    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    I know we're talking about Shooter and I know that we're getting a touch into the weeds, but it would have been really nice to add a line that alludes to something like this: "it's very likely we won't see a resolution until after June 1, because that is when teams won't be affected in regards...

    I could have wrote a dissertation on the subject, but that would go against the whole ethos of the field of study.

    All Things Immaculate Grid-related (MLB, NBA, NFL)

    Strange grid today, with the only criteria for all nine squares being “played in MLB”. I went obscurity hunting from the Twins archives and ended up with a score of 0%. Twins used: Vic Albert, Mark Funderburk, Craig Kusick, Terry Bulling, Pete Redfern, Andre David, Rick Sofield, Hosken...

    Big Ten Top 10 Reality Is Setting In

    It’s a fool’s game to project in March, before the tournament has ended, the standings of any conference, when the make-up of teams are totally in flux. Not only the portal but NBA draft declarations (that always include surprises) will shift rosters unexpectedly. Plus we’re already seeing...

    A great point guard for SDSU back in the day too, earning All-WAC honors in both sports. Found this snippet on his Wikipedia page: By the following season in 1979, Gwynn still had not heard from Aztecs baseballcoach Jim Dietz about joining the team after the basketball season.[39] However, an...

    Thanks for posting this golf, one of my favorite things to do is peruse this list for noteworthy names. Although I don’t see All Wight listed, he’s got a spot on my all name list, along with: Mister Dean (#48, SG) Zarique Nutter (#69, SF)-you can’t convince me he was #70 on the list, but someone...

    Richard Pitino to Villanova?

    And I hear it’s always sunny there, so they got that going for them.

    Stanford Fires Troy Taylor

    I’m surprised it took this long to fire him, seems Stanford was willing to keep rolling along with this mediocrity before ESPN brought the story to brighter light: https://www.espn.in/college-football/story/_/id/44319805/stanford-football-coach-accused-reports-bullying-belittling-female-staffers

    CSU Students React to Medved's Departure (CBS Colorado)

    "It hurts because Niko is such a good head coach," Walsh said. "Three out of the last four NCAA tournaments, we were on such an upward slope. This feels like it sets us back just a little bit." Math people, is there such a thing as an upward slope? 🤔

    All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    A really nice article from Jon K. expanding on Ingles’ start in front of Jacob and the family last night. A wonderful, humane decision on Finch’s part: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6222598/2025/03/22/joe-ingles-son-autism-timberwolves/?source=user_shared_article

    All Things Immaculate Grid-related (MLB, NBA, NFL)

    Nice work Ope, I messed up on putting a player in the wrong square, but even without that issue, I wouldn't have gotten my score under 20. I also used Willie H and Ben O on my grid and shared Banks and Hall for the Twins, with another backup catcher (Salas) for the final square. Btw, have...

    Favorite John Feinstein Book

    Let Me Tell You A Story about Red Auerbach was written long past Feinstein's celebrity was established and he was being criticized for being a book factory, but it was one of the most enjoyable sports reads I've ever had. Well worth it for basketball fans.
