    Baylor loses every player on roster

    Maybe this has been brought up in the portal thread, but AJ Storr, is moving to his 4th college team in 4 years. He also attended 4 different high schools as well. So the last 8 years of basketball he's been on 8 different teams. To some, the grass is always greener on the other side. The free...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Did they determine they stunk in their current colors and decided to ape the Milwaukee Brewers?

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Looking at very early stats, maybe trading Encarnacion-Stand wasn't smart - he'd fit in well here. .174 BA and an 11:1 K:BB stat line. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5012106/christian-encarnacion-strand

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Two things: 1. Those uniforms, white pants or not, are atrocious. 2. The best the Twins can do when promoting their team is using France and Bader? Did they already use up all the contractual media responsibilities of the players that people actually know? This team is sunk.

    Top Ten Movies I Watched in '24

    I wasn't over-the-moon on A Real Pain. I watched it when it was first offered on streaming, before I had heard anything about it, so I went in with a blank slate. The timeline didn't seem realistic which bothered me, and the main characters were too "cartoony". Eisenberg was the prototypical...

    A 90-year-old super fan Louise Quam shares her love for the Golden Gophers

    Thanks for posting. I was at the game, and thought the recognition was awesome. They used to honor longtime season ticket holders in football, and a number of years ago they stopped that. Every time there is a fan survey, I bring it up. Seeing the old timers get honored is awesome. On both the...

    Val Kilmer, Actor Renowned for Receding Into His Roles, Dies at 65

    My sister's favorite movies growing up were Airplane and Top Secret, so I've seen both probably 20+ times as we had the VHS's. Haven't seen Top Secret in at least 25 years, however. I'll have to give it a re-watch.

    BJ Omot Commits to Gophers!!!

    Such is the current state of college basketball - Omot is on his third school in 4 years and the CSU kid is on school three in 3 years. Not complaining about the commits, just an observation.

    Coastal Carolina just announced that all concessions will be free at home football games this fall. Fans can get four items per concession visit.

    I just put blankets stuffed at the bottom of my stadium bags, even if it's 90 degrees out. All my contraband is then stuffed inside the blanket at the bottom of the bag. Extra tip - if you have young kids, always carry them through security. 95% of the time if security sees you struggling to...

    Evans commits to North Carolina

    When I saw the OP thread title I first thought of Dennis "wingspan" Evans and thought "dang, the Gophers just can't quit that dude."

    Scoggins on Hanging the Banner

    Turn this into an opportunity for a fund raiser. I don't know how you'd structure it, but I'd absolutely contribute to NIL or wherever they want it to go to get the banners back. It's a win-win. Fans get their banner back, and the new basketball regime gets more NIL to make the team better.

    Coastal Carolina just announced that all concessions will be free at home football games this fall. Fans can get four items per concession visit.

    This will result in a lot of wasted food. If people are likely standing in long lines for the free stuff, they'll get their maximum allotted amount, whether they plan on consuming it or not. A more reasonable way to do it is go the Falcons route and just actually make them affordable. I don't...

    Fire Motzko

    Still a long way to go, but at this point next year looks like it could be rough. Y'all may get your wish, but a year later. Looking at all the talent that's come through here the last 5 years, with nothing to show for it is frustrating. To be fair, Michigan also had tons of talent with no...

    What’s the over/under on how long until he’s a malcontent with his new team?

    Folks, it wasn't Patino, it is Pitino; it's not Nico, it's Niko and it definitely wasn't Munson

    You mean Gabe Stevenson, right. Too bad about the other night… On the championship broadcast during the intro one of the broadcasters even got it wrong.

    Did hiring Niko move the donor needle? Some insight from DTA

    I will say DTA ran a big fundraising campaign for football and volleyball in the summer/fall. Unless I missed it, I don't recall such a thing for basketball. I think they knew it was fruitless to do so for the DOA basketball program. Now that there is a legitimate coach in place, this should...

    Revenue Sharing Report

    Average volleyball attendance in 2024 was 4,845. Average women's hockey attendance was 2,018. Attendance isn't the be all end all, but a decent indicator nonetheless. B1G volleyball also has TV contracts that puts them on national tv and often on B1G network, where women's hockey is almost...

    ***OFFICIAL NIKO MEDVED OPENING PRESS CONFERENCE THREAD!!!***

    Props to Nadine for asking that! Based on other threads, I may be in the minority, but I loved to hear him talk about the Barn. Now, he's not going to use his opening presser to rag on the Barn, but just the fact that he was so enthusiastic was good to hear.

    You're assuming it was the real Fleck and not his stand-in.
