MARCHIFORNICATION ROUND 1: FRANIMAL VS. JOEPA
What have you done? Taken over the beaten-down Iowa hoopyball program and infused it with new life, implored us all to GET MAD (and followed his own advice, too), inspired one of the greatest Beyond Photoshop threads in this site's history, gone on a voyage to the moon, led off Horace E. Cow's invaluable hoops recaps.
#6 SEED: JOEPA

What have you done? Retained a quarterback, been defeated by Iowa (again), declined to attend the inaugural meeting of The 7-5 Club, worked with Vladimir Putin to try and eliminate Ricky Stanzi and the rest of Team America, kinda coasted by on his reputation, frankly.
LET'S GET IT ON!

Did JoePa go to the moon on rocket blasts out of his ass?
I think not.

I bet JoePa was part of the original Soviet space missions.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
In the 1960s, JoePa was busy coaching men who looked kinda like Lee Marvin.
Fran McCaffery has, to date, not beaten Ed DeChellis (!) and he has certainly never coached anyone who looks kinda like Lee Marvin.

JoePa was part of the original Nazi space missions.
Here is where I would put a custom ‘shopped pic of JoePa in a spacesuit standing on the moon next to a V2 holding a Nazi flag, with the earth behind him and the caption “1942”, but I’m feeling unmotivated.
JoePa was at peenemunde?
I heard he wanted to bring Von Braun in to call all Penn State’s pass plays next season.

I’ll be watching the comments and try to make my decision. I am leaning towards Fran because JoePa had a down year here. I mean… if this were the year of the Chronicles it would be no contest but its not.. Someone convince me!

I have to go with the Franimal.
He needs the fan support behind him so the team can get better. More butts in the seats = more wins. Or so we’ve been told.
I'm torn, but I'm not sure it matters.
Obviously that dastardly JoePa will just assassinate or imprison Fran if Fran pulls it off, so does it matter who I vote for?

What's wrong with you people
no way would MR. PATERNO ever be ok with losing to a damned Irish!
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
JoePa has my vote
1 – I hate…oh what do you guys call it over here? “Hoopyball”. JoePa represents a better sport. And at this age, his skin matches the ball.
2 – Giant Mammal (Pa Kong) over Giant Reptile (Franzilla)
3 – Sorry Hawks, but if your coach can’t beat Penn State, he can’t win here.
4 – I want to see JoePa advance to meet Pelican Whore
Your desire to see JoePa advance to meet Pelican Whore is likely to get uppended by a number of possibilities.
1 – Dino racecars
2 – Stanzi/DJK
3 – AIRBHG Don’t sleep on him, he’ll shred your ACL
Those are all potentially dangerous to P Whore and JoePa

I was going to make a "5th Terminator movie" joke here...
but I’d prefer not to, given the recent happenings in Arizona. I will not make threats and be put in jail.

Actually
It was an attempted riff on the “Fuck Clemson” meme which has been going strong over there for some time. The comments would seem to indicate that WE HATE IOWA is the preferred rip on us.
Yee-Haw! I ride again!

Once again proving that while their hate is strong
their directional skills are off, as we are over here, and that thread, like the other games that they chant it during, are not where we are.
It never gets to be easy.

I saw it about 3 hours ago. Looked at the level of intelligence going on there and determined it wasn't worth bringing to the attention of the brain trust here.
Think of me like Yoda. But instead of being little and green, I wear suits and I'm awesome. I'm your bro- I'm Broda!
I voted for Fran
purely based on the Franship blasting off into space. I mean come on, he flew to outerspace! Besides, that dastardly JoePa will be back. He always finds a way to come back.
He also found lots of little green Izzoians

This may be the toughest round of all for me
Fran— Seven technicals and counting, the photoshop alone is compelling, still losing but you can see the change coming.
JoePa— A slower year for him, frankly, but his deft handling of the QB situation gives him major points.
Just too much history here, and a for the chance to sabotage other matchups as he advances, I have to give it to JoePa.

Random question
Has anybody seen the movie “Cedar Rapids” yet? Is it good?

Planning on seeing it this weekend.
I’ll let you know what I think. Hopefully it doesn’t smell like burnt tires and oatmeal.
Now you ain't gonna come up here and steal Pepper Jack's best ho.
Why would it be called Cedar Rapids
and not smell that way?

Having flashbacks
And Crunchberries. The G.D. Crunchberries.
Thanks Niner, I really needed that reminder of CR. :-p
I drove up I-380 last weekend
And as we got close exclaimed, “I hope it’s Crunchberry day!” To which the fiance responded, “what the fuck are you talking about?” Then the smell of non-Crunchberry day filled my nostrils with stink and my heart with sadness.

I am from PA
was in Cedar Rapids a few weeks ago and asked my co-worker “what is that smell”

It received a B from reviewers and B+ users on Yahoo.
I want to see it. I think it looks funny even though it was filmed in that whore Ann Arbor.
There is nothing unfunny about Cedar Rapids
if it took place in Eldridge I’m sure it would be a laugh riot

Two thumbs up!
Saw it out here in DC with some fellow Iowans. Very funny! Highly recommended. While filmed in AA, there were multiple shots of CR, including the amazing Quaker Oats facility. I could almost smell it.
Cool, thanks

More like they're giving better tax breaks, probably

Not any more I think
there is some big deal going on up in MI because I think they are pulling those tax breaks.

I voted for JoePa.
I think Fran is still too new and un-depraved for me to vote for him in Marchifornication. Maybe next year, after Marge gets a tech and Fran has to pull her by her hair of the court.
