Dumb Q -- when buying Gopher gear online, what's your favorite or go-to website/place? Goldy's Locker Room...UMN bookstore…Dicks Sporting Goods…Fansedge…Kohls…???

Fun idea for a thread! 1) Born/raised in St. Cloud, MN...but was never a SCSU fan, even when Herb came up to coach. Fond memories of playing knee hockey in the hallway with my kid brother.

So much for my $50 parlay for the Twins, Vikings, and Gophers Football to win it all this year. I would've treated us all to a week-long bender @ Vegas.

Best away record in the majors? I'll take it.

Thanks Rube! I found a couple on the FSN site now too. That was pretty funny. Whatever we need to do to fire up target field! It's doubly-funny if you know how truly difficult/impossible it is for most Germans to pronounce the word "Squirrel" :lol: :lol: :lol: Every time my kids rib me for butcheri...

So, my family is back in town on vacay and we decided to catch a Twins game this afternoon. Sorry - our bad. Won't come back again until after we win the World Series

PS - Mays suuuuuuucks.

The pitcher's reaction immediately after it's launched is so d@mn funny. It's like he's thinking to himself, "What am I even doing here?"

I have zero problem with it. The first tiebreaker is goal differential. I have zero problem with scoring that many goals as well. That said, "Why are they celebrating like that after 10 goals?

Still not sure I'd put them any higher than fourth among Houston, New York, and Boston, but boy can they beat the hell out of bad teams. I'd check the records for all of them vs teams > .500.

In countries that use the metric system, do they still use PSI as a measurement for tires? (yes, this could be a REALLY dumb question)

Here in Germany they use bar. I haaaaaate it. Forces me to GTS on my smart phone.

Does anyone have experience as a logistics manager in support of the military? We're hiring. The position is here in Germany. Shipping receiving maintenance. PM if interested.

The Softball team got to have the regional at home in 2014 and it's the only time they've moved on to the super regional. Looks like they were only ranked 14/16 that year--wonder if the B10 has really been on the decline since then.

Michigan was runner up in 2015, the following year.

That's if Goodell even shows up. He's avoided New England all post season. Hence, why I want to watch him have to hand the trophy to them.

For the sake of expounding on number 1... A perfect number is a number that's the sum of its proper divisors. 28=1+2+4+7+14 , and 6=1+2+3 .
