FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[corn horn]

amongst all this depressing news about Liriano and the sterile cobber-royal banter I thought I'd offer up a little something for the Johnnies to look forward to on Saturday.

"...sterile cobber-royal bantor?"  This is an MIAC posting site, and this game has the makings of an exciting matchup (though I have hope for the double monkey-stomp). I'm surprised there hasn't been more related bantor.

In the Cobber opener, the MSUM defense played like they were given free samples from Barry Bonds' medicine cabinet. Will the Cobbs have greased their running machine at this point? Will the Bethel defense rise to the task? Yeah, the bantor could be sexier. Hopefully as the season progresses and we see more we'll have more fodder to juice it up a bit.

Until then, I welcome any and all MIAC bantor. Of course, AO's consistently curmudgeonly comments always make my day. Should there be a celebration if the AO karma hits -666 by season end??

ROR, best wishes-- can't wait to see you when you're back on your feet.

Nice article on the SJP gridders in the Daily Planet.  Look out, AO-- the Prepsters will be nipping at the SLIAC's heels before long!!!!

Reminds me of the observation made by a certain Minnesota born and bred football coach of some fame, Charles (Bud) Wilkinson - that he always preferred it be big news when his team lost than when it won.  Bud was a smart guy (and chased a lot of skirt!)

By the looks of how the "J" is aligned on some of those helmets, I'm guessing they were applied either as a project of the 7th grade art class or by participants in the Stiftungestivities.

ROR-good luck with your surgery!!! I am sure everything will turn out fine!

Okay, since we are being prompted to discuss the Cobber/Royal match up...I have not seen the Royals play since 2003 (gotta love that 409 ), but they are always a tough team and they will be up for this game. But I have to say, I will give the edge to the Cobbers. I think they really stunned Linfield last year! They played hard and showed a lot of heart. If they can play with the same intensity, Bethel will have more than they can handle!! Hmm...comparing last year's Cobber team to Bethel's team from three years ago...I have been reading too much AO logic!!

AO-

Number 1


or Number 2

bennie,
Should ZIP and I save your reserved seat for the Auggie game? IL and western CO coverage isn't enough. We need left coast.

Duff--That's a nice lookin' sturgeon.  44 inches?  48?  How many did you fellas get?  

It's strange seeing a fish that long be that skinny.  I'll have to scan in a couple of my muskie pics so you can see some GIRTH.  If the rain holds off on Sunday and I can get out, maybe I'll have a project for Monday.



Trying to look at the CC/BU game objectively:  A couple of weeks ago, I would have picked the Cobbs by 3 scores and didn't think the game would have much of an influence on who the #2 team in conference is.  I still think this game could be a pretty sizable Cobber win, but the results from the first couple weeks suggest that it could be a pretty competitive contest.  Should be interesting.

Subjectively:  Bethel sucks.  This is the start of a mediocre 4-4 MIAC run for them this year.  Concordia rolls, finishes the year 8-2, sneaks into the playoffs, represents the MIAC by knocking someone off on the road in the first round before falling to the Johnnies in the second round.  

Yeah, I like the second one a lot more.  Let's go with that one.

I will definitely be here on Saturday! Though with Oklahoma in town here, I don't think I will be wearing my usual red!

One (unnamed) guy's explanation on why he is divorced:

She told me we couldn't afford beer anymore and I'd have to quit drinking.

Then I caught her spending:

    $65 on make-up,
    $150 for a cut & color,
    $30 for a manicure,
    $40 for a pedicure,
    $50 on vitamins,
    $300 on clothes, and
    $600 for a gym membership.

I asked how come I had to give up stuff and not her.

She said she needed it to look pretty for me.

I told her that was what the beer was for.

I don't think she's coming back.

bennie,
That's OK. I'll wear my red alum sweat instead of the grey RAT sweat. I don't think the lucky RAT one will be necessary this week. The John bobblehead is always in place right next to the iMac. I've still got plenty of Redenbachers - just in case.

Duffman-
Leave the hang-your-balls game home next time. I found a new game we can play...

We could do it in English though. Maybe save the Chinese for the final round.
Hilarious!

I believe that one was 43".  We also had a 48".  We ended up with 16 for the night and I had 15 on Sunday.  Ever caught one?  Strongest fish I've ever tangled with, for sure.

I believe that is #2 son's Japanese class at SJU.

This had to be somebody from this board. Anybody want to speculate?

Bathroom beer caper lands man in jail
                      By MARK GUNDERMAN mgunderman@chippewa.com                        
                      Published:                        Thursday, September 14, 2006 10:20 AM CDT

Perhaps someone should have explained to Michael A. Jacob that one normally goes to the bathroom after drinking beer, not to drink beer.

But it wasn't so much picking the wrong place to have his private party that landed him in the Chippewa County Jail. It was the fact that it wasn't his beer.                                        

                 

Jacob, 59, of 902 S. Orange St., River Falls, was arrested Wednesday for retail theft.

He was detained at the Kwik Trip store at 503 E. Grand Ave. when he walked out with an empty beer can, the contents of which he drank inside the store bathroom, according to Chippewa Falls police.

At 9 p.m. Wednesday, store staff reported that Jacob took a beer   can out of the cooler, went in the bathroom and drank it, then walked outside with the empty can.

That wasn't his only stop of the evening.                    
The Express Mart at 1456 Kennedy Road told police that Jacob had been in the store earlier for about half an hour and was acting strangely. When he left a clerk checked the men's bathroom and found three empty beer cans.

The clerk told police that when Jacob left the store he asked for directions to the next convenience store.

After his arrest at Kwik Trip, Jacob admitted to drinking the beer at Express Mart as well.

Jacob was taken to the Chippewa County Jail.


Oh! he was from River Falls. Probably didn't even steal Leinies or Hamms.
