Big Ten Media Days: I Can Call You Bobert, and Bobert, When You Call Me, You Can Call Me Al

Our correspondent meets Jerry Kill
Three years ago, in anticipation of Big Ten Media Days, we went in search of Bobert Garthe "Bob" Zook, the older brother of Illinois coach Ron Zook. Bob was living in a storage shed in Pensacola, Florida, bowling in a Tuesday night league at a nearby alley (not a bowling alley, an actual alley), and searching far and wide for his long-lost younger brother. You see, Bob Zook was born with Russian Reversal Syndrome, a disease that rendered him smell-impaired. Ron had spent his childhood studying the disease and refining his own sense of smell so that he could smell for both himself and his older brother.
Then he became a shampoo aficionado, and just like that, Ron was gone, lost to a seedy underworld of shampoos, oils, and linaments. Bob hasn't seen his brother in years, despite a single-minded effort to find Ron and reconcile. This isn't just a brother, mind you. This is the man's sense of smell we're talking about.
We're here to help, of course, and so while we weren't able to procure media passes for ourselves, we pulled some strings and got Bobert yet another press pass for media days. Bob acts as our correspondent, tweeting updates (@BobZookROLLIN) and interviewing the coaches in attendance over the next two days. He might one day ask you to be his nose. For the next two days, let him be your eyes and ears.
(Should actual news break, we'll be here with it, but let's face it: That's never going to happen.)

Listen. if we had lost the Civil War there probably wouldn't even be football
our national sports would be:
Union spotlight – Picking off rebs who drunkenly wander too close to the Mason-Dixon security fence line.
Mississippi Mudslide – see who can make it to the Gulf in a kayak, while avoiding river fortifications and patrol boats.
See, aren’t you glad we won the civil war, ultimately paving the way, 115 years later, for black kids to play for southern teams and eventually making the SEC our deep fried football overlords.

If the south had won the war
the SEC would have issued a statement in 1960 that they were no longer going to participate in the yankee n***** sports and cancelled football to concentrate on NASCAR and whipping techniques.

Check out BSD two weeks ago
The Civil War was re-fought, and Texas lost, and the evil slaveholding regime was overthrown. Now it’s some sort of Communist collective, I think.
What southerners?
Most of the people on this blog who live in the south don’t seem to like living there very much. I doubt they would defend its honor.

Living in St Louis has actually made me appreciate snow
I never thought it would happen after growing up in Iowa. It’s also made me appreciate cooler weather. Not being able to go outside in the summer really sucks. And the nasty blue mosquitoes that seem to be attracted to my blood. I’ve never been bitten more through 25 years of life than I have in the last 4 years of living in St Louis.

Er, that last sentence is kind of wonky
but basically the number of times I’ve been bitten by mosquitoes throughout my 1st 25 years of life is less than the number I’ve been bitten by them in the last 4 living here. Bug spray doesn’t work either. The most successful bite-deterrent is some Avon body lotion.

Grant only drank when he was bored
and long sieges are probably kind of boring when your in the rear. When the action picked up, he put the bottle down.

He never got drunk during the War. Period. No historical evidence to suggest otherwise. The people who do try to suggest it are either from the South or hacks who think it makes them cool to pick holes in truly great men.

Without Grant, there is no Sherman as we know him.
As a matter of fact, Grant was actually more revolutionary and, I suppose you cold say, more ruthless than Sherman in terms of waging total war to crush the rebellion. The difference is that while Sherman made statements like “I will make Georgia howl” Grant never made any such public statements. Rather he put his ideas in his orders via typically simple and straightforward language.
Lincoln and Grant are unquestionably my favorite pair of Americans.

Perhaps.
However, that stat is probably the total casualties (It wasn’t like it was the Bloody Angle every single day) divided by the number of days of campaigning (Also, he never really “attacked” Richmond, he campaigned against it for several months). And a good many of those casualties were probably from diseases, the most powerful of all Civil War killers.
Also, fun fact, Robert E. Lee took many, many more casualties in all of his campaigns than did Grant. And Grant won every one of his fights.

What really annoys me is that the conference appears to not want to change the name of the conference, but still seems to want to de-emphasize “ten” since we now have 12 teams. And they do it in cutesy ways like this.
And all of this is still a minor imperfection compared to the atrocity that is “Leaders and Legends.”

I laughed when nobody wanted to ask him a question for about the first 20 seconds.
Also, did the Captain actually get through that open-mic with nary a mention of rhabdo-gate or the drug issues? But they DID ask him about Mike Slive’s plan to (openly) pay players? Fucking amazing! And an absolute sign that real journalism is nearly dead.
/to be fair, when I say journalism is dead, I’m not referring to the Gazette guys. I’m sure they know they’ll get better answers to their questions later in a smaller setting.

The guy who asked if Iowa was looking to beating Ohio State
Is actually an Ohio State writer.
Wow.
I'll just put COMING SOON down here.
Just confirms what we already knew:
OSU media/coaches/administration/most-of-their-fans are narcissistic MFers. Even in a year where you’d think they’d pipe down because of their own shit-storm, and they can’t help but ask a question like that to the coach of a team that might not even play them for at least two or three years.

They still assume that they'll win their division, obviously
So maybe it’s flattery that he assumes Iowa will also win theirs?
I wish that were so.
But it seems that most in the media have ranked Nebby and MSU (and a few may even haf jNW and/or Michigan) ahead of us.
