PODCAST Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network joins the show off a close loss to Phoenix last night. omny.fm/shows/the-br...

Happy "My World Juniors Credential Was Approved" Day to all who celebrate.

Jalen Hurts always looks like he's trying to read a language he doesn't understand.

Hold up. I go take a shower and Phil is back? Sign me up.

As if the Teddy Bear Toss wasn't enough reason to attend Friday's UMD-Arizona State game, here's another: Unless multiple people have the math wrong, Friday is Scott Sandelin's 1000th game as UMD head coach.

PODCAST @mattwellens.bsky.social talks Packers-Bears, then Bulldog hockey. UMD athletic director Forrest Karr drops by and answers your questions (and some of mine). omny.fm/shows/the-br...

UMD FANS Athletic director Forrest Karr is in studio with me at 10:35. If you've got questions you want asked, please leave them here. Sorry for the short notice, I'm an idiot and didn't solicit questions last week.

I wonder if people respect how hard it is to execute that play. The pass has to be perfect, and Eichel has to be able to make a move on Quick while moving basically full speed, likely with a grown adult draped all over him (or trying to hook him lol).

Great set play by Vegas to win at the death of overtime, basically. Faceoff win, Eichel went for broke.

Mike Sullivan is HOT on the Rangers bench after Chris Lee decided to insert himself into a quality hockey game and help set up Vegas with an advantageous situation to tie the score.

Can anyone confirm if Matt Hasselbeck was Ben Johnson's favorite QB growing up? (Let's see if anyone picks up on this.)

Today's Packers win opens the door for what has to be a fever dream scenario for NBC. Week 18, Lions at Bears for a playoff spot.

$2.75 million per year plus escalators. 😉

Baseball, everyone.

REDEMPTION

Helps when the linemen can hold with impunity.

My kingdom for one freaking hold to be called. He's the best defensive player in the game. Embarrassing from this league, every week.

A healthy Christian Watson is such a problem.

Ball don't effing lie.

Boom.

Thanks for the replay that showed nothing, followed by the cut to commercial. This can't be that difficult.

That's either an incomplete pass or Packers ball, so it's probably a first down for the Bears.

Then stop playing division-centric schedules. Emphasizing division play and then not rewarding the champions is silly. (I'm not disagreeing with the premise, to be fair. I just hate the idea of making teams play six division games without rewarding the division winners.)

What a shitshow. Year two of the 12 team playoff and this committee has already done a worse job than any basketball committee ever.

Hello, Duluth. It's colder than a banker's heart.

Minny, hello.

Nothing says "Pure Michigan" like an airport being at a standstill over an inch of snow. Can't get back to Minny quick enough.

Hello from GRR. Sitting at the gate, still marveling at the fact that UMD and WMU combined for three shot attempts in the last 9:31 of regulation time. Two whistles in the last 8:08.

I'll stand by this, but it was still a good game and a strong effort from the visitors. They didn't play a tough overtime because it was Saturday. They went blow for blow with a good team and got a point.

The conference title games are only relevant when convenient, as Florida State can attest.

Not a good OT for UMD at all. Spoiled a pretty good 120-minute effort to an extent.

Whitelaw wins it

According to the live stats, we went the last 8:08 without a shot on goal for either team.

OT

6:28 3rd, 2-2. Shots are the same as they were 100 seconds ago.

Western Michigan challenges for a major on UMD, probably Pierce hitting Sharp on the end wall.

8:08 3rd, 2-2. Shots 26-20 WMU.

Sharp, 2-2

2-1 UMD after dos. Shots 20-16 Western. Tough start to the period, but shots end up 8-7 Western for the period. We'll see if the Dogs can close this out.

Arnott, 2-1

6:40 2nd, 1-1. Shots 19-14 WMU.

I think it broke his mask.

12:58 2nd, 1-1. Shots 15-10 WMU. Broncos have absolutely upped their level tonight. UMD needs to respond.

Whitelaw, 1-1

GAJAN'S ON

1-0 UMD after one. Shots 12-9 WMU. No save this weekend (so far) better than the one Gajan just pulled off on Cowan. Holy smokes.
