An open letter to the Iowa football team

Gentlemen,

It is hardly noteworthy to inform you that there is a growing level of concern about the performance on the team. We're coming off a losing season. We haven't been ranked in God knows how long. Hell, we just watched a lowly, pathetic, sad-sack Iowa State team beat us without ever setting foot in the end zone. We now embody mediocrity.

Obviously, this cannot continue.

I cannot force any of you to change your ways. It was either Shakespeare or Stapp who said, "to thine own self be true," right? So if you're going to fuck up, God damn it, fuck up like you mean it!

Look at Lance Tillison and Bradley Fletcher. Plain old DWI's. Sure, they're bad from a legal and moral sense, but you're never going to put this program back on the map when you get shitfaced and just decide to drive. You couldn't find a single mailbox with which to practice the ancient art of Ramming Speed?

You know what, guys? You really want to get a DWI? Fine. But do it on the 50-yard line. During the second quarter.

As a matter of fact, let's really start amping up our on-field performance. You know the story of Rock Raines, right? Let's create our own legacy. I've taken the liberty to renaming some of the players, so if you fellows could start picking up these drug habits and using them to your advantage, that would be wonderful. Bong Dalton, Five Grams Stross, and Tied-Off Condom Full Of Ecstasy Iwebema, you guys know what to do. Oh, but Kenny--you don't want to hide the E up your butt. Trust me on this one.

No more pussy-footing around. Any idiot can swipe a credit card and use it online. We go big! If you look in your lockers, you'll see enough weapons and ammo to arm half of Israel, so go rob those Badger bastards before the game. I don't care if it says Camp Randall; this is OUR HOUSE!

Or instead, maybe you could start playing football like you fucking mean it. Either way, quit half-assing it. It's embarrassing.

wait a sec...

Dalton, Iwebema & Stross haven't been in any trouble that I know of... why on earth would you pass up Clint "the pee guy" Huntrods, Arvell "Pell Grant Cash Money" Nelson, or "DDidn't know I couldn't charge with this card" in favor of those?

I mean sheesh, reality provides you with more creativity than imagination on this one.

fair question

to my knowledge, keosa, nobody on the team has been pulling a Hollywood Henderson with drugs on their person during games.

It's time to change that. Those three seem like leaders.

Why not play "Pull the Scholly?"

Every week, identify the biggest slacker that played more than two downs and pull that lazy motherfucker's scholly!

In three weeks, motivation and effort won't be a problem.

And think of the money we'll save!! Think of the scholly's we'll open up for guys that DO give a shit!!!

Hmmmm, maybe this SHOULDN'T be as facetious as I intended it....

Search your soul--you know I'm right.

oh, Director...

For someone with a tagline like that, you say some of the most ridiculous shit.

Ridiculous shit? Try CRAZY!

Dear Mr. Surprise:

You should set your Crazy-o-Meter's detection level a little lower, 'cuz I wasn't serious. Actually, I thought the point of this blog WAS to say all kinds of ridiculous shit!

Still, there's nothing crazy about making sure the young men you spend tens of thousands of dollars on each year are home and in bed by midnight instead of spraying alcohol-laced urine all over a Dubuque St sidewalk. Or driving drunk in a crowded city with inattentive pedestrians.

Now--you KNOW I'm right on this one!

Search your soul--you know I'm right.
