How foolish of me to only avoid this board during Tommie/Johnnie week when there were only uncreative Tommie/Johnnie jokes!  How could I forget the post-Tommie/Johnnie week pissing contests  about CLASS and INTEGRITY while  digging for the smallest pebbles of controversy to prove the rival's inferiority?  Oh well, at least I can remember that for next year.

Jump in. The water is fine.

And it seems you have plenty of self-righteousness. I think you would be Be able to think of a post or two from that moral high ground you just announced you're standing on. You look very impressive up there.

If you demonstrated even the slightest inclination to hold your own side accountable for their widely recognised shortcomings then maybe the appeal to standards you're trying to make would garner some sort of attention. But it doesn't. It doesn't because it's easy to recognise that Tommies are making this appeal for advantage, not principle.

Please tell me when I personally have never demonstrated the slightest inclination to hold my own side accountable for their widely (arguable) recognized shortcomings. Because I can tell you right now that you're failing to do so for your own side. That makes you a hypocrite, by the way.

Oooooh, the 'h' word. Bringing out the big guns!

How about I do better and show you not even holding yourself accountable. Fish. Barrel. *yawn*

Not sure why we're still dwelling on this.

Try to convince me that if it was GC or a UST assistant who shoved an SJU player that the Johnnie Faithful would ever stop dwelling on it.

Was there anything in my hypothetical that indicated I wouldn't be holding UST accountable in that situation? No. Try again. *yawn*

Which one of you guys are going to take your ball & go home first?

How about a beer?   
A double single malt for bennie

I could use a drink!!

Maybe an Arnold Palmer (John Daly version) is appropriate.

Wart, you know who was here first & who will be here 'til the end. Win or lose...we always booze!

Yes, yes, Sfury has published a couple of books.  This might be the greatest writing he has ever done, written last year after the Johnnie-Tommie game.  Still relevant.


Johnnie-Tommie week has spilled outside the ring and now the combatants are fighting in the stands! Look out, folks! That's Faunch and USTBench delivering haymakers to each other, one after the other. Faunch is doing it while chewing on a printout of the picture the Tommies took on the 50-yard-line while Bench -- his body covered in grotesque scars left over from the barbs received during the Roney era -- is decking him with a right hand that sports a bracelet reading WWGD. And...what's this, from the locker room we've got Retired Old Rat sprinting out to lend a hand and he's absolutely clobbering Bench from behind with a steel chair, a loaf of Johnnie Bread and a special-edition DVD of the 2003 SJU championship season. Now Reverend and Double O have joined the festivities and they're each carrying large placards that indicate how many girls go to St. John's: Zero. And they're now hitting RoR over the head with the cardboard weapon, and that fascinating fact that may or may not speak to SJU students' orientations.

AO continues to watch the festivities from the announcer's table and is now offering odds on the outcome of the fight.

Pat Coleman watches the brawl via Skype and simply wants to let fans of both teams know he hates both schools and is out to get them.

Duffman contemplates joining the fight, but instead sits back with an imported beer, and loses himself in the memory of the Trinity playoff game in 2002. He weeps.

Touchdown Tommy briefly stops by the broadcasting table to announce that he always liked St. Thomas more anyway and thinks they're going to win the brawl.

Oz Johnnie watches from halfway around the world and compares Bench's fighting technique to a kangaroo and a rugby player no one's ever heard of who died in 1953.

56321 logs in to watch the fight and complains about Faunch's offensive calls and a disturbing lack of intensity on defense. "Someone needs to lose their job," he adds.

Dusty says the entire situation is developing.

Robert Zimmerman says You that build all the bombs, You that hide behind walls/You that hide behind desks/I just want you to know/I can see through your masks and everyone else says, thanks, Bob, but it's 2015 now and, by the way, we couldn't understand you anyway.

105 would like to remind you that on his way to the airport he got his shoes shined by a very nice gentleman who graduated from St. Thomas in 1998. Good kid, seems happy with the gig.

Art76 has just written 2,000 words about a fight coming up next week between Augsburg and St. Olaf.

wildcat11 says the Johnnies could win the fight if they put Blake Elliott in the pistol and just let him do his thing.

And here's Chicago Tommie, he's just driven 12 hours and is yelling at Bench and the other combatants, "They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way!" Only he includes 15 ellipses and 25 exclamation points.

This could go on for awhile.

Just  awesome!  Busting a gut here  - absolutely love it!  +K

sfury is a gifted wordsmith and Robert Zimmerman is fortunate to have known him when he was just a lad.

Thanks for sharing........

May I join in? Just got back from 5 hours of driving to pick up the kids and I guess I missed out on a good bit of the lovely ****-storm that I helped create with my question a few days ago.

I'm sure if we all gathered round for a few beers, most of our differences would go away and I might even think some of the Johnnies are fine folks. However, this is the internet and it's much more fun to poke at narrow arguments and talk past one another. I'm happy to do my part. Carry on.

As creative as this is I believe I've kept myself above the fray this time around.

[USTBench]

Pretty accurate, except my style is more cockney knuckle brawler than a kangaroo/obscure rugby player hybrid.

Oh yeah, and loud noises about class and SJU and whatever.
