Speaking of Purple Rain, aka Prince, he was at the Vikings-Bears game yesterday at the Mall of America Dome. They zeroed in on him with the live cam during the game. Maybe we should try and get him up to the Stiftungsfestivities next fall.

Joe Buck was getting irritated that Prince never changed his expression.

Here we go again with "phone it in" and other such gibberish by the Linfield faithful.  I wish SJU would be the one to go out there and make them eat that stuff again but, alas, 6 turnovers only gets one a loss usually in the playoffs.  Keep up the smack and overconfidence because St. Thomas is a fairly good team.  That said, it beat a cream puff in Monmouth and beat a Coe team without its starting QB, a team that SJU should have beaten were it not for 6 turnovers and two stud linebackers. 

While I have always liked Linfield (and its very rabid supporters) a lot (they are one of my two favorite teams outside of SJU) and while I, too, think they will probably beat St. Thomas, I would encourage St. Thomas to go out and just ignore all of that.  In 2002 Matthews, the Linfield QB, had a lot of time to count clouds and I know Linfield does not want to be reminded of the Central "Miracle in the Mud" of 2000.  After flying through the NWC, Linfield may think that it is going to simply play a bunch of cornfed, stumbling galoots from the midwest.  IF that's the prevalent attitude, it will be a long day for them.  Unless ST. Thomas just loses focus and goes chicken s%&$, it will be a good game.

Hey PR, have you ever actually been south of the MN/IA state line? I've been all over this fine country, and find that many of our southern brethren are just dandy people.

That being said we did have a couple theories when I was working for someone from the south who we were not fond of. One was that during the Civil War, the body count was so great that they had to use all their best young men, the flowers of the south, so to speak, and most of the top of the gene pool was killed off, and that left the lame, sickly and idiotic to repopulate that region of the country. The other was that the intensity of the sun burned through the thin skulls, and fried their brains. Take your pick. But again, I have always loved the south.

Duffman,
How's the pup doing?

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

YAWN....

And I thought the MetroDome was a ugly ass stadium - that Catdome looks like it belongs in Alabama, or perhaps Mississippi - filled with a bunch of rednecks watching monster trucks racing around in mud.

Right on, another option QB--Paint a target on him cause he is in for a rough day at the Catdome.  2 7 turnover playoff games in a row for the Cat D. 

Bring it--we are ready

The Catdome awaits

Phone it in

Hey violet urine...you come across as an ignorant 13 year old who tries to stand up to their parents because they think they know more than mom and dad...

Please go out and get a job, and quit typing drivel from your mom's basement in North Minneapolis...

And the "violet urine" thing comes across as mature?

"Girls pictured on croc trap in Northern Territory"

TWO bikini-clad girls have been photographed swigging champagne on top of a croc trap in a crocodile-infested river.

The girls were photographed singing in the rain, using champagne bottles as microphones, while atop of the trap in Maningrida, in the Northern Territory, reports the Northern Territory News.

Hey Oz....kinda makes me wish I was a Croc.....

[smedindy]

New round of pick 'ems posted!

[OzJohnnie]

Hey Oz....kinda makes me wish I was a Croc.....

I followed the NT News link in that story and they had a little photo essay on what salt-water crocs (very aggressive and dangerous - kinda like a guy that owns a mid-80's Camaro) like to eat...

Chainsaws...



Santa...



Sharks...



Beer...  (how drunk was the guy that put that there?)



Fishermen...

Prince never changed his expression.

I was around him for a good deal of time and he rarely does. When he finds something funny he covers his mouth like the custom in some African countries.

I can guarantee you that the 'Cats will not be looking past UST. Arrogance is not tolerated by the coaches and they are not foolish enough to believe they are that much better than another team that made it into the playoffs, let alone to the quarterfinals. Regular season, maybe. Early December, no. Especially since the game last week very easily could have swung differently on a few crucial plays.
