  • Curt Schilling questions character of Kirby Puckett in Hall of Fame rant
    Kirby Puckett has had his dirty laundry aired in public (at least in the media) on multiple occasions, perhaps most notably in this 2003 Sports Illustrated piece, three years before his early death. It is a part of the Puckett story that most Twins fans either honestly don’t know about or choose to forget about — or, at the most, gloss over when thinking about the baseball hero.

  • Mines football coach Pete Sterbick resigns, Yon Boone named interim coach
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 01/21/2025 - 03:52 PM

    A Golden opportunity just opened up with the Colorado School of Mines football program. Again. For the second time in three years, the Orediggers are looking for a new head football coach. Pete Sterbick, who just completed his second season at the helm, resigned his position, the university announced Tuesday. Special teams coach Yon Boone will serve as Mines’ interim coach, the school said in a news release, while continuing a search for Sterbick’s replacement. Several outlets reported Tuesday that Sterbick will join Montana State, the reigning FCS runners-up, as offensive coordinator. Sterbick posted a 22-4 record in two seasons as Mines coach and led the Orediggers to a school-record 14 wins and a berth in the Division II national championship game in December 2023. “I have loved being at Mines for the past six years, this is truly an incredible place,” Sterbick said via a university news release.
