If you purchase/rent it TDT will wear it next fall at a tailgate of your choice.  

I'm not into purchasing permanent pieces of your wardrobe for you, but I did locate places you can rent ($40) or buy ($65) your own purple (Tinky Winky) Teletubby getup.  One of these places is right in friendly Mankato - you can get one of your GAC buds to bring it up for you.  [Note: You will need to supply one of your own purses.] 

• Buy

• Rent - right in Mankato!

Given the minimal price difference, I'd recommend buying it.  Think of all the UST games and parties to which you could wear it.  Heck, I bet the Tommies on the board might throw in to help you out with the purchase.

BTW: You guys missed TDT's post of the year last night on the NWC board.  It was pure gold and Pat removed it within 30-45 minutes.  

Thanks for the reminder. That should have carried a suspension with it, but I was busy and didn't have time to go through the ban screens. Will take care of that now.

And how long will his purpleness be gone this time?

[OzJohnnie]

TDT gone?  For anti-social behavior?  But now who will WW, WaSK, AO, and all the Tommies use to bludgeon loyal Johnnies with charges of being unhinged and incapable of rational thought?

The board will come to a stand still.

WOW (VD)J your thoughts are brilliant and so well thought out - get a life old man.  Hey, since TDT is on temporary hiatus here, I gotta new bff for you - a perfect match - you and P.Z. Myers.

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...

Time for Bus Driver to make his comeback.  Later TDT.

Let us take a break and still move your pages

    Author unknown - for good reason

    Actual letter from someone who farms, writes well and tried this:

     I had this idea that I could rope a deer, put it in a stall,
   feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it.
   The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that,
   since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have
   much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come
   right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the
   truck not 4 feet away), it should not be difficult to rope one,
   get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down)
   then hog tie it and transport it home.
 
   I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope.
   The cattle, having seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They
were not having any of it. After about 20 minutes, my deer showed up-- 3
of them. I picked out a likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the
feeder, and threw my rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me.
   I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold.
   The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it was mildly
concerned about the whole rope situation. I took a step towards it, it took a step away. I put a little tension on the rope .., and then received an
education. The first thing that I learned is that, while a deer may just stand
there looking at you funny while you rope it, they are spurred to action when you start pulling on that rope.
   That deer EXPLODED. The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I could fight down with a rope and with some dignity. A deer-- no chance.
   That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and started
dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I had originally imagined. The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many other animals.
  A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me off
my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the big gash in my head. At that point, I had lost my taste for corn-fed venison.I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of that rope.
    I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it would
likely die slow and painfully somewhere. At the time, there was no love at all between me and that deer. At that moment, I hated the thing, and I would venture a guess that the feeling was mutual.
   Despite the gash in my head and the several large knots where I had cleverly arrested the deer's momentum by bracing my head against various large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly enough to recognize that there was a small chance that I shared some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in. I didn't want the deer to have to suffer a slow death, so I managed to get it lined back up in between my truck and the feeder - a little trap I had set before hand...kind of like a squeeze chute. I got it back in there and I started moving up so I could get my rope back.
  Did you know that deer bite? They do! I never in a million years would have thought that a deer would bite somebody, so I was very surprised when ... I reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of my wrist. Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where they just bite you and then let go. A deer bites you and shakes its head--almost like a pit bull. They bite HARD and it hurts.
   The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and draw back slowly. I tried screaming and shaking instead. My method was ineffective.
    It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several minutes, but it was likely only several seconds. I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by now), tricked it. While I kept it busy tearing the tendons out of my right arm, I reached up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose.
    That was when I got my final lesson in deer behavior for the day.
    Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up on their back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and their hooves are surprisingly sharp. I learned a long time ago that, when an animal--like a horse --strikes at you with their hooves and you can't get away easily, the best thing to do is try to make a loud noise and make an aggressive move towards the animal. This will usually cause them to back down a bit so you can escape.
    This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously, such trickery would not work. In the course of a millisecond, I devised a different strategy. I
screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run. The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the back of the head. Deer may not be so different from horses after all, besides being twice as strong and 3 times as evil, because the second I turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down.
  Now, when a deer paws at you and knocks you down, it does not immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed. What they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you while you are laying there crying like a little girl and covering your head.
    I finally managed to crawl under the truck and the deer went away. So now I know why when people go deer hunting they bring a rifle with a scope to sort of even the odds.
    All these events are true so help me God... An Educated Rancher

Ha!  D O.C., I can't bring myself to Snope that because I'm laughing out loud.  Classic.

Does St. Thomas have any trick plays?  

...if so...what are they?

[Pat Coleman]

Linfield coaches have already seen them on the video.

Aw, geez, Pat, now we're gonna have all sorts of batsh!t when he comes back.  I mean, hell, he's said stuff about Mrs. tmerton but I figured if I cold-cocked him he'd just whine.  Ultimately, he's about has harmful as a woman's purse - er European shoulder bag.

Their trick plays all involve #4- the MVP of the MIAC

1.) They do this play where he receives a kick-off and runs it back for a TD
2.)They do a play where he receives a punt and runs it back for a TD- BTW he has run back 6 punts/kicks for TD this season
3.)They do a play where they give #4 the ball on a reverse & he runs it in for a TD
I hope that helps to answer your question about trick plays

D.O.C- +K about the deer story.
That reminds me of a local radio station KQRS who got a copy of a 911 call where a guy hit a deer with his car,but didn't kill the deer-only knocked out the deer. The dude put the deer in his backseat and then the deer regained consciousness and began biting the guy in the neck and kicking the sh*t out of his car. The driver called from a telephone booth and it was a classic 911 call,that I began to chuckle about when I read your story.

And yes, deer are stronger than cattle. 

[sju56321]

Was USTDT banned for his illegal innuendo, or the posting of a specific date. I understand there is no place for someone making reference to unfounded illegal activities. But can we post truthful information?
