Ravens threads.

Vikings threads.

Purple Bowl VIII

The two purple NFL teams will square off this weekend for just the 8th time. And we will see a NEW uniform color combination that has yet to be worn on the football field - the 6th unique color combo in 8 MIN/BAL games:

#RavensFlock: ⚫️/⚪️/🟣
#SKOL: 🟣/🟣/⚪️

When the teams met in January 1995 the Black Bears were #1 in the country. It was the first time Maine traveled to Amherst. The result was a split series

I think I just heard “Can I Borrow a Feeling?”

Most Kings Were Inbred.

Sir Paul McCartney put on a great show last night in Minneapolis. I have to say, a 2.5 hour set for an 83-year old is impressive 🎸

I’ve worked downtown for 20 years and once lived in Kenwood for nearly a decade and I think I’ve driven down that street maybe a handful of times

The last St. Thomas men’s hockey home game until the Tommies open the new on campus arena

I was at this game in 2013 (as I took this photo then.) I remember a Gophers player had a breakaway at the end of OT and you could tell that place was on the verge of exploding as he was driving to the net.

That’s got to be the most painful loss to the Falcons in the history of the Minnesota Vikings franchise

The Seattle Kraken introduced a black alt. While I’m usually against a navy team introducing an alternate black uniform, I really like this

This was a special one for me to write because my Grandpa was a senior on this 1945-46 Minneapolis Central High School hockey team🥹

Hockey Valley in Beaver Stadium: January 31, 2026.

Beaver Stadium will host two #CollegeHockey games on Jan. 31:
▪️Women’s: Penn State vs Robert Morris
▪️Men’s: Penn State vs Michigan State

Several outdoor firsts:
▪️First-ever outdoor game at stadium
▪️First-ever outdoor game for both Penn State and RMU women’s hockey

I can’t believe Delaware launched a D1 women’s hockey program before Michigan did.

I was NOT a fan of the Braves as a kid because of the 1991 World Series but I had this exact card up on the bulletin board in my room for years

It's Saturday and it's a scorcher outside. So why not stay inside to read the entire history of college hockey?😏

If you don't have 3 hours of time to read it in its entirety today, there are jump links to take you to specific eras and decades:

USA versus Switzerland today

Team USA is looking to win gold at the #MensWorlds for the first time since 1933. The U.S. team in the 1933 tournament was represented by the Massachusetts Rangers amateur team. There were 10 players on the roster for the gold medal-winning team and 9 were college hockey alums.

FROST WIN IN 3OT

An exciting NCAA hockey season is in the books. Read about it from an historical standpoint through College Hockey History's 2024-25 season recap.

People were speculating new sweaters for St. Thomas after the teaser from the school yesterday (myself included). As of today, no new sweaters announced but for what it’s worth, I don’t think St. Thomas needs new sweaters. Their uniforms are sharp. Maybe an alternate but that’s it in my opinion

Union Garnet Chargers logo

Random Thoughts: wondering if Union hockey will introduce new sweaters that will include the current logo? It would coincide with the opening of a new arena so it makes sense to start anew
