Oh look at you, Mr. Jokester. You talk a big game. You don't want to get rid of Ponder's jersey, and you know it. I told you multiple times to give it to me. You never would. You secretly like him a little bit. You're just afraid to admit it. I get it. lol. But, you know what? There is a GOOD chance Ponder will be there. How about you bring your Ponder jersey and really do that. I wanna see how *big* you Ponder trash-talkers are in real life. lol. I bet it's all talk. :D I dare you! Come on. Make my day! :)

There you go. Missing a couple hours is harmless! I'm tellin' y'all--if it's half as fun as last year it'll be a blast. I think having two picks in the first round, with the possibility of moving around a bit too, makes it that much more exciting! I. Can. Not. Wait.

He might be a great person outside of football but on the field he reminds me of a wounded duck. I'm not going to bring the Ponder debate this time. But I was jokingly saying that Ponder is not worth VIP ticket value.

If we had not drafted Ponder when we did, we'd be screwed and probably forced to look at this years draft for a QB.

Geno makes alot more sense then Ponder, a projected 2nd-3rd rd pick. Whats he done that makes you think he was a better choice then what we could have had last year or this year?

Look at the 2nd and 3rd round for QB's and who was drafted last year. There's one viable starting QB, AND, would have we drafted him?

Look at the 2 QB's that were drafted ahead of Ponder the year before.

Sorry, but Geno dropping to us at #23 is not realistic, so we would then be forced to move up and make hime a franchise QB. Has ANY QB been given that tag in this years draft?

THAT'S my point.

BTW, I don't know where you remember this 2-3 rnd projections for Ponder.

Speaking of Ponder, everyone in the Red Zone got a free Ponder poster. :)

The Dome is filling up fast. I'll take some pictures, especially later on when it's really full.

So far, got Leber's autograph. :)

I'm pretty sure I have 2 draft party tickets at will call. dont know for sure yet. If somebody is interested in going, I can call and make sure they are there and change them to your name. I'm not totally sure yet though.

Settle down. This was about the draft PARTY--not just the draft. I wanted to see who was going to the party. Apparently not many did. It was a BLAST though.

I might post pictures tomorrow. I'm too pooped right now. lol.

Go Vikes!!! :v):
