    Will we see Full Banana this season?

    Question for anyone who played football at a higher level than me... ... does wearing a jersey that's the same color as a football help the offense (in other words, does it make it harder for the D to locate the football)? If so, I'm staying we stick with maroon shirts. If not, then full banana...

    All things biking.

    And don't ride an e-bike on wet/muddy trails (true for any bike, not just e-bikes). E-bikes can weigh a lot, and can do a lot of damage to the trails. Make sure the trail is firm before you add a bunch of ruts to the path. I'll get off my soapbox now...

    Board is frustrating to post on because of constant refreshes.

    My guess: A few years back GH updated to a new platform that was developed by a third-party which at the time was great, but that third party hasn't continued to maintain and update their code (e.g., they still do not support "x" and you have to replace that with the word "twitter"). A...

    Rutgers has named Athan Kaliakmanis the starting QB. Rutgers QB Gavin Wimsatt, who started 18 games the last two years announces he's transferring

    There's a reason last year's QB ran so much, the OL. This year Rutgers has a statue as QB, there will be a LOT more sacks. Statues are a lot easier to hit. AK won't last more than four games.

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    Just give me a team that's fun to watch, and I'm happy. The definition of "not fun" is Badger ball, where every possession they just run time off the clock. Play intense defense, and make it interesting on offense, and I'm tuning into the games.

    Rutgers has named Athan Kaliakmanis the starting QB. Rutgers QB Gavin Wimsatt, who started 18 games the last two years announces he's transferring

    Bad move to enter the portal. Rutgers OL can't protect the pocket. I'll give AK four games before he's injured.

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    I like this signing. Sort of a "David vs Goliath" signing. The Gophers may not contend for the B1G title, but they should be fun to watch.

    Which QB do the Vikes draft?

    Worst draft so far is the Falcons. I really don't get it. They just paid Kirk a lot, and have a lot of needs.

    Which QB do the Vikes draft?

    We did give up a lot though, in 2025 we only have one 1st round pick and two 5th round picks. That's it. Free agency works, but getting some late-round picks that contribute on the field really helps with the salary cap, especially ours as we'll have to pay a lot to keep JJ.

    Which QB do the Vikes draft?

    13 picks in, and still not a D-player selected. Looking good for us. Maybe it's time to trade up to get another pick in the first round.

    Which QB do the Vikes draft?

    Another O pick. Looking good for us to get a nice D player with our next pick.
  13. Full Speed Ahead

    Which QB do the Vikes draft?

    I imagine there was a bidding war to see who would get that 10th slot. The Jets weren't going to take him, but other teams would have.

    Which QB do the Vikes draft?

    They probably would (and should) use the top picks for D, but on O, IMO we need a third WR and an interior OL (and a RB but we can pick that up in the later rounds). If we want a great Offense, use the first-round picks on WR and IOL, and select Pratt in the 3rd round. We'd probably get the 2nd...

    Which QB do the Vikes draft?

    I'm on the train that says a QB's success really depends on the other 10 players on the field. If you've got a great supporting cast, being a great QB becomes a whole lot easier. Use the high draft picks to get that supporting cast, and get Pratt in the 3rd round.

    The maximum size you can make a PDF is 15,000,000.00 inches x 15,000,000.00 inches (which comes to 236 miles x 236 miles). So much for my plan of making a life size map of Minnesota.

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    There's also the big deal of regulation, which makes the season interesting for fans of the bottom half of the conference teams. And even if your team does get regulated, then in theory you should be able to compete for the top of the Champions League. In other words, they have a structure that...
