Here it is, the breakdown of what's to come tonight when the new divisions are released on the Big Ten Network. A lot of folks out there think this picture means something, so I took the liberty of breaking it down for you.
I present to you, the new divisions of the Big Ten in simple terms for all of the curious parties out there...
Now try to stop laughing at the desperate pleas of an Iowa State head football coach to get tickets sold at his stadium. Pleas that were well scripted, as he read them off the teleprompter in front of him... even though it was supposed to look like an ad-hoc interview.
Between Pollard and Rhoads, this ISU Marketing Dept is ON FIRE!!! WOO HOO!!! CLONES!!!11!! Just over over a week to go before the start of the season and Iowa State puts out a clip from their head football coach begging for people to buy season tickets. "Season ticket hoarders" to be exact. Embarrassing.
You'd never, ever, see this sort of thing from Kirk Ferentz.
So... I just happened to look back at some of my older YouTube videos. I was checking out some comments, and some of my replies. Apparently I didn't look very closely at the ISU Blooper video I put up a few years back. I replied to a user, grantmahoney21, who, after a closer look could actually be the Cyclone place kicker.
Take a look for yourself:
His profile sure appears as if it's him. If I was in his shoes, though, I probably would have said the same thing... especially after missing those field goals.
I like to dabble in sound and video editing. Talking w/ my father-in-law a couple weekends ago, we started discussing music origins and all the songs out there that have roots in older music... he had made a mix of some songs that were based off one and another. So I took a couple days and put together a 2 disc CD with mashups of songs and their derivatives... and "Know Your Roots" was born. Here are some samples of some of the songs I paired up. All songs are chronological, any predecessor comes first in the song mix and in the title of the song itself.
Canon Hook: (Pachelbel to Blues Traveler)
Lady I Got (Beatles to Sublime)
Waiting for Mary Jane and Dani (Jayhawks -> Tom Petty -> Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Eighties as You Are (Killing Joke to Nirvana)
I Got a Love Song (Croce -> Stone Temple Pilots)
Maid Freed from the Gallows Pole (Niles -> Zeppelin)
