  1. Several friends who are/were active duty military are sharing a similar bucket of GOP trash called "The Truth About Tim Walz" attempting to Swift Boat him. Fuck that shit. It would help their case if everyone at the upper reaches of the Minnesota GOP ticket weren't total scumbags.
  2. Play Indiana at Minnesota OVER 54. I just learned that the Gopher defensive coordinator is the same DC that got Fat Bret's seat hot at Piggy. And we haven't held a Big Ten team below 30 in a calendar year.
  3. Is it time to sit Diggs? If so, I can get Carson, AP, and James White into my lineup.
  4. New skipper for the Twinkies is some dude named Rocco Baldelli. Apparently he's the Rays field coordinator, whatever that means. According to the Strib, first manager hire from outside the organization since 1985.
  5. The mood here in MSP during Super Bowl week turned hard on the Eagles after a lot of Vikings fans went to Philly for the NFC Championship Game and had to be escorted out of the stadium for their own protection. I'm not surprised.
  6. Is this thread limited to Texas early voting? Early voting opened last Wednesday in Tennessee, and as of the close of business on Saturday, nearly 400K ballots had been cast, which is only slightly below a presidential election and destroys their previous midterm mark.
  7. All they need to do is follow the worms!
  8. My mistake. Still, 1 win in that stretch does not generate a great deal of confidence. As for the Chiefs, yes they're a damn good ball club. But we've seen a lot of teams like that spectacularly burn out in the playoffs before.
  9. Andy Reid hasn't won a playoff game since 2008 when he was in Philadelphia, and the Chiefs have lost 6 straight playoff games at Arrowhead. Not saying that it can't happen, but pump the brakes a little.
  10. Sometimes, the fact that we're discussing live Senate underdogs in Tennessee and Texas (and potential Democrat control of said chamber despite the map) confuses the fuck out of me.
  11. Hasn't Bredesen had a small but consistent lead, right up until that poll that came out during the Kavanaugh hearings that showed Blackburn up 14? I thought that one was the outlier.
  12. There is a clear difference between millennials and Gen Z. Millennials have a coherent memory of where they were on 9/11. Gen-Z was either not born or too young to remember any of it.
  13. Beto keeping the powder dry for the stretch run?
  14. Local developers are licking their chops to get their hands on the Sears next to the State Capitol in St Paul.
  15. Did the whole thing start as a response to Herbstreit (or someone on the cast) swearing up and down that GameDay would never, ever, EVER go to Pullman, Washington? I seem to think that Ol Crimson showed up as a response to that, to ensure a little bit of WSU would be on every show, until such time that they went to Pullman.
  16. Standard scoring: Matt Ryan, DeShaun Watson, or Dalton?
  17. Baylor and points 1H? Hangover special.
  18. Cool factoid: The first game that Camp Randall Stadium jumped around at the end of the 3rd quarter was the game that then-sophomore Drew Brees went 55 of 83 passing. Both were NCAA records at the time, only recently bested. https://www.camprandall100.com/2017/06/30/camp-randall-100-house-pain/
  19. OU sucks so much we can feel it here in Minneapolis. All this pork will be going on the grill later. Floyd of Rosedale, yo.
  20. He's coming to Rochester, Minnesota tomorrow, and there's no love lost for him there.
  21. There are a couple of ways for the Democrats to get to 51 without Beto, but it either requires the coin to come up heads 3 times out of 5, or the Kavanaugh fiasco to overwhelm Republicans at all levels. IMHO North Dakota is the linchpin to control, not Texas. The last time anyone not named Fox News did polling up there was June. I don't know if anyone has a clue what this race looks like now. The fact that we're even discussing Democrat control of the Senate in 2019 with this awful of a map was crazy talk not that long ago.
  22. Bama now -34.5 at piggy, on the right side of 35 Stay away from Iowa -5.5 at Minnesota. I don't have a clue what to make of this Gopher club, yet Captain Kirk is only 2-3 here since the move to Dinkytown. Wisconsin -20.5/21 vs Nebraska. This hasn't been a close series in Madison, and that was with much better Husker teams than this one.
  23. It's odd to see a game that may have major consequences for the NFC playoff standings both in September and on TNF, but here we are. Then again, if the Vikings secondary can't get their shit together it may not matter.
  24. There are several women in my FB feed who are all-in on the "Leave BK Alone!!!" angle. Incidentally, all are mothers of young daughters. I am disappointed.
  25. Didn't Hatch originally defer his time to the prosecutor?
