For the past decade or more, Amy Brendmoen has watched one eatery after another struggle to make money at the Como Lakeside Pavilion, even as many thousands of visitors each year walk, jog, bike or paddle around Como Lake.St. Paul City Council president Amy Brendmoen. (John Autey / Pioneer Press)Brendmoen, who lives just off the lake, is St. Paul City Council president and the wife of former St. Paul Parks and Rec Director Mike Hahm. If anyone should have inside knowledge about the city-owned pavilion’s promise and challenges, it would be her.As Brendmoen sees it, the problem hasn’t been the seasonal and year-round vendors who contract at the site.

FORT COLLINS — For Colorado State to achieve its bowl dreams this year, the Rams are going to have to pass-block.CSU gave up 59 sacks for 399 yards last year, with both marks the worst among 131 FBS teams, and quarterback Clay Millen was pummeled 55 times as the Rams’ leaky front allowed 4.92 sacks per game.Thus, coach Jay Norvell and his staff made revamping the offensive line a top priority this offseason, with CSU turning to mostly new faces up front ahead of its season opener against Washington State on Sept. 2 at Canvas Stadium.“If a program’s not winning, they’re usually not very good on the offensive line,” Norvell said. “Let’s be honest, that was the case here.
