There were actually two LLPP references in there.

[JT]

There are a few things that turn Coach King into "The Kinger aka The Stinger" including but not limited to the following:

1. Stepping on his headset cord during the game (they have since gone wireless)
2. geting a personal foul
3. hiting the big stick like a wuss
4. Mentioning that you slipped, tripped, "didn't see him", or "forgot" after a bad play
5. Standing around during drills or conditioning

all of these action will get you JACKED UP.... there are others.

During practice JT had made the mistake of getting the giggles when certain coaches of JT's were jacking up other players.  Or instead of the giggles JT'd roll out a funny line. Usually this led to:

1) JT getting jacked up (and if JT didn't wipe that smile off his face, JT had to do #2)
2) 3-4 qtr mile sprints in full gear.  :30 second rest in between.

Which used to suck cause the whole team would run 3-4 anyway.  One time JT had to do 12.  Sometime being a smart ass doesn't pay.

On a side note.  JT wonders that with all this politically correct sportsmanship from pop warner and up (ties, no losers, can't win by more than X pts), do kids get jacked up by coaches anymore?  Hell some of the stuff done to JT pre-HS and HS, would probably get coaches fired or sued.

JT thought getting grabbed by the facemask and yelled at was just a normal part of football. Or being forced to go up against a coach with no pads, and still getting his ass kicked was normal too.

Subtle shout out to the folks in LLPP and E8PP on the Triple Take this week.  And it comes from across the country, no less.  See if you can find it.

"that's how union rolls", nice. And K-mack noticed it.   KS what was the other reference?

That was subtle?   

When K-Mack noticed it and reacted instantaneously (what would you expect from a former d-back?), I was expecting him to post his next answer in the third person.

Something about a double Monkey Stomp.

[PBR...]

here u go...correct KS



Surprisingly close game
Ryan's take: Carthage at Wheaton. This is a shot in the dark but after getting pasted last year by the Thunder look for the Red Men to keep it surprising close with the No. 4 team in the country. Of course, I'm probably way off base and the Thunder will roll by a double Monkey Stomp.

Is there any chance someone could start a new thread that would function as the East Region Encyclopedia?  I can't remember all the qualifiers for an official Monkey Stomp and trying to find it among 2000 LLPP posts isn't exactly an enjoyable way to spend half an hour.

Liberal use of the modify button within the Encyclopedia and hashing out definitions on the league boards would be a must.

WikiLLPPedia.  I like it.

I just wanted to pay respect to a consistent high level souce of entertainment on PP.

This made me laugh really hard... All I can think of standing on the sideline is one time tripping over the headset cord and the coaches basically screaming, "GET THE F*** OFF THE CORD!"

Monkey stomp=21 point victory.

I like the fact that our own Jimmy Olson laughs really hard, and shares that fact with us.

I also like the PP handle AUKaz00.  I don't know why, I just do.  Maybe it's on account of I once dated a chick from NYU who was a founding member of the NYU Marching Kazoo Band.  But I doubt it.

Hey, if something's funny, I like to let people know that I think it's funny.

...Maybe it's on account of I once dated a chick from NYU who was a founding member of the NYU Marching Kazoo Band...

This would explain a lot, perhaps.  Please, go on...

Monkey stomp=21 point victory.

Pep and Kaz00 have been functioning under the belief that a Monkey Stomp was a 28 point victory.  I remember reading about several caveats however, so an official definition in an easily accessible place would be nice.  Perhaps it can even be outsourced to the Urban Dictionary.

EDIT: Here are the discussion points I remembered:

Technically not a monkey stomp (margin of victory over 21), but definitely one of the best (if not THE best) games that 02 Hobart squad had all season.

The fact that TGP thinks it was only the 3rd win for Hobart in 25+ something games vs. IC made it that much sweeter. 

MIOH would propose a couple of amendments to the monkey stomp "rule of 21" in cases like...

When your offense doesn't advance the ball past midfield and you lose by more than 17

When you have more turnovers than first downs and lose by more than 17

Not caveats per se, but I think a healthy dialogue could begin and consensus findings posted in the WikiLLPPedia.
