It was a strangely quiet October night in local college and pro sports on Thursday, and Friday isn't much noisier.
Saturday, though, will put your sports endurance — and the positive energy generated among our major teams lately — to the test.
The Gophers football team has won two consecutive games. The Wild started the year 3-0. The Wolves won their opener Wednesday. Minnesota United has a two-game winning streak.
All four of them will put those unblemished runs on the line Saturday. And all four of them will do so with home games that all start within a 4.
