MARCHIFORNICATION ROUND 1: STANZI VS. DJK

THE #2 SEED: RICKY STANZI

Itouchstanzi_medium

What Did You Do?  On the field, the defending Marchifornication champ garnered some early dark horse Heisman buzz, then forgot how to throw a pass in November as Iowa collapsed against Northwestern and Minnesota (slightly redeemed in a bowl upset of Missouri).  Off the field, well, he was still Ricky Stanzi, and Captain America continued to enthrall the masses -- the epic All Stanzi All the Time thread is Exhibit A -- despite his unfounded hatred of Ped Mall hippies.  Explained the national phenomenon that is "Love it or leave it."  Tracked down hot Russian spies with Adrian Clayborn and Ace.  Continued his campaign for president.

THE #7 SEED: DJK

Djksnag_medium

What Did You Do?  On the field, he only set every significant Iowa career receiving record (except for touchdown catches), singlehandedly attempted to keep Iowa in the Minnesota game with a kick return and the only sign of life from the entire team.  Named himself  "Mr. Third Down," and then went out and became it.  Off the field, got in trouble for Facebooking again, then got in trouble for unspecified reasons before the aforementioned Minnesota game, then got himself in all sorts of trouble with the law.  Quickly had virtually all charges dropped, even though his behavior got him booted before the Insight Bowl.  Made the federal agents mad for his flagrance by hopping on Twitter and letting us all know what it's like to be DJK.

We will all remember this:

But it's Marchifornication, son, so for today it's this:

I very, very reluctantly pushed the button for Mr. President, but really wanted to vote for DJK.

Stanzi and DJK, DJK and Stanzi. Anyway you put it, it these two always seemed to be on the same page and bring out the best in one another on the field. I think it is very telling that Stanzi’’s bowl performance suffered both this year and last year when DJK wasn’t on the field.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

I think the shirt is real (the water of the fountain goes through part of it, which would take dedication—though BHGP is dedicated to batshit insanity, so it’s possible).

Was gonna comment on Boobs McGee in the back with the Richard James face (or whatever that is), but thought it best not to be the first to bring it up.

The toughest one yet,,,, im at wits end

but that happens often and i am not sure
whether it was all the drug use prior to my 22nd birthday
or the the fact that even though DJK let me down
he did it with style and class
and brass balls the size of my bowling ball
wait i sold my bowling ball when i got divorced
it was a ruse, a fake bowling team to go drinking on wednesday night
until my ex wife noticed our team scores werent in the paper
ohshit supreme
and i havent had a drink in 17 years
but i cast my vote for Ricky,,,,,,,,
still has the potential to end up in the finals with the
beloved pellican whore
he is more american than richard nixon
wait that worked for a while until he thought he could lie
Ricky would never do that
Ricky is as pure as the driven snow
Ricky saves us from the running dog lacky capitalist fascist pigs commies ever day
They should make a room at the white house that is his forever
he deserves a seat anywhere anytime for free

long live the pellican whore

Um, well, uh...

DJK was about as stylish a guy as we will ever see roll through the Iowa football program. Even better, when some of the team looked to have mailed it in at TCF, DJK showed his true colors and played full out. For better and for worse, I suspect we will not see the likes of him for a very long time around the football complex. He deserves a vote just for that. But still…I can’t get Stanzi, circa 2009, out of my head. I know, no lifetime achievement awards, but I’ll go a whole lifetime before I see anything like the Indiana game again, and some of the other roller coaster rides we all took. The Captain America stuff was just icing on the cake. Ended up voting for Ricky.
