Kalen DeBoer's new bag & sports bucket lists — Is the NFL Draft on ours? It's Thirsty Thursday with John and Trent from Orion Pub!

It's NFL Draft Day... Yay!   Right?   Nah.   Not for the two merry hosts of Happy Hour on Thirsty Thursday. Not when trusted NFL Draft analysts consider this a weak Draft class, particularly for quarterbacks.   So instead, today's Miller Lite-inspired NFL Draft topic: Is that Times Square New Year's Eve tailgating football block party full of drunken die-hards lustily booing or bellowing glee with each Roger Goodell announcement you'll see on TV the next few days a sports bucket list item of yours?   If not, what is? And, which sports buckets have you crossed off your list?   Over pints at the Orion Pub, the two well-traveled Happy Hour Thirsty Thursday hosts rattle off their lists and share stories of the buckets they've crossed off. Together, this include a World Series game, a drunken mud-sliding Kentucky Derby, Tiger Woods dominating a U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in his prime, a weird Orange Bowl and a wild Fiesta Bowl in national championship games, and several SEC stadiums.   Somehow, the Corn Palace and its South Dakota Bucket List appeal (or not) weaves into this discussion.   Speaking of the SEC, South Dakota's own Kalen DeBoer has been the talk of college football after signing a whopping seven-year contract extension with Alabama for $12.5 million per year, making him the fourth highest paid coach in the country? Does he deserve it? Surely, a lively topic at bar stools where the Tides roll and beyond, including the Orion Pub.   But first, stories about culture clashes between music crowds at concerts with oddball pairings — like the time Snoop Dogg came to Sioux Falls and performed right after a B-list country act. Or when Santana opened for Rod Stewart. Guess who the elderly ladies in sequins came to see?   Cheers!
