dave 's Bio

I live in Minnesota so I am a huge Minnesota sports fan. My articles will consist on Minnesota. I am virtually on every day looking for new articles to comment on and new articles to write. Please read my articles and comment on them. If you like any of them go ahead and become a fan or if you disagree I'd be happy to reply to your comment.

Hey David,

Long time no see.

I just came out with my latest on the Gophers game against #8 Cal this weekend. Would love your input, still trying to become a featured columnist for the Gophers football team. Your input would be awesome! Thanks!

Hey Dave,

What's up man? Was hoping if I could get your insight on my latest article on the Minnesota Gopher football team. This is my second article in my attempt to be a featured columnist for the Gophers football team. Your insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey Dave,

Just thought I'd let you know that there seems to be something wrong with your most recent article on Rich Harden.

The article isn't calculating reads or letting people comment. I don't know what it is, but there seems to be something wrong with the page itself. When you open the article, it's a bunch of messed encryptions for a while before it gets to the actual article.

Maybe try to copy your article, delete the old one, and paste onto a new article. I've never seen this before, but I thought I'd let you know!
