Let me tell it to you as clean as I can.
We have 95 players here so accomplished as athletes in high school, we gave them full scholarships to the best football program in the country. NCAA regulations allow us to dress just 60 for home games, which means at least 35 scholarship players are gonna be watching the game from the stands. So if any of you has any fantasies about running out of that stadium tunnel with your gold helmet shining in the sun, you best leave them right here. Of you 15 dreamers out there maybe we'll keep one or two. My job is to basically beat the shit out of you for the next 5 days, and whoever is still standing at the end, maybe we'll use for our scout teams. You'll be running the oppositions plays week in and week out. The greatest value to us is we don't care whether you get hurt. Our first teams are going to pound on you like you're their worst enemies.

Like what you hear so far?

Any of you wanna run home to momma? Now's your chance.

Joe, they're all yours.






30 days! :woohoo:

Happyiowan thinks I need help. Been watching old games on BTN almost nightly. Last night it was Purdue-OSU from 2001. Drew Brees' bomb. Good stuff.

4. Posted it in the Iowa forum, elleng.
My nephews are visiting from Hotlanta (one of the UofI's primo targets) so they are seriously considering it. This didn't hurt: http://www.kcci.com/entertainment/24478890/detail.html
