IOWA PLAYERS: SWIMMING IN AN ILLICIT POOL OF CASH
Well, actually no–but they might have taken cell phone bennies from a local cell provider! Isn’t that risque enough for you? Listen, we know we’re all hankering for some explosive, Oklahoma ‘84 style expose to come along…but in the mean time, someone’s been giving the Hawkeyes cell phones. CELL PHONES, WE TELL YOU! We all know they’re a gateway drug for larger, more elaborate forms of outlandish communication equipment. We’ve got to nip this in the bud before meth-hopped Iowans are the first thing our alien overlords hear…(HT: MiamiHawkTalk.)

Oh, it starts with cell phones. It ends with the VLA–and who wants that in their backyard?

Sheesh. We finally get a scandal like all the other real programs have, and it has to be this. This is as embarrassing as Ball State’s textbook-lending flapdoodle. I should just start following D-II ball.

Start with the Brian Bosworth wikipedia piece, Azher. If you’ve seen The Program, it was close to that.

For those of us that aren’t older than dirt please explain the Oklahoma 84 reference. I realize that I should probably know what you are talking about but I wasn’t born until the next year so please enlighten me.

BTW…what other college football blog gives you references to the Very Large Array? We’re damn proud of that one, and not just because it’s in the opening twenty minutes of 2010 with Roy Scheider and Bob Balaban.
Well, I might have if I had got there first… I dropped a Crab Nebula reference sometime last year, so nothing is out of bounds.
Also, the VLA gets a dubious film credit in “Contact.”
