MBB: Midwest Conference

[AppletonRocks]

Maybe the special sauce was Jim Beam in honor of the sale of the company, if you need an excuse.

Beam is for the J.V. Since it's scottie I'm leaning towards Evan Williams; which sadly has gotten expensive since I started liking it a few years back. Nowadays it's fourLOKO fruit punch to the rescue. *This message has not been approved by my wife.

Nice interview with Patrick Maher '14 of GC:  http://www.midwestconference.org/news/2014/1/14/MBB_0114140305.aspx?path=mbball

Welcome back, jeffdc!  Thanks for the link.  As Fulbakdad would say (about anyone wearing a LFC jersey), Patrick seems like not only a great player, but a great person!  Best of luck to him and the rest of the Pioneers this season, especially against Ripon, IC, Larry, Cornell, and Purple Pride - but not so much against the Good Guys.  Or America's Team.

I may need something stiff if LU doesn't break out of their funk soon.        They can shoot and they can play defense, but their toughness has been a issue on the boards and on loose balls, etc.  Big loss for them when Davis DewWolfe went down late last year and this year recurring back problem.  Chase Nelson has been admirable but not deep in the length department.  We need someone to wake up and get the killer instinct back.    The losses to Ripon and LFC were to weaker opponents.

The GC circus comes to town on Saturday. Frozen elephant **** along S. River Drive all weekend.

scottie, through unreliable sources I've heard that Grinnell will open the season next year vs. College the Roop has never Heard of St. at a neutral site in the Netherlands Antillies.

I doubt that's true. They would definitely be able to get that game at home.

And Pat Coleman sneaks in with a low blow to the cummerbund!

I'm just looking for a free trip to the Netherlands Antillies, and since I now have the comped System books; that's my opening bid on it happening. Call, check or raise..............

[scottie]

Everybody knows there's no such thing as a one-scene play.  The second scene should be a doozy!   

[AppletonRocks]

Halftime at Alexander Gym.  Lawrence 67-48.  Grinnell has 22 fouls.  One T.  The elephants are sedated behind the end zone bleachers.

LU wins 111-94.

Posters 1, 3, 4, 5: 

Curtain.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
