What did I tell you guys! Good luck Dawn. It will be fun to watch her as long as we keep beating them. Thankful we still have AJ!!!!

AJ has played a big role into this, obviously
i am not saying we would beat them all the time or even be favorites in some / plenty of cases
but FB, MBB, baseball, softball, volleyball, wrestling, soccer, maybe / probably some others i am forgetting? we would and do compete with them in any of those. WBB is way better. i dont know how their T & F, and XC are?? obviously ours are pretty good in the world we live in
i think it is not an unreasonable argument to say that the only advantage they have over us is they are in BIG 10
OBVIOUSLY we wont be getting an invite for that any time soon (probably ever) but if you put us in that conference next year we would surpass UM in FB and both BB somewhere between immediately and a few years

always interesting to see someone's first post, but you cant have 1000 posts without having one first)) welcome aboard!! we can definitely use more voices and more conversation here
are you suggesting that he would continue to live in brookings and they would fly him back and forth every day for practice, etc...?? that is a very green plan))) supposedly the state of MN cares about that. more importantly for AJ who has always been about community and become much a part of the brookings community that would REALLY seem to make him a hired gun who is NOT part of the community. seems a lot less than ideal for him and the school and pretty much everyone involved. i can imagine something like this could happn somewhere i guess. are you aware of it??
as i have said many times and from the beginning! not trying to be dumb about this!! things happen! but 3x the money in MN is not 3x the money in brookings! how many Xx is the cost to live?? and the non monetary costs? beyond obviously i cannot speak for AJ and his family!!!!! but with everything else he has going on, i think it is a fair question if 3x the money is really head turning money
FWIW i would not leave the relationships i have where i am at to live in minneapolis for 3x the money. i recently considered a move to northern california for about 6x the money and decided all things considered i am better off where i am at. money is not everything to everyone, but i have no idea what the top priorities would be for AJ (no idea is probably strong. i probably have some guesses but few facts!!)

AJ should be their first call but they’ve passed on him before because of his gender and they may do it again. Their loss!
