MN announced a new pilot program for vaccinating people 65 and over. The call center for appointments opened at noon today. I called at 12:01 and got a message that this number has been disconnected.

If you go to the Korean War Memoria be sure to approach the platoon (squad??) from the rear. It's quite haunting IMHO, especially at dusk. See #4 above. Snapped this when I was in D.C. and it was snowing. Always loved this photo....Chilling Nice pic. I remember telling my wife that before seeing th...

They were never destined to win all their games, but home sweeps against hurt. Fortunately, there were no fans in the stands to witness the blood letting. Maybe fan support would have made a difference - who knows. On the team, I would say Brodzinski has a wicked good shot and a sneaky release, but...

My wife and I want to visit Washington DC once COVID settles down and attractions start to reopen (like the Smithsonian). There is so much to see in DC so I'm wondering what the must-see sites should be on our first visit? We went for a week in 2010. When the week was up we realized we had just scr...

Buy the phone or iPhone connector that goes into an hdmi. That’s what I used along with GE’s xfinity subscription. Works pretty well. Used it all summer to get Twins games at my cabin.

Dave, I posted this 2 years ago. We went in Oct. I think summer would be too hot. Back from our first time visit of Utah. What a gorgeous state.

Zwak, I don't understand the answer for 5. last week about the bridge.

Did not realize that Bama has a punter on the roster.

Nice little send off for Alex.

Tommy Lasorda has died. He was 93

If not for Covid I would switch to Directv today. But I don't want an installer spending a couple hours here setting it up.

Crap!

Just listened to the Jaxon Nelson interview. Did a lot of hay baling last summer. Made me wonder, when was the last time we had a farm kid on the roster?

Sacking the QB is now a personal foul. LOL

Im just loving the irony of fans bitching on the gophers facebook page that its stupid these games are on FSN and why arent all their games on BTN now...

Maybe they're like me and no longer get FSN but do get BTN.

Haven't heard much from Dabo today.

Gives him another platform for Gopher bashing.

Our neighbor girl says she's going to SCSU to become a TV meteorologist. She says it's less schooling than to be a non-tv meteorologist. That was a new one to me.

Between no one getting FSN and no real known game times viewership will match arena attendance of recent years.

I'd like to know how many homes in MN get FSN now compared to 2 years ago.

Charlie Strobel has only played in 2 games and missed a long string of games. Anyone know what’s up with him?

Hopefully see Huglen and Lucius return soon
Came here to ask this question about Strobel. Looked without success.

Is he related to Eric Strobel?

Done. Thanks for keeping this going Jup.

Sounds like another storm Tuesday night and Wed.

Plus the USHL has had tons of cancellations compared to college hockey so no guarantee he's going to develop as he would during a normal year if he stays there. For me, this is the bigger reason.

I know they don't have a conference why are they playing in ours? They are playing an all B1G schedule this year.
Audition.

If ASU continues to play the style they did last year they can go to hell. They belong in a league with North Dakota.

Yup.

I've never been a fan of the hot dish/casseroles (whatever you want to call it) food genre and to me goulash is just variation of the same sad noodles, hamburger, cream of ____ soup combo. Thanks no thanks. When we got married my wife claimed to have never had hotdish, as her family was strictly me...

1. There is not nearly enough vaccine to go around. (at least for many months)
2. Health officials are concerned that around 30% of Americans say they won't take the vaccine.

If 1 is true, why is 2 an issue?

Hey Bearpaw, I think you missed an icing call on your play by play.

This is why the world juniors worries me for the likelihood of making it through the 2021 portion of this season. Plus, the world juniors end on Jan 5th. So do the players who come back to the US have to quareentine for 14 days? If so, that means no players until Jan 20th for teams that play until ...

Thanks to whoever pointed out they only say “Strauss Mann” instead of just Mann. Now I can’t not hear that. Every. Time.

You're welcome!

Gophers should get at least a split in this series. With both teams missing quality players the wild card for me is Strauss Mann. Can he steal one of the games for Michigan? We will see. And will the announcers continually call him Strauss Mann, as though you can't just use his last name like you d...

I'm not wishing Covid on anyone, but this might be a blessing in disguise if some get it now and they have to shut it down.

I'm with you. If you have a referee/official/etc who's making sure the rules are followed (jump starts behind the line, nobody starts running too soon, penalties/etc in team events) sure. As soon as you've got a judge awarding style points as the primary determiner of who wins? Not so much. Good lu...

I swear, every single time the camera was on the Sparty bench, the coach had his mask around his chin. If he was talking or yelling he pulled his mask down. Doesn’t that sort of defeat the point?
