    How concerned should we be about the offense?

    While I'm certainly loving the results the team has been having is the success sustainable with how little output the offensive side of the ball is producing? Only averaged 335 yards per game during conference play.

    Good First Beers

    I have a friend never had alcohol in his life who's turning 21 in about a month and I'm looking some suggestions that will help me pick something good. He's shown no great desire to drink going forward but is willing to give it a try so I want to give him something he'd enjoy. At this point I...

    Gardenhire era at an end in Minnesota

    Just saw this on twitter a bit ago from the Star Tribune's LaVelle Neal. "Holy moly, the entire coaching staff is not being brought back!" https://twitter.com/LaVelleNeal/status/516638869324722176

    Top Video Games of 2012

    The all time best list got me thinking about the games that consumed my life last year. My tops were: Crusader Kings II- Have 254 hours in on this game according to Steam, most of that coming in a span of 3 months or so. Black Ops II- Love Transit, dislike some of the MP tweaks. Chivalry- First...

    Twins fire much of coaching staff

    Gardy and Anderson stay. Everyone else is out. Scuttlebutt is that the crew from Rochester this year is on the way up: Tom Burnansky(hitting), Bobby Cuellar(pitching), Gene Glynn(3B?). Sounds like Paul Molitor might be the bench coach.

    Feedback: "Dead" Space

    Can I just say I'm not a huge fan of the fixed format size of the website. While it looks great on my laptop, using my higher resolution desktop monitor and having nearly half the screen taken up with just "dead" white space is irritating. I believe the old website wasn't this way(or had a wider...

    Possible Winter Storm: 2/27-2/28

    I mentioned the possibility of this storm in the last weather thread. It proceeded to trend south on the models but over the past day they have shifted northwards on every run. Normally I would wait a little longer because Des Moines is on the northern fringe but feel with the limited amount...

    Winterstorm: 2/7-2/9

    Another storm heading our way, this one should be more impressive than the last, at least in eastern Iowa. 4-8 inch marks, locally higher east of I-35 look to be what the models are pointing at. West of I35 things are a bit more dicey just depends on where the snow sets up.
