You oughta ditch the two geeks you're in the car with now and get in with us. But that's all right, we'll worry about that later. I will see you there.

That other people may think that the Cardinals are not "trying to" win is not a valid definition of a criteria, for how you get to just claim what any team is or isn't "trying to" do. Happy to drop this, you're not going to be convinced nor am I. You haven't refuted my statement, but perhaps...

Will be interesting to see on KOC. He has years left, but I think Kwesi did too. He has done a lot of winning here. Yet it could be felt that he has a ceiling with the way he does things. Bold: we will likely have to agree to disagree on that. I want a brilliant, genius coordinator as head...

I was trying to fathom what possibly could have been a reason for a negative reaction to my correct analysis of Coyle's spineless, gutless response to this question. All I could come up with was that not being able to land a mega donor for sports was somehow taken a reflection on the quality of...

Agreed Just that the topic was Coyle's (weak ass) response to landing a Gopher sports mega-donor. As you say, people will show up for a Gopher winner. But that doesn't necessarily translate into (mega) donations.

Making this up: KC might have strong excitement over pulling the NBA into the market, enough to approve a major overhaul/reno of T-Mobile arena to bring it up to modern, new NBA arena standards? They built the dang thing without the promise of an NBA team, in the first place. (Unless perhaps it...

Let it be Hennepin and Minnesota. New arena in Brooklyn Center, as has been discussed in other threads.

OK, but if they have a choice to send him elsewhere than a Western rival, they might prefer that?

And a lot of people don't care about college sports here!! I know, I know, crazy .. but actually true. That's part of where we live. Just is what it is.

Again, you're magically declaring what the Cardinals are "trying" to do. Why do you get to declare that and make it up? You haven't laid down any criteria or parameters for what makes each team "trying to" do this or that. Let's have it

Damn. I have to say I am disappointed with myself. I like to pride myself in being cynical, thus being able to cut through the bulls--t facade that permeates almost every public-facing thing or narrative hand-crafted for our society these days. I missed this one. You guys nailed it -- it's...

Agree with everything you say here. Only possible disagreement -- and I sure as hell am not going to go back into the argument you were having with WeatherGuy, so I don't know if you guys were actually arguing about this -- is that I don't think it's a bad thing in the slightest for public...

Also, since it seems that somehow some posters are imagining this: having a mega booster for sports ... has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the school. As in the actual institution. The thing that actually matters. N o t h i n g So it's absurd to think or imply that suggesting that...

I don't know anything about that. Sanford isn't necessarily an end all, be all situation for Minnesota. More a commentary on Minnesota sports luck: "if the Gophers ever were going to get to have a shot at actually having a mega-bucks sports booster ... then of course they would somehow have...

Sounds good, my friend! I invite you to place me on ignore and never respond to any of my posts ever again. Have a great day! :)
