As of Saturday night, the magic number for the Twins to clench the AL Central title is five… either five Minnesota wins, five White Sox losses, or any combination thereof. There’s a strong chance the whole thing will be decided by mid-week. That’d be a good thing. The number was reduced to five after the [...]
It’s only the second game of the season, but for the Vikings, winning their home opener could be crucial to their season, simply because few teams who start out 0-2 make the post-season, historically. That will be a tall order, as Miami is coming in fresh off a win and looking to build momentum. The [...]
Gophers hoops coach Tubby Smith is hoping to land at least one, and perhaps two, recruits this weekend; so far he’s landed no one for his recruiting class of 2011. The two recruits visiting the Gophers this weekend are Naadir Tharpe of Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, a floor-general-style point guard that could start as [...]
It could happen.

After a season in which the Wolves finished [...]
After a humiliating 41-38 loss to South Dakota at TCF Bank Stadium last Saturday, there can be no further room for doubt: Tim Brewster, who came to Minnesota with no head coaching experience, a career tight ends coach, simply isn’t Big 10 material. And with the Big 10 expanding to include Nebraska and possibly more [...]
First of all, let me say, I’m quite pleased the Minnesota Vikings kept Joe Webb on the team because he’s a versatile, terrific athlete and could play a part in the Vikings future. But on Friday, the Minnesota Vikings traded the wrong backup quarterback to the New York Giants. I’m talking about Sage Rosenfels. He [...]
