That looks pretty sweet. Or should I say "suite"?

I am seriously contemplating buying some season tickets but only want part of the deal. Anyone interested? Don't we have a Johnnie Mafia connection in the Twins ticket office to, say, "improve our lie"?

Piperinsider, where in the world would you go to give a speech in beautiful Bird Island? Wouldn't the Sheepshed in Olivia be more appropriate?

The Island Ballroom.

This just in. . .

Little Falls will be hiring an Ole assistant coach to fill its Head Football position....  I am guessing it is Sinclair as it includes an English teaching position....

OH MY!!!  Torn Loyalties....Maybe Little Falls will do a better job of recruiting in the Foreign Exchange Program Market (South FLA).

I'll have to dummy down the 7th grade Johnnie offense so he can implement it at the varsity level!!!

Eewww!  It might be a step up for the Flyers, though

So, the NCAA moves back the kickoff from the 35 to the 30, I presume in all divisions. Guessing that will have a positive impact on scoring at the DIII level. Get your kick return guys working hard this spring and summer-should see more returns for TDs.

Plus not starting the clock until the recieving team catches the ball will keep teams from running out the clock by intentionally being offside on the kick-off ala Wiscy Badgers last year.

EDIT: BDB actually posts something about football.

Spending the weekend in Madison. May try to get a bird in the air at some point.

It's Friday the 13th...    I was kind of hoping a day such as this would merit a return of Anna

No, no Rico. Exactly the wrong day.

When the time is right, we will all know it.  8)

(Anna is mostly a football and B-list latin singer fan.)

To counter act the evils of Friday the 13th, a dose of +k for all.

Twins get a great outing from Silva!
