Extravaganza=2 videos instead of the usual one. First, we have Virginia Tech fans reinventing the wheel by doing their own “management retreat” in the stands during a blowout, complete with a new iteration of “the trust fall.”
Then, to balance the silliness, a reminder why Brett Favre earned that high draft pick.
Terry Hoeppner had a busy year: taking over the most difficult gig in the Big Ten, getting a program together out of the proverbial ashes, and having a tumor removed from his brain and not dying. Besides that, not much going on in the Hoeppner household. (HT: Ben Maller. )
Hoeppner has had to curtail his schedule a bit, since undergoing “proton therapy” does really take it out of you. (”Proton therapy” has not given him any superpowers, unfortunately, which would really help with the Indiana job. In combination with the surgery, though, it did play a large role in saving his life, so it’s got that going for it.) Despite having a tumor removed from his head, undergoing 33 sessions of treatment, and being so enfeebled by the experience he couldn’t drive or lift more than ten pounds for a time, Hoeppner missed a grand total of four days of work.
You may return to the weak, lazy endeavor you call life now.
Proton man says you are weak and must lift MORE weight and MORE reps.
Just sitting here…you know, typing at random. You know what state we like? Mississippi. We especially like the Ole (not Old) parts of it. Maybe we’ll get over there someday.
Hmm what do we have to do at the old day job today? Maybe a little recruiting…yeah. But we better be careful! Wouldn’t want to call someone at the wrong time, or someone’s gonna be pissed!
But how would we know what the right time would be? Hmm…maybe we should write a letter of inquiry.
Oh, and one last thing. You know who a good-lookin’ guy is? That Ed Orgeron. He’s positively dreamy. No particular reason we’re mentioning this here.
Kanu’s otherwise fine blog Dodgy At Best has been soiled by a dilettante’s hand. In case you doubt the beauty of World Cup soccer and its attendant kill-at-will fanbase, consider these two anecdotes:
–This South Korean fan, who set himself on fire in 2002 in order to become an avenging ghost who would serve as the “12th man” who would lead his team to victory. Those of you who feel disgust when reading this, leave the room. Those of you beaming in admiration, please stay.
They’ll let anyone write about soccer these days. Really.
