Now taking submissions for captions to this photo.

A couple things popped into mind initially:





"Hey Macarena!"

"Guess how I'm holding my clipboard and 3 donuts!"

"Maybe next year if I put 37 more plays on my left wrist, we can keep it within a Monkey-Stomp!"




Big MIAC day for me today at the Navy Hospital here in Portsmouth, VA:

The doc I did an operation with this AM went to Augsburg back in the 70'2. He played football as a sophomore in 1976. He said he remembers 2 things, drinking after all the losses and being crushed by the eventual National Champs!


Then this afternoon a guy came in to have the wiring taken off of his jaw as his jaw has healed from bring broken in a bar fight 2 months ago. He was wearing..... a Bethel t-shirt!
I thought about asking him if a teammate did it, but he revealed that he didn't go to Bethel, his girlfriend did.

so SHE smashed him in the jaw??

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

Did Summander get lost in the woods?  Did the loss to Stanford do him in?  Is he coming to the UST game (he does, after all, have a daughter at UST)?

yes, he does...a stellar athlete, no less

My guess is he's hanging out on the hoops board now, lord knows why

Let's continue with coaches who need to lose weight. Ralph Friedgen at Maryland tried it a couple yeras ago, and succeeded to a point, but it  now looks as though he again lives up to his nickname, which he shares with a non-active player, the Fridge. I heard that one of the things that kept him from getting a Head Coaching job for a long time was his appearance. I think he was at NC State prior to being hired in College Park, but was highly thought of as an offensive coordinator, if my memory serves. Just goes to show you that good things come in all size packages. He's doing OK with a program that was mediochre at best when he got there.

I must say I am quite impresssed with the new website guys.  

I'm not sure what impresses me more...the site itself or that you all found a way for Touchdown Tommy to actually contribute to something so professional and impressive

oAs.

The contributions that TDT makes to the site are quite impressive. I believe that the fact Dusty has a thumb on the remote control that powers the shock collar which is on TDT's neck also influences those contributions

retagent,

The Fridge was at Georgia Tech (as part of George O'Leary's staff) prior to Maryland.  One of the best Friedgen stories of all-time was after he accepted the Maryland job, GT would not allow him to be the OC in the bowl game that year.  Instead, he watched the game from one of the suites and the network doing the game would cut away to get his reaction on the happenings on the field....most of the time he either fist deep in the nachos or had 6 inches of hot dog shoved down his throat with ketchup and mustard smeared all over his face

sfury and fins----great stories on johnniefootball.com  As a former member of the broadcast team, I am glad we helped in both your situtations.

Dusty's dating TDT's mother?    Be careful of the rumors you start.

Driving 3 hours to Stevens Point tomorrow, so drank early today. Heard a joke that sounded funny drunk, so thought I'd pass it on. If it's not funny, oh well.

Before the 2001 inauguration of George Bush, he was invited to a get-acquainted tour of the White House. After drinking several glasses of iced tea, he asked Bill Clinton if he could use his personal bathroom.

When he entered Clinton's private toilet, he was astonished to see that President Clinton had a solid gold urinal.

That afternoon, George told his wife, Laura, about the urinal. 'Just think,' he said, 'when I am president, I could have a gold urinal too. But I wouldn't do something that self indulgent!'

Later when Laura had lunch with Hillary at her tour of the White House, she told Hillary how impressed George had been at his discovery of the fact that, in the President's private bathroom, the President had a gold urinal.

That evening, when Bill and Hillary were getting ready for bed, Hillary smiled, and said to Bill, 'I found out who pissed in your saxophone.'

Well, I'm here in the Republic of Boulder. Amazing how many skateboarders there are in this city. Then as I was walking down to Pearl Street with my daughter we see a panhandler on the side of the street holding a sign that said, "Why lie? It's for beer."

Then in the most recent issue of the Boulder Weekly, there are a few quotes about the Kansas football coach. Here you go. "It's time to curtail the fat jokes. Seriously, Mark Mangino deserves better than that. The man can flat-out coach." Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock, commenting on the morbidly obese, undefeated KU football coach.

Jason Whitlock ... interesting topic for him to tackle.

Ritz;  Had I never met you I would consider your parenting skills marginal... on second thought I think I'll stick with my first thought.

Janesville;  Good to see you're still drinking.

tmerton;  Careful, TDT has been a fine step-son.   

Piper;  It's going to be a bloody mess off of Snelling Ave. tomorrow...

Day 4 of the Mrs. being in california!  House is still standing 

Well this explains the recent vodka-laden posts.

Looks like I owe myself a break and will be in attendance to watch the double monkey stomp on the Pipsqueaks. Hell, I owe it to myself after this week. I got to finish it off deposing a doctor in his tony Edina office this afternoon. Turns out, if someone plows into your car and you get hurt, their insurance company can pay him $1,500 to examine you and write a report saying there's nothing wrong with you. As a bonus, for an additional $2,000 he'll spend an hour reading his report into a camera. I looked at his Curriculum Vitae and it turns out he's a Tommie. Figures.

Got a fire in the fireplace and just uncorked a bottle of Cabernet. Ritz, the Big Lebowski just might be on in the Fins household, too.

Here's one a friend just sent me from last March after I left TDT in my wake...

Jason Whitlock ... interesting topic for him to tackle.

No kidding.

[repete]

Whitlock played at Ball State ... and, for what it's worth, was a high school teammate of Jeff George.
