Blasphemy to follow; be warned: Is it time to rethink the 3-4 scheme? It was put in place to stop an offensive scheme no longer in wide use. And it seems to lend to DL being hurt because there's more opportunity to double-team them (5x3 vs 5x4). Discuss.

I'm gonna say it: In light of what's going on outside US Bank Stadium tonight, it's a good day to not have the old nickname. We'd have been drug in and thrown in the barrel too. https://www.google.com/search?q=redskin+protest+minneapolis+thursday+night+football&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS819US819&oq=redskin+protest+minneapolis+thursday+night+football&aqs=chrome..69i57.11871j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Hutch 1, Oxbow 0. Blasphemy! Heathen. Well, my sumps have started running again ... Winter keeps the riff-raff out.

Anybody who had one of those would tell you the same thing.

Of snow? No. Of snow on Oct 11 and 12 in a Midwest wind blender? ... Buffalo on average gets it's first inch of snow on November 18.

I'll stand by this: There was no better RA gig to have than an east wing in Walsh. Those were private suites. You had a bathroom to yourself and no suitemates (because the other part of the suite had been separated from the suite and was part of the common laundry area and kitchenette).

Someone be sure to send Canisius the weather forecast. https://www.weather.gov/fgf/

Congrats. But if we're comparing resume and experiences ... I was the most tenured RA on campus the day I left Housing. I toured every hall on campus during my years (including East Hall). I lived in Walsh, and then Hancock. I'll take a suite over "cattle showers" every time. Hancock had just been converted from "cattle showers" to multiple shared single baths when I was there. Better, but I still missed my private RA suites from Walsh.

Call it "the Northern Iowa rule": Only thing better than a quality bye is a quality loss.

Feelings are not to be considered. Is it logical for home fans to disparage the home team at home based on the home jersey? Signed, Commander Spock

And now the Twins have been caught for the "team home runs in a season" lead by NYY.

(Shamelessly stolen from a UNDFootball 360 tweet) SHSU yards per game this year: 558 579 280 604 Any guesses which was when they played UND?

In addition to football, is a coach's job to also teach sportsmanship and gentlemanly play? Would you say the sportsmanlike, or gentlemanly, play was made in that case?

I gave up at 8-6 and went to bed. I turned on the radio to hear the weather. Seems I missed something.

I just called Sano’s HR30. Other person in room couldn’t decide: Stay and applaud Sano and the 5@30 Twins, or leave so they wouldn’t have to hear me gloat. < pats self on back > Detwiler being shelled. 5-0 Twins. Time to switch to SHSU@UND game. Wonder what “predictions” I’ll make there. 5@30 — 2019 Twins: First team in MLB history with 5 players with 30+ HRs.

Part of problem is that today's college students don't "have a couple" while watching Herbie and Puck win a World Series; today's college students intentionally, consistently drink themselves to oblivion ("blacked out")*. *18-20 year olds experienced a 56% increase in binge drinking between 1993 and 2001 (source)

I struggle to believe that. Cops have enough to do besides pulling kids off shuttle buses. And frankly, an honest cop would tell you they'd rather the kid be on the shuttle than behind a wheel. If a cop were to pull someone off a shuttle I'd guess it's more for disorderly than drunk.

So is every fall, the annual start of college athletics, going to be our own private Festivus with it's annual Airing of the (Logo) Grievances? If so, count me out.

Isn't that statement fairly timeless?

Big Ben, Brees, Darnold with mono, ... interesting redefinition of "Year of the QB".

Minnesota 92 58 (12 games remain) Cleveland 87 63 (12 games remain) Magic Number (163-92-63) is 8 If the Twins go "epic fail" at 4-8 and Cleveland rocks it at 8-4 ... Minnesota still wins the Central.

So Lenny Nelson IV didn’t play against SHSU. Echos of Zach Arnell.

In today's world, it's not what you say, it's how I interpret what I think you might have said. If just one person hears that word and interprets it as toward the D/L/Nakota Nations you're wrong. Welcome to America 2019.

But it was flagged, penalized, ... illegal. You may not think it was a blind side, but the guy with a yellow hankie and striped shirt thought it was.
