FB: American Rivers Conference

[Klopenhiemer]

Spent some time at the Irish Democrat.  Nice place. 

Yes it is.  I was there for a lunch last week.  Probably hadn't been there in 5 or 6 years, but it is still a great spot with a lot of character.  From what I hear, it has been doing great since the smoking ban went into effect.  Apparently it could get pretty thick in there before last July

Spent a week in the Riviera Maya drinking, eating, and smoking cuban cigars. 

I'm very jealous of this segment of your trip.  At the same time, I'm very to have not gone through the headaches you had to.

End Note:  The book Boy Will be Boys is an outstanding reading choice for you football fans.  Its the true story of the Cowboys Dynasty in the 90's and how out of control everything was. 

Seconded.  Just finished it over the weekend.  Jeff Perlman did a great job of weaving the entertaining off the field stories in with the contentious on the field/front office issues.  It didn't seem like he got a lot of help from Jimmy Johnson, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, or Mike Irvin (can't say I'm surprised they didn't want to comment on a lot of the stuff mentioned).  That said, he made very good use of quotes from newspapers and other reports from back in the day to get a first-person account of some of the things that went on.  Very good read all the way around.

Off the record...I did manage to smuggle 25 back into the states, so I might be inclined to part ways with one for you this Christmas season.

i always go there with high hopes, but leave feeling unsatisfied (Russian accent ala Rounders).  They have probably the best (and possibly only) cheese wantons in the city.  I am, however, very excited for the Tilted Kilt that may finnaly open sometime (it's been pushed back roughly 3 months

I'd gladly take that as a substitute for the hot dogs you promised everyone earlier this fall.   

Also, isn't footballdaddy in the law enforcement industry in some capacity?  We better keep this on the DL.

" "This here was a team," Wartburg coach Rick Willis said. "They hung in there, stuck together and battled when things got tough. They responded in a way you'd hope a team would respond.

"They cared about each other and took seriously our responsibility to represent the Iowa Conference and Wartburg football. I'm proud of the way they did that.""

Sounds like what everyone on this board has said.

IIAC - Central College...and um, some other teams, apparently!!!


Ok, I promise to get serious about this now.

Actually Wartburg Fan is, but I know him personally. I'd think a cigar each could buy our silence!

Hmmm....I thought he was in the automotive industry.  But if you are around DM over the holiday season I am sure that we can set up a covert opperation.  We can call it operation Cuban Missile

Fixed it for you.

Off the top of my head, here are a few slogans for the IIACPP....

We can beat you on the field and you can beat us off!
IIAC = Central, Wartburg, and all those other guys (just kidding)
Free Beer in the Endzone, Go Team Go!
It doesn't matter who starts, but who can finish the game
Your Turf or Ours?
If you can't play nice, play football.
Is it Saturday yet?
D3 -- Small College, Big Dreams
When you lose say little....when you win say even less
We write the stories of the IIAC
Teams in the Cornfields

Yeah, sorry, these are all pretty cheesy....what can I say, I'm in Marketing....

Dutchfan1   Your first one made me laught out loud. That my pick (just joking) will ask for forgiveness Sunday. Outstanding (even for a Central fan  )

It's not in good taste, but it's all in good fun.

That sums up just about everyone here!
