Our dog often gets agitated when we jump up or yell after a goal (he’s a neurotic border collie mix). So I’ve been trying to include him in the fun by asking him to come over and give me a high five after goals. He hates having his paws touched so he would halfheartedly throw his paw at me and grum...

Here's my home defense

So Gophers open next season vs OSU, I bet they lose by 34
Well aren't you a ray of sunshine.

I took that as being optimistic1

Well poop!

So how bout them Twins?

Hey guys, I have some ties to ASU. I am curious to your opinion of ASU hockey and where ASU hockey can go. Since you asked nicely, I see ASU as an average team in most conferences that had played a bit dirty to compensate for the gap in talent. Travel costs are always going to be a challenge for sc...

4 MN teams ranked in the top 6 today!
That is pretty incredible. Has to be an all-time first.

It's really nice not being the odd team out. (4/5)

Turn the station, baby it's cold outside

Practices can start January 4th and games “sometime later” https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/12/16/walz-next-steps-covid-restrictions Ugh. My daughter has a tournament scheduled for Jan 8-10.

I heard from a D10 hockey board member (not Blaine) they are planning for a return to youth sports as soon as this week but it’ll look very different. I don’t know if they are guessing or if they were given a heads up from Walz, but this association was told to plan for practices to begin this week...

Was Grand Forks the last time held in the US?

I ordered some stuff from the Gopher shop (Fanatics) during the Black Friday sale. Very disappointed. The Nike shirt was red and yellow (with a gold M that was a very different color from the sleeve detail). I also got a pullover and sweatshirt (both Coliseum brand) and they were super thin and the...

Question: Why don't they hold World Juniors (and camp/tryouts} a little later on, on the Christmas/Holiday break, so that it will impact as few players as possible? If the Gophers are missing 3 of their top 6 defensemen, especially during this shortened season, where every game becomes doubly impor...

During the game yesterday they talked about Justin Jefferson and how he wasn't highly recruited. That seemed odd since he played at LSU. I checked Rivals and sure enough, the kid was a 2 star recruit and received only two scholarship offers (LSU and Nicholls State). Wow. Look at him now! I'm guessi...

When was the last time we had gold breezers?

Don't get me wrong, this would absolutely be the right thing to do. I'm just keeping up hope the college season can somehow happen.

So the MDH is recommending all prep sports be stopped immediately due to Covid transmission. If this happens I have hard time believing youth hockey will continue. D6 has already cancelled all scrimmages and will only allow league games after this week. I know kids sports are a small thing against ...

Bewitched? What's that?

We had our first tournament this weekend. Based just on that I'm going to say we don't make it past Thanksgiving.

I usually complain to my wife and then when the server asks how is every thing I just smile and say fine. I've lived here all my life.

Anyone manage to get a next gen system? I'm making the move from Microsoft to Sony this gen, going with PS5.

Missed out on preorders and wasn't able to snag one today. Hoping there will be a restock by Black Friday!

I'm struggling with this as well . What are your thoughts on why a PS5?

It is nice to get away from it here. I went through my FB unfollow list the other day and re-followed people, just to put most of them back on the list because of the political nonsense.

Having been on the inside of this process for the association YE played in I think you are going about it the right way in asking for areas where he can improve. If a parent came to me with this attitude I asked the coach of the whatever team the kid did not make to provide feedback. We did not sha...

I think you are wasting your time asking for reasons why a kid didn't make the team. No one ever shares eval sheets. I don't think you will ever get a good enough answer other than 'other kids were better'. I would still push for the meeting and see what comes of it. Tell your kid to push harder to ...

Happy birthday, may today's weather be rainy/snowy/sunny/cold/warm/ and what ever else this year wants to do!

I say hold it against him until he graduates from UND. His decision making is obviously still not good

One concern I would have with a college outside the USA is name recognition. Regardless how good of a school, there is an ignorance of colleges outside this country. Some hiring managers (at least here in MN) have a tendency to toss out any applicants that do not have a degree from a US college. Edi...

UAA, UAF, and UAH were dead men walking. They’re being replaced by schools with deeper pockets and a more viable future. I don’t see a reason to pool them together.

This. There were rumors of them folding back in the WCHA days.

John Hill?

At least in high school I was always taught to lead with your shoulder and wrap up with the arms. At what level do they start teaching to try and hit the other player into oblivion instead of wrap and roll?

One interesting email I received today confirmed that MN Hockey may host a U19 season if the high school season doesn't start on time. There are still lots of moving pieces. MN Hockey has already approved a U19 season. Now individual schools need to come to agreement on how that would work. The earl...

Serious question, couldn't schools just do a Facebook live video? Or something similar? For volleyball, basketball, and wrestling there won't be an option at all to see our kids compete if there isn't a streaming solution.

For Fall sports they are ending all post season at the section level--no state tournaments. Will be interesting to see what they do for the winter ones. They are enforcing the no crowds at games on school owned properties, and up to 250 outside. Would assume you could have up to 250 at non school o...

Hulu seems to be the only option now. FSN is having issues with everyone. Gotta wonder how long they can keep that up.

When driving west on HWY 62 by Shady Oak Road there is construction for the light rail. There is a square white sign related to the ongoing construction that says 'NO WAKE'. What does this mean? I've only heard this in regards to boats.
