PaulOttCarruth Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 2V, against my better judgement, I'm in. Lord knows this little get together could use a voice of reason (aka a Packer fan's voice) to provide a reality check for all the Viking fans with their annual delusions of grandeur.

SeductiveNun Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I would truly love to be there, but I'll be at the family cabin in Effie, MN that week. I'll hoist a few up there though and maybe I can catch you at the UFF-DA draft this year. (Did I mention I'm the defending champion?)

Puddy Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Puddy- Allow myself to introduce... myself. I joined the Huddle staff in April and am trying to use the dead zone before the drafts start to get to know the regulars. As there seemed to be an inordinate number of Minnesotans, and that being where I'm based, it seemed logical to hook up for a beverage and some general swapping of football knowledge. And if there's one thing I've learned in my brief time here, it's that the proper term is "ghey". 2V Ahh....that explains it well enough. You didn't kill Dr. Phil and take his spot did you. Enjoy your beers with your fellow Vikings fans. It's definitely wise to start drinking now in order to stomach watching Tavaris Jackson this year.

It's definitely wise to start drinking now in order to stomach watching Tavaris Jackson this year. No doctors were harmed in the making of this website. And despite Jared Allen's assertions about his 20 months of sobriety, I agree that it's not difficult to see TJax single-handedly knocking him off the wagon. Let me stress that you don't have to be a Vikings fan to come hang with us, though given the local I'm sure the purple kool-aid will be flowing freely. The only prerequisite is Huddler-hood, which implies a serious interest in fantasy football. And if the date I tossed out is an obstacle I am more than willing to shuffle things around. Tuesdays and Thursdays in July will be tricky as I spend those evenings extending my five-year unbeaten streak as a t-ball coach. It helps that we don't keep score. But Mondays and Wednesdays starting in mid-July are pretty open, and August is mostly open up until the drafts start filling up the schedule. Like I said, I'm open to moving this bit around the Twin Cities and having it be a semi-regular happenstance. 2V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably open up with some Lions jokes then see if there's time left to talk about anything else.

j2v Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm may have to report you to a higher authority. link No! Not to Souch! I'll plead my case. There will be plenty of time for them to get their I Tried trophies in Class A, Class AA, Class AAA, Class AAAA, etc. when they get to high school. The goal for the 4- and 5- year olds is to keep them from getting hurt, to have them run the bases in the right direction, to get them to use the bats on the t-balls instead of each other, to prevent them from eating sand, etc. By the time they move up to coach-pitch in first grade they're already tracking the score in their heads anyway. Besides, my knowledge of baseball is such that t-ball is about the highest level I'm willing to coach. Now when my son moves up from flag to tackle football this year, I'll be right there on the sidelines in my windbreaker and headset for a fourth consecutive season. I hope the third graders can pick up on the zone blocking scheme we're instituting this year. 2V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 My boys wrestled when they were young. My youngest son, was in kindergarten when he wrestled. One time we went to a tournament where they didn't keep score and after the match, they called both wrestlers winners. He was po'd for a month because he beat the crap out of the other kid. Some kids come off the mat after losing their match smiling because they were just having fun anyway. That was never the case with my kids.

twiley Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 maybe there's already a semi-regular Huddle happening and I just need to finagle myself an invite. It's called WCOFF. Get a plane ticket and join in on the debauchery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm open to moving this bit around the Twin Cities and having it be a semi-regular happenstance. 2V I was not able to make it last year, but not only the UFF-DA draft, they all got together late fall on a Sunday to watch Football. I am sure we'll be doing it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Scorp Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 j2V, I'll be at the UFFDA draft, but very difficult for me to get from Brainerd to metro on week night. July is very busy for me as I coach 9-10 year old baseball on Tues/Thurs and my 4 year old has T-Ball on M/W. Might be able to swing something later this fall though. Would be great to get together and watcha game at a local establishment!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I won't be able to make it I just found out today that our corporate golf tournament is on the 21st. I am off the last half of July, so any other day might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2v Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 As it turns out the 21st conflicts with me as well, so I'll toss out a new date of Wednesday July 23 to see if that works. I know weeknights will be tricky for those not in the immediate Twin Cities area, so maybe we can set up something on a weekend--perhaps in conjunction with the radio show on Saturdays on KFAN. I know we did an event out at Canterbury Park after one of the shows, and if there's another one of those in the offing maybe I can get a reserved "Huddle" section for co-mingling. Same goes for the annual fantasy football forum I do with the FAN affiliate in St. Cloud; that's usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday in late August at G. Allen's in Sartell. And as been mentioned here, there's the UFF-DA draft and who knows what else leading up to the season. Open to suggestions. To repeat: new proposed date & time is Wednesday July 23, starting around 6ish or so at the Buffalo Wild Wings in West St. Paul. We'll see if the new date/time works better. 2V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Heya, just checking in from a summer of baseball to see this crop up. I should be able to make the 23rd, wherever, in the Twin Cities. My baseball coaching season is over the 19th, and the wife, son and dog are going Upnorth for that week for vacation. As I don't have the extra time, I will be around and free for that date. Any inexpensive hotels close to Wild Wings there? I live out west of the Cities quite a ways, and don't want to drive drunk...keep me posted.

Bachi Boy Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I too am new to The Huddle. I am a defector from 2V's former employer's forums. Being I live in SE Minnesota, this would be a fun way to meet some of the forum's regulars. Just post a date, and I will try and make it. BW3's on Roberts St is an excellent idea. I love me some wings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'll be in Marinette for another week & then again in a few weeks if anyone is nearby. I won't have time to travel though, so you'd have to be nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
