We need a pin explaining what we're about. So, hi!
We're four friends who met through U of Minnesota sports fandom.
Turns out we also have a shared interest in sports outside of the Big 4 (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL), especially sports not common in the US. We think they're great and want to share them.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

We’ve been pretty quiet lately due to work, personal lives, and the unwanted occupation of our state by militant federal idiots.
But we’re popping in to say fuck the Welsh Rugby Union. Yet another group abdicating its responsibility at the expense of those it’s supposed to represent.

When we were doing Minnesota-Nebraska game retrospectives leading up to The Chair game this year, we read a lot of old sports writing.
It was compelling, artistic writing that sometimes genuinely could be counted as literature! We’ve lost something by the demise of this style.

This is how Keith Jackson opened the ABC broadcast for the Ohio State-Miami national title game.

On this day in 1896, the Montreal Victorias defeated the Winnipeg Victorias 6-5 to win the Stanley Cup. Played at the Granite Rink in Winnipeg, it was the first Stanley Cup challenge game played outside of Montreal. Ernie McLea recorded the first hat trick in Stanley Cup play.

YES!!! We talked about this in the #CFL episode. Without McGill’s visit to Harvard to face the team playing “The Boston Game” there is no American Football as we know it. Well done.

Fantastic. Buck O’Neil was such a treasure.
Satchel Paige once intentionally walked 2 hitters so he could to face Josh Gibson with the Bases Loaded.
Just so Satchel could prove who was the Best, 1 on 1. 🤣
Told by the Buck O’Neil, perhaps the greatest storyteller in baseball history.

HamKam thank you ma’am
Just dropping in to say we’re not dead, just very busy.
Mostly grappling with the fact that there’s a Norwegian soccer club named HamKam.
