It's Not Plagiarism If You Link To It Just Wants To Enjoy Its Yardbird In Peace

The giant shark is called “megalodon”…MEGALODON! It’s a fucking Transformer name and it’s a shark, which by the way, have brains and genitals made of dynamite. Has television taught you nothing?!?

Yeah, but bigger.

using Terminator Pig as the model

EnteloDONT fuck with them.

/see what I did there.

I saw that clip on last week’s SNL.

I think I’d enjoy “actors” making fun of 80s style R&B more if I didn’t absolutely hate those “actors.”

GOLDEN. PURE GOLD.

Also: That’s Gaga? I always assumed she was unattractive under all the makeup

Because I would love to be a fuck doctor.

The only thing I must disagree with is, that the dumb actions of these guys can get out of hand and hurt others. Weekends in IC will always have “adventure-seeking” behavior. But, it can get out of hand quickly, especially if drugs or alcohol are involved.

But yes, KF doesn’t need to be echoing this stuff months after the fact. We have plenty of positives we can focus on on the I-Club circuit: Coker, the O-Line, Hyde, Prater, Morris, Daniels, Binns, and others. Let Norm and Brands handle the jokes.

And let me have an SEG gullibility moment: KF isn’t actually saying that the coaches watch soap operas, right? (Yeah, he’s joking. Definitely joking).

But I must agree that they are not a good fit with the Big Ten. However, if we were ever considering Texas to break into that market, then GT to break into Atlanta/Georgia isn’t completely completely retarded.

Still, I favor going with a Big Ten of 12 rather than adding GT and Maryland right now.

And, I’m watching the news right now, and Kachine Alexander was waived by the Minnesota Lynx today.

but they could get them so they did. It’s good to be king.

don’t know that there won’t be movement sooner than expected

there’s been rumblings from the Big East, MWC, C-USA, etc that there may be some teams moving around in the near future

just one totally hypothetical scenario that could affect the Big Ten with Delany doing anything- –
Army and Navy are (maybe) being looked at by the Big East which could change the Independent landscape a little, which could have Notre Dame reevaluating their position, etc.

it’s a one-off example (there are a lot of holes, and it was just one of many possibilities, which is why I didn’t flesh it out) but there are many ways that other conferences realigning this off season could affect the Big Ten

hybrid guys

I’ve been reading a lot about some of our new guys being safety/backers or DL/backers. It reminds me of Matt Roth and Sean Considine (etc.) days.
Hopefully we can recapture some of that.
I can’t wait to see what we look like in the fall.

E.g., just the other day I got this one from a 6th grader: “Can ducks* swim?”

*He actually called it a “duckie,” but whatever.

I don’t have the exact context so I’m making my own but I took his statement as:

Sure last year had challenges and things didn’t go as planned but that happens every single year. While many of the challenges we’ve faced over the last 12 months have been unique, the fact that we were presented with challenges certainly isn’t unique.

Last year happened to be one where we came out on the losing end more than we would have preferred but the fact that we lost a lot of close games doesn’t mean that last year was special or different in any way other than the final results of those games.

Lastly, I hate pot heads.

It could be worse, take a look at Columbus.

I guess there’s always a couple different ways to interpret these things. Also, I had five minutes to develop this message, Ferentz likely had less than five seconds. I’ve never been to an I-Club banquet but I’m assuming this came as a response to a question.

I liked this message. Also, I seem to remember reading an article on here before the bowl game where Ferentz was chastised by the author for acknowledging that there is a particular situation (day after Thanksgiving, I think) where he wouldn’t be overly excited to play a game. If I remember correctly, the author’s contention was that he should have said that we’ll play them today, tomorrow, or the next day and kick their asses. It may have been regarding night games in Arizona or something, either way my point remains. Also, for what it’s worth, I don’t believe that Ferentz even made the statement that was being criticized in that article. So yeah, Ferentz is going to be criticized no matter what he says (in my experience, especially on this site) but who fucking cares? Certainly not Ferentz.

1) You guessed it – there are some people that will never be satisfied
2) More importantly – No matter what he says, a certain percentage will have a problem with it. If he says something aggressive, it’s too demeaning to the opponent or not understanding their strenghts. If he points out the flaws in his own team or coaching style it’s not showing enough leadership or dwelling on negatives. If he says it’s a game of inches and close wins are the difference between 11-1 and 7-5, he’s not doing enough to not make them close or not caring about how that’s perceived.

Really, every single thing he says is pretty much no-win because everybody who has a problem with any specific part will always, by human nature, be the first and loudest to respond. Maybe you have a problem with what he said, sounds like you and Ross do. Maybe 50% of people don’t have any problem with it, but I can guarantee you with 100% certainty which side we’ll hear first and loudest. It is that way with every issue, every time. And always will be.

I’m guessing this is one of the reasons Ferentz preaches not rocking the boat and not stirring up media for himself and the entire program, but I don’t think I should be putting words into the mouth of the $4M man who clearly knows how to well run a very large and complicated organization.

He expected excellence from everybody on his squad (from the blue chipper to the lowly walk on). The Iowa wrestling squad isn’t about moral victories or excuses.
