Don Hansen is weighing in for his preseason picks, with SJU at #3 and Concordia at #15.

PM,
I'm currently on a 2 month break until Sept 4th when I start rotations. This means I get to play "househusband" as Mrs KR calls it. How are things in your neck of the woods?

Don Hansen knows as much about evaluating D3 football as TDT does about evaluating females. Did he at least spell all the school names right this year?

A man boards an airliner, takes his seat, and is surprised to find a large purple parrot in the seat next to him.

The aircraft takes off and a pretty flight attendant walks down the aisle past the man and his seat mate.

"Hey, bitch," says the parrot, "bring me a whiskey and soda, and make it snappy!"

The FA looks annoyed, but walks on.  A minute later, she walks back up the aisle, and the parrot pipes up again:

"Dammit, you lazy whore, where's my whiskey?  Hurry it up!"

Visibly flustered, the FA hurries up the aisle and returns quickly with the parrot's drink.

Impressed with the parrot's technique, the man decides to get some quick service for himself.

"Hey, slut," says the man, "Get me a dry martini, and don't drag your sorry ass - I want it right now!"

The FA turns red with anger and runs to the front of the plane. In a moment she returns with the First Officer and two burly male flight attendants.

The crewmen seize the passenger and the parrot, jerk open the emergency door, and hurl them both out of the airplane at 20,000 feet.

As the two hurtle out the door, the parrot says to the man, "Ya know, for someone who can't fly, you got a lotta balls!"

I heard an interesting rumor from a current UWWhitewater student at the wedding I was at this weekend, supposedly Beaver is in danger of losing his starting spot.

The interesting part is it's not due to his off the field allegations but due to a stud transfer coming in from UW.

The guy who told me this is going to be a senior at UWW and lives with 3 football players, so I would assume this to be a relatively credible source.


Pat, BDB, FB413, anyone know anything on this?

KR, As noted earlier this Booker Stanley rumor keeps coming up in the WIAC.

Every time it does the Warhawk guys always say it ain't so.

I like Pat's comment on the situation. Who's to say he's any better than Beaver?

With just a couple of exceptions in regards to AQ, Don Hansens poll is pretty much last years 32 team playoff field.  I think the thought process went something like this.

"O.K., D3 poll time.  Mount Union won it all last year, they're number 1, Whitewater finished second so number 2, St. John's has this Gagliardi guy so they're number 3.  Oh crap, now what... Honey, grab me my hat and cut up last years D3 playoff bracket and throw all of those teams in the hat.  I'm just gonna pull the rest of this poll outta my butt."

I'm a firm believer that there's nothing better than a good beaver.

Oops.  Dang typos.  My bad.  Thanks for the corrections.  It has been corrected above.

KR, Sometimes when I throw one right in your wheelhouse, you can have a little pity on me and watch it go by. 

BDB, How did your baseball team do last night? I trust you got there early and got the proper dugout!

Thanks to Coach Fins' excellent advice I did arrive early as usual. Another dad and his son from my team were already there and they had their stuff on the wrong bench.

I let 'em know we are taking this other dugout!

Otherwise, it was hot but breezy, and our Cedar Corporation squad simply laid waste on the PC Doctors team.

I'm a powerhitter by nature, when it's in the wheelhouse, why not take it yard?

Now that Punto's hurt, Fins and I may need to lend a few players to the Twins to help them fill our their roster. 

On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly
140mph/225kmh in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago. Click on this:

One more injury and they may be dipping into our rosters. Just as well, beyond picking dugouts, I'm not that great at managing ballplayers. Hell, with 15 year olds, most of 'em are smarter than anyone else. Just ask them.  8)

+k for all, just for the hell of it.
