2. Sorry Freddy, but we need MN royalty when the players take the pitch. Enter Prince: Let's go Crazy Let's go Loons Lets go you Loons of Minnesota Until we sing that one last song, let's go
Lyrics for a Loons chant:
CAPO: 
Dearly Beloved
We are gathered here today
To watch this game called “soccer”


90 Minutes, plus stoppage
Stand all match, waive a scarf, and that’s a mighty long time.
But I'm here to tell you there's something else:
The WONDERWALL

[drum beat begins]
And if [the Visitors] [try/tries] to bring you down 

Go Crazy!

*or sub in an opponent with 3 syllables, eg ‘the Timbers’, the WhiteCaps, the Sounders, LA team, Dylan Wolpers, etc.

ALL:
Let's go Crazy
Let's go Loons
Lets go you Loons of Minnesota
Until we sing that one last song, let's go


CAPO: 
Are we gonna let [The Visitors] bring us down?


ALL:
Oh no, lets go

Let's go Crazy
Let's go Loons
Lets go you Loons of Minnesota
Until we sing that one last song, let's go

Added last night's result to this table. Loons only have 2 wins all season when Trapp starts. Last night I thought he had a good game and it wasn't necessarily on him. But its a pattern. Maybe we need Trapp to close out matches more fresh. We need to see see Gene/Triantis from the start again.

I never noticed the Bathrobe Lady that February morning. A friend recently asked me, with State Fair Crop Art on his mind, if I had a photo of the photographer taking the photo. It turns out I was taking a video at the exact moment the iconic photo was taken by @leilanavidi.bsky.social 1/3

eek we lost the XG as well as the match. Wasn't a good one. At least I didn't walk into Allianz last nice with expectations. Thank the Prediction Matrix!

WIP drafts of the Loons prediction tree say 3-1 Loons. Its pretty simple criteria. Does the opponent want the ball? Yes Are they at Allianz? No. Signing Wonderwall late tonight.
Scrawlings of a mad man. Handdrawn decision trees that all say the same thing. The Loons are better on the road because they get to sit behind the ball.

99! (and I feel like I've made better teams since, but those usually end up as 85s)

I rode RAGBRAI last week! The new MN flag makes for an awesome bike kit and made it so easy to spot folks and start conversations with fellow MN riders throughout the ride. Met some cool people. Fun Ride. AMA!

Montreal #3 World Cup matches are easy to find. Enterprising small business owners with no parking turn TVs into the sidewalk or plaza and get people to watch the matches. Montreal has a lovely vibe.

yes! I've thought about "Closing Time" before. Although for Prince, I'd suggest "Lets go Crazy" more as a pregame anthem...

I've been thinking too much about MLS structure when I'm drawing on maps trying to figure out the divisions. 6 teams in 5 divisions. Here are the 3 most chaotic ways that will likely be what MLS picks: 1. N to S 2. AL, NL, and/or AAA host city/region 3. Starting in the middle

Counterpoint: June 2024 MNUFC Results. We aren't going to miss it. This stretch without healthy DSC, Lod, Kervin, Rosales, Harvey, was just too much depth to lose. But if we had the players, would we have had more home playoffs? CCC? We'll never know.

Biked to Hastings and back today. Lovely trail. Very scenic between Rosemount and Hastings. Saw bison!?!? Harder than riding to Stillwater, but I really enjoyed it. Fully paved, 50% is new pavement, but it's also very hilly south of 494. Will do again.
