'mornin fellas.

Finally got around to reading SI last night....a few interesting D-III notes popped up.

First up....  Rick Reilly and another writer wrote a comedy screenplay a number of years ago about 1920's professional football players before the birth of the NFL.  It had been kicked around and then forgotten, but it fell into George Clooneys hands and now looks like it will get made.  Clooney is set to produce and star as the main player....who's character is based on Johnny "Blood" McNally.

Second - Chris Sharpe (Springfield QB) was in Faces in the Crowd (about time) but I thought it was interesting that they just said he broke a number of records but didn't give stats.  It is impressive either way, but I think some of those stats are just mind blowing.

Funny line in the Strib this morning about "does it matter what college you went to"

"Does it really matter for your life or career if you go to Harvard instead of the U of M? Or Carleton instead of St. John's University?"

oAs.

Hey, I thought you no longer had access to the internet?

Congrats to Johnnie Basketballers and Bandwagon climbers.... phoned the affable OAS for SJU/UST score update as I was suffering through the Gopher/Illini game with an Illini alum.....  OAS is on the outs... he no longer has access to the internet.
Developing......

Maybe he finally found a reason to go to the library.

Fins, The Johnnie BB team is playing in Moorhead Saturday. I suspect the bandwagaon is back in the garage for now and the driver will be ice fishing?

The Prez' karma is out of wack again!

That is way too far for the bandwagon to be traveling in this, the heart of the ice fishing season. We'd never find a driver sober enough for the trip home anyway, then we'd be stuck in Moorhead.
Besides, I'll be busy working on this: http://www.glumbert.com/media/shoe

I'm back from the dead...

Dont know if anyone posted this or not...
I read in the Pioneer Press sports last week that a certain head football coach from St. John's was speaking at a football conference in Texas and had people rolling with laughter when he joked about getting older "...you forget 3 things. One is to zip up, two is to zip down, and I forget the third"

Pretty funny, even for a Johnnie.

In other news, stemming from the Stout findings, agents stormed Wonka's house and found plenty of Viagra and caffine pills, apparently to keep him awake for numerous hours of Madden play

I'm outtie 5000 keep it sleazy

I take viagra just to be able to sit up straight. If I sit up for more than 4 hours, my wife calls the doctor.

Very quiet on this board so must report the news from western Colorado: 

A woman is suing the local school board because they won't let her 5th grade son wear his pajamas to school. No report on whether said jammies had bunny footsies or not (pink or otherwise).

Believe it or not, the board is considering revising the existing dress code.

Some pretty good football today, eh boys?
Not a big fan of the Brady bunch, so it's nice to see Mr. Dungy going to the Super Bowl to face Da Bears.

[janesvilleflash]

I go watch my grandson play hockey once a year in Hastings. His team has NEVER won a game. Of course it's only been 3 years. That's how they roll.

By the way BDB, my Bob and Steve's coffee mug doesn't have a hidden compartment like Michael Vick's water bottle does it?

Flash,

+k for the BDB / Vick connection.

For a small fee I will send you the instructions on accessing that secret compartment.  Dare I ask what you intend to secretly transport on your next trip through airport security?

Doesn't everyone buy a water bottle with a secret compartment for their instant coffee?!

It is time we all recognize these Four Powerful Religious Truths:


   1.  Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's chosen people.
   2.  Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
   3.  Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the
        Christian World.
   4.  Bethel grads do not recognize each other at Hooters.



Now let's quit fighting and get back to living and loving each other.

Boudreaux, a Cajun highlander from Rapides Parish in central Louisiana, was an older, single gentleman, who was born and raised a Baptist, living in South Louisiana.

Each Friday night after work, he would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. Now, all of Boudreaux's neighbors were Catholic... and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Fridays. The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.

The priest came to visit Boudreaux, and suggested that Boudreaux convert to Catholicism. After several classes and much study, Boudreaux attended Mass... and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist and raised a Baptist, but now you are Catholic."

Boudreaux's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood. The priest was called immediately by the neighbors and, as he rushed into Boudreaux's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped in amazement and watched.

There stood Boudreaux, clutching a small bottle of water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat, and chanted:

"You wuz born a deer, and you wuz raised a deer, but now youz a catfish."
