If we have enough peeps interested, I can run a pool again this year.

let's here your picks.. Houston over Cinci Seatlle over Washington Indy over Baltimore And... Vikes over GB Since I'm a die hard Vikes fan I can't go any other way on that one. I wouldn't bet on the Vikings going into GB and winning after just beating them last week. GB is still cocky...

We still need some teams for the AI fantasy football league. The draft is live online and set for Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. If you aren't available at that time you can pre-rank your players and autodraft. There is a $10 entry that I'll collect later, 100% payout. Prizes with 10+ teams from AI. ...

Guessing , now vikes got a new stadium going now..i'll see if afford to go there ? Location... Hmm i did thought arden hills was the best spot thou and heck didn't want it there due to air and traffic in my area. We ought to build a new stadium for the TWINS maybe it will perk them up abit! ...

So who will it be with the #3 pick for the Vikes? Or if you are a Packers fan or any other team, who do you think your team will pick in the first round tonight? 1st and 2nd pick are set (Luck to Indy at #1 and RGIII to the Skins at #2). Spielman has said there are 4 options on the table: ...

Packers Round 1: DE Nick Perry (USC) NFL.com draft analysis: Strengths Perry has a very strong base and balance that helps him keep momentum toward the backfield regardless of his initial move. Perry plays with good leverage and surprising athleticism for his size. He has a good burst off...

Hard to believe this is the same Gopher hockey team that struggled so much last year. Amazing the addition Guntzel made. Seeing this is the last year of the WCHA it's only fitting the Gophers win the title. Now, onto the final 5 and then hopefully a national title run. :clap:

Listened to parts of both Twins preseason games this weekend. Cory Provus has replaced John Gordon as the main announcer. The difference is night & day, T-bone vs ground chuck, Cadillac vs Yugo, Walleye vs Pout. :D He actually knows the score, the count, who is up, what inning, heck it's like he...

Catchers and pitchers start reporting this weekend. Opening day isn't that far away now. Anybody think any of the teams in our division can beat the softball team in Detroit this year? Twins need the M&M boys to snap back this year. Can't wait for the season. :Banane33:

Hey Yo, Although I had hoped for a sweep on this last road trip. At least the Golden Gophers avoided being swept themselves. For some reason the Gophers have started to hit the 3 ball. They used it again to win another road game and keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive. We are having some...

Hey Gopher fans, The Goph's played their best game of the season on Thursday night and beat 7th ranked Indiana in their house, in front of a sell out crowd. :Banane01: It shows what a good team they can be when they make their shots. They hit 6 3's in the first half and only allowed the best...

The first half was hard to watch as the Boilers hit every shot they took for about 10 minutes, that include 10 3 pointers. The Gopher shot over 50% in the first half but were down by 15 at half time. It's getting worse for the Gopohers, after losing back to back home games they now have to go into...

I can see next year is going to be a tough one to stomach. Cuddyer, Kubel gone. Delmong Young and Thome late last year gone. Nathan gone. Cuddyer got just over $30M for 3 yrs. Kubel got $15M for 2 yrs. In fairness to the Twins, I wouldn't pay either of them that much either. And then...

Hey Gopher fans, The Golden Gopher basketball team plays it's last non conference game of the season tonight at the Barn. The Big 10 season starts on Dec 27th on the road at Illinois, a place where the Gophers seldom win. I guess we'll see just what they are made of when they tip off against a...

as much as i dislike the vikings. i will say it was pretty fun watching allen go for the sack record. dude was trying everything to get that record. hats off to one of the lone bright spots. on a side note. webb looked pretty ordinary against a team that was prepared for him.

Now that I want the Vikes to lose they will most likely win, but we have an outside chance to get the #1 pick. Not a very good chance, but the only way is for us to lose out. If we lose out and Indy can beat Jacksonville (Jacksonville stinks so potentially they could win if the coaches don't hold...

Went to the SCSU vs Gopher game in St. Cloud Friday night. 4-3 SCSU win. Love college hockey!! Along with a fast paced game the college kids are fun to watch and listen to. Anybody else go to college games?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the sports people here. :banana-wave: :Banane01: :D

Hey Yo, Well it's Gopher basketball season once again. They aren't ranked so far this season but they have played some good basketball at times.:clap: They are 5-0 after a come from behind victory over DePaul yesterday. They will be playing Indiana St. today in the second round of the Old Spice...

Cuddyer will be missed this year. Not so much because of his talent but more for his effort. When he was in the line up you know he would give whatever he had. That couldn't be said by all the players last year. 30+ million for 3 years from the Rockies ain't bad!! Pitchers and catchers report...

Twins seem to be in a rebuilding mode, Wild and Wolves... ummm... who knows.. But at least we have the Vikings. What a great showing last night, looking like another strong year :lolsign: Oh wait, we have Gopher football.. :cry:

Pretty sad when you need to buy a shortstop for your Major League club. Carroll might be ok, but the age thing concerns me. The upside is this should spell the end for Nishioka unless he has a whale of a spring training camp. :clap:

Too bad it wasn't Span and Liriano.......... http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110815&content_id=23241420&vkey=news_min&c_id=min

I am not a big fan of the WNBA but I did watch the second half of the game last night. Great to see some professional MN sports team bring home a championship. Congrats ladies!

Love the Twins, or hate them. A legend left us tonight. John Gordon issued his final sign off as a Twin's radio announcer and he will be missed. Thank you John Gordon. I grew up listening to your voice, through good times and bad, you will always mean Twins Baseball to me.

What the hell. 12-23. To take a quote from the movie Major League. "These guys are chitty". We have a lot of money tied up in players that won't play, can't hit, can't pitch. 11 games back right now with no signs of improvement. Mauer hasn't played in 25 games. Maybe he should think about giving...

St. Cloud State hockey program joined the NCHC conference which includes CC, Denver, UMD, Omaha, North Dakota. That means there are four teams left in the WCHA. That leaves the WCHA trying to get teams to join to keep that confernece alive. I am glad the SCSU was invited to play with the better...

What are your thoughts on the new coach Jerry Kill? I know it will take a couple years to see any direction but I can't understand why the U of M can't put a decent team together. I love college football but watching the Gophers has been tough over the last decade. Hopefully he can keep some of the...

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/44152962/ns/sports/ time to get a glass case for that Jersey.

He becomes only the 8th player in history to hit 600 HR. What a class act guy. This is the guy you want your kids looking up to.Congrats Mr. Thome.
