September 10, 2001 - Former Cretin-Derham Hall quarterback Chris Weinke made a triumphant return to his hometown yesterday, leading the Carolina Panthers to 24 to 13 upset victory over the Vikings. Weinke passed for 223 yards in his first regular season NFL game. Vikings quarterback Duante Culpepper threw three interceptions and turned the ball over on a fumble. Wide receiver Randy Moss caught only one pass. Joining us now with his take on the game is Sean Jensen who covers the Vikings for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
September 6, 2001 - Republican State House majority leader Tim Pawlenty is running for governor. He made the announcement yesterday at the Croatian Hall in South St. Paul. He is now one of a growing number of candidates in a what could be a very unusual campaign. Governor Jesse Ventura says he wont announce whether he's running for reelection until next July. If he does run, the Democrats and Republicans will face the challenge of positioning themselves in a three-way race against an unconventional incumbant. At his campaign announcement yesterday Pawlenty set the tone for his candidacy. Joining us on the line with his perspective on the race is DFL political consultant Pat Forciea (for-SEE-ah).
