Updates: Play4Brew vs. Cardinal, Molly Oberstar
Posted on April 28th, 2009 – 11:13 AMBy Michael Rand
In the RandBall Twitter challenge, Gophers head football coach Tim Brewster is now 30 followers ahead of nine-year Purdue standout Brian Cardinal, now with the Timberwolves. The RB challenge started with Cardinal at 774 followers and Brewster at 771. They are now locked in a mortal struggle to reach 1,500 first, and Brewster is forging ahead the fastest with a 955-925 lead. The contest has drawn interest from both parties — neither of whom was present or even notified when it started. Brewster appears to have more horses in the race at this point, as he has not only Tweeted about it (as Cardinal did) but has also made mention on his official blog. Remember, the winner gets a RandBall t-shirt. Loser gets two RandBall t-shirts! (Rimshot). OK, not really. But the winner does get a RandBall shirt. Just so we’re clear.
*Also, remember a few months back when we brought you the modest story of a young local figure skater trying to find her way in Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine’s Real Model contest? It was grabbed by quite a few other blogs, including Deadspin (22K views). And, well, we were flipping through the latest issue last night (yeah, we subscribe) and we discovered that Molly Oberstar won the whole thing. We don’t have the vote tallies in front of us, but we believe she had more than 10,000 and easily topped the competition. If our initial post somehow helped the campaign, well … we don’t know what. But congrats to Molly, up to and including her full lips and long legs. The above link includes behind-the-scenes footage from the photo shoot that appeared in this month’s issue.

The restraining order is in the mail.
As much as I like Brew’s tweets (mostly for his exclamatory enthusiasm and rip on Reusse), it bothers me that he doesn’t follow anyone else and doesn’t respond to anyone’s replies. I will not be ignored.
Let us replay Stu’s tremendous response to the original post:
I have physical attributes that would qualify me to be a real model a “Before” picture. I am 5-feet-8-inches tall with a slender doughy build that is toned by fifteen years of competing in the sport of figure skating sitting in front of a computer screen. My eyes are large bloodshot, my lips full chapped, my legs long could be mistaken for uncooked bratwurst. Many have Mom has told me that I should be a model move out, maybe talk to a girl. Some have even told me that I have an exotic, European look odor. Beyond appearances, I have a natural affinity for expression yelling at the TV when something on it displeases me. Figure skating A diet of Big Macs and Milwaukee’s Best has trained my body to move in myriad ways—from graceful to athletic— like a ball of chunky peanut butter and bacon fat, rolling slowly downhill, and my face to portray a wide range of emotions life gone completely, utterly to waste.

You can find that post over on RandBall Classic, along with ramon’s 3-part COW, Stump the Schuab and Bowling Green vs. Toledo.
Latte’s COW post up next, when I’m back from my meeting.
Is “meeting” code for “massage”?

Fixed as a public service to better reflect real-world truths.
“Speeding, drinking, nudity - they’re not bad things. They’re things a big portion of the community doesn’t think are wrong.”. Thank you, Deadspin, for making me smile.
I would never subscribe to a publication that objectifies hot figure skaters from Duluth.
