    North Dakota to Washington, they very much so still ride the trains. Prefer to ride in the Cadillac Grainers up from the hitch.

     

    Damnit. Now I'll spend way too much time watching this guy's channel.

    The more I think about the Creighton situation, it dawns on me that a 56-year-old WHITE man who has been around the sport of basketball for the vast majority of his life, doesn't just become a racist, or even racially or culturally insensitive, overnight.

    If there is any sport out there that is uniquely situated to weed out racism and intolerance, it has to be basketball, given its endemic diversity.  As opposed to, say, NASCAR or any of the country-club sports.

    If McDermott has a clean record, and a legacy of proud, supportive players, coaches, and colleagues, how do you not give him a pass?

    Hell, I once at at a Souplantation...never once gave it a thought.

    Yeah, yeah, we get all that. But what we really want to know is...are they wearing masks?

    I saw this on the ESPN app last night...I sure hope not!

    It's 2021, so I suppose that all language, culture, history, idioms, expressions, phrases, analogies, figures of speech, etc., including without limitation the brazenly callous works of one Dr. Seuss, MUST BE WHITEWASHED immediately.

    Sad to hear of the passing of Irv Cross, but damn...seeing some of those old 'NFL Today' promotional cast photos takes me right back to my childhood.

    I was endlessly fascinated by, and will never forget, Jimmy "The Greek."  What a personality he was.  And Irv was the perfect, smooth and mellow antidote to Brent Musburger, who has to be the most universally unloved, "why's he always pulling for the other team?" CFB sportscaster of all time.

    Sports on TV without much in the way of gimmick or hype.  Seems so quaint and pure in retrospect.

    I also dearly miss halftime highlights on Monday Night Football, when there was no other way to see what happened around the league the day before.  Now get off my lawn!

    What's Needed At The Alerus?

    in Football

    Posted

    Some random week 1 observations, mostly about the new turf:

    - What's with the thick, solid yellow lines bisecting the sidelines at the 50?

    - What are the small yellow squares scattered about the turf that just happen to look an awful lot like penalty flags?

    - Was the logo at midfield scaled specifically to permit "Alerus Center" to be more legible, or is it that size by design?

    - Why does Hugo's even advertise?  They have a literal monopoly on non-superstore groceries in the area.

    - What's needed?  Fewer pacifier-style mouth guards.

    All of this, plus that fact you are going to need to wear a mask.  

    "But Officer...I always eat my popcorn one-half kernel at a time."

    Seriously, though.  Can we establish a pact with the camera/Jumbotron people not to out or shame the maskless?

    I was telling my wife about Hu Hot being closed and she said, it's not really pandemic friendly concept, everyone gathers around a big wok and waits for their food. 

    It's also a buffet. It makes sense. 

    They've been open-and-shut for the past several months, sometimes seemingly for weeks at a time.  Staffing has suffered, and not all of their grillers are created equally.  Would hate to lose them, as it's a concept that generally works and has no equal nearby.

    The only thing that bothers me is I can't understand why they built the medical school so far from campus.  

    Prime cemetery views are a constant reminder to students not to screw up.

    So as per sources, there will be a ceremony to raise the 2020 Conference Championship banner before the Saturday game.  And, the banner will have the Fighting Hawks logo on it.  There won't be a crazy amount of fans there, but it will be interesting to see what the reaction will be.  Hopefully it will celebrated and appropriately cheered.

    Damn thing better be wearing a mask.  And just to be safe, they should keep it at least 6' from the others.

    Here's something very nice to see...Grand Forks is hopping this weekend, abuzz with a youth hockey tournament.  Parking lots, restaurants, hotels are packed. And I couldn't be happier.

    Let them play. Screw COVID.

    Despite the very slippery slope, I think I can stomach the helmet ads. The ones I have seen so far seem to have been kept simple, and relatively elegant. Mostly monochrome, tasteful, understated. Hope they stay that way, and stick with top tier sponsors, and high-quality vinyl/decals.

    Change is hard.
