    Nebraska lawsuit.

    My apologies if this has been posted before on this board but I didn't see it. Whatever the truth ends up being out of this it's not good at all. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39558773/ashley-scoggin-sues-nebraska-relationship-coach

    RIP M. Emmet Walsh

    What a career. He is a That Guy Hall of Famer. Love, love, love him in Blade Runner. https://www.avclub.com/r-i-p-m-emmet-walsh-blade-runner-blood-simple-knives-1851354180

    All things biking.

    I wanted to start a general thread, inspired by Fan of Ray Williams winter thread. I am currently in Sweden biking on the massive Kattegattleden national bike trail which runs 260 miles from Gothenburg to Malmo. While I am not doing a massive ride (maybe 70 miles over 3 and a half days) it has...

    Strande?

    Didn't see her on the bench so I checked gophersports. She is no longer on the roster. Did I miss the announcement of her departure?

    RIP Cloris Leachman

    She was fantastic in film noir, all sorts of TV appearances, the Oscar winning role in the gut wrenching The Last Picture show, comedy perfection in Mel Brooks films and as a guest voice on the Simpsons. Honestly, her acting range was limitless. It's a close call on which of these two bits...

    Buccaneers row the boat.

    Winfield and Johnson apparently bringing more than football skills to the team.

    RIP Justin Townes Earle

    Uggh..dead at 38. There's no good way to die so young but I really hope his addictions didn't return.

    Remembering the great Ricky Jay

    I'm currently rereading Ricky Jay's book Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women. It's a very fun look at oddball performers through the ages, such as the two and foot tall, flipper handed magician, illustrator and magician Mattias Buchinger, or the poison eaters and Jay's idol, the great magician Max...

    1980 Gophers vs Purdue

    Stumbled across this clip from the first half of an old game. McHale owning Joe Barry Carroll in this one. The game starts about 8 minutes into the clip. There are some delightfully cheesy ads, including a dandruff commercial with the principal from The Breakfast Club. RIP Mark Hall.

    2020 All Hockey Hair Team

    I'm glad he reconsidered his retirement announcement last year. https://kfan.iheart.com/featured/the-halvy-blog/content/2020-03-07-the-all-hockey-hair-team-is-back-for-2020/?fbclid=IwAR3iMCOyeZj0OWmu5sZKIBWJFOfT52vjOAljtl5JL924d8n5zBBkomXjMF4

    Cool video. Man films one year of animals crossing river.

    This is some great use of a trail cam. https://twistedsifter.com/videos/animals-crossing-log-compilation/?fbclid=IwAR1TncVcU0TKBVF9QxkX9WfP5fVKmYg0C1CByGOj8-iGNmWIikRaoUmSpRk

    For film fans: The Wilhelm Scream.

    Curious who here knows about The Wilhelm Scream? It's an old, public domain sound that occurs in a massive number of movies. The name comes from a scene in a western where some names Wilhelm is shot, although that is not actually the first film it was used in. Here's just a small sample of...

    Ric Ocasek dies.

    RIP. Odd coincidence that I was listening to The Cars and Candy-O a lot over the last week. Absolutely great blends of nervy new wave, straight up rock and roll and synth pop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyFo6p6LGkA&list=RDRyFo6p6LGkA&start_radio=1

    R.I.P. to the great Tony Glover

    Hats off to a man whose playing and writing made devoted fans of Dylan, The Stones, The Beatles and so many more. I caught Koerner, Ray and Glover one time and Ray and Glover a number of times...

    Replay?

    Sorry if this is in another thread but due to a fustercluck at work I missed the game. Does anyone have a link to a replay of the full game?

    Denzel Valentine

    Valentine just put up a triple double of 29, 12 and 12 against Kansas in an MSU win. Included in that were a couple absolutely clutch off balance shots in the last two minutes when the game was very tight. Clearly he's going to have a monster year. Also he's become one of those guys who...

    Izzo on cheating.

    I'd be curious to know how he arrived at this number. It may be that he was just speaking off the cuff but it's still interesting to hear a big name coach make such a direct statement...

    R.I.P. Lorenzo Charles

    Tough to hear this. As a youngster in the mid 80's there were times when my teammates and I got chances to play on low rims so we could dunk. Invariably we would recreate the last play of the 83 championship and yell "Lorenzo Charles!" He gave fans a truly magic moment...

    Gophers join a union.

    This half brought to you by Bricklayers Local 612. We missed dunks, wide open threes and everything in between.

    Yuck.

    Well, it's an exhibition and a lot of the mistakes can be chalked up to the Freshman getting a lot of time. That said, we made some real bonehead plays out there, especially guarding jump shooters. We gave up too many open looks and too often jumped out at the shooter, twice fouling 3 pt...
