I think this guy should take over for Gags when he retires...

Wow, what an intense coach!

Gagliaridi-esque?  What a twerp.  Throw him a helmt and pads and let him be the bull in the ring for a couple of practices (which I imagine is one of his main drills).  :P

Edit: Homage to Paul Harvey ("the rest of the story"), this coach just last month resigned his position after having been suspended.  Neither side admitted wrongdoing.  (Love that Google.)

G'nite from the left coast. :) In hommage to KR, +k to the last four pages - though it's the last for MR if he keeps up this Chuck Norris stuff.  He stunk when he was on television and, PTL, he isn't even on late night out here.  As an unnamed fellow poster observed, it's like Helen Keller jokes.  If I'm not getting something, MR, let me know.

Nice link CN.

Looks like my coach in HS. We sucked.

If my son ever has a coach like him I will kick his teeth in.

Thanks for no love BDB...I give the link, CN responds and you give all the props to him...I may be drunk and stupid, but I'm not...wait, I forgot where I was going with this...

But I have talked to several coaches that say playing soccer up until age 10 is perfect for any athelete going into any sport. It's all about the footwork apparently.

Anyway, my son's soccer team has all the guys he plays hockey with and they frick'n rock the soccer league.

Don't worry. He plays in all the football camps as well.

This is gonna put my on my soapbox.  Soccer is just fine for kids who end up in fb.  #2 son was one heck of a soccer player before starting Pop Warner in the 6th grade.  It's good for footwork, coordination and field awareness.  I'll add that lacrosse has many of the same benefits for football players, including footwork that's even closer to fb than soccer (squaring up, etc.).  I love football but there are other sports.


My son got so he hated soccer after playing it from age 5 or 6 until he was 10.  When I told his soccer coach that he was switching over to football, he said, "Thank God!  He has been trying to knock down kids on the soccer field for years!!"      ;D ;D
"Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!"  Dennis Miller

"Three things you don't want to be in football, slow, small and friendly!"  John Madden

"You can learn more character on the two-yard line than anywhere else in
life." Paul Dietzel / LSU

And, thanks for the link.  ;D

frankrickard, thanks for the reminder about how hot the Paris Hilton cd is. Yesterday I brought out the boombox in our office and played the Paris Hilton cd for my administrative staff, aka legal secretaries. The response was almost universal: "What the heck are you playing there, Mr. County Attorney? Is that Paris Hilton?" Do you think Amy Klobuchar would ever do this in her office? Then again, I'm not running for the U.S. Senate.

The fish of a thousand casts......

WARNING!  FISHING RANT!

Ahhh, finally.  A topic I know something about.  Humor me here for a minute...

Let me preface that by saying that for the last 7 or 8 years, I have fished solely for muskies from the first weekend in June through ice-up.  I have fished most of the Biggies in Ontario (LOTW, Eagle, Kakagi, Cliff) and Minnesota (Vermilion, Mille Lacs, NW angle/LOTW, Minnetonka, Alec Lakes, Twin Cities lakes) and even if we didn't catch fish every day or on every lake, there is always enough action from follows, suicidal pike and bass, etc.  This whole "fish of 10,000 casts" thing is way overplayed.  I know I've spent way too many fishless days bobbing around on Mille Lacs like a drenched retard waiting for a 14 inch walleye to bite so we can throw him in a bucket and get 6 oz. of meat off of the poor little feller.  Muskie fishing never feels like that at all.  (NOTE:  I am deathly allergic to fish so I don't eat them and really have no reason to keep a fish unless someone else expressly asks me to.  All my muskies go back.) 

At least with muskie fishing, it is active--you are constantly casting, following your lure as you retrieve it, can move from spot to spot if the fish aren't active, can fish deep, shallow, weeds, rocks, etc.  And when you catch one--especially a legal-sized fish--it feels like an accomplishment.  A lot better than catching a couple dozen bass or a limit of walleyes, especially when it's a 20+ pound fish that hits right next to the boat. 

When I bought my house, the proximity to a muskie lake was a pretty siginificant factor.  So yeah, say what you want about the endless hours of fruitless casting.  But if you haven't tried muskie fishing, give it an honest try.  You might like it!   (Actually, on second though, don't...  Muskie lakes are already way too crowded.)

Thanks for humoring me.

END OF FISHING RANT


You know what sounds like more fun than waiting in line for one of 600 "St. John's" tickets (what happens when Augsburg fans don't use all of theirs?) to watch them kick six kinds of dog crap out of a crappy team in a crappy stadium in a crappy part of town in (likely) crappy weather?

Yeah, pretty much anything.  I might actually do some yard work this Saturday.  Yuck.

Even with SJU/AUG on the schedule, there are a ton of good college games this weekend, top to bottom.  Although I do feel a little odd caring more about CC/BU and Linfield/Hardin-Simmons than LSU/Auburn or Notre Dame/Michigan...

I'm really suprised no one is talking about THE REAL GAME OF THE WEEK.  I thought that UMAC board would be whipped into a frenzy at this point.  I know I've been in close contact with my bookie all week.  So tell us, AO, who wins the Battle for the Tallest Midget in the Circus--Northwestern or Rockford?

Don't feel weird. This is a good thing. :)

Re: soccer

Fins, Jr. calls me from SJU last night to tell me his team won their 1st soccer game yesterday. Huh? What? Turns out he and his buds put an intramural team together and, as he said, "beat the Mexicans".
He played one year when he was 6 and every year since then I've taken him and his brothers out for an annual "Thank You For Not Making Me Watch You Play Soccer" dinner.
I asked him if his team swarmed like bees around the ball like the team did when he was little. He said "no, I'm a lot smarter now. I just stood in one place and waited for someone to kick it to me."

Soccer is sweet. It was the first sport I officially played as a young elementary schooler, though I quit when I sucked after 8th grade to play concentrate on football and basketball.

On a Liriano note...no tear? No new damage? Hey Frank, is it possible he just has plantar vaginas of the arm? Do we need to give him a pep talk on sucking it up before the playoffs start?
I don't hate Duke. I just hate all their players, coaches and fans.

At least he doesn't have a tummy ache like Silva.

Have the Twins officially said that Liriano is out for the season?

Got a response from the Peter Hutchinson for Governor camp this morning. He and/or Maureen Reed, the Independent Party candidate for Lt. Governor, will be in attendance for the Stiftungsfestivities in honor of Eugene McCarthy and Paul Wellstone when Carleton comes to town on September 30 for Homecoming weekend. Now if we can only get Michelle Bachmann to make it. No go from Governor Pawlenty. :'(

Who wants to be in charge of the "We Love Lutherans and Green Jello" Stiftungsfestivities on October 14 when the Gusties come to Collegeville? I will be making a trip that weekend to Boulder for family weekend at CU to see my little girl and to watch some D1 football.
