    All Things NCAA Tournament Games

    I hope Ben watched that game and heard the stat mentioned towards the end of the game: Miami didn’t attempt a 3-pointer in the 2nd half. If you don’t have players on the court that are not good 3-point shooters, don’t keep heaving them up. You can win with quality 2-point shots.

    NCAA Men's Hockey Tournament Brackets

    Was anyone else surprised at the lack of attendance at their game yesterday? It was half full at best. Manchester is only 60 miles from Boston.

    NCAA Men's Hockey Tournament Brackets

    I get the frustration, but all the whining on Twitter is a bit embarrassing. If we don’t make it out of Fargo, I’m blaming it on some sort of non-rational karma.

    STrib Reusse: Gophers men's hockey program and fans are all the way back as the big chill ends

    Pretty much the same with me. I basically boycotted for a few years and returned a couple years ago. U of M students now don’t really have that WCHA connection, it‘s mostly us older graduates.

    Women’s Hockey Send-Off

    Too bad this game is not on a normal TV channel (it’s on ESPN+). The BTN is showing a re-run of last year’s men’s hockey final. I’m not going to blame BTN, because I assume ESPN has the rights to it and they’re relegating it to streaming. They’ve allocated ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPNews to all cover...

    Dylan Wright

    Yep. Even if he didn't get along with the coaching staff (no idea if true, just saying if that was the case) if he just approached next year with the mindset: I need to grind out one last year, I have a great looking QB in Athan, I show out and I'm looking good for the draft.

    All Things Golf

    You were not the only one that missed it: What, the Charles Howell III vs. Peter Uihlein duel didn’t capture your imagination? You weren’t alone. John Ourand of Sports Business Journal reported that the overnight rating for Saturday’s LIV Golf debut on the CW Network was a .2 in 26 metered...

    If you're a pizza fan, nice national exposure

    I've been to Red Wagon, and really like the place. Have not yet been to Wrecktangle Pizza, but it's on my list. This video made me hungry. Fun video clip. https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/food/video/gma-visits-minneapolis-quest-find-best-pizza-us-97215134

    Sinclair(Bally's Sport) nearing a deal for NBA streaming rights for direct to consumer offering

    Yeah, probably correct. I guess it depends if their bankruptcy is going to lead to a restructuring or collapse.

    All Things Golf

    Interesting story on LIV golf's problems. From day one I've believed that this league will implode within 5 years of it's birth. I think the Saudi's will eventually decide to pull the plug on this money pit. Lynch: Saudis have Greg Norman to thank for their U.S. legal nightmare a snipet...

    Sinclair(Bally's Sport) nearing a deal for NBA streaming rights for direct to consumer offering

    Anybody know the status of Twins baseball on Bally for this year? I signed up for the app for Wolves and Wild, but I don't think the Twins reached an agreement to stream on Bally yet, correct?

    STrib; Gopher Hockey Attendance Rebounds

    I'm another good example. After leaving the WHCA, I basically lost interest in the team. Last year when I saw they were off to a 10-0 start, I decided to tune in again. After seeing the quality of play on ice, I decided if Minnesota is only going to offer me one good sports team, I might as well...

    TODD BLACKLEDGE, NOAH EAGLE & KATHRYN TAPPEN TO CALL NBC SPORTS’ NEW BIG TEN SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL PACKAGE

    Same, except I usually play music versus announcers. Having said that, I do like Todd Blackledge. I liked Brad Nessler matched up with him.

    Gopher Running Back Mount Rushmore.

    I was a student from 1984-1989, and the Metrodome was a fun atmosphere during the Holtz era. Crowds were great, hopes and expectations were growing. Walking to the dome from the dorm for games was even alright. However, the lean years in the late 80’s to mid 90’s basically relegated the dome to...

    Hawai’i Ideas.

    Hawaii is my favorite warm weather destination. On Oahu, the north shore has the largest waves. If they are rolling big it's impressive to see and hear in person. You'll also see some good surfing. Waikiki Beach is a tourist mecca, but really is an impressive beach to hang out at. I'd recommend...

    Gopher Uniforms for Bowl are?

    For me, only if it's anthracite or black. Granted I don't actually get angry, I just roll my eyes and then enjoy the game. The maroon Goldy helmet we are apparently rolling with is my favorite, bar none.

    MP: Pat Borzi: How Can U Volleyball Turn a Profit?

    The college volleyball court width is narrow enough that I don’t think the raised floor is an issue on the sides. Couldn’t you create custom fit 3 foot deep pads that would sit on the floor on the end lines? I suppose storage of these would be an issue. Even if they were only a foot thick...

    The worst call ever?

    If I was on the winning team, I’d honestly feel bad winning that game. I’d always know it was a fraud.
