Today is the day.

Today is signing day for high schoolers and that means 6'8" 330 lb Seantrel Henderson will make his college choice by writing his name on the dotted line. The Golden Gophers are rumored to actually have a chance at landing the huge dude who just happens to be the highest rated offensive lineman in the country. And oh yeah...he played his high school ball at Cretin.

If Tim Brewster gets Henderson to sign with Minnesota, we will lay off Coach Brew for a while because a guy like Henderson is wanted by just about every premier program in the nation. You said you could recruit Coach, and if you get Henderson we will believe you. He's an in state product and you told us that guys like him were going to be a priority for you. Prove it.

So many questions...

We wish we had the real story about why Royce White is leaving the U of M . We honestly don’t have a clue. He’s had trouble with the law and he’s scared for his safety…that’s what we know for sure. Um…okay. That’s it? Like we said, we don’t know what is really going on and how deep the story runs…so…yeah. We don’t know.

What we do know is that we tried to watch some of the Gophers vs. Ohio State game yesterday and it made us sick to think that Tubby Smith could use a player (several players) like White on this team. The offense is almost as anemic as the Gopher football offense and yesterday Tubby’s Titans gave up 85 points – that’s the highest total since he arrived on campus three years ago. The Gophers aren’t going to make the NCAA tournament again this year and if anybody other than Tubby Smith coached this team…we are pretty sure there would be some people crying for a new coach to come in here and turn the program around.

Making ourselves whole again.

That guy right there is Jim Thome. The picture was taken back in 1991. He doesn't really look like that now -- none of us look like we did in 1991 -- but Thome can still hit on occasion and he's going to be a solid influence in what is already considered to be one of the most stable clubhouses in all of baseball. We really needed some good news yesterday and the Twins gave it to us by signing Thome. One of our favorite ball players of the last fifteen years is gonna be a Twin and that will help us begin the process of mending our broken hearts because the Vikings couldn't get out of their own way and get to the Super Bowl.
