The first movies aren't awful, but they're not classics.
My biggest problem, one I can’t look past, is the fact that their creator is an egotistical little man who can’t help but damage films or revise them (See: “Han shot first!”) because he seems to doubt himself.

My chiropractor is a native, born and raised, of eastern Iowa, though he's not a Hawkeye supporter.
I already knew this, I already liked him for his candor, self-confidence, and honesty (Hence my defense of chiropractors a while ago), but I learned more today. I walked in with my prized possession: WOO WRESTLING NATIONAL CHAMPIONS YEAH. He looked at it and read it out loud, I said something, then he said, “You only won because Gable wasn’t coaching anymore.” I acknowledged this, but did mention that Brands is still a fine coach. He then mentioned that he had wrestled. I knew it! I knew his self-confidence and his perfect ability, as an average-appearing middle-aged man, to do a wrestler’s bridge, had to come from something cool. Oh, but he didn’t just wrestle. No, he wrestled at Washington High School near the Rapids. He wrestled against one of the Zalesky boys (Lennie, I think) in high school (Neither of us said anything about the result, but I know he had to have lost).
He also spent a single year as a student at Iowa, and he did some work around the wrestling program. He wasn’t on the team, but he and a bunch of other guys were, if I comprehended him right, basically used as practice – meat – for the scholarship guys. He distinctly recalled two wrestlers in particular, and I loved his characterizations because they were what most people, deep down, would think: Barry Davis, who was “really, really small”, and Chris Campbell, who was “this gigantic black guy.”

Original post makes it sound like I walked into the office with Quentin Wright on my shoulder. That sounds awesome, but I know it’s impossible because Quentin is really heavy and I’m skinny.

I bet you're just jealous because you never got to scrimmage against wrestlers who could pick you up and kill you.
I don’t know if he saw the look of awe on my face when I heard names like Zalesky, Davis, Campbell, Gable (HE SAW GABLE IN THE FLESH), but it’s enough to make me want to challenge some top wrestler, get destroyed, and then tell some young wrestling fan years later that I wrestled against some really, really good guy who nearly killed me!

No I'm not because I played Sega and hung out with National Champions and Biggest Loser winners
that wrestled for Gable and with other National Champions. My senior year in high school I talked to Gable at the Des Moines Co I-Club event so I’m pretty good.

The 1st time I saw Gable close up was in a hallway in CHA
Before basketball games we were allowed to warm-up in the wrestling practice room (wall to wall mats in case a stunt went wrong). It was well past office hours but as I was walking thru a semi-darkened hallway to the wrestling room, Gable strode out of an office. I’m sure he’s a very nice man but I still wanted to melt into the wall & apologize profusely for something.

Gable rode my bus once
From a Finkbine parking lot to CHA during the nationals when they were in town in the mid/late 90’s. He gets on, sits right up front and didn’t say a word. He didn’t have to.
My bus schedule was such that after he got on, I still had to wait at the stop for a few minutes before moving on to the next stop and eventually to CHA. Well, there really wasn’t anybody riding at that particular time and I’ll be damned if I was gonna waste Dan Gable’s time so after sitting there for about 30 seconds, I drove him straight over to Carver then circled back to where I should have been on the route.
I can absolutely see how people would follow him into hell. He just has a vibe. It was really kinda wierd.

I was at an Iowa baseball game with my dad probably 7 or 8 years ago. They had just had a really good spring trip and this was their Big Ten opener against Michigan. In one of the early innings my dad and notice some commotion and turn to see that Gable is walking through the stands (his daughter was dating one of the baseball players I believe). Anyway, everyone in the stands turned, forgot about the baseball game, and said hello to Gable. EVERYONE. Pure adulation.

When I’m at BSD, I always make sure to type it like this: Coach Fry. I never have to do that with Dan Gable (Although I do make sure to put reverence on my tongue when I say his name) because he’s simply Dan Gable.

I was thinking about this the other day.
Presumably, the biggest thing keeping DJK from even getting a shot on a roster is perceived “character” issues. While I happen to think that DJK suffers from a lack of character, if a team ends up giving Terrell Pryor a shot they can never again claim to be concerned with “character”.
There is no greater display of a lack of character than what he has done throughout this whole process, which has only been topped off by him throwing OSU under the bus and conveniently copping to taking cash in order to further his own self-interest. The whole thing sickens me.

But you would agree he probably has better relationships with some than others.
Considering DJK holds career receiving records and was routinely listed as 2nd string on the depth chart as an upperclassman should tell you something about DJK’s standing with the coaching staff.

Hard to argue that, especially with McNabb there to (in theory) keep defenses honest.
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
yeah, I think he has a chance to be great.
Like, similar to what he did last year for an entire year. But I put that at a small percentage of a chance. I think he will be bad, though.
meh
There is the least amount of consensus regarding the #1 pick this year than I can ever remember.
Which is good. Also, auctions people, auctions.

…and in my league we get bonus pts for over 100 yds so Ray Rice isn’t quite as valuable, but at 7th, I’m hoping for one of them.

How about CJ? Are we expecting his holdout to be over? How about residual effects of it?

I'm looking for Shonn Greene to be good and undervalued this year.
The only problem is that my leagues are primarily Iowa fans, and you know someone is going to take a shot on him and pay more than they should. I also think Ryan Grant is going to be a sneaky good value this year.

PPR? You've got to consider Forte in there, then.

Best not even close in my book. Look at last year's numbers.
Turners Stats: 16 games 1,371 rushing yards 12 TDS, 12 receptions for 85 yards 0 TDS——225.60 Fantasy Points
Best Stats: 13 games 555 yards rushing 4 TDs 58 receptions for 487 yards 2 tds -——201.10 fantasy points..
Best played hurt a lot of last year.
by KirksGumInHaydensStas on Aug 18, 2011 9:01 PM CDT up reply actions
Turner played hurt a lot too, no?
Plus, I probably overvalue the “The Man” factor. I’m not sure the Lions are sold on Best as “The Man”, and they pass a shitload.

You have to forget the "man" factor in PPR to an extent.
If he catches the ball 75 times an increase of just 7 passes. Runs for 800 yards and receives 700 yards 10 total td’s he is every bit as worth michael turner in ppr.

Primarily after they play Chicago. Peppers likes to kill him some Stafford.
But I don’t think they play until later in the year.

I'm drafting QB's late.
My goal is to get Mendenhall, then Jackson/Forte/McFadden, then Mathews/Blount/Benson/Greene third.
We only use 2 RB’s but if I could get three, I’d be happy. Take a QB in the 6th (after two WRs), then get Bradford later. But if not Bradford, Stafford could be good.
Don’t know why I want Stafford or Bradford, but I think they could be really good.

I like McFadden this year.

Why did she ever leave NZ?
I would never leave so I could reenact Lord of the Rings every day.

Porcine obesity is no laughing matter.
Talking piglets are hilarious, though.

Watching the Steelers/Eagles
Pains me to say that Greenwood is not looking so hot. He was totally juked by Dion Lewis and his lack of speed is apparent. I hope the best for the guy but I just don’t think he’s an NFL athlete.
I check cheddar like a food inspector
so, Northwestern didn't go with the purple court. imagine that
They did, however, pick the one with the shitty “Chicago’s Big Ten Team” motto across it.
Pats/Bucs is on NFLNetwork right now
Clayborn overpursued and got blocked out of 3 straight plays. Not a really sharp start for our guy.

1st play of the 2nd drive
Clayborn got double-teamed and chipped. McCoy was single blocked. Not sure what’s going on there.
yeah, Clayborn just got double-teamed again by Solder and Hernandez.

... and he just asked to come out for a breather in the red zone. Pats immediatley get 6.

Finally!
Clayborn fought off Mankins and Solder to get to Brady and hit him in the knee. No sack but made him throw it away.

I gotta admit that WOI ABC 5 playing along with Colbert is pretty funny.
He has been hounding them for a week now.

In other words...
it’s dank.
It’s really quite excellent, though.

I was thinking a laquered turd on a plaque would be better
Actually given to the men and women’s winners of the Buffalo Stampede – a local 10 mile race here in Sacramento each September – they take a real buffalo pile, laquer it, and mount it on the plaque and the overall Men’s and Women’s winners each gets a plaque. I’ve actually touched it… its pretty cool.
And a hell of a lot cooler than that trophy.

That looks like the trophy that should be given to the winner of the best ear of corn at the State Fair
not the the winner of the biggest football game in the state.

I'm holding out hope that Iowa only agreed to use the trophy because they expect to drop ISU once the B1G schedule goes to 9-games
by The Mexican't on Aug 19, 2011 10:53 AM CDT up reply actions
Not that anyone at either school or the Iowa Corn Growers will care
but you can vote whether you like the trophy or not (NOT) in the DI’s poll.
I think this is reason enough to drop ISU. Besides, whoever designed the front plate with the logos did not take into account the fact that ISU changes their logo every other year.

That's a lotta plate changin'.
I hope they bought in bulk.

Or for the family
that had the best time in the 3 legged race at the family reunion
Or for the winner at the State Fair for the best quilt.
Terrible, just terrible. How come Iowa has to be involved in so many terrible marketing/trophy/press release related items?
All my good friends at BHGP helpled pick this most awesome name!

Everybody wants to try to 'liven up' our image.
Our team comes out in basically the same uniform for 30 years (we’re no penn state, but still), we play the same defense no matter what, we run the same plays no matter what. Our coach gives few, if any, sound bites. Face it, from an outsider’s viewpoint, we’re boring.
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
I'm not sure how this would liven up our image.

This won't. The point was that people are always trying though.
Infamous examples: The crack hawk. The winged jerseys (sorry Chazz, they were an abomination). This stupid ass trophy. The heroes game.
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
Can we just tell the Inconsolable One to just keep the trophy, regardless of how badly we beat them?
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
Here, I'll fix it:
loser ISU is forced to keep the trophy
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
05 Citrus on BTN right now.
I forget just how awesome our special teams was back then. Not one, but two blocked punts. Ridiculous…
