Looks like Hoag was cut by the Jags.  I think the 50 yard TD that troy williamson actually caught sealed the deal.  I would have to think that the window is all but closed for him.

Horace Gant was also cut by the Redskins.

Working on Saturdays is going to be the bane to my existence

So I made my first trip to Canterbury Park last night and it was fantastic...I will definitely be going back there.  Nothing like putting $8 to win on a longshot on your first bet and winning $107.

I was surprised, but not shocked that Coach Schoenebeck announced his resignation.  He was definitely the epitomy of class and he definitely brough the program back to respectability.  I hope the team can bring him a conference championship in his final season.  It would be a great way to go out.

Word on the street is that the replacement list is short and my money would be on Coach Brown taking over the reins.

Illinois Man Arrested After Sending Two Hostages on Beer Run
Wednesday, August 27, 2008

FORT MADISON, Iowa —

An Illinois man who police say held five people hostage in a Fort Madison motel was arrested after he sent two of his hostages on a beer run.

Police say 33-year-old Jason Slagel, of Moline, Ill., is charged with five counts of false imprisonment and going armed with intent. They say Slagel pulled a knife during an argument Tuesday night with another man and told the people in the room that they wouldn't be allowed to leave.

One man was cut and Slagel had a cut on his hand, but police say the injuries weren't serious.

Police say that after awhile, Slagel got thirsty and sent two of his hostages out for beer.

After the hostages left, they called police and Slagel was arrested without incident.

Man Builds 5-Seat, Keg-Outfitted Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
Wednesday, August 27, 2008


A Wisconsin man has proven that bigger sometimes is badder, at least where Harleys are concerned.

Steve "Doc" Hopkins of Shawano, Wis., has created a five-seat, four-engine Harley-Davidson motorcycle for the company's 105th anniversary parade this weekend in Milwaukee, MyFOXNEWisconsin.com reports.

"I think it's probably more the novelty than anything — just getting four engines all to run in unison and together with the belts and the sound," Hopkins told MyFOXNEWisconsin.com.

It took Hopkins, the owner of a Harley dealership in Bonduel, only 17 days to construct the hog using four 1950s flathead engines, spare Harley parts, metal tubing and a beer keg.

"Just a Hamm's tapper," Hopkins told the station. "I got that at the Shawano flea market."

The project came as no surprise to his wife, Rhonda. After all, Hopkins spent five months last year building a pirate ship.

"He's always inventive, always doing crazy things," she told MyFOXNEWisconsin.com. "I wake up in the morning and I think, 'Oh boy, what's he going to tell me today?'"

It's still a bit rough starting the four-engine bike, but Hopkins has high hopes for the ride Saturday to Milwaukee for the big celebration.

"I have big expectations for it," he said. "I hope it makes it through the parade. It should be fun."

Well it appears that 100% of the voters are on board with the Gusties taking the MIAC this year.

We are all (well some of us) waiting to hear who won the All MIACPP Open.
including:
Most balls lost
Most Hamms drunk
Shortest drive


Most balls lost:  Veek with over 20
Most Hamm's drunk - Not TDT who came with zero
Shortest drive - finsleft with a whiff and another whiff where the ball fell off the tee 6 inches.

Could be an interesting evening tonight folks. It seems that this is reunion weekend at CSB, and lots of old hens from ROR's class have pre-registered. I plan on setting up shop at the LaPlayette tonight in case any of them wander in, I can check out how gray their hair is, etc. Many alums from later years will, no doubt, be exposed to the Finsleft wit and charm (which always seems to turn up a notch at the La).



fins, maybe you should put up a sign like this at your table tonight.  ;D



And wear this shirt.  SAYS NO FAT CHICKS

I used to have this shirt...it went over hilariously...then one day it mysteriously disappeared
