Bulldozer buried under the turf It's stuck!

Who do you think was driving the bulldozer?

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

I have been impressed with the recievers ability to actually catch the football.

agree

watching Minny's guys drop pass after pass reminded me of us in years past. Brutal

Yes. We surprisingly have multiple guys with good hands who can catch passes. We are lacking in a specific area.

Can we talk about Pat Bryant yesterday? TVD had a pass tipped that would have fallen incomplete if Bryant hadn't had the body control to go back, catch it with his hands, then bring it in. That blew my mind when I caught the replay on the video board yesterday

What a great day for this old hippie named pru....

The Illini win in dominating fashion and the St. Louis Blues win their season opener over the Columbus Blue Jackets 5 - 2.....
Off now with NL # 3 to explore the great climatic unknowns of our bodies threshold levels....

I love this fleeting existence called life as each day brings new adventures and merriment..
Explore the great unknown weary traveler with a smile on your face..
.
It might be your last adventure or a series of new adventures...
Just try to understand happiness and embrace every second of your life..
I know I am...I really really am...
Later all and peace out.........

Easily the catch of the day. Maybe not the most important catch, but easily the most impressive!

Thank you! I tried explaining it to my friend she just kind of nodded along. I'm grateful she puts up with my shenanigans, but I needed positive feedback of my opinion in that moment lol

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

just so you know, Im all about tolerating shenanigans , at any time of day

Mine involved calling all the Minnesota fans around me "Gryffindor" so

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

ahhhhhh, now you are out of my wheelhouse

There were some really good catches by our receivers yesterday but the one that stands out to me is the crazy interception by our safety, I think it was Smith. He came out of nowhere to make that play.

That was filthy. He snatched it out of the receiver's hands. None of us in the shoe knew what was happening at first

Wasn’t that Casey Washington? Maybe I’m thinking of a different but equally impressive catch.

 

[logjam]

And also

RIP (and shout out to the roof of the old IHOP at far center right in the distance):

Them were the best of days.....I sure would love a do over.....

There was a similar smell in Grange Grove after the game today.

And there was also a literal garbage can on fire right behind the sportswear tent.

Fireworks....ashes?

 

[AnnoyedWithGarza]

That's ridiculous, Brees had everything except height. That and NFL teams not knowing how to scout spread offenses in those days.

He was a lot like Bryce Young now that I think about it.

Drew Brees did not have a big arm, ever. He made split second decisions and was maybe the most accurate QB of all time. He is exactly what you said gets exposed in the NFL. He may be the only small weak armed guy to be able to pull it off though, which makes him the exception that proves the rule.

I was thinking the same thing - Casey's catch was great concentration.

Kendal Smith was incredible and key early point of the game.

Yeah, but in the shoe you were like 250 yards away from the play.
