Happy Birthday to @g-manpuck! Our favorite usher at the purple land cow games.

Thanks @Cowgirl !!

This is getting too tin foil hat for me. I'll talk with everyone in the fall. Stay healthy everyone.

The outrage that Marc Michaelis didn't make the Hat Trick is trending here in Mankato. People have disagreed with me for a couple months that Michealis needed other-worldy numbers to make the final three. I think the biggest stumbling block for Michaelis or McKay was their conference competition. T...

There were wolf spiders at the Mitigwa Boy Scout Camp in Iowa. It seemed like every year when we would set up camp one of those f*** would be hiding in our campsite box at the entrance to our campsite. It became a fun game to torture me with the idea of wolf spiders all week long by my best friend. ...

Snakes...I can deal with garter snakes if I see them first but those sneaky f*** come out of nowhere!

Doesn't a drink have to be a mixture of ingredients to be called a cocktail?

Yep, that's why I said I wasn't a cocktail guy if you stick to the definition of it.

When do we hold the best quarantine hair competition? Who's all in on rocking their best 80's hairband hair? I'm contemplating doing matching mohawks with my son. We last did that about 10 years ago. A five year old can pull off a mohawk...a 36 year old...not so much. Now a 15 year old and 46 year ...

I have always been more a beer drinker so I'm definitely not a "cocktail" kind of guy if you stick to the use of the term. Last year though I did start drinking bourbon. I found that I am a big fan of Buffalo Trace bourbon, three fingers, with diet ginger ale.

Take me for instance. What if I tested negative on both tests but because of that outcome I am asked to self quarantine for 14 days or longer because I am a health risk of contracting Covid because I neither have it nor have had it. Where are you getting the idea you'd be asked to self quarantine f...

But which test would prove to be of greater use? Covid-19 test or the antibody test? You both just made arguments for both tests but which information is of greater importance to know? Then comes the issue of what to do with that information if you are negative for either test? You could willfully m...

We need to get to widespread testing in order to work back toward some type of normalcy. Hoping we can get there. What results would widespread testing provide? It will tell you if you are currently infected or not, that's it. That's no guarantee that you won't get it or have already had it. Also, ...

My work called and asked if I would be willing to deliver curriculum this week. I declined, as I'm at higher risk from this thing due to the 'beetus. I feel kind of guilty for doing that for some reason. For whatever reason my wife just put together that because of her health over the last 5-6 year...

Another weekend full of work and a break from anything Covid-19 related. I honestly haven't checked the state of anything since Friday morning. I worked for Pepsi this weekend and grocery stores said that Friday wasn't any more busy than any other day in the past two weeks. From what I worked it did...

How I seem to get into minor disagreements daily with my housemates about living in this Covid-19 world in regards to the Governor's actions. I don't think I have a real big anxiety problem but if there is something that gives me anxiety, especially right now, is when some one misinterprets or over...

Yesterday I ordered a 6'x8' wrestling mat for home. I found a company that sells their defects at a discount. That will help my wife so she can do her Farrell's workout each day at home with some comfort. It will also allow me to kick my son's ass on the mat everyday....look at me the big talker rig...

I would think the main change is that it gives the police more leeway to enforce distancing. I think that is exactly what these orders are meant to do. I read the Executive Order. Maybe I missed it because my eyes glazed over after a while, but I don't see anything in there about police being able ...

Here is the link to the complete order: Governor Order So it's just a continuation of what we've been doing. Nothing more restrictive just with some legal recourse if you get caught breaking CDC gathering guidelines. Work from home if you can or practice physical distancing if you work outside your ...

I would think the main change is that it gives the police more leeway to enforce distancing. I’ve noticed in Wisconsin that there has been a dip in the amount of people I see out since Monday, as if the order kinda gives people a “this $h!t is serious” realization. I think that is exactly what thes...

Thoughtful, well laid out, facts and numbers to back up decision making, and calm in its delivery. I look forward to reading the details of this order. It doesn't sound like it is much different from what we are doing right now, just an extension of current orders and asking to be ever vigilant or s...

Has anyone else read the "Safer at Home" order that Wisconsin enacted? Honestly, it isn't that more restrictive than what we are experiencing now. The big thing that makes it different is that if you are caught breaking one of the rules, it is now enforceable by law and you can be fined and/or jaile...

I guess my son just about walked behind my wife who was on a video conference this morning. He just got out of the shower and per usual was on his way up to his room with only a towel around him. My daughter caught him before he was the star of the show and threw some clothes to him. My wife's co-wo...

Has anyone here watched the Governor's press conferences on Fox9's Facebook page? And then read the Facebook comments during it? I'm glad I'm physically distancing from most of these people!

This isn't good news.

I believe Osterholm and Fauci both have said this is what is going to happen, a roller coaster not just one wave.

One thing Walz said about shelter in place and essential businesses was that businesses that keep your furnace running or your water running are essential. There are a lot of businesses that provide services like that that would be essential. He even mentioned mechanics to keep trucks going down the...

The first step out of the house in the morning headed for work listening to the birds singing about spring before you remember what is happening in the world....

He doesn't have to pay for his lunch in Cedar Falls ever after that game! Ha ha! Love it!

Through my work we know some contractors that are working at 3M in New Ulm and they have their temperature scanned everyday and fill out a short questionnaire before they are allowed to enter the building to start their day of work.

I believe at some time, herd immunity will set in but the problem will be how to prove that. This is still the one big question that California and New York are going to be at in a week or so. That will be a lot of pressure to be the first ones to enact strict shelter in place and then figuring out ...

1. I'm from Iowa...Iowa Falls, Iowa to be exact. Yes, there is a falls there...well it's a dam that Alliant Energy still runs the water turbines every once in a while yet. Only thing known from that town is Nick Collison formerly of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Bill Reilly of Iowa State Fair fame. ...

I saw the best and worst of humanity working this past weekend merchandising for Pepsi. I worked at Walmart both mornings....7:00 am it was like Black Friday on Saturday morning when the doors opened up. Just be kind to the employees and vendors you see filling the shelves at stores during this. We'...

Getting a college hockey team hasn't really helped Arizona State's reputation as a safety school. Hopefully for Mackey's sake, the NHL comes back in some kicapacity this year and he's able to burn a year on his contract--and he plays well enough that that is to his benefit--because he was getting p...

Hearing Seattle is getting a shelter-in-place order tomorrow. This will grow beyond just Seattle. Especially when places like Florida can't seem to do it on their own. My daughter has a friend that works for a security company which is working at the hospital and clinic here in Mankato during this ...

I think that Hastings will keep MSU in the top 3 of any conference between his coaching and recruiting for the foreseeable future. He will have to have his goaltender in waiting on campus next year though, McKay will be gone after next season barring an injury or complete breakdown of his game. Thi...

I went grocery shopping yesterday at Lunds Uptown. Don’t judge, it’s 5 blocks from my house :D Not an egg or egg product to be had. Not even a carton of yucky Southwestern style Egg Beaters. WTF are people doing with all the eggs? No TP but fully stocked on tissues. Plenty of basic bottled water. B...

Dhoogie would fit in at UND...I would never bring that little dink here.

MSU Mankato is losing 4 of their top 5 goal scorers. With Connor Mackey soon to be leaving and graduating 7 they are losing 75 of their 153 goals they scored. Hastings will have to pull a rabbit out of his hat to push his team next year to be at the level it has been for the last three. This was su...

Some interesting numbers.

Very interesting...thanks for posting this!

I think that is the thing that Americans need to keep in mind when there is a big spike in confirmed cases is that testing is becoming more available. People were not as informed one week ago as they are now. Myself I am more informed and have a much different view of this than I did a week ago. By...

With the closure of restaurants for dine in service, my wife has lost her part time job for the time being. I am truly amazed at how well she is handling that along with the day she had at Head Start where it was her co-workers causing her more stress than the families she serves. Her calmness is gi...

The Mankato YMCA just sent out an email that they are closing until March 30th. A few restaurants are going to delivery only. With the announcement of a positive case here in Blue Earth County this is going to really ramp up the panic...not sure how much higher it can go. Rumors are abound that ther...

Here is the list of how things are affecting my family -So far my job is fine, we will see what today brings though. Xcel Energy is going to start manning their power plant here in Mankato by having a skeleton crew work 7 days on/7 day off and workers will stay at the plant during those 7 days. They...

It seems that if it is a game that is under the NCAA supervision than it will fall under this according to about every sports writer I've seen on Twitter. So does this mean if the Purple Cows finally win a game at the NCAA's will it count since no one will be there to witness it?

Heard it straight from a players mouth this weekend, a Maverick will be signing as soon as their season is over.

Finding a way to score goals and having LaFontaine stay hot is the only way this team wins and advances. I think Bob has said it the past couple weeks about the importance of scoring goals. That hot streak in late January/early February the team was scoring 4 or 6 a night. Things have cooled off to ...

BTW.... Prior to the last two seasons, the last time MN played at home during the State Hockey Tournament was in 2012. That was a WCHA 1st round series against Alaska Anchorage. The tickets sold was 9,410 on Friday and 9,019 for Saturday. I am guessing that there was a bunch of no shows due to the ...

I was listening to the podcast and the questions came up about flight risks or transfer risks and it made me look at the roster to see who is on the team. I'm too lazy to try to find that part of the podcast again, but I don't remember Matt Denman's name coming up. Is he still on the team? Since he ...

I agree with you, the kid extended his arm to push it off....the Blake kid didn't push him either.

Dodge County was the no. 1 seed in Section 1A, Mankato East was 4th seed and beat them in the section semis. Then East beat no. 2 seed Mankato West in the final to go to state.

Go Cougars!!!!! They just aren't deep enough. That coach only plays 3 d-men and 6 forwards, NO team can win at the state level with playing so few players. Liffrig has a big decision to make after this year, come back and play with his friends for his senior year or go play juniors. For his develop...

While Tool is not my cup of tea, NO artist is for a $150 ticket to see them. My boss disagrees with me and he shelled out $200+ to see Guns N Roses at US Bank and he is shelling that out again to see them at Target Field. $50...maaaaybe $60 is my limit on what I will spend on a concert. I completely...

You know, despite laying some eggs in the last few weeks I am very happy to see some progress from this team and the program under Bob. Everyone knows what this team needs and it really comes down to calming the peaks and valleys of each phase of the game. Obviously the PP is the biggest disappointm...

See what Mankato and St Cloud charge and match it. You can make a good argument that prices should be even lower than them with all the entertainment options here

So....you want blue line tickets for $590 like here in Mankato.

Don't forget about the fall from grace of the wrestling program and their little drug business.

I think this Chico was just another seriously sick person in a position of power over young adults and adolescents who preyed on those individuals and when the organizations who hired him/them found out about these instances or some instances of abuse they just dismissed that person and swept the wh...

I think if Guerin stands pat this offseason then we as fans can and should bitch. He will have a little money to play with this offseason but signing Kaprisov and Kunin will take precedence. After that then look to who deserves a contract extension like Brodin, Fiala, and Foligno. I don't see a trad...

That retirement recapture penalty is quite the hurt. Russo put in his article on The Athletic that Parise is quoted to say he plans on playing out his contract so the recapture penalty is mute. We'll see. I would like to see this trade happen for both sides. Parise needs to move on and the Wild need...

I watched recently a replay of Dale Sr’s fatal crash and I couldn’t believe it. Compared to some NASCAR crashes that I’ve seen on TV (clips..I don’t really have any interest in NASCAR) it seemed so minor. I mean the car hit the wall hard but you see some of those vehicles get tossed all over the pl...

Ryan Newman was released from the hospital today...holding his daughter's hands as he walked out...without shoes on. :lol: They probably told him he was released and he got dressed, grabbed his daughter's hands, and George Jefferson'd the hell out of that hospital! NASCAR safety has come a long way....

From what I've read in a couple articles since Michigan Tech is the caretaker of the trophy, it will go with them. But Bowling Green was the team that held the naming rights and trophies for the CCHA, so those could be used. I looked it up and the MacNaughton was used as the CCHA regular season trop...

I'm glad that the WCHA is dying because everytime I see those WCHA banners in the rafters here in Mankato, I feel like going up there and adding an asterisk to every one of them. It's the WCHA...but is it really the WCHA?

From what started as maybe 1-2" turned into over 6" here in Mankato, New Ulm got it worse with over 10"! Roads were a mess early this morning but now they are just wet thanks to the sun and the salt. I'm thankful that I moved a lot of the big drifts yesterday morning here at work so that our plow gu...

They are still selling 8200 tickets a game folks.... That is still a huge number. So changing the price will not have a huge impact. Most of those empty seats you are seeing are the 3k in no shows each game. Sorry, but this isn't true as the most empty sections at games are not those that are alrea...

Boudreau reacted to his firing exactly like I hoped he did...f'bombs and all! I like Boudreau but he is better off being away from this team. Guerin has to really put his stamp on this team to get the needle to move towards improvement this offseason...starting with who he chooses as coach and wheth...

My son's wrestling season ended last week but my wife and I have had so much fun watching him this season. With him wrestling it renewed my love of the sport and my son and I really got to bond over the sport this winter. We've watched some Iowa wrestling, including the beatdown of the Gophers on Sa...

Don't forget that Suter needs to go as well. He is there but not even close to worth his contract now, so he and Parise are on the same level. As far as Bruce, I'm surprised but not surprised. Guerin came out after the trade and said that the team... the team couldn't quit otherwise there would be ...

Target related...I don't get the whole "I can't go to Target without buying half of the store". There is nothing in Target, Walmart, or the like that I couldn't live without. If I had a bigger disposable income there would be much better places to spend my money than Target...I just don't get it. N...
