Called 9 people who played for or coached with Curt Cignetti at Alabama and Kalen DeBoer at Indiana. They shared all kinds of stories: al.com/alabamafootbal…

@JimmyStein_LOB Despite Alabama not being a trendy pick, I still think old habits die hard so my guess is Tide ends up 5.

Mind you, these are not MY predictions for order of finish in the SEC in 2026 but how I think the assembled media will vote this week at SEC Media Days: 1. Texas 2. Georgia 3. Texas A&M 4. LSU 5. Ole Miss 6. Oklahoma 7. Alabama 8. Tennessee

David La Vaque, who passed away today at age 50, had a deep love of family, friends, hockey, sports writing, Springsteen, a certain Tom Cruise movie, hot chocolate and so much more. legacy.hockey/news_article/s…

Terribly saddened with the news that Star Tribune colleague David La Vaque passed away today. He was a good friend and knew Minnesota’s prep sports scene inside and out. He could be gruff, but he was hilarious, a good listener and always a strong shoulder to lean on. He and Loren Nelson combined to write "Tourney Time," the definitive book on the Minnesota Boys State Hockey Tournament with tons of great stories. David was a total pro, a true friend and we’ll miss him dearly.

Incredibly sad and unfair. He was 50. A cruel brain disease ended a life well lived. An important figure in the Minnesota high school sports scene for years at the @StarTribune. A witty, crafty sportswriter. A pro. A mentor. A friend. Godspeed, @David_LaVaque.
