I've already broken my promise. I'll try to STFU.

See Vikings coach. The assumption that competency requires a someone to be aggressive, dominating or any number of socially negative traits has never been proven to be true. I am doing a study on classical Greek writers. The Odessey has a young man who defies the normal aggressive Greek male...

Expected from the guy who claimed to bet against the Gophers.

I think all four semi-final teams this year had quarterbacks that could throw the long ball to tight ends. Both Penn State and Ohio State had multiple deep passes caught by their TE. What are your thoughts on this?

I believe I saw our remaining strength of schedule in the mid 30ish range. The toughest part of our schedule remains.

I’ve personally driven new executives to the Wharton School of Business as part of onboarding—or at least, that’s what I might claim. But let’s get to the point: some people seem to believe that learning stops the moment you reach the top job or that mentorship ends when you hit the Big Ten...

Did you expect me to whine about $$?

Ben Johnson was hired because he was competent. He is still a competent coach. This streak more than proves the point.

Is it possible that Trump buys Greenland. He has the army shovel off the ice to get to the minerals. The oceans rise, what, 10 to 15 feet, making Miami another Amsterdam. I would bet on this before I would take Miami.

I am calm. It will be Miami like on Wednesday with 50 degrees of arctic warmth. I think it was snow blindness/madness/low vitamin D. Seriously. I'm going to be okay.

Skepticism is what keeps me grounded and sane. It's an undervalued virtue that deserves more recognition. However, on this forum, it often morphs into the relentless force behind heated debates, turning discussions into a chaotic mess. Hence, residing on a barrier island...

I am still stuck on catastrophic home insurance rates. So I looked it up. I was surprised by the relatively LOW rates that came back for a $500000 home came back at 2600 annual cost. In which case, Heatherman got a huge pay boost and I wish him well. I am now reexamining why I shouldn't just...

Minnesota's remaining Strength of Schedule now ranks 31st. There are many on here that suggest that even winning most of the remaining games would keep them out of tournament play. I don't think they understand how this works. The first half of the season means little compared to the second half...

If anything is true about our allegiance to Gopher sports it is this. The more we love the team, the more absurd it becomes. The more we love one coach or another, the less we are satisfied with the team we love. We move from one absurdity to the next. So we profess our love for one heroic...

When you say "May God have mercy on your soul," it always sounds like he is making a sandwich. Other times, I think "Who is Mercy and when will God send me a Mercy." Yes. STFU.

Of course. The economics of hurricanes is more than the cost of the homes destroyed. The numbers add up. The pool has to include business, charities and government buildings and infrastructure. The pool pays for all of these things. Heatherman has walked into a financial nightmare without even...

Curiously, after reading about splitting the atom, your post inspired me to think creatively about physics. What could happen if we could split time? Fascinating. Okay, my brain is now bent in a pretzel shape. Thanks for that. I blame you. Carry on. Good morning. I'll go back to bed now...

This from a man that boasted he bet on Oregon.

I missed you, you magnificent curmudgeon. Reliable as ever.

The idea that Ben Johnson is a bad coach reminds me about the egg and cholesterol. Eating an egg for most of human history was normal. Then we learned about cholesterol. Suddenly, we became afraid of the egg. We stopped eating them. Then we learned that eggs are actually good for the heart and...
