Pipestone High School defeats Albany 50-49

So, I haven’t seen any recaps posted on the web yet, and we don’t get any Minnesota High School Basketball Tournament games here in Vermillion, but I hear it was exciting. 50-49, but no overtime. However, my brother was at the game, and sent me a text message saying that Steph Kocourek made a 3-pointer […]

Jackrabbits and Tourons

So, since my last post was so well-received, I thought I’d follow with one that folks can appreciate a bit more.
First, SDSU, a Division I-AA football program, lost to UW-LaCrosse, a Division III football program with no scholarships.  17-3. At home. Go, ‘Yotes!
Also, I thought y’all would appreciate this picture of moronic tourists […]

Awesome!

This has to mean at least 7 guaranteed interceptions for the Vikings’ secondary next year.
Can’t wait!

Culpepper = T.O.? or “Give me some sugar, baby!”

A nice comparison by someone who dealt with both of them in one way or another.
I went to Hench’s wedding on Friday. It was a really nice ceremony. I saw some Brassworks folks there (Paul Baumgart played his trumpet, and then Rick and his wife were there, as well as Jeff Kunkel) as well […]

Adios, Daunte

(So I just realized that this post made no sense. Hence, I edited it.)
He’s been traded. Excellent! The question is, can a trade for Favre be far behind? I hope not. I don’t want that cheesehead on my team. In all seriousness, I wonder how long Brad Johnson will be an option. And I can’t […]

Spam. It’s what’s for dinner.

Or something like that.
We here at mkjanssen.com have had some comment spam problems lately. Nothing excessive. I probably shouldn’t even be complaining. But I bet I mark at least 5 comments per day as spam. The frustrating thing is that many of the spammers “names” are the same. One thing I liked about b2evolution was […]

The Demise of Favre

Wow.
This probably isn’t even blog-worthy, but Vermillion isn’t too thrilling right now. Can anyone believe the ridiculous number of interceptions Brett Favre has thrown this year? As of the end of the second half of the MNF game tonight, I think it’s about 24 — the most in the league.
Now, as a Vikings fan, this […]

Police Report

So I’m sure this is a recycled joke (though I’d never heard it), but it seems quite timely. It was forwarded to me by Jim Adams. Nice.
POLICE REPORT:
Mike Tice’s House was Egged
Minneapolis police reported that some individual attempted to “egg” Mike Tice’s house last night.
An empty egg carton was recovered at the scene. Two […]

Wolves part with Cassell

Star Tribune story
All I can say is that it’s about freaking time.

Dealing with Losses in Athletics

Argus Leader link
Honestly, this would not normally be blog-worthy. Heck, it probably still isn’t.
But most of the article uses the current losing streak for the Sturgis Brown HS football team as a primary example. They are either 0-67 or 0-68 (the article gives both) — both of my roommates went to high school there, as […]
