I like him, but not this much…

Is going to SoFi ... gonna change a lot? Sure nicer venue but would they get more revenues or something? College teams playing in NFL venues historically haven't gotten a great deal ...

I'm doubtful about a long term pay to view deal. All indications are that peacock and streaming services locking up sports games are paying MORE than they're making from these deals. The leagues and teams can't resist ... but I'm not sure how long that goes on. Whatever the long term result...

So sad too considering the last Twins home playoff series was WILD. And then ownership just quit ...

This is "it could be worse ... but might kinda suck ass" weather. Very much on that edge of either.

Sadly I think we're moving into an age where at the games ... engaged fans are being pushed out by pricing. Some teams seem to try to make space for them specifically but that just seems like it becomes a lucky subset of fans.... but not accessible to non season ticket holders. I wanted to...

My understanding the new stadium was largely dictated by the donor. It's not clear to me that the school would have chosen this option organically even if they had the cash in hand to do the thing without having to consider the donor's wishes. The nature of the bank's funding seems to mean...

I tried finding good lists of NFL QBs available…. the lists I found were not pretty.

I remember Joe improving our defense, little surprised at some of these comments.

At some point you're just out of warm bodies and how many old vets can you sign the week of?

I don't mind it being subjective. I've seen a ton of efforts to quantify stuff and "atmosphere" and such always ends up just as subjective, and other numbers are arbitrarily important or unimportant like ratio of fans to bathrooms ... but they're mostly on the club level kinda thing.

Gophers are so on or off ... yeah it's a punt type bet 🤷‍♀️ It could be close, or either team could blow out the other.
