Yeah, I mean, if he was portaling for a better option, he probably would have said something on his social media - like the typical goodbye that everyone seems to do.
For it to be quiet like this, it's probably off-field.
Makes ya wonder if guys like him and Vince Young were to come into the league now - would they do better because the offenses would be familiar to them, and even customized to them, versus them having to adjust to what NFL offenses used to be.
Maybe he'll do a Russell Wilson and play for next to nothing, knowing his former team (Falcons) are still giving him the guaranteed money?
That being said, not sure it's good for JJ to have a former vikings starting QB lingering on the sidelines.
It might help that the stadiums are like almost 2.5 hours apart, so I doubt there are too many people in position to do both and having to choose between the two.
Ours are practically neighbors and one has a significant tailgating and gameday experience over the other.
Plus I'm not actually...
That's what I thought you were referring to as well. I painfully remember watching our CBs line up like 10 yards off the WR and give up easy completions.
I can't see the U itself trying to foster anything close to what you described for the vikes games, but it would be cool if fraternity row would help out. Let us alum come and drink beer out in the front yard and listen to music for an hour or two before stumbling half-drunk to the game to yell...
Not similar in every aspect, but kinda like pre-season NFL games? Go out there, test yourself, but the loss doesn't affect your playoff chances.
That being said, currently the difference is that the college kids will still try and win - for now. But what if coaches do start to use it like a...
Not trying to sound argumentative, just curious why you think that. Wouldn't saying something like, "We want to avoid lop-sided games against FCS teams and instead play more conference games, which will be more competitive in nature and better for fans, and also allow us to get a better gauge...
I was more trying to point out that Mpls has lots of citizens that do the cultural stuff and have no interest in sports, so that might account for why we have a larger population but less revenue.
If people in Des Moines and Lincoln also go to art stuff, great. I just think the people walking...
I'm not sure what part of the state you live in, but I'm in the heart of Mpls and I can tell you there are plenty of things to do besides vikings football. And not everyone is a sports fan either.
But if you don't acknowledge that Mpls has lots to offer that Omaha and Des Moines don't, then I...
The counter to this is that, in Lincoln, even though they are a mere fraction of our size as you say, is that 99.9% of the people there care about Nebraska football.
Our population doesn't scale nearly that well, so even though we have a lot more people, we probably have less overall Gopher...
