Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

Northern has a history of winning in many sports, particularly in Basketball. It's my belief their football will improve. You cannot compare every program with Mankato. Nearly every NSIC school has weaknesses in athletics. The middle of nowhere narrative is baloney, not everyone wants to live in the congestion and crime in Minneapolis. Are all Minnesota towns and cities in the middle of somewhere? Is nowheresville reserved for North and South Dakota?

I was simply speaking about football in this situation.

You really took a lot out of that that I didn’t say!

Generalizing the Twin Cities is a bunch of lazy garbage. That said, your point isn't wrong that not everyone wants to live in the metro. It's why I chose MSU over Minnesota and UST.

To that extent, it won’t feel as good once Dakota State is involved.

I see what you did there, and I wanted you to know that I respect the joke lol even if it seems to have gone over most people's heads hahah

My statement was Minneapolis which has dramatically changed over the years. I'm not just a country guy having lived in NYC for 5 years back in the 80's when I wore a younger man's clothes. That is a line from a song Laker would know from our youth.

They’re sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it’s better than drinking alone…

Yes. It's called "flyover country" for a reason.

In all seriousness, my favorite band in high school had very strong ties to Mankato. They described it in an MTV interview as being the literal middle of nowhere. (They also said they loved the experience).

Green Day? They used to play there a ton since Billy Jo’s wife went to MSU and they were dating at the time.

Yes.

Billie Joe met Adrienne when she was a student at Hennepin Tech(?) at basement show in Dinkytown. She then enrolled at MSU, and he would book tours through the midwest to see her. Many years after they achieved fame, they were asked on MTV about their all-time favorite show - they all said the impromptu show at a farm in St. Peter was their favorite. It's crazy too because they've played MSG, CBGB's, 924 Gilman, etc., - yet that one was their favorite. The show was recorded and is on YouTube.

I've met Adrienne's brother a couple of times. I never asked about the band though. Didn't want to be "that" guy.

Kato was actually a small hub for some of the Bay Area bands of the early 1990s - AFI, NOFX, Rancid - etc. They all played at Marti's which is (was) on Front Street. It's now the Kato Escape room.

I have no idea how to tie this into the Jimmies, but I love talking about that unique scene and I almost never get too.

Very popular when I was an undergrad. Mike, one of the guys on our floor in Gage Hall met a gal named Gail and that was their favorite song. Came back after graduation for their wedding. Sadly, they later divorced- which reminds me of another one of his songs- "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" in the part of The Ballad of Brenda and Eddie.

I grew up in Mankato and was in HS in the mid to late 90s. There was an abnormal amount of t-shirts from these bands present. Ha.

I think it was maybe Tuesday night shows at Marti’s? I can’t recall exactly, been a year or two. But they certainly had some bands through there.

Yeah. It was a cool time (I'm told). Agent Orange played the What's Up when I was in college - which was the last great hurrah. Of course the What's Up shut down a few weeks ago.

The Offspring was the other big band to come through during thar time.

So is generalizing "the Dakotas", yet here we are 90 pages in.....
