@StarTribune Stepping up risks another injury.

Neal: Royce Lewis has to step up for Twins startribune.com/lavelle-neal-c…

@SeifertESPN JJ will get another chance at starting with this team. Maybe this year, maybe next year. It’s up to him at that point.

The Vikings have provided more clarity about their QB plans than you might realize. Here, I tried to illustrate a clear and accurate narrative of the past 10 weeks, using what Kevin O'Connell and Rob Brzezinski have said about it publicly. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@XUCoachPitino @Gaardsy This is high level, competitive stuff….

@theappleMN @RussoHockey Mad? Why would I be mad? I’m not the idiot that hasn’t noticed that elite college rosters are adding older, late blooming, tougher players through NIL and the the transfer portal and that it’s gonna get more prevalent with major juniors from Canada now eligible, ya tool box.

@kessler_mark @RussoHockey Little guy getting mad. Settle down sport. Just take your L and move on

Former Gophers captain Brock Faber on Brett Larson, who coached him at the 2022 Olympics: "I think he’s the perfect guy. He’ll be a great, great coach for the Gophers. You see, the game changes a lot. He’s a smart coach. I think he teaches the game the right way. He thinks it’s important to develop these kids the right way to give them opportunities to play in the NHL. He’s one of those guys that cares more about the people than the player. That’s what’s special about him. He’s going to do great. That’s an awesome hire for them.”

@Kramer9Tommy Everyone gets a kick out of his famous press conference, as they should, but the end where he states his loyalty to Bob Schnelker is really cool. Then he quietly called the fans that booed him “fuckers”. The best. There’s an 87% chance he’d be fired for that today.

Moments like these meant everything!

@StarTribune Great. Does that mean the rednecks are gonna start paying for their own schools and infrastructure instead of stealing our taxes?

@arkadovich @StarTribune Don’t knock it till ya try it. Taking a dump is now a delightful experience. Never too hard, never too runny and never more than a couple wipes, even after a night of cheap beer and bar food. It’s awesome!!

@StarTribune Pass the Metamucil

@RussoHockey @nytimes Delusional Gopher fans melting down over this hire is so on point.

@theappleMN @RussoHockey Some, yes. Not all. It’s what wins now. Maybe pay attention, idiot.

@kessler_mark @RussoHockey You would rather have four year pluggers that played two years in juniors instead of the top talent that will leave in 1-2 years? Lol. Ok.

@IHelpuinsure @Ya_boy_Rabbit @RussoHockey He’s the last word? Lol. He talked about making sure NHL draft picks got ready for the big league. I want older, meaner guys whose peak in hockey would be winning the NCAA. Not young “stars” who consider college a stepping stone for something bigger. We need way more grinders.

@Ya_boy_Rabbit @RussoHockey You missed Brock Faber's quote.

Brett Larson is now official

@theappleMN @RussoHockey I’m aware. Way to COMPLETELY miss the point. Lol.

@kessler_mark @RussoHockey Ummmm kids will go where the best opportunity for them to get to the show is. Sorry to break this to you.

@MNState0fHockey @RussoHockey @nytimes Lol. Is it a secret?

@kessler_mark @RussoHockey @nytimes I have a few I’d love for them to go after, but at this point I’d prefer them not looking at guys I feel have no business even being head coaches.

Latest on University of Minnesota coaching search as top candidates emerge, including Brett Larson nytimes.com/athletic/71422… via @NYTimes

@J_Ppuck @jimfrank5467 @Greeeeease @RussoHockey @AlexMicheletti @nytimes It was. Not sure that’s true today.

@jimfrank5467 @Greeeeease @RussoHockey @AlexMicheletti @nytimes Yes, it's a top 5 HC job in college hockey

University of Minnesota hiring Brett Larson to coach men’s hockey team: Sources nytimes.com/athletic/artic… via @NYTimes

@MNState0fHockey @RussoHockey @nytimes Since you seem to know better, I’m sure you have a list of realistic candidates they should be going after.

@RussoHockey @nytimes Absolutely demoralizing as a lifelong Gopher hockey fan. Never thought I’d see this program scrounge the trash heap for bargain coaching. Shame on the UMN alumni who spent far more time and effort lobbying for better candidates during UW’s last search. We see you.

@gbuyers84 @CuriosityonX The plan is to do both. It will take that long just to clean up the plastic that’s already in the ocean.

@CuriosityonX I don’t understand this at all - what is the cost and fuel burn of that huge anchor handling vessel being used? Surely more effective / impactful to try and capture garbage at the source (several rivers mainly in Asia and Africa)

This is incredible. This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic. It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

@Gaardsy No, but building a team where there’s enough respect and love to call each other 25 years later can go a long way to bringing the wins that in turn bring the $25 million.

Yes for sure. This is exactly right. That’s the reward of coaching. But you’re not getting millions for phone calls in 25 years.

@JoeCStrib @SeifertESPN @JimPaulsen @StribVarsity Goldsworthy doubling down on nonsense. People seem to be incapable of self awareness or regret. When did the phrase “I made a mistake” become impossible to say?

Great story from @JimPaulsen catching up with Minnetonka and Hibbing hockey coaches on how they handled the aftermath of devastating championship game losses, both in overtime. @StribVarsity varsity.startribune.com/coaches-of-min…
