We're coming for you... 8 days left Herky.

The Most High Clerics of the Evil Wizardry Guild have appointed me to deliver a message. So that you can understand me, I must ask that you remove your arcane memory-constrictors and peer back into the dark hours of your history. Let us recall the recent triumphs:

 

If a frenchman can do it ...

Baz_medium

Brett Basanez - 2005


... an Asian can do it ...

 

610x_medium

CJ Bacher - 2006 & 2008

 

... and a lanky goddamn philosopher can do it ...

 

Mikekafka_medium

Mike Kafka - 2009

 

... then you can bet your amorphous, over-sized, corn-fed asses a hobbit can do it ...

 

Dan_persa--300x300_medium

Dan Persa - 2010

 

PREPARE YOUR SPELLS HERKY

Well done, sir

Unfortunately for jNW, this team seems to be able to remember past performances and use them as fuel. Just ask Sparty. Unless you take out Stanzi again, anticipate something that you would like to forget in the future.

The majority of specific references were Dungeons & Dragons, which your pro bro pointed out below with his witty-as-fuck Second Edition comment.

And yeah, it’s nice to be able to trash talk when you’ve won 4 of the last 5 meetings.

Yeah?

Well, your starting runningback is named Trumpy. I hated that episode. It was really boring. Northwestern should never have been allowed to ally themselves with crappy European filmmakers.

True

Or the Telephone Trophy. Or, for that matter, the CyHawk Trophy. I just realized that Iowa State plays for some ugly trophies. At least we can offset the CyHawk with Floyd and the Heartland Trophy (which I actually think looks good).

Tear.

Dude don’t mention that H* trophy for 2 or 3 years

by Eyeheartfreedumb on Nov 5, 2010 7:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm really interested in that game.

I had really high hopes for outdoor hockey at Wrigley but the actual execution was kind of unimpressive. One of my favorite parts of the fan experience at hockey games is the proximity of the fans to the rink and it seems like that was completely eliminated in that Hawks/Wings game.

I’m trying to picture what the fan experience is going to be like for Cats and Illini fans. Obviously a football field is much bigger than a hockey rink, so hopefully fans can get closer to the field in this game.

by Abbas_Cincinnatus on Nov 5, 2010 1:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

A little something like this...

But holy mother of baseball I hope they cut the grass in line with the field before the game.

Good luck catching too much of it on TV.

It’s on at 2:30pm CST, the same time as the OSU/Iowa game.

I don't know about at Wrigley

But after seeing two Wisconsin hockey games in football stadiums (WI-OSU @ Lambeau and WI-Michigan @ Camp Randall) I can say that there’s something special about 50-60k fans at a hockey game that can offset the distance from the rink.

by PackerHawk on Nov 5, 2010 2:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

Not only is there an actual secondary market for tickets to a jNW game...

… it’s actually fairly lucrative.

Not so much this year...

You’ll have a big chunk to be sure but based upon previous weeks I’d expect to see 75% of Ryan in purple.

Now I cannot say for sure how loud they’ll be… given all the crotchety old fuckers.

Your mocking of karma is additional proof of the transient nature of jNW football fandom. Team A beats jNW, “That’s ok, we don’t care about football anyway.” Team A loses to jNW, “Hahahahahaha, you guys suck and we ruined your season.” Ugh. Fans just don’t mess with the football gods.

by txhawkeye on Nov 5, 2010 2:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't see how that follows.

After a loss I still care about football, and I don’t want the team to win just to ruin others seasons, I want the team to have success and compete in a good bowl game.

Karma – as in the belief that the universe keeps some magic counter of your “good” and “bad” actions and fucks with the laws of physics to balance each person’s happiness / sadness with their tally – is fucking absurd and what I don’t believe in.

by Glopknar on Nov 5, 2010 3:05 PM CDT up reply actions

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
