Odom’s a solid coach and I thought he was a great fit for UNLV and the Mountain West conference. If Purdue has a lot of NIL money, he might do better than his time at Missouri.
It's their Jerry Kill.
Being a native Minnesotan, to me solid means “not too bad” and “not too good.” Hopefully, that clears it up for you.
You missed the "Talking Minnesotan" class if that's your take on it. Or you have been in Washington too long. Every true MN speaker knows that "not too good" is WAY different than "not too bad." I might answer "not too good" if someone asks me how I am on the day after I am diagnosed with a terminal disease, my dog was hit by a car, I lost my job, and the bank foreclosed on my house. On the other hand, I might answer that same question with "not too bad" on the day after I won the lottery, the Gophers won the national championship, and I caught the state record walleye.Being a native Minnesotan, to me solid means “not too bad” and “not too good.” Hopefully, that clears it up for you.
Well, fer one t'ing, dat 'eye ain't good eatin'. Too big. Two pounders is watcha want.
Would you say he's "solid" though?
I think people probably mean "safe" when they say solid. Probably won't be bad but probably won't do better than Brohm.
Let's start with your definition of it...
Sure, you could say that.
Yeah they might get to mediocrity.
Yeah if he turns out to be good...and if we hire a good basketball coach who plans to maximize our potential...they and us might get to mediocrity.
LOL agreed. There's no such thing as a coach who can win at Purdue or Minnesota. But we sure love to throw up those clichés.
I probably wasn’t clear. It wasn’t too good of me to use quotes and the word and to signify an average of not too good and not too bad. But after thinking about, I didn’t do too bad.
