For my St Paul people! I remain skeptical as a whole but that does not deny the fact that the new arena is absolutely incredible & should be the gold standard for any small liberal arts college

Like, the last 48 hours were better for us than any time outside of”immediate ea sports CFB 25” news from the last two years, and all I REALLY feel is “that’s neat I hope don’t fuck it up” which I don’t think is what’s supposed to happen?

In the early days of Extra Points, I felt like there was almost nothing better than the dopamine hit of “revenue line go up.”

Now, the fear of “line go down?” Hits SO much harder than the joy of “line go up.” Not sure if that’s a sign of business maturation, a need to increase my dosage or what

My mom’s dad had a 4th grade education and mostly drove trucks for a living. My dad’s dad was an insurance salesman, a rancher, and helped teach developing countries about modern agriculture techniques once he retired.
