LISTEDN TO BRUCE at 1:15 on AM 1500. he will be talking about the stadium, but hopefully get some stars mentions in.

Good job Bruce.

Favorite dumb question: "World Cup is not that far away..." Bruce: "...it's always around the corner for me"

It was a really solid interview; not to compare sports talk stations, but on the other one whenever soccer is the topic it always seems to be filled with "refresher courses" on just what soccer is. The interview with Bruce was filled with a good mix of questions and both Pat and Phil actually seemed prepped and prepared to have a talk with Bruce.

edit to add: yes they were wrong about number of teams in the league and how many millionaires but I don't think it took away from the talk

Good job Bruce. It's great to have your voice represent us.

I love Reusse.

I think Bruce has actually done quite a bit to turn the old curmudgeon into a little bit of a soccer fan.

P.S. I listened to the last four minutes of the radio program in front of my entire class. They seem to like Bruce's voice.

"Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Wild: The biggest losers"

... and no mention of the Stars. Shocking.

I emailed the writer and nicely included bunch of information about the team with a few photos, video, and offer for our supporter group free ticket/beer for newbies policy. Meh.

Pioneer Press finds a way to be even less relevant than the STrib.

I noticed that KARE11 is starting to flash the Stars scores on their "Scoreboard" before the sports segment on the news Saturday evenings.

Someone should invite Randy Shaver to a match. I can guarantee it that if you lie to him and tell him there is a BSM grad on the team he will show. #RandyIsADoucheBag

AM 1500 producer Dana Wessel is a huge soccer fan, loves Chelsea. Might be a good point of contact for Stars info.

For what it's worth, there have been blurbs about the Stars in the Pioneer Press twice this week. A note on Saturday that they tied Tampa, and then a brief today - with a picture no less - about the win over RSL. Granted it's a day late, and was a rehash of an AP story, but it's still nice to see as compared to the usual complete lack of anything. As a subscriber, I'm going to send them a note thanking them for that and asking for more of the same.

It's impossible to find those stories on the web site though, so that still sucks.

And yes, I know only losers and old fogeys continue to kill trees so that they can get their fingers dirty at breakfast reading the news. Now get off my damn lawn.
