- This so amazing. Fans and teams waving to kids in Children's hospital behind stadium. P.J. Fleck brought his entire team on field to wave.
00:00 - Doing random survey here: Raise hand if you switched from cable to streaming option and no longer get FSN.
- Sam Darnold is going to get a lot of heat, deservedly so, but this is a major failure by everyone on offense, starting with the head coach/play caller. Just a dreadful showing all the way around.
- People are really criticizing how the Wolves celebrated? After that win, with the emotion in the building, knowing their history?! I say celebrate the hell out of that win and enjoy the moment.
- This is my mom and dad dancing at my wedding. My mom joined my dad in heaven early this morning. As heartbroken as I am, I take comfort knowing they can dance together again.
- Before and after. I've covered college football a long time and today was one of the most memorable days.
- Blair Walsh took all blame for his missed kick, said repeatedly that he let team down. Walsh broke down crying as teammates consoled him
- The comments coming from Vikings players today are not very flattering of Zimmer's approach. When a star player such as Eric Kendricks says "I don't think a fear-based organization is the way to go" -- there clearly were real problems behind the scenes.
- This is J.J. McCarthy at his first NFL game. He was 4 years old. The Bears hosted the Vikings that day. Monday night will be a full circle moment for McCarthy and his family.
- Unbelievable. Gophers win 68-65. What a big time win for Ben Johnson and his players considering they were without 3 of their top 4 scorers and severely depleted. Johnson is building something here folks. You can see it in the way his team plays.
- P.J. Fleck has had his best coaching performance to have his team this prepared and ready to play at their best after being knocked out of West contention yesterday. He deserves a ton of praise for this performance.
- True story: a week after Leslie Frazier was fired here in '13, he came back to town and went to dinner with writers who covered team every day to dinner. All off the record. It was a gracious and cool gesture a week after he was fired ....
