Praise Jesus that he got benched after 2 games in '07. He is just painful to watch. The 2005 kick by Giannini was the only good thing he’s done in his Gopher career.

He also arranged music for the University bands for many many years. Chip’s grandfather was James “Red” McLeod, the guy who wrote “Skol, Vikings” and numerous other songs you would recognize.

I did find a video of Coach Woog's wedding reception at the South St. Paul VFW, when he still had hair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd-Z1zjlf8g The whole wedding party kicks in at about 1:23. But I can't get enough of the hip thrusts at the very beginning. Sorry, no video of the Vogue dance.

For the win in the NFC Championship game. Guess the Vikings should have traded 5 players and 6 picks for Chip in 1998 instead of Herschel Walker in 1989 (I guess we got the wrong personality in that trade). hmmm…30 yard field goal for the win.

Not for Fred Lane, obviously, but you know what I mean. Clarence: Jon Marthaler wants to know if you have any video of the incident for his Doug Woog fansite (http//www.theyrenotbooingtheyresayingwooooooooog.angelfire.tripod.com).

I spent a portion of my formative years traversing bars in the Nisswa to Walker beltway. I just can't put my finger on the name of that bar. But the image of the Wooger "striking a pose" with his little hands framing his bald head is seared in my memory. Thanks Stu.

I, too, have read Truly Tasteless Jokes VI. Jon: I'll see what I can do. Would Rhys Lloyd or Jim Gallery be acceptable substitutes? Clarence: Can't help you on the other bar name, but it's always nice to see the Commander referenced. Outstanding work today. Skol: no worries. I, too, have read Truly Tasteless Jokes VI.

I'm not sure if it was a Bean Hole Days sanctioned event or not. I wish I could remember the name of that bar. Anyone have any ideas? It was a few miles north of the Commander. Suprisingly* I do not remember much else from that night. *a lie I once saw Doug Woog dancing to a live techno band’s cover of Madonna’s “Vogue” in a bar near Pequot Lakes.
