That's what we tell you to your face... I may get in trouble for letting the secret out!

Blu:

Yes -- I worked for USA Today publications for more than a decade and I still contribute annually to their college football preview publication.

Glad you got to read it. I'm sure next year you'll be able to buy it yourself. At least, that's what my editor would probably want me to say.

Perhaps. My daughter graduates from THE University of Texas (I'm proud to say) this December.  That should free up the cap space to allow for such extravagances...  But then again, IC ain't exactly community college tuition and I'm saving my money for all the travel to take in the games.  I gotta check out cheese curd.  (They really could have given it a better name.)

[The Roop]

blu, you are in for a REAL TREAT when you meet The Roop!  I actually am surprised he has not jumped in yet. Must have lost his broadband signal from the deer stand or fishing boat.

Nope, just busy playing FrontierVille. The WI DNR has ruined deer hunting to the point that I haven't bought a license in two years. 10 years ago we had too many, now we are looking at the possibility of closed seasons in certain areas due to low populations. Way to go guys.

Carroll's roster is posted as well, though numbers have not been given out it doesn't look like.

Roop! Good to hear from you. We need to catch up some time. But make sure you intro yourself to Blu. Another pround father, just for the wrong team. 

Also, the stadium is coming along real good. I hope to post a couple pices in 3 weeks when I am up there. In the meantime, check out the SNC Athletic web page.


GO GREEN KNIGHTS

SNC- Thanks for the introduction.  Looked up cheese curds. I was a little unsure.  If for no other reason than the name.  However, I see that they can be deep fried.  Now we're talkin'!  I'm from a place where we deep fry steak, turkeys, and even ice cream.

Roop, sorry to hear that deer season is a bust.  It's religion here.  Politicians would be voted out if similar restrictions were enacted, here.  From 11/1-1/16, I must schedule my sub-contract installations around it.  I don't hunt, but my freezer is always full of the many varieties of venison.  So that's cool.

Wrong team?  Funny, I don't see it that way.  Perhaps it's early yet, but  I ain't seeing much from my IC brethren.  Maybe they haven't had much to talk about.  That is gonna change.  I am proclaiming myself as the leader of Blueboy Nation (on this board).  Should a more historically deserving, and/or rightful heir emerge, I will quickly relinquish the throne. I am declaring that this is the dawn of a new day for IC Blueboy football, and putting the existing powers on notice.  I've seen the future.  Coach Campbell is brigning a new attitiude, level of talent, and work ethic to the hilltop.  His commitment is being matched by the administration.  Get ready boys!  Things are gonna get interesting in the next couple years.

You'll like Wisconsin. We deep fry everything. Aside from the standard menu you can fin deep fried pickles, Snickers, Twinkies and Oreos. Unfortunately most of those are only at county fairs and festivals.

Ever had deep fried coke? Mr. btnt might know what I'm talking about since it originated at the Texas State Fair in Dallas (isn't that part of Oklahoma?    ) a few years ago. Most of those other deep fried treats you mentioned, also came out of the Texas State Fair, if I'm not mistaken!!

[kubiack78]

You guys are forgetting my favorite Wisconsin treat... "Pickled Herring" 

[SNCOLDAD]

And we cannot forget FRIDAY NIGHT FISH FRIES!!!

[blu thru n thru]

Love pickled herring.  Never had the fried coke.  Don't know that we (Texas) should get the credit for all the items mentioned, but it's safe to say we have raised fryin' stuff to high art.  My buddy makes deep fried bacon.  (Yeah, cuz that damn bacon wasn't holing its fat content.  We needed to bread it!)  I am concerned that I've had a hand in taking this thread from football to the Food Channel.  I guess with camps not yet open, food's all we got.  So with that in mind, what are the best tailgating schools in the conference?  Is there a robust tailgating scene in general?  I'm a bit spoiled as my daughter brings me to a lot of Longhorn games and subsequently tailgating activities.  101K in attendence makes for some pretty outrageous tailgating.  In fact, her tailgating group even won a contest that got them on halftime of the 2009 Fiesta Bowl.  They won the school $200K in scholarships from Frito Lay.  We didn't get so much as a discount in tuition...

I think if you researched it, many, if not all, the things I mentioned were created at the Texas State Fair -- most by the same creative mind!!

Fixed it for you.
