Snacks...?

That is one of the things I miss from Mankato...was watching them move in with all their snacks, games, books, etc. You could learn a little about them that way. Here is just a picture of them showing up for work.

I remember them hauling in their window ac units too...Those Mankato dorms were pretty spartan. I imagine the Wilf hotel they put the players up in now at Eagan is a little bit nicer.

Remember when Cindy Brady lost her Kitty Carryall and blamed Bobby? Then Bobby lost his kazoo and blamed Cindy? When in reality, Tiger had stolen both and was keeping them in his doghouse. A good lesson for all of us right there.

OK, so now what? Looks like everyone's there, but the schedule shows practices don't start until Saturday. What are they doing until then? I suppose conditioning and meetings.

Well...they all showed up with no walking boots, no ankle monitors, no police chase enroute. Guess that means so far, so good.

Did you check court records?

Word is that Banks and Big Orange are already buds. Love to see that duo dominate inside for a decade plus.

Vikings DL draft picks Caleb Banks and Dominique Orange were at the Lynx  game earlier today, and I have to say…is it just me, or does “Big Citrus”  look small compared to
