Two Quite Off-Topic Things To Mention Because This Is My Blog And You Can't Stop Me And It's Either This Or Iowa Basketball

1) This is pretty awesome. Not because we're instinctually opposed to Tim Tebow as a human being or anything, mind you--we're more opposed to the tone of his coverage and other things over which Tebow has little control. So when Tebow sidles up next to a young lady who throws up the U for the camera, well, you have our attention.
And look, it's not just that The U is some code for a secular, decadent lifestyle that runs contra to Tebow's work (even though that's exactly what it is; Canes fans fuck on piles of cocaine and other people who are also fucking). The point is that it has everything to do with Miami. Like, if I ever ran across Todd Bandhauer or Julius Michalik or Lafester Rhodes and could take a picture with him, the first thing I'm going to do is throw up an Iowa sign. Maybe two index fingers up. Whatever it is we do. I guess we don't have a sign.
2) Here's an hour-long set on Austin City Limits from Them Crooked Vultures--a.k.a. Dave Grohl on drums, QOTSA's Josh Homme on vocals, and John Paul Jones on bass/keyboard. Yes, THE John Paul Motherfucking Jones. They sound amazing. My face has been completely rocked off. Watch this right now. I'm not kidding.

Maybe she just wants him to
“put it between the goalposts”…
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.
Maybe she is
“asking a virgin to do a manwhore’s job”
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Maybe she is trying to show him...
how to catch a football in the NFL. Because right now, he can’t even catch it from his center. And he’ll have to convert to TE.

He's obviously learning
because he already has the horse-face grin down cold.

I didn't realize that 'it' was that small
Granted, I don't know what down it is..
Not even close to on-topic here.
But right now, (or at least a couple minutes ago), at 2:10 PM Iowa time, NBC is showing the biathlon. I had completely forgotten that there was an event that combined cross-country skiing with rifle-shooting. And the best part is, not far away, there are these creepy Scandanavian fans blowing some sort of horns to distract the competitors. I can’t wait till someone misses a target, gets upset, turns around, and puts the crosshairs on the dude with the noisemaking whistle flute.
Friggin’ Awesome.

It’s also unfortunately like a billion times more boring to watch than it sounds. They should really allow them to shoot each other or something if they want to make a spectator sport out of it.
Fun fact for the day:
When Patton competed in the Pentathlon in the 1912 Olympics, he used a .38 while the other more cowardly athletes used some smaller gun.
I still think they should use rocket propelled grenades.

That might leave the targets in rough shape for the next run.
But it would be pretty cool.
Nick Nolte also likes biathalon
though he just calls it gun skiin’.
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.

I once entered a biatholon
advertised on Craig’s List. I haven’t seen any of those couples since…

Congratulations.
This is the first time that I have ever been grateful to see T. Tebow’s face (and that’s because the alternative was commentary or live action in respect of Iowa Basketball).
I didn’t think that this was possible, but it is.
I think Lute, who needs a reputation rehad, will be camped outside Barta’s office soon.
What will happen? Who knows? Is Barta a valid AD or is Barta a high school principal who got on the wrong bus?
Mr. Boh Knows ...
Or is Barta a high school principal who got on all the right buses?

Graduating from both Iowa and Miami
Really makes me wish Iowa had some sort of hand signal we could throw up, for both television purposes and just for fun. Nike has kind of solved this problem with the gloves the Hawks wore in the Orange Bowl, you can see how much the players liked them, Wegher did it immediately after scoring his touchdown to clinch the game and Mcnutt did it on the sideline for the camera. However, we fans still need something.
Don't throw rocks at the throne.
Big giant "I"
Arms straight up in the air, standing on your tippy toes. I love spelling I-O-W-A a la YMCA fashion. I prefer doing the “I” although I don’t have an explanation.

Although...
Big giant I with double flipping the bird does convey the slogan of, “Fuck you, we’re Iowa!”

Them Crooked Vultures
I saw them last November in LA when a buddy of mine told me to check them out, not knowing a lot about them beforehand. They were awesome. Grohl is a beast on drums.

here in charlotte. they were amazing. saw the austin city limits set as well. the sound was a little lacking, but it was regardless.

I haven't seen a whole set ...
but I dialed up “New Fang” on YouTube. I got about 15 seconds in and FUCK. YES.
Excuse me for my bellicosity. And spelling. Bellicosity and spelling.

I was flipping through the channels last night
And i was like “When did Queens get a new bass player?” and “damn, he’s got a nice bass!”
He must’ve done very well for himself before joining.

she wants it straight up the middle
I’m talking about a field goal between her hands.
With this:
pervs
Is it wrong
That I am totally in love with this woman? Because, it it is, I don’t ever want to be right.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
