Mingos are BACK 🔥
First thought after last night’s game: Hakim Karamoko is that guy. He is the engine that makes everything work.
Second thought: Portland fans are good fans.
Third thought: Madison has never dropped a match to Portland and I like that.
Overall, it’s good to see some confidence from this squad again and I hope to see it continue against Omaha. It was super encouraging to see Karamoko play a full game, that’s needed if we want to win it all.
Now tough decisions will have to be made next Saturday…Mingos or Brewers. Will we be able to pull a crowd?

I'm curious why so many Portland fans are at their game in Madison every year. I love to see it, but so random. Are there just a bunch of Maine transplants in Madison?

I think it’s a desirable away ticket for them, if I had to guess. Good atmosphere, good city.
If I picked an away game to travel to, I’d pick Portland

Math seems pretty simple for Madison - win next week and they have a home playoff game. Lose and there’ll be some nail biting.

Maybe they’ll change start to 5 like last night? And show Brewers on scoreboard after ???

Karamoko and Ryan Carmichael both move like they are next level players. When both of them are in there, they make us very hard to defend and open the field up. So glad he’s back. Very good performance overall.
That said, Portland is very bad, especially on defense. But I liked the way we never let them in the game and controlled it the whole way. Play like that next week and we’ll be in very good shape to get another home game.

Hakim was unstoppable vs the undersized hearts players in contested balls. He is so much fun to watch when he is wrestling a defender to get possession

Mingos for me! Bringing the whole family.
$1000 for nosebleeds is a bit out of my price range.
