts, instead of flat $159/month.
