Monday Mumblings
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Of course the big news today is Joe Mauer winning the MVP, and it nearly being unanimous .  I'm just curious about the guy who voted for Miguel Cabrera instead.  It seemed the consensus #2 candidate was Mark Texeira, not Miguel Cabrera.  But let's look: Cabrera:  ...

Week In Review - 11/23/09
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — If you've been watching basketball on ESPN this week, you would have noticed them pimping the hell out of their NCAA Basketball Encyclopedia, and probably become a bit annoyed by it.  I got annoyed by it, but I have to tell you that I have this book and it is totally awesome.  There is ...

I haven't been to New Jersey in a while.  I haven't missed it.
I haven't been to New Jersey in a while. I haven't missed it.
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Sorry I haven't posting while out here in Jersey so far this week, folks, but each night when I got back to my hotel room I was just plain tuckered.  The first night the plane didn't land until 7:30, and after the hour drive to the hotel we had dinner (cajun chicken sandwich, fries) and ...

Thanks BTN!
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Awesome.  I pay $2.99, and I get nothing but freezed pictures, skip aheads, and, rarely, as many as four consecutive seconds of uninterrupted picture.  And that's the second half of the game.  The entire first half was nothing more than 1-2 seconds of play, a frozen picture, hit ...

BRYCE WEBSTER ALERT!
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Hey folks, just wanted to drop a quick note that CS-Fullerton plays UCLA on ESPN starting at 11pm tonight, and Fullerton is where Bryce Webster finally ended up after transferring out of Minnesota (there was something about Utah State in there somewhere, but he is at Fullerton). I don't have ... (more) BRYCE WEBSTER ALERT!
Beware the Southland
Beware the Southland
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — One day after seeing Southland Conference mate UT-San Antonio knock off Iowa, the mighty Lumberjacks of Stephen F. Austin roll into Williams Arena looking to snag a second win for their conference over a Big Ten team.  Well, the Gophers aren't exactly Iowa, but SFA is superior to UT-San ...

Week In Review - 11/16/09
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Holy crap dude, how freaking crazy was Belicheck going for it on fourth and two with a six point lead and just two minutes left from his own 30 yard line?  Was that anything other than, "We know damn well if we punt you're going to score and beat us, so we better keep the ball as long as ...

Gophers win, Royce White is still a mystery
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Usually when a rare Saturday roles around where I have no plans and no major projects needing to be done, which today is one of such of that, I like to do nothing.  Sit around, play with Wonderbaby TM , watch some tv, and generally do nothing. However, with the Gopher basketball opener ... (more) Gophers win, Royce White is still a mystery
And So it Begins
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Tonight begins the march to a championship.  Or at least to an NCAA Tournament bid. Your mighty Gophers take on the hated Golden Eagles from Tennessee Tech who, frankly, are going to get blown out of the water. Tech is a small team, with only four players bigger than 6-6, two of which ... (more) And So it Begins

DWG Book Review: When the Game was Ours
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — One of the first books I reviewed this year was "When March went Mad" , a book about Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and their year's in college, so it's appropriate that one of the last books I review this year is "When the Game was Ours" , this time by Magic Johnson and Larry Bird (and ...

Twins Talk
Twins Talk
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Since we unfortunately have a night off from college buckets, and at least one reader is clamoring for Twins roster speculation as seen by the bordering on obsessive comment left earlier today, I'll go ahead and take a look at what some of the rumors out there surrounding the Twins this ...

NCAA Basketball Preview:  The Big Ten
NCAA Basketball Preview: The Big Ten
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — I didn't watch the game, since I couldn't attend and I wasn't going to pay three bucks for that streaming player on bigtennetwork.com (although I'm sure I will on Friday) so I don't have much to say about the shellacking of Moorhead by 2x.  If you're looking for game impressions I'm sure ...

Week in Review - 11/9/09
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — I'm not going to write about Cuddyer here.  If you missed it, the Twins picked up his option and are going to pay him $10.5 million in 2011 .  They had to make the decision by today, and I understand why they picked it up rather than paying a $1 million buy-out, but are you really ...

Dinocroc = Johnny Lawrence? (Live Movie Blog)
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Next up on your live movie blog excitement is a little ditty called "Dinocroc" brought to you by the same jackasses you brought you "Supergator", or as I like to call it, Super Gay.....tor.   It's funny because it's a gay joke.  Oh relax.  Anyway, our synopsis is "Several ...

BREAKING: Bye-Bye Gomez
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Just heard on KFAN that the Twins traded Carlos Gomez to the Brewers for SS J.J. Hardy, who the Sidler actually advocated for last year. I haven't found a link yet.  I will post it when I find one. Here it is .  Still kind of sorting out my thoughts on this, will post more later. (more) BREAKING: Bye-Bye Gomez

NCAA Basketball Preview: The Pac 10
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — You know what I really dig about this conference, other than the beautiful weather and smoking hot chicks, is that every team is paired up with another from the same area, and they always play the same teams in the same week.  You have UCLA/USC, Arizona/Arizona St, Washington/Wash St., ...

Well that was pretty worthless
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — The Gophers beat UMD 114-47 last night, and UMD was so bad that there really isn't much you can take from this game.  The Bulldogs' offense was plagued with airballs (32% shooting) and turnovers (28 total) all night, so it's tempting to say the Gopher defense was great, but I just think UMD ...

Gopher Basketball is finally here
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — Perfect timing.  With baseball season ending, it is time to turn to college basketball and the Gophers start tonight in a preseason exhibition against the hated Bulldogs of UMD. The team has certainly been in the news lately, and for all the wrong reasons, but now it's time to hit the ... (more) Gopher Basketball is finally here
God Damn It.
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com — I hate the Yankees so much.  I can't even believe I thought I hated the Red Sox as much as I hated them.  Not even close. Pretty much the only saving grace tonight is Mrs. W thinks Chase Utley is hot.  That makes two of us, my dear, that makes two of us.  I believe the ... (more) God Damn It.
