No, it's not... but nor is Portland somehow contriving to lose 5-0 at home

Jon Marthaler @jonmarthaler.com · 1d

A late, late goal from Vancouver gives the Whitecaps a 2-1 win in Orlando… and also confirms that #MNUFC cannot win the Western Conference.

If LAFC wins tomorrow, Loons will be unable to finish higher than third, and even that would take a win and San Diego loss on decision day.

Heck of a day to kick off pheasant hunting season in Ortonville! Grateful for this community’s hospitality, top notch guides, and bagging a couple birds.

Keep a camera on Luis Suarez, no telling what he's going to do after that Mariners win

this baseball game is following the hockey overtime arc:

1st overtime (innings 10-11): haha this is amazing, can you believe this drama

2nd overtime (innings 12-13): boy everyone looks tired

3rd overtime+ (innings 14+): for the good of the country I call on this game to end by any means possible

This is definitely the inning where someone ends the game by hitting one over the 600-foot fences in Seattle, every player on both teams should absolutely continue swinging for the fences on every pitch of every at-bat

playoff baseball is great because it's such an amazing excuse to feel like you are having a panic attack for three hours in a row

#MNUFC training report: Kelvin Yeboah was back for a very short session today. At this point, it sounds like the Loons won't try to push him back for the LA Galaxy game next weekend, since it's looking like there won't be much on the line.

This winter, Kentucky WBB commit Maddyn Greenway has a shot at the MSHSL girls basketball scoring record. But first, this week, the Providence Lions senior set another impressive state scoring record — this one, in soccer.

nobody wants to be guilty of Mason Toye erasure, apologies to Mason Toye, who according to Dan is the other 22-under-22 honoree for #MNUFC, besides Nicolás Romero.

Anyway: Go listen to the Loony Bin

Jon! You are guilty of total and complete Mason Toye erasure!

Just a note: best as I can tell, Romero is the first #MNUFC player ever to be named to this yearly list.

Jon Marthaler @jonmarthaler.com · 4d

#MNUFC defender Nicolás Romero is #19 on the league's official "22 under 22" list.

This is also a reminder that Romero, who turns 22 on November 28, is - despite his assured presence on the field - still just 21 years old.

No, no. We love our children even when they make what is objectively the wrong choice.

Also I dunno what Dinkytown Athletes is doing right now but clearly they need to focus up

lock the doors until the team decides to start winning again?

Just shut the Gopher women's hockey program down now. Clearly it's a failed state.

Emily Pohl, hockey state champion at Hill-Murray, commits to Wisconsin | Strib Varsity

Both of her parents, John Pohl and Krissy Wendell-Pohl, represented the Gophers, but junior forward Emily Pohl committed to the reigning national champion Badgers on Monday.

Fewer #MNUFC international call-ups than usual, with Carlos Harvey injured. Dayne St. Clair, Michael Boxall, Robin Lod, and Joseph Rosales have all headed out for international duty.

🇫🇮, 🇭🇳: WC qualifiers
🇳🇿: Friendlies (in Europe)
🇨🇦: Friendlies (in Canada)

Loons are taking a break, off until Fri.
