Second the congrats to those Students!

It is what this level is all about.

Walston Hoover · November 14, 2006, 03:22:19 PM

I wonder if they get those cool fleece pullovers for making ESPN the magazine's team?

DutchHawk · November 14, 2006, 03:32:52 PM

They should at least get a year subscription!

lorbec47 · November 14, 2006, 04:04:52 PM

Does anyone know what those requirements for those student athletes was?

Dutch04, are we continuing the Pick 'Em contest through the playoff season? The west region could provide some interestng picks....

DF1: I don't remember having any run-ins with the Pella Po-Po...What are the plans for the weekend? Will there be lots of Central alums/students/parents tailgating? I just remember grilling and drinking with that fraternity near the field. I will speak with OAS and see if he is making the trip. Keep me posted.

I spoke with OAS last night -- he's a staunch Dutch supporter, by the way -- and he's not able to make the trip. I will, of course, be there will bells on. Knowing the BKE's, they will be there in full force, tailgating with the best of them. I won't make it to Pella until game day -- I'll be having bevys in Des Moines Friday night with my crew. When are you descending upon Iowa? (I need to know so that I can properly warn the officials this time!) Still wearing pink to every game?

DF1: Can we get a weather forecast for Saturday? Also, have u met my good friend Kilted Rat? He lives over by Drake U in Des Moines. Yes I wear my pink sweater to all COLD games. Might be hard to see on Saturday though, because my blood has thinned out and I will be bundled up with multiple coats/hats/gloves etc. to stay remotely warm.

DuffMan · November 14, 2006, 05:29:44 PM

Yeah, he wore a pick sweater last weekend, but the likes of TDT hadn't been seen in Collegeville since Labor Day prior to that.

TT -- I have not had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of KR. I've noticed on the MIAC board that he spends a considerable amount of time complaining about Iowa -- obviously someone I want to hang out with.

I'm sure I'll run into you at the game. Watch out for rent-a-cops.....public intoxication, though your natural state, is something that is frowned upon in Pella.

In addition to all the places to eat, a local favorite is the Pizza Ranch. I think they now start a buffet right after the games when at home. All you can eat pizza, broasted chicken, salad bar, ice cream, and deserts. I know it's been packed after all the home games.......no beer though, sorry Johnnies.

DutchFan2004 · November 14, 2006, 10:04:51 PM

Missed the 6 PM news but yesterday the forecast was for 46 and sunny with a few clouds. If the wind stays down that will be comfortable. I did last week in a hoody and it was in the 40's in Pella. Just depends on how much and how hard the wind is with that temp.

As for the rent a cops they won't hassle you to much I don't think as long as the beer cans are covered and you aren't making an A$$ of yourself.

DutchFan2004 · November 14, 2006, 10:21:42 PM

As far as the Pickems go if you want we can still do them. I will keep track of them. You guys say we can do the West or the whole bracket I don't care. What ever the group wants to do.

Df1 Mrs Dutchfan would like to meet you as would I Do you tailgate?
