I'll be at the Blue Goose on Saturday Night.

Hopefully some current players will be there at that time. Since Childress took over it's been less and less each year. Heath Farwell was the only current player I saw last year at the Goose.

This is a pic from a few years ago, now he's going to the Super Bowl.

Sounds like fun. What do you do there? Can you ride the snowmobiles? Can you bring your own snowmobile? Why isn't Jared Allen going to be there?
I want answers and I want them now.

I don't have snowmobiles, but I go to the Blue Goose on Saturday night. The place is packed elbow to elbow. They always add a "tent" to the back of the building to double it's size.

As for Jared Allen, good question, why isn't he going? Maybe his DWI problems prevent him from entering an alcohol establishment.
:P

Here's a few pics from years past.

In the last one with Mewelde Moore, he was firing up the croud saying that the next year we would go to the Super Bowl. It was pretty sweet at the time.
