Iowa vs. Ohio State

.

Of course a tie goes to the Bawkeyes!




.

By the way...does anyone know when the game is on?



.

PG - as bad as things might seem right now, things are actually looking up for you.

For starters, instead of having to sport someone elses avatar for month, you only have to display Ohio State's for a week. More importantly, the following avatar will be a vast improvement over the Pepe LePew skunk avatar you have been forced to wear for the last month. All in all a net gain imho... Seriously, an entertaining game by two fine defenses.

Wait, how did I get in on this one?!?! And the way the Hawkeyes have played lately, I'm not sure I would have bet on them. But I was at West Lafayette last year when Purdue beat Ohio State so I know anything is possible.

So am I bound by this "bet" as well? A week of an gross avatar doesn't seem that bad. We barely beat IN and lost to NW so I probably deserve to be!

papi - if you are not in on it, then you are not in on it. My impression was you were but if you say you weren't then you weren't - if that makes any sense

I am sure gotwood4sale will figure it all out for us

Oh, no...I'll take my lumps.

Yes, that was Woody in his much calmer years!

"I am sure gotwood4sale will figure it all out for us."

Darn right! Gear up men. Put on your examination gloves. This may get rough!






Hang on guys...here goes!

First let's have papi form the goal. Add a little binder like oatmeal if you're having trouble shaping our goal into any recognizable form. Think meatloaf. And throw in a reasonable intention too. Something like saving baby Snow geese or changing your oil every three thousand miles. Who doesn't have those intentions. Reasonable, huh?

Secondly, CD you can specify some action. Make it interesting and lively. For instance...'A Soil Bioengineering Guide for Streambank and Lakeshore Stabilization'. Doesn't that just make you want to jump up and grab a hoe and get to work?

After that I'll perceive the system state. I'm real good at perceiving things. Real good. For starters I'll perceive the system state to be a Sunbeam© blender...no, no, make that an InSinkErator© garbage disposal. Perfect. Considering the load of garbage I'm capable of slinging I hope it doesn't jam.

Next we'll have PG execute the action. Don't be squeamish Jerry.

We'll need someone to interpret the InSinkErator. Someone who is good with deciphering various whirring sounds along with the occasional clanking sound. Oh, and the even more rare, but worrisome humming sound. This person should have clean ears, a poor sense of smell, and exhibits extreme mental clarity. And fearless. Any recommendations? Should I place a want ad or just shanghai the DHL guy again?

And lastly we need papi to evaluate the outcome. Last time you peed your pants laughing so hard. This time just relax and think happy thoughts, like Louisville in April or a cooler full of Coors©. Something like that. Really put the val in evaluate for us papi.

And let's not forget. We'll need a crack team on any expected transitions. With the climate the way it is anymore we should expect transitions. And complications. And complicated transitional expectations. Get cracking team.

CD you take the nonproblematic unexpected transitions. If they give you any guff just remind them that you still know how to make Cleveland a mistake on the lake. If they have any sense of self preservation (or civic pride) they will fall in line.

I'll take the problematic unexpected transitions. I've got some old, but powerful meds, that will easily calm them down when they least expect it. Stealthy. Healthy. Done.

And your gloves guys? Pitch 'em.

First Thing That Comes To My Mind After That!

Really? 'cause THIS is what comes to MY mind.....

biggerpapi--I know I'm dating myself....oh well.....Styx used to play at the "teen club dances" at some of the neighboring Catholic churches on Sunday night....a quarter to get in---but when they played the sock hops at Fenwick, it cost a whopping fifty cents! The same for REO Speedwagon. Oh to see them now......

Oh yeah papi? That's the first thing that comes to your mind after reading my post? One smooth as silk, well oiled and crafted, Styx's Greatest Hits music video?

Well I've got news for you papi. The first couple of things that came to my mind after slogging through that video were...

Where'd I leave my blue jumpsuit? At One Hour Martinizing©? Without the claim ticket? Again? Hoo boy!

And is it time to re-order a skid of conditioner?

And dear play baseball. I would appreciate it if you would delete these guys from your speed dial. Each time you call the county to have them take me away I'm sure the "nice men in white" can find our address easy enough without you showing them the light.

Besides, the neighbors are furious. The last two times you rented that illuminated, six million candlelight, whirligig it attracted those huge flesheating moths from the Brookfield Zoo. Now the neighbors are missing both Sport and Mr. Lucky. They're not happy. They won't even let me borrow conditioner anymore. Even my split ends are split.



And by the way papi...tell your mom she has beautiful teeth.



.

Last year every bounce went the Hawks way. This year is setting the balance back.

Defense looks tired.

Any body want to talk college wrestling?

.

I'm not sure what this guy is saying, but I'm quite sure he's not commenting on the weather.



.

Um, how come PGStaff still has that rabid rodent as his avatar?

Come on, that school doesn't even have baseball for crying out loud!

Gophers vs Hawkeyes... Anyone want to bet?

You anxious to wear Gopher attire?

No just anxious for another win. All of a sudden they are hard to come by. BTW, you guys stole our AD. Hope he keeps Harbaugh there and away from Michigan.

Anyway, the Gopher is cool!

Yup, the Gopher is cool...the Buckeye is NOT! So I share your pain!

Wish Harbaugh would stay...but I'd be surprised if he isn't in the NFL next year. And I agree...please not at Michigan either.

I don't think Minnesota has EVER beat Iowa. I'll take that bet. Besides, Woody Hayes is kinda creepy.

Remember Krak's thread about your first ever post? Well, if he starts one about your dumbest post, I guess the above quote will apply.

Avatar changed.

Yikes...don't even think about starting a thread like that! There isn't enough time remaining in the century to sort that one out!

Now, as for the Gophers beating the Hawkeyes, you had to know something was up when upon entering TCF Bank Stadium© one of these promotional egg beaters were handed to you...



I know, I know, it doesn't look like much. Heck it has no battery, no memory, or even a lengthy multi-language owners' manual. When it comes to handheld manually operated kitchen utensils this is nearly simplicity at it's utmost. The knurled handled, hinged lever, stainless steel nutcracker, of course, rightfully claims that title.

Because of the lack of an owners' manual and the rather unorthodox intended use of this device the University of Minnesota's Athletic Department did arrange for this simple one page leaflet to be distributed with each Hawkeye egg beater...

BEAT'EM, BUST'EM, THAT'S OUR CUSTOM! (well not within recent memory). BUT ALL OF THAT IS GONNA' CHANGE TODAY! ISN'T THAT RIGHT GOLDEN GOPHERS FANS? AND HERE'S HOW WE "JUST DO IT"©...

Listen up Golden Gophers fans. "Floyd of Rosedale" is staying put...right here in Minnesota!

And how are we going to make sure? Easy. We're going to beat the Hawkeyes! And we've got the utensil for you to do just that!

Your's, for attending today's game, a hand tool that is used to manually mix and beat Hawkeyes today and to beat other similar ingredients, such as sauces, batter, egg whites, and dressings tomorrow if you're so inclined. If not it will make a great 'Stocking Stuffer'.

This magnificent kitchen utensil is made of gleaming stainless steel with stainless blades all of which can be easily cleaned, but on this sweet occasion let the hunks of Humbled Hawkeye hubris harden wholly. Savor our victory today...clean up later!

C'mon fans, get those blades whirling! Please be careful of dangling scarves and beer hat accessories. Let's usher Floyd, the Bronze Boy of Rosedale, to his suite!

We did it! We did it! It was close, you can see that they're still wearing their egg whites on top and their yolks on the bottom, but Floyd is indeed staying here in the Land O' Lakes!
