    What?!? I thought that was Darnold!
  2. nicksaviking
    Wow. I didn't see this coming. Love to see Jim Harbaugh humbled though.

    They may call a time out, and the good pro QBs may recraft the play but I think there are still a lot who run the play as the coach calls and only move to the prescribed audibles if available and if exact criteria are met. Only a handful say, 'this is a stupid play, we're doing it my way instead'. Not coincidentally, those are the QBs I want on my team.

    Lost in that whole botched goal line stand; even if they scored, Texas was going to leave OSU way too much time to march down and win it. I was already pretty confident it was going to end with a 35 yard field goal.
  5. nicksaviking
    That pitch for a 7 yard loss at the one was such a terrible play call. You can't run in short yardage against that OSU D, so run a play that gets you negative yards if they do what is expected?
  6. nicksaviking
    Funny how OSU fans wanted to fire Ryan Day after the Michigan game. Even funnier that even if they win the championship, those same fans will still want him fired.
  7. nicksaviking
    Wow. That was a crazy last six plays.
  8. nicksaviking
    Texas is going to score, but leave waaaaaaay too much time.
  9. nicksaviking
    Texas is hanging in there. Going in I thought these teams were fairly evenly matched, and the score reflects that, but the play doesn't; OSU is clearly better. Hope they lose.

    As far as pro sports fans go, 'LA faithful' applies to the Dodgers and Lakers only.
  11. nicksaviking
    Yeah, we'll see what those prices drop to about an hour before kickoff. From PFT: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-say-35-000-of-their-season-ticket-holders-bought-tickets-to-game-in-arizona “What an amazing showing by our fans to buy over 35k tickets in initial presales,” Demoff wrote on social media. Yeah, except that's the thing, the Rams don't have 35K FANS who own season tickets. They have 35K ticket brokers who know LA is a destination city and sell their tickets to opposing fans. What a load of spin garbage. The Rams will not have an overwhelming majority of fans here, it will be the same as in LA, an even split or worse.

    Never got to that one, but wish I had. I have heard nice reports about the atmosphere of the area. I would amend my statement from 'the worst stadium' to 'the most dated stadium (without major upgrades)'.
  13. nicksaviking
    I will credit the Twins for being able to play everything close to the vest. Not just with this but with trades and free agents too. Some leaks, but not like other teams. Though, perhaps our lack of bloodhound media types also plays into that equation.
  14. nicksaviking
    The Coliseum was the worst stadium in professional sports. If they'd have built a new stadium any time in the past 40 years, the A's would still be in Oakland. Not defending billionaires getting free billion dollar stadiums, just pointing out why the A's moved and why the Twins won't. The only teams that leave are the ones that demand a new stadium. The Twins are nearly last in line to do that right now.
  15. nicksaviking
    Sure, tell them what NOT to do......
  16. nicksaviking
    Yeah, that's what they want now, but it's super short sighted. Half the league is struggling with 21st Century TV and marketing situations, and now they're going to throw two more bottom tier markets into the mix? Yeah, great call MLB. Those new markets will be shiny and fresh for their local fans for 5-10 years than will be hanging out at the bottom of the food chain with the Pirates and Marlins. But that's pro sports owners for you. Bleed as much cash out of it as you can now and don't worry about the future.
  17. nicksaviking
    Thinking about this more, if we truly should expect new owners by opening day (I'm still skeptical), cutting back on payroll can't be a good sign. Why would the Pohlad's care if they're done writing checks come March? If payroll is being cut, wouldn't it be to appease the new owners? To be clear, moving Vazquez or Paddack could be done for goals OTHER than trimming payroll, but if they are moved, we probably need to wait before we start hailing our new masters.

    *****Moderator Note***** This discussion is starting to stray far from the topic. Let's get back to it.

    ****Moderator Note**** Stay on topic and stay away from making posts personal.

    I certainly didn't mean to be dismissive about the situation. I'm just suggesting that this specific type of trauma and anxiety probably impacts this specific type of person less than it would most of us.
  21. nicksaviking
    I think it's going to be Jaxson Dart. Looking at him more, I don't know why he isn't the one getting hyped. He's got the best completion percentage AND the highest yards per attempt, air yards and yards per completion in the SEC. And while he's no Jayden Daniels, he can make plays with his feet too. Way better than Ward and Sanders. And Ole Miss has been 10-3 and 11-2 the last two years. !Ole Miss! They've NEVER been this good.
  22. nicksaviking
    I'm sure billionaires are good at keeping things quiet when it benefits them. And of course good about leaking stuff when that benefits them as well. Really, I think we were in the dark and they've been readying for this sale for an entire year. I'd bet good money that the 'right-sizing' payroll freeze last offseason was a reaction to the Pohlad's decision to sell, we just didn't know about it then.
  23. nicksaviking
    New-ish stadium and a top 20 market in the country; MLB won't let them move any time soon. They need to save the threat of relocation for teams that want a new stadium, and the Twins are 28th in that line currently.
  24. nicksaviking
    With how hard Boston has been pushing to trade Casas, every other GM in the league should read the tea leaves. No interest in a soon-to-be-full time DH.
  25. nicksaviking
    I think they'll be OK. At least better than the average Joe who's going to go into a reminiscence depression when they hear the diner they've been eating at since they were ten burned down. These are definitely their 'homes' but NFL players are pretty nomadic. I think as long as their families got out, they'll handle it in stride. And we'd have heard about it if their families didn't get out.
