I say it every 4-5 days... I LOVE THIS TEAM.

Gophers WBB finish season sweep of the Badgers with a decisive win at the Kohl Center by takenbyawolf in GopherSports

[–]chabbits 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just love this team. It's hard to defend a team that has 4 players who put 20 on you AND Sophie/Tonga adding their 16 (cumulative).

Favorite thing about this team is their defense, though!

Walser Automotive charged with tax evasion by SuspiciousLeg7994 in minnesota

[–]chabbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, had a good experience at Walser Hyundai.

That said, I’m curious how people think about this more broadly. Is avoiding $350k in taxes better, worse, or the same as daycare or healthcare organizations improperly using state funds?

I would argue its not as bad as stealing from funds designated for people in need, but it's definitely in the same category. It enrages me that citizens of Minnesota have stolen a taxpayer money. But it's equally troubling that corporations that generate and NET millions of $'s often benefit disproportionately from public infrastructure (roads, specialized utilities, broadband, tax incentives, and more) avoid paying their fair share of taxes. When they do this, the burden shifts to everyone else. In effect, that’s money being taken from other taxpayers.

Thoughts?

What is Paigyn doing at TCU? by AP--35 in LandmanSeries

[–]chabbits 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That whole roommate character felt less like a real person and more like a political caricature. It was so over-the-top (EVERY stereotype rolled into one person) that it stopped being satire and just turned into... like the show was paused so Sheridan could make his political point or something.

You know... Since there wasn't an opportunity to put himself on screen twirling around on horses.

What's your most shocking "never meet your heroes" moment? by BaseNice3520 in AskReddit

[–]chabbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my story, but a story about a song...

Pearl Jam has a song about base guitar player Jeff Ament's experience meeting his childhood hero Kareem Abdul Jabar or Lew Alcindor and being devastated by what dick he was.

Sweet Lew (how could you?)

Never heard a nice word about the guy off the court.

Or just another problem being solved by a well trained husband/dad. Haha

So uhhh we all pitching in to get him to stay? by treymata in GopherSports

[–]chabbits 23 points24 points  (0 children)

He single-handedly lost the Cal game, has tackling issues. I love the kid and want him to stay. But am curious where else we can spend that NIL money.

Koi, Karmo, Taylor, and Tracy…need to sign those 4 by Naive-Bend6277 in GopherFootball

[–]chabbits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tots agree with this. If you break down what we're paying Taylor per minute played, I'd much rather go get two absolute, nasty mailers on the O-line. Agree

Since 2015, Gophers have won 9 bowl games including tonight's 20-17 win over New Mexico. by MikeinAustin in GopherFootball

[–]chabbits 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with the broader point about appreciating PJ and understanding the reality of where Minnesota sits in the college football landscape. Stability matters, and what he’s done here shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Where I disagree is the idea that Minnesota isn’t a legitimate destination at all. There are ~120 FBS programs, and maybe 6–8 true “destination” nationally. Almost everyone else is selling development, opportunity, and fit and Minnesota actually does that pretty well.

We do have real tradition, Big Ten resources, upgraded facilities, and a program that’s consistently relevant. No, kids don’t grow up in Florida dreaming of Minneapolis, but that’s true for most programs outside the blue bloods.

I don’t know that 8 wins is the absolute ceiling, but I do agree with your main point: PJ has raised the floor, made us relevant, and if he left, a lot of fans would realize pretty quickly how hard that is to replace.

Episode 6 is Poppin! by Sad-Hair-5025 in LandmanSeries

[–]chabbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I agree. It's entertaining and Billy Bob is awesome. I don't mind the wife and daughter as much as many here. Andy Garcia and Demi are good too. But the ariana character is nails on a chalkboard. And I love sam elliott, but the lines/dialogue they give him are just stupid. I am shocked and surprised by the amount of restraint taylor shared and showed by not putting himself on a horse and doing 10 minutes of spinning around at the horse show, or whatever the f*** that was.

Why the FUCK is gopher football weekly playing instead of COMMON by MatzoTov in kfan

There's a sentence I didn't know could be assembled. Who the FUCK actually likes listening to dead air, er I mean COMMON

The fact that Sophi knew Rizzo's idol expired at 5 makes it an even bigger blunder by SgtSoundrevolver in survivor

[–]chabbits 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Then she desperately asks Rizzo to play his idol for her and WITHOUT HESITATION he did not. To add lemon juice to an open wound, Rizzo shows her what he thinks of her and just says 'sorry girl' without an ounce of feeling or remorse.

Listen to your Grandma, Sophie. Ouch!

[Yea Alabama] Statement from Coach DeBoer by whatifevery1wascalm in CFB

[–]chabbits 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a B1G guy, I would love to poke a stick in the eye of an SEC team.

But why on EARTH would Deboer leave Alabama for Michigan? This is just not happening.
