    2024 MN High School Basketball State Tournaments

    Even after the renovation, the Target Center remains an affront to basketball in this state.

    2024 MN High School Basketball State Tournaments

    I'm fairly certain that due to the timing of the foul, even if a technical foul had been issued, the rules state that OT happens no matter what the outcome of the foul shots.

    2023 MN High School Football season

    The other team North beat was Staples-Motley. IMHO, the current four-class product is a result of the League panicking after Khalid El-Amin's Minneapolis North teams won both Sweet 16 titles.

    Sconnie hiring… Alex Grinch??

    I wouldn't touch him with a 39 1/2 foot pole.

    University of Minnesota President's job?

    Which is why only 1 finalist has been announced for the last few president hirings.

    Joe Mauer - Cooperstown - IN!

    The winter he was up for his deal was the winter before Target Field opened. He had the Pohlads over a barrel at the negotiating table. If they would have let him walk because they wouldn't pay him the going rate, there would have been a fan rebellion going into the opening of the new ballpark.

    Non Revenue Generating Sports

    IIRC, the closest any sport at the U outside of FB/MBB/MHK has gotten to profitability is women's basketball during the early 2000s, when they were regularly drawing 12K+ to Williams Arena.

    High School spring practice

    Spring practice already exists in this state. It's called track and field.

    Better Fan Experience

    SPEED UP STADIUM ENTRY It is inexcusable to have lines at the gate back to the street late in the first quarter. Not only is it a PR problem, it's a far bigger security risk than smuggling a flask into the stadium.

    Reusse: Foolish for Gophers to continue avoiding St. Thomas hoops rivalry

    St. Thomas doesn't belong on any Gopher schedule. End of discussion.

    Never a dull moment with Juwan Howard

    Juwan Howard should have been sacked for cause after he threw that punch in Madison two years ago.

    Did others have issues with getting into stadium again yesterday?

    Got into the no-bag line at Gate E at 2:15, didn't scan tickets until 2:40. Exact same problem as 4 years ago. Nothing has changed.

    Hawaii just sent Minnesota to a bowl game in crazy fashion

    The ending of that Hawaii game should look very familiar to those of us who have been around for a while.

    Evanston approves Northwestern's new $800M stadium

    The Bears are currently in negotiations to build their own stadium out on the former Arlington Park Racetrack. That's why they hired Kevin Warren as team president, to hammer out the deals.

    2023 MN High School Football season

    Yup. It took Centennial about a quarter to get their feet under them, and they were lucky they were only down 7-0. Shanking away the last possession before half was not good (1st and goal from the 5 with ~12 seconds left and a timeout and went away with nothing). Still, they found a way to...

    Jerry Kill

    I might have bought this narrative had he stayed out of coaching for a while to get his seizures in order. Instead, the following spring he was right back on the journeyman circuit and threw away any credibility this argument might have bought.

    SI: Gophers' PJ Fleck: Without NIL money, we can't keep team intact

    What isn't changing is that there is absolutely no stomach for NIL in this town. None. Zero. Zilch. But when it comes to bidding for the 16th under assistant east western metro promotion sponsorship for the Vikings, the bidding fee is worth more than every cent of NIL money paid to U of M...

    Wisconsin a 2:30pm BOOM!

    I'm genuinely shocked that the league office let the Old Oaken Bucket be played at the same time as Michigan-Ohio State.

    2023 MN High School Football season

    Hard to tell. Most of the development in the Centennial part of Lino Lakes dates from the early to mid 90s. There may be some buildup of that vintage over by Centerville, but I'm not familiar with the development timeline. Most of Blaine east of Hwy 65 goes to Spring Lake Park. Forest Lake...
