Ok, who's the funny guy? I rolled into work today about 11:30 and I was laughed at. Now, getting laughed at is basically second nature - at least as much as TDT anyway - but this was strange.

Apparently someone called the office this morning and got my coworker. She was asked where I was, why I wasn't at work yet, how I could be good at playing AND writing, why I write about practice when I never actually practiced myself, etc, etc. She was pretty weirded out, especially when they finally revealed who they were: Allen Iverson.

Conclusion: If it smells like Frank, drinks like Frank and eats like Frank...it's probably Frank. Heckle my cell phone, not my coworkers, even if they are Bennies and deserve it.

KR, thanks for keeping us on notice.  A special prayer to his family and friends who continually "Keep Hope Alive". 

Wonka, that is pretty cool that AI calls you at work...

[Touchdown Tommy]

Willy,

You get what you deserve...

[frankrickard]

Willy-  Gotta say I don't know what the hell you're talking about.  It sounds funny and I would claim it if I did it.  I'm pissed I didn't think of it first.

I was thinking today about Gags 430 wins..I mean that is a lot of wins...I wondered to myself how can a guy get to be that good at winning...then it hit me...he must have had access to this site a long time ago...

www.coachfootballnow.com

He learned from the "greatest 11 man football coach who ever lived."

Kinda looks like that scooter Barry Alvarez used to ride on the sidelines when he had a bum leg.

Wow, if Old Coach Haege is such a legend, I can only imagine what's in store for the Augsburg program, now that Young Coach Haege is at the reins.

Johnnie hockey fans, go to this page

and scroll down about half way.  There is a familiar face.

You'd think the "Greatest 11 man football coach who ever lived" wouldn't need a website run by his own son to advertise him.

For great fun, click on the "Here is a page where you can gain insight about coach Haege and his coaching style" link.

If coach Haege could pick one football player to play on his team, it would be Dick Butkus

Not a very smart coach starting a team with a 62 year old guy...

The "4-3 defense" looks like a 5-2... not sure the last time I saw a 4-3 defense with a nose, 2 tackles, and an end.

His first 9 years as a head high school coach he had compiled a record of 55 wins,16 losses and two ties. This record includes coaching at 5 different high schools in 3 different states.

What did he do to get run out of 4 different schools and 2 states after posting miraculous winning records? I've never heard of a coach getting sent away after posting great records....

Something has got to be up with the 45 million different coaching stents most lasting 1-2 years. Does he wear thin on people that fast?


Great claim to fame "was defensive coordinator on Kurt Warner's arena league team."



No mention of whether or not he likes to undress at games or if that is a 2nd generation coach Haege thing....

This month's health tip:
Want to lose bodyfat[sic]? Then stop drinking so much pop and soda and stay away from refined sugar!

I can live without pop, but asking me to cut out soda too... that's a bit much!

The Belt will stay where it belongs......Around the waist of the Champion.....
I fear no Rat Packer, young or old.... The only thing they can beat me in is push-ups (see 93 season) and creative entances into the stadium....

I have been doing my 12 ounce pyramid curls, shotgunning Bud Pounders, and eating Pickled Turkey Gizzards in training for Saturday, and the 19th....(The playoffs bring out new challengers all the time!)

I pity the fools who challenge the Champion....

Josh was in our prayers today, as well....

Nothing important to say, just wanted to disgrace myself by disclosing my Ron Mexico name. 

Tommie Poland.

How great is that!

They grow them big up at D2 St. Cloud. This is from a recent article on the teams outlook for next year.



"Redshirt freshman Ryan Knoll (6-foot-5, 337 pounds), Jeff Dirkes (6-4, 335) and Brad Burns (6-4, 312) all saw starting time at guards, sophomore Matt Plautz (6-6, 310) started one game at tackle and the rest at guard, redshirt freshman Adam Koss (6-7, 350) and sophomore Scott Peters (6-10, 340) started at tackles."

With guards of 6-5 and 6-4 and tackles of 6-7 and 6-10 I assume Shaq is going to be the QB next year.

Great headline writing

Unfortunately I have been too busy to post (I know that sounds hard to believe) and now I probably won't be able to attend Saturday's game to witness the J's stomp all over the Tommies.  I'm still hoping to pull off a last minute miracle but if I can't make it I'll be there in spirit! 

Have fun at the 'fest guys!  I'll see you in the playoffs.
