    Tweet: NYC bowl game, band gets 1 night housing then late flight home, arriving 2am to MN winter & closed dorms. The level of CHEAP is mind boggling.

    So I'm guessing Jodi's photo is the Wed pre-flight snack. Seems reasonable and not the "apple juice & yogurt for the next 30 hours" she's implying. I could see PJ sending a van full of NY-style pizzas to the band's hotel tonight. Seems like he's done stuff like that in the past. Someone put...

    My favorite is all the DCI mentions. Like anyone outside of bandos will get that reference. Plus, I can pretty much guarantee an overnight trip to NYC is a billion times better than a DCI trip. I never did DCI, but from what I've heard, those trips are ROUGH and gross. And you pay for...

    I'm sure the band students will make the most of it and have a great time. Bowls in big cities are always kind of like this. I went to Nashville, El Paso, & Miami with the band. Miami sucked for a lot of the same reasons. Tough for a large group to navigate a meaningful trip on a budget...

    Jim Leonhard out of UW after the bowl game.

    He should join Deion's staff at Colorado.

    Tim Brewster following Deion to Colorado

    So that's three former D-1 head coaches on staff. While they weren't great HCs, that's an impressive staff.

    Kirstie Alley, ‘Cheers’ and ‘Look Who’s Talking’ Star, Dies at 71 of cancer

    Maybe not as much in the metro, but definitely noticeable out-state. I think Kirstie nails it, obviously in a caricature sort of way.

    PA is terrible

    Thank goodness we have Mike Grimm. Love listening to Grimm. I rarely hear a Vikings broadcast but get the sense PA talks over his color guy. Grimm & Thompson have a nice conversational rhythm.

    Best Movie Made in Minnesota (Grumpy Old Men defeats Fargo)

    Two glaring omissions IMO are Juno & Drop Dead Gorgeous, though maybe those were just set in MN and not actually filmed here. I still use East Jesus Nowhere and Sin Cities to describe where I'm going. Fargo & Grumpy Old Men are both deserving IMO but certainly an upset win.

    Three years ago today! Gophers beat No. 4 Penn State at home!

    "The place has gone nuclear" is right up there with "We'll see you tomorrow night" for all-time great MN sports calls.

    Movies Everyone Has Seen-Except You

    The Titanic action sequences are actually really good. Back when cable tv was still a thing, I'd catch the disaster scenes every once in a while. Really good movie-making if you skip past the sappy stuff.

    NEW MUSIC

    There is a lot to unpack in this post. My first question is: what is Lawyers, Guns and Money? The post makes it sound like a physical destination rather than just Nokomis' favorite singalong song.

    Let’s try this

    Better safe than sorry. Maybe Goldy hates tattoos (he doesn't have any...visible at least). All of us with Goldy tattoos should probably get them lasered off just to be safe.

    Let’s try this

    Gophers haven't won the West while I've had a Goldy tattoo. Anyone know of a good tattoo removal place?

    Movies that hold up vs. those that don't

    There's at least two I remember: the older brother is singing Accidents Will Happen in the kitchen and he has an E.C. poster in his room.

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    Started watching Rings of Power with my kids. Best part is that Galadriel is the main character, instead of a bunch of dudes out adventuring. My daughter, who went as Gandalf for Halloween one year, is into it.

    Movies that hold up vs. those that don't

    Watched E.T. with my kids a while back. Now that I'm older, I catch the Elvis Costello references in the movie. :love:

    Best song played during a movie?

    This is the other scene that came immediately to mind.
