I was going to complete this last night before I went to bed, but I got so tired I was like, "I need to sleep." Now I'm up but I need to go to work, so I'm just going to finish this. Anything I wanted to write for this Week's survey I'll try and put in next Week's survey ... if I remember.
#-1: Timberwolves (Re-Entry!). Their commitment to Defense remains spotty. The started the second half of their season beating the Cooper Flag-less Dallas Mavericks at home, then get beat by an execrable Philadelphia club (also at The Target Center), before going to Portland and getting by an ascending Trail Blazers squad by three. In Tuesday night's Game, Jade McDaniels went off for 29 Points. That's great, but he remains an X-factor. He needs to pop off more consistently for the T-Wolves to have a chance at winning the whole thing.
They finish a three-Game road trip at The Bastard Buffalo Braves and Denver before returning home to play The Bastard Vancouver Grizzlies.
#-2: Gopher baseball (Last Week: -1). I was at last/Wednesday night's Game versus Kansas, the opener of a four-Game, five-Day series being held at U. S. Bank Stadium. (It's also the reason I was so tired.) I have never seen the ball fly out of a ballpark in a college baseball Game like I did last/Wednesday night. The two teams combined for seven Home Runs, the last of which was blasted by the Gophers' Easton Richter to make the score 8-7. Minnesota got the tying Run at Second Base, but the Game ended on a grounder to Shortstop, and they lost.
But they're up here in the WMNSS because they swept both Games of a two-Game set with Northeastern down in Ft. Myers, Fla., by a combined score of 27-7. They'll try and bounce back this weekend against the Jayhawks, then invite Wisconsin-Milwaukee to town for a two-Game series Tuesday and Wednesday, also at the Vikings' stadium.
#-3: United FC (NEW SEASON!!). See, if I wasn't so tired, I would expound here with a preview of the season. It should be this way, but I don't have the time, so I'll try and give an overview next Week. In the meantime, I'll just say that since Kelvin Yeboah scored a header off of a nice Cross from Devin Padelford (who was feed by a nice cross-field long ball by Julian Gressel), this 2-2 Draw at Austin feels more like a Win than a Loss, so that's why they're up here. Can't wait to attend the home opener vs. FC Cincinnati Saturday. Not looking forward to the below-freezing temperature.
#-4: Gopher men's basketball (Last Week: -3). Routed Rutgers at The Barn 80-61, then kept it honorably close at third-ranked Michigan, losing 77-67. Eh, whatcha gonna do? This Week: Host UCLA, visit Indiana.
#-5: Gopher softball (Last Week: -2). They hosted a tournament at U. S. Bank Stadium too, the Gopher Indoor Classic. Unfortunately, they were way too generous as hosts, going 2-3, splitting two Games against Central Michigan, beating Long Island, and losing to Iowa St. and North Dakota St. They play a one-off at for-profit Grand Canyon, then participate in the final non-conference tournament they have over the weekend, the Hillenbrand Invitational in Tucson, Ariz., where they will sandwich two Games against Howard with contests with host Arizona and Long Beach St.
#-6: Gopher women's basketball (Last Week: Positive Numbers). Only one Game this screening Week, but it was a defeat at Williams to Michigan St., a team only several spots ahead of the Gophers in the polls, by 14. Would've been nice to grab a Win, but no big worries are coming from this. They are still in contention for a Top-4 Seed and the right to host Games at The Barn. Keep your eyes on the prize as this team finishes up their regular season at Illinois Sunday afternoon.
#-7: Gopher women's hockey (Last Week: -5). I'm supposed to take these underachievers seriously? I have to regard these players as members of a blue blood when they get swept at home (yes, both Losses were in Overtime, but what's the fucking difference?) to Minnesota-Duluth? Fuck this team. I don't give a fuck that they're hosting St. Cloud St. for the First Round of The WCHA Tournament?
#-Infinity: Wild (Re-Entry!). How do you piss away all the goodwill you got when you scored the gold medal-winning Goal in the Winter Olympics? By immediately turning into a bunch of thirsty fuckboys!
The Wild lead the NHL in number of players on Team USA with three: Quinn Hughes, Matt Boldy, and Brock Faber. All three apparently partied it up with the googly-eyed hack installed as FBI Director who decided not to do his job and instead flew a jet, on taxpayer dime, to Italy to act like a frat boy dick. And then the fat, corrupt ass installed as President invited them to make him look good at the State of the Union.
These stupid, stupid bastards. What they did since Sunday isn't about national pride and unity, and it isn't even about having the time of your life. It's about normalizing the most corrupt, dirtiest man ever installed as President -- and who, oh by the way, probably raped kics. (And he cheated to win both of his elections, too; I won't let anybody forget that.) And he is a user who does everything to benefit his wallet, his ego, or his penis. He probably doesn't even know how to properly pronounce "hockey." He just knows that this team won, they're winners, and he associates with winners to make him look good. And Hughes, Boldy and Faber willingly did that for him.
Twenty players on the team volunteered to be political props went to Washington for the State of the Union. There are five who did not: Kyle Connor, Jackson LaCombe, Jake Guentzel, Jake Oettinger, and Brock Nelson. I'll take what I'll say back if I get more information about them, but for right now, these guys are heroes for refusing to let Trump wipe his ass with their medals. I'll be rooting for these guys and the teams they're on (and that really sucks for me because Oettinger is Goalie #1 for The Bastard North Stars, and now I have to root for those assholes?!) and, as disbelieving I am to say this, I'll be rooting the Mild to lose. After what that MAGAt son-of-a-bitch did to our communities and the people who live alongside us, these motherfuckers cozy up to him? And General Manager Bill Guerin invited Kash Patel into the locker room after the Game??? Fuck the Wild. They have a stupid fucking name, they won't take back North Stars, and now they've decided they are Team MAGAt. Goddamn all of them. They deserve to rot at the bottom of this Week's survey.
