Minnesota Fans Find Themselves Defending More Than Their Minnesota Pride; Fight For Own Lives. It seems Minnesota fans have found it necessary to defend more than just the occasionally inept performances of their our beloved teams. Recently, three fans had to fight for their protection and, in one instance, his life.
Vikings Coach Leslie Frazier pulled out an impressive gameplan, especially on the defensive end, to pull out a victory Tuesday night over the Eagles. Is it enough to get him the job for 2011? Not yet. We can’t say we’re surprised. We expect the Wilfs to be extremely deliberate and thoughtful throughout this process. A quick unexpected hiring, like we saw 5 years ago with Childress, is unlikely in our minds. ESPN North blogger Kevin Seifert believes it may well be because Frazier is not the Wilf’s choice for head coach. Maybe they will look elsewhere and cleanse the...
Just days after wondering whether Kevin Love and the NBA would be better off if the Wolves were no longer around, LeBron James is now saying his words were twisted by the media. TC Huddle blogger Joe Buri has verbalized how ridiculous he thinks this is of LeBron. If you’re lucky, he may go beyond a tavern-rant and share those thoughts with you as well. In the meantime, you can listen to how Nets guard Devin Harris was offended by James’ comments.
It doesn’t appear that it’s just the NHL players that are taunting each other anymore. The fans are getting involved too. The Pioneer Press’ Bruce Brothers reports that the Wild coach and players are tired of being booed at home. The most recent incident was the day after Christmas when the boo birds that didn’t migrate south for the winter came out as early as the second period against the Red Wings.
There are plenty of holes to fill right now on the Gophers basketball team, but we have to say, we were impressed with the Gophers last night. Yes, the offense was horribly stagnant at times, Devoe Joseph had more than a handful of errant shots, and one defensive rebound in the final 30 seconds could have change their fate, but we appreciated the performance put forth in the Gophers 8 point loss in Madison.
We can already hear the clamoring for Joe Webb to be the Vikings QB in 2011. We’re not driving that bandwagon just yet, but after Webb’s extremely composed performance on Tuesday night, we are intrigued by this possibility. The 6’4″ 220 pound athletic kid from Birmingham put on a nice show for the nation. Sure he had a number of errant passes, but the guy drafted at Tom Brady’s 199th spot did not look like a kid in his first start ever. To say the least, we were impressed. If he performs admirably next week against the Lions, we’re...
TC Huddle would like to send its thoughts and prayers out to former Twin Marty Cordova and his family. Cordova’s daughter, Ashely McAdam, was a passenger of a vehicle driving to school at Herriman High in the suburbs of Salt Lake City when she was hit by a truck.
