Friday edition, Jack Michaels Show, Derek Hanson, coming to you live and direct from our studios, our Gunderson Jewelers studio.
It's funny, last week, it felt like it, last week, I don't know how everybody's different, but it felt like it flew.
were talking about it because it feels like it should be Labor Day weekend because, you know, we got all these college football games going on.
So it's week zero and then still some very important baseball games going on for the Red Hawks and Twins.
But doesn't it feel like it should be Labor Day weekend going into this weekend? Yeah.
Maybe it's because usually potato days in my hometown is the weekend before Labor Day weekend.
I'm glad you just laid that out because I feel that I just had a Thursday college game.
So as others did, as you mentioned it, it feels like today, I don't know what today is.
you've had two UND games in before Labor Day? That's got to be the first time ever, isn't it?
In fact, yesterday's game, and Noah Wanzek, who I think jumped on the broadcast, he's going to be helping us out this year.
You know, we got Coach Berg and Noah and all that, and it's a great crew, fun crew.
Noah told me yesterday, he goes, this is the second earliest game That North Dakota had opened up, and he goes, the earliest Danny Freund, Danny Freund, who's now the OC and former quarterback, maybe his freshman or sophomore year, and he threw five touchdown passes, but it was his earliest time ever opening.
Remember when Mr. October was a thing in baseball? But it's like some seasons are dripping later.
I still can't get past the fact sometimes we're in high school before the school's even in session.
You know, some sports programs have already had a meet or an event before they're even in physically... class yeah see that's
never been weird for me but north dakotans say that to me all the time but we've always not
had a game before school started for the first football game in minnesota has always been the friday before labor day and of course about 99 of the schools except for this year start after labor day in minnesota so
When I was younger, just summer was, you know, maybe we got done with Legion ball, had about a week and change, and then school, you know, depending on how far you went.
But, yeah, that was your summer was maybe a couple weeks off because if you played Legion baseball, that consumed your summer.
