The Internets: Crazy Twin, Royce White, etc.
Posted on March 31st, 2008 – 2:55 PMBy Michael Rand
*Local Quipster does his Monday bit over at 10K takes, asking the question, Who replaces the goofy quotient on the Twins now that Lew Ford isn’t here anymore? (Ford, by the way, robbed Jacoby Ellsbury of a home run in a game with the Hanshin Tigers last week. We heard audio. It’s tremendous.)
*What does everyone make of prep hoops star Royce White enrolling at Hopkins? Well, all we know right now is that our own John Millea reported it in Sunday’s paper. Nice scoop for our guy.
*Woodrow Wilson attended, but did not graduate from, Davidson. Just so you know, Stu.
*Glenn Dorsey is tall enough to ride the ride.
*Matt Leinart perfects the plain as day funnel and tube to the mouth play. Yep, that’s what that is.

Did I say that Woodrow Wilson graduated from Davidson? Apologies for the error of fact if I did that.
Hopkins recruits better than Glen Mason and Dan Monson combined.
Ah, the joys of spring. Snow flying, wife and kids sick with the flu… And a seven run second inning. I guess the hitters are ahead of the pitchers.
Hopkins High School’s hockey recruiters need to get to work; they’re clearly being out-classed by the basketball recruiters at this point. Somebody call AD Dan Johnson - he can’t be pleased with his hockey staff after yet another middle-of-the-pack Classic Lake finish.
Stu — not correcting a fact, just heading off a potential Woodrow Wilson hunt down.
Q) What does Matt Leinart call a 3-way?
A) Thursday
Speaking of HS basketball, way to go Skippers. My friend cut CJ Erickson’s hair on Friday which is the most likely explanation for their 22 point comeback. This seems like a great place to mention that S.U. Perrookie’s field goal record was NOT broken at the game.
just heading off a potential Woodrow Wilson hunt down.
Although the only limits on the Hunt Down are those of the reader’s imagination, I do try to limit them to folks with at least a tenuous MN connection. I don’t believe that Woody, as I like to call him, had any.
(That said, “Stu Hunts Down Your Favorite Obscure Dead President” will be running every Thursday at Kirschtopia starting in May. First up is Chester Arthur. He gets what’s coming to him, let’s put it that way.)
Wilson was a founder of the League of Nations. Augsburg College, in Minneapolis, flies the flag of the United Nations.
Wilson’s buried in Washington DC. Minnesota stole Washington DC’s baseball team.
Wilson got married while in the White House, and threw a party. Jesse Ventura’s kids reached the age of majority while he was in the Governor’s Mansion, and threw parties.
That’s three tenuous Minnesota connections without the services of Wikipedia, Stu. I don’t think you’re trying hard enough.
+1, Matt.
That’s the same beer bong I sold on EBay last week! It was bought by someone with the EBay name “ILuvDenny”.
