    Time to assign Coach O'Connor a letter grade

    We are now in the NIL/transfer portal era, distinct from the earlier 64-team era with only grad transfers or sitting out a year. Easier to fill the gaps in a lineup or a bullpen now. Maybe harder to deal with prima Donna personalities. Either way, different circumstances call for different standards

    OT: Whiskey Myers and the Black Crowes

    The limited appearances of “Salvation” & “Blue Eyes” from recent tours can only help the energy. I’m not expecting the Robinsons to match the intensity of that show at the old Amphitheatre on campus in ‘92, but hoping for more energy than the Shake Your Moneymaker 30th anniversary tour a few...

    So anyway, back to Minnesota

    I went to Farm Aid 2025 (great show, btw) at the stadium on campus. Flew in and rented a car. After the show, it was hell getting back to the Mississippi bridge to get back to our hotel in the Mall of America vicinity. If I had it to do over, I would highly consider taking the train to leave the...

    Most of you predicted much worse....

    But with the Bear, we’d have hope that he could recruit better line talent going forward. Given how the last round of recruiting went followed by his cluelessness on the sidelines, I have no such hope in Lebby

    OT: Rolling Stones discography

    Saw them in Memphis on the Voodoo Lounge tour and loved the show and their cover of “I Can’t Get Next To You.” Exile is my favorite of theirs. Agree with the recommendation for Stripped and Blue & Lonesome. Since Steel Wheels, I’ve found myself drawn more to the Keith ballads like “Slipping...

    White helmets 17ing sick

    Those white batting helmets are worse than all of the white football helmets, which are pretty bad except for the Flying M. The white caps with maroon bill aren’t that bad, but pale in comparison to the maroon caps. Black or maroon caps would’ve looked better with the black jerseys

    Kid moving to Austin TX

    Lived in Austin 20 years, but recently left to get closer to family. As I’ve gotten older the monthlong streaks of 100+ wear on you, but it’s a great place. Different than it used to be, more corporate, maybe a little less fun as a result. I lived in the Domain area before the Domain was built...

    New helmets this week?

    The helmets should always be maroon, except for the rare Flying M appearance. Don’t understand the appeal of the all white look. It’s kinda boring. Leave the white helmet look for the Auburn and UTs of the world

    On a Scale of 1-10 What Is Your Outlook of Our Football Program Under Leach

    5, maybe 6 - I always liked watching his teams at other places, but never wanted his system at State. He has a low ceiling here, especially in an NIL world
