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: 🟣/🟣/⚪️

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

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 🎸

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

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

The Minnesota Wild and Timberwolves both qualified for the 2025 playoffs. This is just the FIFTH time that both teams have qualified for the playoffs in the same season:
▪️2002-03
▪️2017-18
▪️2021-22
▪️2022-23
▪️2024-25

Meanwhile, back in Michigan😢

Fourteen years ago today, the UMD Bulldogs scored in overtime to defeat the Michigan Wolverines in Saint Paul. It was the first NCAA hockey championship for the UMD men and the first of what would end up being 3 titles in 9 years for #BulldogCountry

The first time UMD hosted Denver in Duluth was Jan. 24, 1966. Since then, these teams have played WCHA and NCHC conference and playoff games, a Frozen Four semifinal, an NCAA championship game, and everything in between. Games 231 and 232 are this weekend in Duluth.

.@umdmenshockey.bsky.social will honor Adam Johnson on Saturday night. Let's flash back to March 25, 2017 when he scored the game-winning goal in overtime to defeat Boston University 3-2 and propel the Bulldogs to the Frozen Four. In this moment he became an instant legend in #BulldogCountry
