Weekend links: Jon’s frost advisory
Posted on September 15th, 2007 – 1:31 PMBy Michael Rand
Our best guess is that Jon is currently working himself into frenzy for tonight’s Gophers vs. Florida Atlantic tilt. Hey look, Jon’s just trying to have a good time, OK? At least he had time to throw some links your way. Jon?
It might hit seventy degrees here in the metro today … and if you happened to be out early enough this morning, you had to perform the Autumn in Minnesota Ballet, where you realize you have not yet put the ice scraper in the car, and thus have to do the dance where you try to scrape the frost off your winshield with your fingernails. Ah, Minnesota; you can’t beat it.
A few links, for your electronic/literary pleasure today:
*All of you men out there who are married to wives of childbearing age, read the Sports Gal’s rant and be afraid. Terrified, even. You could be in the line of fire soon, perhaps sooner than you think.
*Los Angeles Times columnist TJ Simers headed out to Nebraska a little early so he could spend some quality time making fun of farmers. On behalf of everyone from a small, rural, farm-based community, I’d like to say to Simers: go [redacted] yourself.
*Before this week, I knew the following about Tim Tebow: 1) He was a quarterback at an SEC university; 2) he’s probably higher on the Hype Meter than any other college football player not named McFadden; 3) He posed for this picture with a rather emphatically shaped female. Based on these three
pieces of knowledge, I inferred a lot of other things about Tebow — all of which are apparently dead wrong. (Hat tip: Deadspin.)
*MJD at The FanHouse thinks that Bill Belichick should have been banned for life. I must say, I agree 2,745% with MJD, but this is partly because I have discovered this week that I actually hate the Patriots as much as I hate the Yankees and Red Sox.

He posed for this picture with a rather emphatically shaped female…
That may be the understatement of the year. Those things are the size of my head!
Rough Gopher game…ouch!
That’s about all I have to say about it.
I’m just hoping that they can pull off some kind of upset in the Big Ten this year. A one-game upset, not a climb-to-the-top upset. We’ll see.
I hope the Gophs go 0 for the Big Ten schedule. Then maybe Maturi will actually get canned. Maturi should be thanking god that he works in the same town as McHale, Taylor, Pohlad, and Wilf. The media seems to have forgotten how horrible of a job Maturi has done in the 2 major college sports. Maybe Tubby will turn that around but I really doubt it.
It was also great to see Iowa lose to Iowa St. and ND start off the season 0-3!
I’m benching Kitna this week I hope that it doesn’t come back and bite me in the [redacted]!
Holy crap, my team sucks…
Hell, Rand already has half the points that I had last week and it’s not even halftime in any of the games. Wonderful!
I can see I am going to have to chew some [redacted] [redacted] in the locker room this week. My team is playing like [sheet]. Do you think Dennis Green is available to come get my guys going for next week?
Well, my guys were scoring. Then they just stopped. Fortunately, I have twice as many players left to play, but I’m already 40 points back…
