  1. So long as he keeps doing the work of Big Sugar, and chairing the House Ag Committee, he's not going down. Here's a long profile from Minnpost last month about his complicated relationship with the sugar beet industry and other sectors of Big Sugar. https://www.minnpost.com/national/2019/08/sweet-deal-sugar-industry-organizes-new-super-pac-to-re-elect-collin-peterson/
  2. The one decent drive the Falcons have had ended with a Matt Ryan interception in the end zone.
  3. Will someone tell me where all the love for the Packers is coming from? Rodgers isn't that good, that roster needed to be torn down and rebuilt two years ago, and As a mildly interested Vikings observer I feel better about their chances in the North, especially after that gong show in Chicago last night.
  4. Colorado +3.5 at home vs. Nebraska? I think the Buffs could win this outright, and so do the sharps. This opened at +7.5 and has already moved this far. Clemson -17.5 vs. aggy. Poor aggy. Cincy +9.5 @ Ohio State First half. Bearcats have hung around for a half in this game before. Plus I'm still not sold on Ohio State
  5. That is correct. Mostly from western Minnesota, though. Being afraid of the big city is a real thing in areas that are a long ways from the Twin Cities.
  6. Joel Maturi (Minnesota AD in the early 2000s) also loved booking the Dakota schools. Between us, I think we bankrolled the transitions of all the Dakota schools to 1-AA. Like you, I don't ever want to see any of the Dakota schools on our schedule ever again. I remember the first game vs.. NDSU in 2006 at the Humpty Dump. There was so much green and gold that it felt like Lambeau Field. As for the game last night, it lacked any aesthetic niceties, but a win is a win.
  7. Does anyone gather any idea what the Democrat bench in Georgia looks like? Sure the pressure play looks good but they need good candidates other than Abrams.
  8. Former right-wing talk radio shock jock Jason Lewis officially declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination to take on Tina Smith in 2020. This is Al Franken's old seat. In other news, Tina Smith was instantly heavily favored to win a full term.
  9. MN ain't Beto country. That probably represents the donors that are keeping Klobuchar's campaign going.
  10. Subscribing. So the Mrs. and I will be in Italy for two weeks over Christmas this upcoming winter. Our plan is Christmas in Rome, and a couple days in Venice sometime in the, but otherwise we're fairly open to suggestions.
  11. Doug Jones needs Roy Moore on the ballot to keep Bama from being an auto-loss. It's really hard to knock out an incumbent from the Senate, but the incumbent hasn't held onto Tillis' seat in North Carolina since Jesse Helms' last reelection in 1996. Since then, it's flipped every time it has come up (02, 08, and 14). Of the four dogfights you mentioned, the likelihood of flipping probably goes NC, IA, a large gap, GA, TX, and the rest. NC for the reasons I mentioned above. If the Senate is tied to the White House, Trump is under water by double digits in Iowa and Ernst hasn't done a thing to separate herself from him. There are also two more seasons of farmers getting trounced between now and then. The large gap is there because Texas and Georgia are lottery tickets, along with the insurrection campaigns against Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey. However, if either of those two are sweating out a photo finish, the GOP has already lost control of the chamber and is having a bad night across the board. The race where the presidential hopeful needs to get out and get into the Senate race isn't Colorado, it's Montana. Steve Bullock could single-handedly move this one from lost-cause to lottery ticket.
  12. Twinkies are doing a brilliant job of proving that you can't play baseball with both hands wrapped firmly around your neck...
  13. Tories lost a Commons seat yesterday in a special election in Wales. Boris' working majority is now at one. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49204174
  14. The only time I've ever felt like I was going to get shot was in some rat hole on the east side of Columbus, Ohio that I don't remember the name of. Turns out the joint was very close to the nightclub where Dime Bag Darrell was shot on stage, so there you go.
  15. No-contest. Fight didn't go four rounds.
  16. Good. Sports wagering will only be an hour and a half away now. This will be going nowhere anytime soon in Minnesota. The tribes that gave casinos want it exclusively, but an expansion of gaming requires renegotiating their compacts. Since the status quo is quite profitable for them, it makes no sense for them to change.
  17. Add Douglas County in the far northwest to the blue column, and that's pretty accurate. There's a blatant MAGA believer who owns a farm on I-94 right over the border by Hudson that isn't afraid to tell all passersby that he's all in on Trump. The GOP really gerrymandered their Legislature after their 2010 sweep, such that a statewide Dem majority vote yielded the GOP 64 of 100 seats in the Assembly.
  18. Is this Jerry Nadler taking over questioning?
  19. SOCIALISTS!!!!!!!
  20. Mueller doesn't sound super sharp. Who is asking the question about the DOJ policy?
  21. Is 730 AM CDT the real start time for this tomorrow?
  22. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/apollo-11-moon-launch-memorable-moments-cbs-news-coverage-50-years-ago-today-2019-07-16-live-stream/ CBS News is livestreaming their programming from 50 years ago today. Launch goes a little after 8:30 AM CDT. Ramjet has the comm...
  23. From what I've seen, I'm not too worried about Colorado. Sure Hickenlooper has the name recognition, but the Democrat bench seems to be solid enough that a quality candidate will face Gardner. Not sure if PredictIt has put up contracts yet on the Senate, but McGrath seems like a good one to take a flier on at 10 to 15 cents. But everything in Kentucky depends on their governor's race in the fall. If the incumbent comes back, forget it. As for the others, remember that there's a long way to go and the presidential field is going to shrink considerably by Halloween. So there is hope yet in Montana.
