    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Question for those with the MLB app to stream the Twins, can you tune in an hour or two late, start from the beginning make your way through commercials like a typical DVR? And/or tune in the following day and watch a day later?

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Here's my complete wild-a** guess on what could be happening. Apparently Rodgers wants a 2-year contract. While the Vikings are currently only willing to give Rodgers a 1-year contract with the idea that they don't want to keep JJ McCarthy on the bench for two more years. With a one year deal...

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    I'm fine with keeping Ben. I've resigned myself to the theory this is just a hard place to win (whether it's due to NIL and/or facilities) and any realistic replacement coach will probably do no better. Richard Pitino's success in New Mexico only confirms my feelings.

    Reusse: Unlike the Gophers’ coaching situation, the solution for Williams Arena is simple: Blow up The Barn

    I used to be in the "keep the barn" camp, but since the team has become a nonfactor (I've basically switched to watching hockey the last few years), my desire to keep the barn has waned. Maybe bigger version using this type of roof...

    Movies that hold up vs. those that don't

    Yes, I've seen all the versions as well. I actually have a soft spot for the original theatrical version that had the narration in spots by Harrison Ford. Apache Mall brings back memories. I loved the fact it had a bowling alley in the basement.

    Movies that hold up vs. those that don't

    Anybody else see the original Blade Runner in the theaters in 1982? I had just turned 16 and had my driver's license. I remember Harrison Ford appearing on Johnny Carson promoting this new film. It must have been in the summer, because I wouldn't have been up watching that during school. I was...

    Memorial Stadium

    If anyone ever finds old audio clips of Jules Perlt and/or Ray Christensen from either Memorial Stadium or the barn. Please post them. Those voices are really the only thing I miss from the old days.

    Memorial Stadium

    My experience was a bit different. I was at the U from 1984-1988 and lived on campus (first two years in Territorial Hall). We had 6 of us with tickets from my house in the dorm. We actually kind of liked the MetroDome. The walk across the Washington Ave bridge to the dome was fun. The...

    Fubo vs YouTubeTV vs Others

    I agree. I've tried a few of the services and one of the main reasons I like YTTV the best is it's DVR system design. I watch 95% of TV on delay (including sports), so, the DVR is the most important feature for me.

    B1G vs SEC

    Something most people in the north don't understand is how many people in the south really put a lot of emotional equity and pride in the SEC being a dominant powerhouse. There's a real south vs the Yanks to it. I can assure you there are many folks with a sense of melancholy on what has...

    Dukes Mayo Celebrity Mascot

    Good memories. During high school years, I stumbled into early rap in 1983 when I heard Grand Master Flash's "The Message." Completely blew me away, never heard anything like it. That led to buying everything from Grand Master Flash and Furious Five, Whodini, Run-DMC, The Fat Boys, etc.. Another...

    Yes, they were awful. But, I’m someone that doesn’t like our gray or anthracite uniforms, so, take that into account.

    All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

    It's a fair comparison, however, one difference is the raw skills of the two players. Darnold has the tools/abilities that earned a top 5 pick. On side note, I saw Jamar Chase could be on the market. I'm sure we won't trade for him, but that would be the greatest receiver trio history...

    All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

    Yep. I trust KOC on this. Whatever he decides to do, I'll roll with (in my book he's earned some capital). That includes if he shocked everyone and says we have signed Darnold for 3 years at $100M and we just traded JJ McCarthy for a late first round pick (not sure if we could get that...
