So my sump is still running, every 19 mins in fact it dumps a decent amount of water.

First time I've ever seen that live. That was frickin cool. Agreed. I'm somewhat ashamed to say I'd never been to a Gopher football game before, but what a game to make my debut at. You almost got to see what happens when a guy doesn’t read the wind correctly. He darn near crashed into the wall in ...

Stuff like this always remind me that Coyle just gets it. I'm not going to worry about the buyouts because they'll just keep reupping him if it becomes an issue.

It doesn't hurt that PJ really seems to want to be here.

Actually student tickets sold well at the Dome and they showed up. It helped that when I was there the team was actually pretty decent.

I think they could still offer the different packages (basic, expanded basic, sports, etc), but also have an a la carte option.

A lot of terrible teams in the NFL this season how many teams will finish 0-16 this season?
