PH, Stand by, your probably 20-30 snow events before we're at spring practice.

[Mr. Ypsi]

PH,

Are you investigating how many rub-it-in SoCal weather posts you can make during midwestern blizzards and still retain positive karma?

Here in SE Michigan we had roughly 8", but high winds - I had about a 30" drift all down the middle of my driveway.  Nonetheless, I didn't ding you - yet!   [It helps that I have a teenaged son, so I only had to nag (and pay), not shovel! ]

Time is running out to joing the IIAC Forever group on "College Bowl Mania."

So far we have 8 who have joined the group: 

two UD fans ... doolittledog and yours truly (signed on as UD Spartans)

one Luther fan ...Thunderbolt

one Coe fan ... The Mayne Event

and 4 Wartburg fans ... SportKnight, Mott, Knightlife06 and Orange and Black Attack.

To join the group, try this link ... http://games.espn.go.com/bowlmania/frontpage.  If that doesn't work, go to espn.com and click on College FB ... then look down the right-hand side of the page and click on "Bowl Mania." 

When you are at the sign-up page, if you haven't registered with ESPN before, you will have to do so now ... its free!

Once you are registered, click on "Join a Group" and search for IIAC Forever.  In order to join that group, you will need to use the password:  IIAC'08.

You have until the 11 a.m. opening kickoff of the EagleBank Bowl tomorrow (Saturday) to sign up ... after that, the groups are "locked" and no one gets in late.

Will fans from Cornell, Simpson, Central, BV and Loras get left out?

The Show has joined up, representing BV if I have my loyalties straight.

Anyone else want to join ... follow the above directions.

Right!  Remember your property costs less too.  I have to pay for this better weather.

I like the snow and all but I should be in Oceanside right now. Instead, I'm stuck in Eastern Iowa for two more days.

ISU Cyclones hire Auburn DC and Ankeny native Paul Rhoads as HC.  Once UD got Zwiefel the Cyclones options were limited
