FB: American Rivers Conference

[Walston Hoover]

The Wartburg business class had a seminar set up several years ago when I was in school and the Hooter founders were set to be the key speakers.
A few female faculty members happened to be the loudest to complain and the event never took place.
Such a shame, I heard they were giving out free calendars and what college kid can't use a calendar.

Its not hate for Iowa, just jealousy!

I realized my mistake later after that post. So whoever it is that wins the West will host the semifinal because we are the 2 seed correct?

No. If the 1 seed advances out of the South bracket, you travel there. If the same seed out of each bracket advances to the semifinals, that's the only time the bracket's own seed gets taken into consideration.

So the bracket seeding really doesnt matter then? Its the higher seed out of their individual bracket, that would be the host?

DF1: T-24 hours til the freight train rolls into town ready to smash the Dutch and send them home begging...

TDT -- in your dreams. By the way, we've alerted the Pella Police, the Marion County Sheriff, and the Iowa State Trooper force of your impending arrival. All authorities are on the look out for your shenanigans....

Begging in Pella would be futile.  The only thing more difficult than getting pennies from the thrifty townsmen is scoring points against the Dutch in Schipper Stadium.

Tell them to keep their eyes peeled for a guy in a pink sweater driving an Escalade with MN personalized plate MAMA'S BOY.

Already did -- they have an APB out already. Best of luck TDT -- hope you make it to the game afterall.

Good luck to the Dutch this weekend.  Represent and show them what the Iowa Conference is all about

Good luck to Central, and congratulations on making it back into the playoffs after a dry spell.  I wish we could be at the game to meet KR and see Dutchfan1 again. Does she get to be on the sidelines, I wonder?

Enjoy your day, everyone. We'll be keeping track of the game from our computers.

The Wartburg business class had a seminar set up several years ago when I was in school and the Hooter founders were set to be the key speakers.
A few female faculty members happened to be the loudest to complain and the event never took place.
Such a shame, I heard they were giving out free calendars and what college kid can't use a calendar.

And what a mess this could have caused for future gifts to the college.  All they were going to do was have a discussion with students about marketing.  They do nothing illegal. They simply do a better job of selling beer and hot wings than most places.  Your hometown should be the last place you should have to justify yourself.

My position at the time was that  President O should have told the few whiny staff  to shut the hell up.  

Business students had worked hard to get this program put together.  Little Warthog's friend, Phi Slama, was very upset.  She was a marketing major and had devoted a bunch of time to get this put together.  She would have kicked some serious sociology professor ass had she had the opportunity.  It may have been a social work prof.  I remember at the time it was one of those majors where the real world seldom touches the ideal world and the term "ideal world" is defined only by fringe kooks.

At least one of the founders is listed as a member of the Booster Club in the football program.  Hopefully they realize most Wartburg faculty, alums and students don't consider orange shorts and attractive servers to be a threat to the American way of life.  In fact I try my best to "Be Orange" every time I visit the Quad-Cities Hooters.

coco,

We were there last year.  We were hoping for a game with Linfield last year but UWW was just to tuff as you found out.

[DutchFan2004]

Is that the reason for the orange shorts?  Are they alums of Wartburg as well?

[doolittledog]

Good luck to the Dutch this weekend.  We will listen to the game over the internet while we celebrate our daughters 5th birthday.  My wife was saying that after a few years off with the little ones, we will have to start back up with going to at least 1 IIAC game every year.  We have been to all the local ones, so now will probably venture out to the west now.  With family in Des Moines I would think Central and Simpson will be our next destinations.  BV I think will be last.  If they ever schedule Northwestern that would probably get us out there since my wife went there. 

Once again good luck to the Dutch and we will be rooting them on from our home this weekend.

It has something to do with the smell of Nestle' hot chocolate that hangs in the air around the Wartburg campus.  Once you catch a whiff of  powdered chocolate  on a cool autumn morning it is like meth.  You become hooked and soon you know that "Be Orange" is more than a saying, it is a way of life.

For all those interested, one of the ex-wives of one of the founders of Hooters started up a very nice establishment in Waverly not too long ago... The Fainting Goat.  I believe she has already been slated to come in and talk about her experiences in both restaurants... but don't quote me on that.

I am only 4 hours away from tasty tasty wings and boob... BEERS!!!!  I MEAN BEERS!!!!  Long weeks at work cause TOO much stress... I start saying weird words when I mean beers!!!
