[24valvenotak]

No the owner's fault. We finished with the best record in the West with less talent last year.

How much are you willing to bet that 1.9 billion dollars did not come from owning the timberwolves?

paper company based out of Mankato.
Look at Red McCombs...he bought the Vikings for $245 million and sold for well over $600 million.
Sports teams they may not be huge revenue producers but equity multiplies quickly.

uuh exactly, how much money was made while he was the owner? probably little to none in terms what he payed for it. He didnt see any money until he held on to it for years and then sold it. A guy owns the Timberwolves and has a net worth of 1.9 billion...so what. He didnt get rich buying the Timberwolves.

So, what are you gonna do with 1.9 billion? thats to much you couldnt do anything else. so why not own a professional sports team and have some fun with it?

[24valvenotak]

thats what im saying...you dont buy a sports team to get rich

you buy a sports team because you already are rich and dont care what you do with 100 million dollars.

edit\ thats a page and a half of whoring over the economics of owning a professional sports team

i looked at the paper today, it said

fargo south 6 bismarck century 5.
Shots on goal 48 for south, 12 for century. Thats fuckin pathetic.

Imagine if moorhead was in ND. We'd be on atleast a 13-peat right now.

Yeah that game was unreal..they were neck and neck the entire time!
Good luck to the spuds..
I am judging the spirit award at the State Hockey tourny's here so I've been sitting at the ralph from 11:30-10:30 yestarday and I still have 2 more games to go today... so far the games have been pretty good...

I have to agree, basektball sucks around here, I'd take hockey for baskeball anyday!

[Guest]

Ok, I'm going to agree, MN hockey is where its at. Also, Class A basketball in ND sucks ass, if you want to see decent ND basketball, Class B is what you want to watch. There's a reason that Class B BB in ND outsells Class A, the product is that much better, and who doesn't like the underdog story of tiny little towns w/ 8 guys in HS, all of which are in BB, when they go make a run at the state title against teams like Minot Ryan and other big schools?

[24valvenotak]
