We’re running a little behind today, so we’ll start this off simple and obvious: even though the Gophers came up short last night, it was plenty of fun to see Williams Arena loud and effective once again. It brings us to two questions: 1) When times are good, what is the best place in the Twin Cities to watch a game in terms of fan experience and pandemonium level? Your top choices, in our mind: Williams Arena, Mariucci Arena, Xcel Energy Center, Metrodome and, um, maybe Target Center (hey, we were there for Game 7 of the 2004 Western Conference semis, and it was LOUD). 2) When times are good, where does U of M men’s basketball rank in the overall local sports pecking order? In the Monson years, they could arguably fall as low as 6th or 7th. Tubby Smith has already brought them back to a certain degree. Where are they now, and how high can they go?

Also: DMX thinks you will enjoy this. We know that we did. Anytime a Boise State cheerleader purposely knocks another cheerleader into a big vat of balls, we’re going to be amused. That was actually Pythagoras’ other theorem, and it’s just as true as the triangle thing.

Fasola-link! He gave us three to choose from. We’re storing them up like nuts in the winter (which we’ll need after walking outside this morning. Sweet mercy).
