Thanks.  I needed a good laugh.

I laugh when I think of the Wartburg guys in the NFL.
Not to mention Gagliardi winners.

Coe guys can have all the individual success they want.  Wartburg will just have to settle for Iowa Conference championships, I guess.

Wartburg has 11 titles in how many years?  I'm sure it's more than the 10 of Coe.

Coe has 3 titles in 10 years of being in the league, along with a guy playing in the NFL. 

Fine we'll narrow it down to the years since Coe joined the IIAC.
Conference Championships:
Coe - 3 (all shared with another school)
Wartburg - 5 (3 outright)

If you burger guys are ever in So. Cal, try In-n- Out Burgers, never frozen, always fresh.  They are the best .

You could bring some with you this summer on your way to fishing with Klop!!!

Conference Championships:
Coe - 3 (all shared with another school) and one guy playing in the NFL and another is the starting quarterback for the Iowa Barnstormers.
Wartburg - 5 (3 outright)

There, I fixed it for you.

...and if you don't think playing for the Barnstormers is worthy of mention, there is another guy who started for the Barnstormers playing in a game this weekend that I bet you are going to watch.

The Barnstormers Kurt Warner played on and the Barnstormers Joe Brannen plays on are apples and cheeseburgers. Not even close to compare the two.

Maybe we could settle this with a snow football game between the alums on here from each school 

And by that I mean the alums of Coe and Wartburg...no way you are getting the 5 old Dubuque guys out of their warm houses in this kind of weather...or most any kind of weather for that matter.

Since Old Dutch or someone else asked for jokes recently.  Here is one I just saw. 

The Husband Store

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A store that sells 'New Husbands', has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance, there is also a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors, and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights! The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or they may choose to go up to the next floor, but they cannot go back down, except to exit the building.

So, a woman goes to the 'Husband Store' to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.

She's intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

'That's nice', she thinks, 'but I want more'!!

So she continues upward, to the third floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor, and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and
Help With Housework.

'Oh, mercy me', she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it' !!

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with
Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign
reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

FOLLOWUP NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a 'New Wives' store, just across the street !!!

The first floor has wives that love sex !!!

The second floor has wives that love sex, have money, and like beer !!!

The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, have never been visited !!!!!!!

They must not be putting much emphasis on reading comprehension at Coe these days.  Wait, this is Coe we're talking about.  Reading Comprehension is probably a graduate-level course.

All this food talk got me thinking.  Do teams put their players on any sort of diet while they are in school...or in season?  Or is it all just up to the players?  Just curious if the team bus pulls into a Taco Johns on the way over to a game and players load up on potato oles and stuff like that or if the coaches try to make players watch what they eat. 

no team goes to a crap restaurant like that before a game - after, maybe.  We would always eat breakfast as a team on Saturday mornings - players would eat what they wanted for the most part, and most are smart enough not to load up on the hot sauce before a game.  Most of the time, unless you are at a big school (Iowa) you are eating what every other student is eating in the cafe.  It's up to the athlete to choose what to put in their body - including food.

Careful Doolittle -- some of your UD brethren have yet to demonstrate their sense of humor. We would hate to offend.

Spaghetti
Jello
White Cake
Pancakes
in the caf for us pre game. Always without fail
Pizza on the bus after road games. 2 guys to a pie except on the way home from Dubuque where we stopped at the Knightliter
Home games it was usually off to Joes. Except at homecoming where we had brats and beer in the fieldhouse.

[dutchfan1]

If you burger guys are ever in So. Cal, try In-n- Out Burgers, never frozen, always fresh.  They are the best .

Agreed -- the Midwest doesn't have anything on In-n-Out Burgers.

Culver's isn't bad when I need a fast food fix (which isn't often these days.) Fast food = more time on the treadmill.

You guys ATE before games??? I'm a little jealous -- we didn't!!

I was going to ask if they took away the post game pizza if you lost...then I figured all of you would just say you can't remember ever losing a game while you were in school

Since that was from dutchfan1, I think I'm being included ... since at least a couple of you seem to think I am the nit picking old fart on here. 

Actually ... a wintertime IIAC alumni snow bowl might not be a bad idea.  Of course, I can say that because this time tomorrow I will be on the beach at Puerto Escondido, Mexico, drinking fresh margaritas and and soaking up the sun.

Adios.

GO SPARTANS!
