I am not a huge Bison fan, normally! This week, because I am even less a Glenn Mason fan, I am a Bison backer!

I don't think the Bison have the horses to pull it off, but I will be cheering for them.

Ditto that sentiment.

One would hope it would lead to his firing at the end of the year.

ROR, I agree! Won't happen though. Mason has about a $1.987MM buyout on his contract. U won't find any backers passionate enough to pony up that kind of ching!

Considering his "bonus" monies if he were successful could tally up to 800k, I think a collection could be had to pay off the rest.  The bigger question is the signing bonus for the new guy...

Sounds to me like they both need a lawyer.  Seem to me that the laywer wouldn't even need to be very good.

I think I could get this thrown out even though I have only attended the Law and Order School of Law.

Now it all makes sense!

Even Amy Klobuchar could win this case!*

Chuck Norris Fact of the Day:

Chuck Norris smells what the Rock is cooking... because the Rock is Chuck Norris' personal chef.

Mighty Royal

GBFOTD:

Guy Bellair ate the Rock and then had Macho Man Randy Savage for dessert.


Bonus GBFOTD:

Guy Bellair was the Inspiration for the great Lynyrd Skynyrd song That Smell.

Johnnie Watchers;

Anybody wanna guess our upstart squad may be feeling some of the negativity surrounding last week's game vs GAC?

Anybody wanna guess we may see a major ass-whopping vs the Pipers this weekend?

If this year's addition of the cardinal and blue has any cahonies at all you can bet the reserves will be in to start the 3rd quarter and far be it from me to say I don't respect the Piper (extremely long sentence...).  It's just bad timing for HU to travel to Collegeville....

Anybody wanna guess what the vibe will be come Saturday?  I'm guessing you're going to lay witness to a big ole can a whoop ass.

developing.....

Don't believe everything you hear.  Desperation leads a candidate, even one with a Benedictine education, to make wild charges.*

There's often more to the story than meets the eye.  Our system of justice is not perfect.  But it is the best one going.**

I thought the Johnnie handled Klobuchar on "Meet the Press" like he was SJU and  she was St. Olaf.

Unfortunately for Kennedy, it was like the 2004 version ... muddy logic and plenty of fumbles!

Oh, yeah, I will now allow zip one free whack at my knees -- and I'll try not to post anything political again

Sorry, I don't know who Klobuchar is, but sounds like the normal she is a democrat and he is a republican logic. Repete-hope there are more you know what in that voting district.

Hey folks,

As many of you know, former SJU All-American d-lineman Ryan Weinandt is head football coach at Dassel-Cokato.  His running back, Evan Abrahamson, has a run that is up for Kare 11 Prep Sports Hot Highlight of the Week.

You can go and vote for him at: http://www.kare11.com/sports/prep/prep_hot-highlights.aspx?a=1266743

They have a running back? D-C's quarterback had the third most passing yards in the state a few weeks ago. They are one of my region teams that I cover. They've had a nice season and have a big game tonight with Glencoe-Silver Lake.

P/I- They have a couple of "all-purpose" backs. Ryan has a great QB named Dan Raisanen & a freaky good WR named Josh Aho.

Ryan has also taken the SJU style of defense as well as SJU's prototype offensive linemen (small & quick) Last season they had an all-conference OT 6'1 175lbs. For what ever reason, the kids are not that big, and haven't been for years. I remember our offensive lines (late 70's-early 80's) maybe having 1 or 2 guys over 200 lbs. I guess you can blame genetics. If these guys remain in the area & marry small women then the kids will be smallish as well

I have not lived in the area for 15 years, but still get the local paper to keep up on the happenings. It is good to see the towns excited about football again.
