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.
This reminds me, I would also like the Lakers to know I will not be joining them.
I know what you’re all thinking. You can’t go 17-0 unless your coach is Brian Shottenheimer. Correct. With this team, even Urban Meyer would win at least 13 games.
As MNUFC New England correspondent, I must report the hotel art skews football. Rev-erasure!
Many people consider him a hardliner but he insists he’s softened his positions. In any case, this is daily life in America now—when the least intelligent, least qualified are allowed to fuck it all up with no consequences.
Loons shocked to learn GAM cannot be used for thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts. But they do offer up 3 pts as tribute. As for the trees? Austin leaves the city limits with the L. Loons go up 2, hang on for 2-1 win. Yeboah scores on set piece. Ramirez can’t summon his powers.
Even more changes than I expected. But that’s good b/c should mean a stronger squad for SJ. Need to provide plenty of help to Padelford, who has been targeted in his starts. I did think IF James was ever going to start in MLS—this would be it. Big opp for Dieng, who has really struggled. #MNUFC
Key match for the Loons. The road trip stabilized the team. But if they want to be more than just fighting for the 8/9, matches like these need to be 3 pts. Under Neville, Timbers are just such a random, unpredictable club. Not good, but you’re never quite sure how they’ll play. #MNUFC
A home match, in this economy? Loons shocked to learn GAM cannot extend nice midweek weather into Sat. Yeboah nudges in the winner in the 2nd, Loons cause Timbers to fall 2-1. A tree-t for home fans, a trunk-ated respite from the cold. Phil rants all match, but leaves with the L nevilletheless.
Loons haven’t scored in 2.5 games. Galaxy have not won since opening night. Big opportunity for Gene, who has yet to establish himself as even a role player. Loons need Count Chancalay to give them some pace and width in attack. Can Markanich contribute after a rough start? #MNUFC
Big match for the Loons. They haven’t been competitive the past two. Romero has been lifted from the remote well he was trapped in. This is a chance to enter the international break on a positive note. Another foe playing after a midweek game—it has to eventually help, right? Right?!!! #MNUFC
See, this is what we need more of on this app. Mark it down. The Mark of a good post is …
You can see the Loons are a team still searching. So far, they haven’t replicated the defensive solidity of last season, nor have they really found a more expansive attack. Hoping to see a better, more cohesive performance versus a quality team, albeit one who played midweek against a rival. #MNUFC
Loons tried this partnership as well. But as you can see, the, uh, excitement could not be contained:
Loons face a tough challenge in Nashville—that attack triumvirate will be the biggest test so far (Surridge is in). Need a much better start this week—Loons were lucky to escape a very poor opening 20 last Sat. (Are we still pretending the Romero thing isn’t weird? Just checking.) #MNUFC
