Let's talk about writing, books, MN sports, politics, art, science, philosophy, and, most importantly, puns. Living in New England, still feel Minnesotan. Sometimes have fever dreams about Jabberjaw.
When McCarthy throws the ball, no one knows where it is going. Might be completed, might get picked, might leave the stadium.

Vikings just combusting. KOC will simply not run the ball even with a struggling qb. Penalties. Turnovers. Insane playcalling. JJ might be an avg qb by season’s end. Who knows? But he’s fighting it right now (understandably) and KOC wants to call plays like he’s got Mahomes. Lucky to be in the game.

I still have no idea how the Loons won that match. And I don’t mean they were lucky—I mean that they somehow kept finding a way even after bad shit kept happening. So many times right on the brink of defeat. Over and over. Just astonishing resiliency, belief, and fight. #MNUFC

This match had everything! Nightmare beginning, red card, Sounders flopping like salmon, set pieces, more fucking set pieces, goalkeeper sub, Gene and Duggan (??) making pens, post and crossbar knocking balls in and out, goalkeeper scoring, shit talking by both sides, Loons sending Sea home! #MNUFC

Fuck. Another set piece goal. Just need to get to penalties now. Duggan can’t get in front of Morris. Would be a crime to not at least get a shot at pens. #MNUFC

Good lord. Yeboah just cannot have a clean touch. All series. Not even asking for a goal, just settle the ball and complete a pass. And … he’s off. Clearly not 100 percent but it’s been a rough watch. Midwest Messi on with 30+ to go. #MNUFC

Massive uphill climb for the Loons. There is going to be so much space for Sea, as in that last attack. And they have no choice but to chase and take chances, plus they are a team with little attacking dynamism. Need to earn 3-4 set pieces and hope that is enough. Had 1 already. #MNUFC

Easy red. Just a bizarre, insane reaction by Rosales. Season likely over now. Duggan offers Sounders a second, Rosales gives Sea a man advantage. Not enough composure against veteran side. Woof. #MNUFC

I feel for Yeboah—looks about 70-80 percent. But he hasn’t had a clean touch all match. Now Rosales has been sent off and that probably makes a comeback impossible. #MNUFC

Boxy gifts a corner with a terrible clearance. Loons almost concede on another set piece but DSC with a huge save. Loons alive for now. #MNUFC
