    Inside the Hall: 2025-26 Big Ten offseason at a glance: Minnesota Golden Gophers

    "Bottom tier roster" doesn't jibe with some of the analytics evaluations we've seen. Will be interesting to see if indeed these guys can play, which is always going to be a question for players who are transferring up.

    Vikings legend Jim Marshall passes away

    Wow, Fran. This was really something.

    Vikings legend Jim Marshall passes away

    Marshall was the embodiment of the great Viking teams of that era. I half expected him to live forever. Rest in peace, Purple People Eater.

    My girlfriend and I were high on life for days after Game 7. She had been in attendance with her brother, and I hosted a watch party nearby. We all met up to celebrate on the streets afterward (don't ask me how we all found each other in the pre-mobile phone era; it just always happened!). Just...

    2026 NCAA Tournament

    Next time they're jumping the shark wearing a leather jacket. The time after that, they'll be naked. Seriously, they think of shark jumping as a good thing. "Hey, look at me! I'm jumping over a shark!" in Ralph Wiggum voice. They don't conceive of how stupid and greedy they look.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    I was going to reply this. He had the worst conference winning percentage in school history, which is, by definition, historically bad. It's okay to talk about facts. That's not an undue shot at the individual. He himself knows he wasn't as successful here as anyone who came before him...or as...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I'm not inclined to declare or accept this series being over. As good as the Thunder are, the Wolves have shown what they'te capable of. They're also showing how many bolts they need to tighten to be a championship team. There's no better time for that than the present.

    Haha, we'll Midwestern-guilt ourselves into blowing up the team.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    This discussion thread seems to have been misinterpreted. It's not a matter of whether he should make some kind of public statement; it's merely an observation that he hasn't, and wondering what's going on with him since his dismissal. It's only natural to wonder.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I've said it before, and I'll say it forever as the father of a former competitive gymnast. Gymnastics judging is way more consistent and way more objective than basketball officiating. The way basketball games are officiated determines so many games and playoff series.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    The only path to defeat at this point is turnovers and opponent's three-point field goals. Avoid those things.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    That's no more likely to happen than it was with Pitino. As a general rule, the fans here had little ill will and few cross words for Richard. I seem to have a higher opinion of Gopherholers than you do.

    KIRK: Aren't you the one who always says a little suffering is good for the soul? MCCOY: I never say that.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    I do believe he has something to build on if he wants to rebuild a coaching career. He has a good deal of knowledge and ability, and his experience here for sure added a wealth of knowledge and knowhow to what he had coming in. He just did things out of order in his career because of the...

    You beat me to it! This streak has taken the champagne out of the cellar and put it on ice on full view. I really, sincerely hate to admit this, but this extraordinary streak is more remarkable than any singular positive accomplishment could be. I mean, teams win conference and league...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    I haven't wanted to dwell on the past, but it's strange enough that it's worth noting. He hasn't posted on Twitter since November 20th; didn't even post during the season after Thanksgiving. Even just that is curious. The way he's fallen off the face of the earth since his tenure ended...

    Golden State Warriors/Minnesota Timberwolves

    I've watched OKC a little in this Denver series. They're objectively awesome. But they ARE beatable, as evidenced by Denver having beaten them, haha. You gotta come with your best game for 48 minutes, though, and I'm not sure these Wolves have that in them. Would love to be proven wrong. That's...
