Couldn’t believe how poorly the Stallion’s defense played and how terrible their defensive game plan was.
Hats off to the Panthers for sure, they earned it, but even they had to be surprised how easy it was to move the ball.

And they blamed the students for the shootings. For decades.

They certainly put on a great live show.

It was a great game. Back and forth for 60 minutes between two great teams. Sad we lost but bring in attendance- it was a wonderful atmosphere. St. Louis fans do it right. Hope to be back in a few weeks.

Very true. Until there’s more money in peace than there is in war and suffering, we will never have long lasting peace.

Same. Iowa fought for the North, bloody battles against Missouri soured relations for decades, but still you’ll find more than a few of those traitorous flags in southern Iowa. It’s gross.

Yep. Really, REALLY wanted him to be a Bear.

I think the the key part of Stewart’s comment there is he didn’t think it’d get SO authoritarian SO quickly. Traditionally big shifts happen after midterms, but the GOP/MAGA is speedrunning this shit before midterms.

Yep. You can not like somebody all you want. But using “gay” to put them down, or worse to say that they are gay and mean that as a reason to not trust them… goodbye dude.

Yeah, saw that. Was really looking forward to seeing him on the field again.
Great human being from a tremendous family. But it’ll be good to get his hip fixed up so he can do all the things later.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.

There are several teams that draw a more consistent bigger crowd. It’d be nice to see those teams rewarded with the Opening Game.

Definitely going to check these guys out. It’ll take a lot to knock The Sonics out of the top proto-punk spot in my mind, but these guys might stand a chance.

He said he felt they, “didn’t have his back” as a veteran because they knelt for the anthem.
Buddy, that’s the freedom you fought for.

He’s a disaster to anything he touches.

What the hell happened? We were up by 1 going into the 3rd and u flipped over to watching Iowa vs tOSU in the women’s Big Ten basketball tourney, and the Wings give up 4 in just over 9 minutes?

Hoping he comes back in a support role of some sort. Guy is awesome to have around.

Wings have to lead the league in uncalled shots to the head/face. It’s unreal.

Bob, white guys are a HUGE fucking problem. Or do you not own a TV set?
And 6%-12% of Bernie Sanders supports turned to Trump instead of the Democratic candidate in recent elections. That’s not “many”.
