Silver floated the idea of switching to 10 Minute Quarters. If it meant less load management I think it would be a huge win for the NBA. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/adam-silver-says-hes-a-fan-of-shortening-nba-quarters-to-10-minutes-also-floats-idea-of-free-throw-change/ Tons of...

https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-vikings-blake-cashman-eden-prairie-gophers-green-bay-packers/601200282 For me a key turning point in the Fleck era was when Purdue came to The Bank on 11/8/2018 following a huge debacle in Champaign the game prior. Cashman's strip, scoop and score was a...

Cool to see both Prince & The Replacements in the Top 5. Not sure how Harrison/Simon playing Here Comes the Sun didn't make the grade. Only thing I can think of is "no repeat" performers and they went with Homeward Bound instead. Also not including Queen with Under Pressure seems like a huge...

News to me, the MIAC last month announced they are adjusting their basketball format, no longer is it double round-robin (20 games for the Men). Now just a 16 game schedule. Also double headers even during the week with the Women...

Really bummed to hear this news. Just so many great characters on SCTV. https://www.tvinsider.com/1129950/joe-flaherty-dead-tributes-sctv-freaks-and-geeks/

Granted we need to let the investigation play out. Having said that, I am quite skeptical of the narrative Ohtani's legal team putting forth. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/explaining-gambling-scandal-after-shohei-ohtanis-interpreter-accused-of-stealing-millions-from-dodgers-star/ Sounds...

It feels like #7 should get his own thread, especially if the question mark can be removed by tomorrow. Originally I was going to be surprised if it happened 1st Ballot for Joe Mauer, but the media speculation has got it to the point that it will now be a let down if he falls short. I think it...

Very well done. https://www.startribune.com/laurence-maroney-marion-barber-iii-gophers-football-20-years-later/600318154/

They are going with a "schedule matrix", 9 Conference games, Division-less, Top 2 in title game and only 4 protected rivalries: Baylor vs TCU Arizona vs Arizona St BYU vs Utah Kansas vs Kansas St...

Interesting list spanning all genres. No shock on #1, Jimi Hendrix. Several of my favorites that I still follow currently made the grade including Liz Phair, Bob Mould, Nel Cline, Richard Thompson, J Mascis, Neil Young as well as Mike McCready & Stone Gossard (combined). Not egregious, but I...

This is sad as a 2nd artist part of my father's 8Track collection has passed away in as many weeks. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/gordon-lightfoot-dead-obituary-1234716529/

I am starting it. The 2022 thread went 136 pages. Let's beat that by playing meaningful baseball into October (or even November perhaps). Pitchers and Catchers reported to Ft Myers yesterday. I am hearing they threw the ball around though perhaps management did not want the squad on their feet...

Good get. Todd Blackledge, Noah Eagle & Kathryn Tappen to lead Big Ten football coverage for NBC Sports. All very solid in my opinion. Hopefully they announce/host lots of Gopher football games. https://theathletic.com/4150942/2023/02/02/todd-blackledge-noah-eagle-big-ten-nbc-football/

ACC hooking up with the SEC. No doubt this is fallout for the Big 10 hitching their wagon to CBS/NBC/Fox. https://theathletic.com/3944992/2022/11/28/acc-sec-challenge-college-basketball/

Sad news in the NHL world, Guy Lafleur passed away due to lung cancer. https://www.startribune.com/hockey-hall-of-famer-guy-lafleur-dies-at-age-70/600167063/ This is just days after Mike Bossy passing away, also of lung cancer...

Some really cool shots in this, including a few Gopher related. https://www.startribune.com/best-star-tribune-minnesota-sports-photos-in-2021/600055576/

With shows becoming a thing again, thought maybe we could get a thread going for show reviews in whatever this new normal is (for now). My first show since December 2019 (Jayhawks at 1st Ave) was Run Westy Run at the Turf Club last Friday. Great throwback to the 90s, and a fun time, just as...

Wow, just unreal. In my lifetime this is right there with with Jack's win at the '86 Masters and Tiger's comeback at the '19 Masters as far as theater. Understatement for sure. Watson at The Open coming up short in '09 at age 59 was just heartbreaking. All weekend I was convinced that Phil...

So there will apparently be 4 teams on stand by. Also from this announcement, appears the NIT is a go. https://dknation.draftkings.com/2021/2/25/22301524/ncaa-tournament-covid-19-policy-march-madness-bracket-team-replacement-rules
