FB: American Rivers Conference

I agree with that too point too Walston, I guess I was inferring that you don't need to be balanced to be successful. I also agree with you that running trumps passing any day.  Dsquared when you have a brother on the team that says it's a botched snap, then it's a botched snap. From what I remember the holder had to leave the ground to catch the ball. The reason Wartburg guys were untouched that late is because they expected the ball to be in the air already.

DF1: Don't forget to bring 3 dozen Dutch letters for Johnnie Red as your sacrificial offering from Central when you come to Collegeville in a couple weeks...

Still in Floriday, TT?? What makes you think that I owe JR a sacraficial offering of any kind? From the sounds of things, he makes quite a bit of cash every weekend in his "donation" cup....he doesn't need my contribution. My presence and a Dutch victory will surely be enough.

DF1 you need to work on your self esteem.  I don't think you have enough self confidence.   

I think you could be right....my humility is overwhelming, I know.

Is it POSSIBLE that it could've been audibled in the course of the minutes that transpired while the refs and score keepers were trying to figure out the clock? 

Anyway, without belaboring the point too much more, on to the Simpson/Central rivalry.  It is nice to see that Central fans have to give Simpson so much crap.  All Simpson fans have to do is point and everyone gets the joke!!!  Windmills... tulips... wooden shoes... BARELY ANY BARS (haven't been in Pella for a few years, but I doubt this is different)... the city makes a joke of itself!!!

It's not really necessary.

I especially enjoy how SC includes Mt. Union in the same paragraph as themselves.

That is hilarious old beake... everyone look at that article and look at the Iowa Conference Stats section.  Here is the excerpt I'm talking about...

IOWA CONFERENCE STATS: Simpson is among the league leaders in the Iowa Conference statistical report (all games) released Oct. 30.
The Storm are the league leader in sacks with 25). Simpson is fourth in punting (35.6), fifth in scoring defense (19.9), fifth in pass efficiency defense (112.4), sixth in pass defense (183.2), sixth in rushing defense, and sixth in turnover margin (-1).
Simpson is seventh in total defense (333.8), seventh in punt return average (6.5), seventh in scoring (16.0), seventh in rushing offense (105.2), eighth in pass offense (139.1), eighth in kickoff returns (17.0), (150.5), eighth in total offense (244.4), and ninth in pass efficiency (83.7).

Since WHEN do we consider "among the league leaders" of the IIAC to be ANYTHING but the top 3?  We have 9 teams, and it's really easy to tier the league that way.  They are in the top tier of the IIAC in one category they list.  So... I take back my previous statement.  The city of Pella is easy to make fun of... but Simpson just brings on the taunts on their own.

DD-
I'm sorry to say I couldn't agree more....why does our SID publish this crap?!?!  Just shows how much our SID lacks true football knowledge.  Guess I'll be getting an email now from what I've read on here previously. 

To take a shot at Central....I'm not going to really worry about our program until Neimann gets the annointing oil out up in Hopper Gym before the game!!!

They're in the top ten?  That's good?  Hello?  Anyone?

I always heard that Coach Kac was a fan of Detroit Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers.  Too bad it never had the same effect.

[Storm-what?]

D-quared- thanks- it's just too easy to make fun of Pella.....

fan rex- I am a huge fan of the Simpson/Central rivalry, and it's as strong as ever- but c'mon- it's tough to talk too big with football right now. What am I going to say? "We're gonna come in there and kick some mighty windmill butt!!!." hmmmmm..... one can wish. I'm hanging my hat on some other sports this year. Rootin for the Storm, but not betting with 'em I guess. Don't get me wrong, I still think wooden shoes are goofy, tulips are overrated, and there's something creepy about the townfolk. It's kind of mix between Stepford Wives and Children of the Corn, or shall I say Children of the Tulips?

Honestly, I am realistic enough to believe Simpson probably won't win this weekend, but I do think it will be a decent game..... at least for 3 quarters! And hey, that may be just enough for me to make the trip.

[dutchfan1]

Hmm, yeah, Pella is going to be even more of a freak-show when the earth dome thing is built at Lake Red Rock. Seriously, Central fans make fun of Pella, too.... kind of sucks when the home team beats you to the punch, doesn't it?

OK, these are cheesy, but you made me do it:
What do you call an intelligent person in Bill Buxton Stadium?
A Visitor

What do you call a Storm fan with half a brain?
Gifted

What do you you get when you crossbreed Simpson football and a groundhog?
Six more weeks of bad football!

How do you get a Simpson grad off your porch?
Pay him for the pizza.

You're probably a Simpson fan if ...

... You can play the fight song using your armpit.

... Your wife's idea of cleaning house is throwing everything out into the yard.

... The Roto-Rooter man stops by your trailer and asks, "What's that smell?"

... You're in the Skoal Frequent Purchaser Program.

... You looked up your family tree, and your uncle spit on you.

... You joined Alcoholics Anonymous so you can drink and use a different name.

... You won't buy a foreign car because you're afraid you won't understand what they say on the radio.

... Your kids go to a private school, and they won't tell you where it is.

... Your Granny beats you in the tobacky spittin' contests.

What did the average Simpson player get on his ACT?
Drool.


Sorry -- I couldn't help it. Go Dutch!

One day a housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt.

Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to his wife, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"

"It depends," she replied. "What does it say on the shirt?"

He yelled back, "Simpson College."

"Use hot water, a box of Tide and four cups bleach."

[dutchfan1]

Two Simpson cheerleaders were reading their daily newspaper when one of them noticed a headline that read:

"TWO BRAZILIAN SOLDIERS KILLED"

She thought for a minute, and then whispered to her friend, "Psssst... how many is a brazilian?"

[dutchfan1]

A young man hired by a supermarket reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, "Your first job will be to sweep out the store."

"But I'm a Simpson graduate," the young man replied indignantly, "I even played football there!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom.  I'll show you how."

[Charlie Kohawk]

You're killin me Dutchfan1. "How many is a brazilian?" Seriously! Tears in my eyes from laughter.

[DutchHawk]

I wouldn't mind seeing that 201 games without being shutout streak come to an end Saturday Then maybe the SID release can read...201 plus games without being shut out to any school not named Central!
