MBB: Midwest Conference

[The Roop]

It will be my third season on the board, I think one spelling error is acceptable.

[Maverick]

Same as scottie, just checking in since I've been with the rest of Scots Nation glued to the football site.  It's good to see that most of the other regulars are holding the board down very nicely so far.  Can't wait for all those haikus to start rolling in!

Absolutely, it's acceptable. It just made me realize that I may not be the only 'tragically unhip" individual out here.

Well AM now you have an amusing story to share with Ms. Stefani should you ever meet her. If you do, please drop me an email and I'll put it up on my Roop 24/7 site.

Trust me, if I ever meet a woman like that, I'll post the pictures!

Of course, that's as likely as jeffp drinking Tasters Choice...

When you meet Ms. Stefani, let her know "better dead than red".

[Mr. Ypsi]

Scandal Alert:

jeffp caught drinking Tasters Choice.  Also, Roop meets Gwen Stephanie, finds that, in comparison, Gwen Stefani is a mutt.  Film at 11.

Mr. Ypsi,

The Roop appreciates your good wishes, however, the problem with meeting celebrities like that is they become real people in your mind afterwards and it ruins most of your fantasies. Like the time The Roop met Linda Carter at the Kentucky Derby and conversed for a few minutes.

[Gregory Sager]

The star of Wonder Woman? In that case, Roop, you meant that you met Lynda Carter. You're now one over your error quota.

[hjmphelp]

Carter must not have won if she had time to talk.

[systemfan86]

Bravo, Mr. Sager. Bravo. Quick. Simple. And to the point.

Bravo, as well to Mr. Braier for his selection as second team pre-season All American. Certainly well deserved. Does Larry offer an early graduation option? Those of us who appreciate his ability will still appreciate it when he graduates - which can't come too soon!

Roop:

I'll ask the questions that everyone else is thinking but not asking--


How would she look in a Beloit Basketball t-shirt?




(if that doesn't get me somne karma, what will?)

Grinnell Men's Alumni game Saturday at 7:00pm following the Women's game at 5:00. Finally get to see how much the newbies know!
Also get to see some past greats (Wood, Malinowski, the Elder Nordlund, et al)!

Still can't find D3soccer.com, so...Congrats to the Grinnell Women's Soccer team for beating Lakeland in the Regional semifinal yesterday 3-1. They will Play Macalaster on Saturday for the right to advance. This is the first win in the tourney for a GC Women's team, so best of luck and keep it going, 'neers!

The misspelling of "Lynda Carter" was in a "scrimmage" post so it doesn't count against the quota.

Not sure if she had a horse running that year or not. It was the year Charismatic won if that helps any. I cashed a huge ticket though.

I'm quite sure she would look fine in any t-shirt. It was quite an effort to maintain eye contact in other words. When I returned to our table my wife asked if I enjoyed the conversation. Translation........... I obviously talked with her too long. So yes, I enjoyed it.
