OT: Your (Hopefully) Four-Day Filler

   1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?
I shared mine above. I was, like, 5 or 6, so give me a break. Toy Story was the first movie I ever saw in theaters.
   2. For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play.
I went to the KU-NU game two years ago. We won 76-39. Needless to say, it was a fun game to watch, and I got SHWASTED afterwards.
   3. Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.
In no particular order: Avenged Sevenfold, Silversun Pickups, The Killers, Michael Jackson (hate him for what he did – OK, but his music was undeniable) and Tom Petty.
   4. On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy.
I gave mine with the Pac-Life Whales line. Top that.
   5. If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, proffesional – ANYTHING – who would it be?
This is hard, because there are so many. I’d like to choose all misery and UK fans, but that would be cheating. So, I’ll settle for a solid right hook to the side of the throat of John Calipari.
   6. Top 5 sports movies of all-time.
Major League series (counts as one), Friday Night Lights, Gridiron Gang (such an underrated movie), Remember The Titans and Coach Carter. All obviously pretty new movies, because they are from my time period.
   7. There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D)
I like the innocent looking, dark haired, smart and sexy look, so naturally, Rachel Bilson would be my choice here. Pretty self-explanatory really.
   8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
Yes, the man did his time, paid his debt to society, was punished enough in the nearly $100-million that he lost, had his name drug through the mud and, IMO, learned something from it. At least, I would say, “how could you not?”

1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get? I used to get a Nerf football every year, mostly because previous Nerf’s skins wore off from use. Didn’t matter – Nerf, Nerf Turbo, etc. It was always all good.

2. For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play. 2005, beating Nebraska 40-15. After years of watching those turds (actually, most Nebraska fans I know are great people, plus when I have gone there for a football or basketball game, the fans have been great) invade Memorial and turn the bowl red, it was sweet watching them leave (and early!). Cornish’s run was sweet, but Kevin Kane’s INT return was pure delirium. Posts came down, which I generally think is dumb, but being able to get a shot of me and my mates on the field with the scoreboard in the background was timeless.

3. Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.
  R.E.M., Ben Folds, Wilco, Chris Isaak, any of the Marsalis franchise.

4. On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy. To paraphrase Daniel Stern, "If excitement were people, I’d be CHINA!!!!!"

5. If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be? For a long time, I would have said Andre Agassi. But then Andre dropped the country club smarminess that made me think of kids I grew up with, shaved that ridiculous highlight job, shelved his lazy approach to his athletic gifts, and focused on being the best he could be. He was so focused when he won his first U.S. Open in ’94, and unseeded at that. No celebrating, no cockiness, just ace-winner- ace- fuck you- next shot- give me anything-I can top it.

So I’ll go with Quin Snyder. Another smarmy, shaggy, lazy asshat. Plus, I’m pretty sure he’d just cry. Or ask me for some blow.

6. Top 5 sports movies of all-time. Slap Shot, Bull Durham, The Natural, the original Longest Yard, and all-time favorite Hoosiers.

7. There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D
As a general rule, I don’t gravitate towards Indian women. But Padma Lakshmi is wicked hot, and cultured. And single…..so you’re telling me there’s a chance……

8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
  I’m pretty sure there are some other undesirables in the NFL today. Vick’s crimes, while grotesque and incomprehensible, ain’t what locked him up for 18+ months – it was mostly the lying to the feds, obstruction, and RICO violations. Long story short – much ado about Mikey is just a tempest in a teapot. People cheer for thugs in other sports every friggin’ day, so I can’t reconcile the hubbub over Vick. I say yes.

1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?
Crap……SNES
2. For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play.
Standing by hott girls at every game
3. Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.
Zeppelin, Metallica, Disturbed, Van Halen, 2Pac
4. On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy.
 1….lol
5. If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?
 TOM BRADY
6. Top 5 sports movies of all-time.
   Not a huge fan….for some reason I’m having a block
7. There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D)
MEGAN FUCKING FOX
8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
   Yeah but I would have liked to see him go to the Browns…LOL

1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get? Pocahontas. I fucking love that movie. And Super Mario 64, my favorite game of all-time (I’m also the proud owner of one of the fastest 120 star speed clears in that game’s recorded history).

2. For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play. =(

3. Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time. Pulled straight from my Facebook: 10.) Explosions In The Sky
9.) Savage Garden
8.) Breaking Benjamin
7.) Enya
6.) Lifehouse
5.) Simon & Garfunkel
4.) The Eagles
3.) Elton John
2.) AnBerlin
1.) AC/DC

4. On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy. I’m Pac-Life Whales about Todd Reesing graduating and never playing against CU again. After that, let’s say a 5 if you beat Nebraska, a 1 if you don’t.

5. If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be? Peter King and his merry band of Pro Football Hall of Fame voting ass clowns. I hate all of them until the day they figure it out and get it right.

6. Top 5 sports movies of all-time.
 1. Field of Dreams 2. The Natural 3. Major League movies 4. Friday Night Lights the TV Show >>>>>>> FNL movie, but I still love the movie 5. Hoosiers, but only sometimes. Least Favorite Sports Movie : Two way tie between Million Dollar Baby, because WTF CLINT EASTWOOD DOESN’T CRY, and the Air Bud movies, reasons self-explanatory.

7. There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D) Minka Kelly’s character on “Friday Night Lights”, Erica Durance’s character on “Smallville”, and Isla Fisher’s character from “Definitely, Maybe”. If you’re asking for just one woman, I don’t have an answer. Nobody stands alone.

8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL? I have absolutely no qualms about him returning to the NFL if he’s reformed. 18 months in jail couldn’t have been fun and
I’m willing to give the guy a chance to succeed with the rest of his life.

1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?

Ummm, that’s a toughie. I guess my Nintendo 64, because that was just “aces”. You have no idea how many hours I’ve spent playing Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 64. But, they are two of the greatest video games of all time, so I don’t really care. Other “aces” N64 games — Donkey Kong 64, Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball (the greatest baseball game of all time — RBI Baseball 2 is a close second) and that one basketball game with Kobe on the cover. I loved that game.

2. For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play

I will cheat, and say the Orange Bowl. That was just an awesome experience. Especially after, walking around Miami. After the game, me and my dad went to this sweet Miami pizza place — some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Topped off one of the better days of my life. Aqib Talib’s pick 6 is my favorite play in Kansas history.

3. Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.

Can I name 40? I go through spurts where I love certain bands, so depending on when you ask me, it could be an entirely different set of 5 bands. Which kind of goes against the true meaning of the question, but hey — that’s me. With that said, I’ll try and answer with the 5 that are most consistently among my favorites.

Something Corporate
Our Lady Peace
Counting Crows
Dave Matthews Band
Jack Johnson

And, because I’m the boss, and I can cheat, here are some other ones that I absolutely love, listed in alphabetic order:

The Airborne Toxic Event
Cobra Starship
The Cab
Cold War Kids
Dear and the Headlights
Forever the Sickest Kids
The Fray
Jack’s Mannequin
Jimmy Eat World
The Killers
Paramore
Passion Pit
Relient K
The Starting Line
Switchfoot
Thousand Foot Krutch
We the Kings
Yellowcard

I like music, sorry.

4. On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy.

What’s the analogy to, again? As excited as I’d be if this was a reality. I have to win over KC with that one, right?

5. If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?

Easy. Sooo easy. Jonathan Papelbon. Honestly, it’s incredibly irrational how much I hate him. It’s a combination of the media thinking he’s good, him taking half-an-hour between every pitch, his stupid bleeping face every time he looks in with his lips in a circle, his stupid celebrations and, most importantly, his general doucheyness. He is the definition of anti-aces.

6. Top 5 sports movies of all-time.

We’ll make this dramatic and go in reverse order:

5) Rookie of the Year — Used to be my favorite movie when I was like 9, so it’s up there for those reasons. I’ve watched this movie probably like 12,000 times.
4) Hoosiers — I re-watched it the other week, and it was better than I remembered. IT doesn’t have the sweet, sentimental moments that Rudy had, but when one of my Top 5 favorite scenes of all time in any movie is when he measures the hoop height and lane length. You can’t NOT love that.
3) Major League Series — Ohmygoodness. One of my little brothers, who is now 15, hates sports. Especially baseball. I made him watch it, and he loved the movie. That shows you how good of a movie it is. So funny.
2) Remember the Titans — Soo damn awesome. For multiple reasons. Not the least of which is Petey, or Turk from Scrubs. Oh, do I love that actor. Also, Denzel bleeping Washington. One of the better movies of my lifetime.
1) Rudy — Sorry. I know a lot of people hate it. I’m impartial to the Irish, so it isn’t like this is biased, either. But I can’t help it — I cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I watch this movie. It’s impossible not to. EVERY! TIME!

Honorable Mention: Happy Gilmore, Talladega Nights (both are funny, but they probably don’t really count), Coach Carter, Hoop Dreams (I’ve never seen the entire movie, so I didn’t want to put it in the Top 5, but the hour-or-so I watched was just as incredible as everyone says), Friday Night Lights (like everyone else, though, the TV show is waaaaaaay better).

Non-Honorable Mention: Bull Durham. One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I hated it.

7. There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D)

Wow. What a surprise, KC. Anyways, I guess I’ll go outside the box and select Taylor Swift. I don’t like people who look too model-y, if that makes sense. A close second is Jackie from That 70’s Show. I can’t remember her name right now, but I love her.

8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?

I could go on a REALLY long rant about this, so I’ll just leave it with a short FUCK YES! He beat some dogs. Yeah, it’s gruesome, and yeah, it’s stupid, and yeah, it’s not a good thing. But Leonard Little killed another human being, and went to jail for like 30 days. And was suspended for just 8 games. I mean, come on. I realize Goodell is sending a message, which is good. But he better send a much bigger one to Donte Stallworth, who killed a man in Miami in April or March or something. Now, I don’t think he should be permanently banned, or anything — but the fact that Vick got nearly 2 years in prison is a joke.

OK, I’m done.

1) What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?
            Voltron Castle – had that thing circled in the toy catalogue for a month before Christmas.

2) For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment?
            Orange Bowl. That one was pretty easy. I was cold, sick, and wet but easily one of my most memorable evenings.

3) Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.
             Metallica
             Boston
             Prince
             Herbie Hancock
             KANSAS!

4) On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season?
              Yes.
 
5) If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?
               George Steinbrenner. Repeatedly. (John Elway is a close second)

6) Top 5 sports movies of all-time.
              Bull Durham
              Field of Dreams
              The Natural
              Miracle
              Caddyshack
 
7) There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours?
               At the moment, I have a pretty serious thing for Anne Hathaway. I know, not the Megan Fox some of us may have been interested in but there’s something about a classic beauty that’s tough to beat. Am I getting old?

8) Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
              Absolutely. They guy’s paid his debt. He’s doing outreach and education. Being a bleeding heart lib, I’m always willing to give people second chances…

1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?

Well, I think I’m a little like Labba here but Castle Grayskull was a biggie for me as a kid….combine that with the motorized spider that skeletor rode in and I was a happy camper.

2) For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment?

            Honestly there weren’t a whole lot of good memories while I was at KU so I’d have to say the Missouri v KU game last year. Edge of my seat the whole game, stuck in a swarm of Missouri fans who kept throwing their damn yellow streamers all over me when they scored. When Kerry Meier caught that last touchdown, I let out one giant YES!!!! the rest of the section was silent. The guy behind me just looked at me and said “Well, Shit”….they knew they lost.

On a side note Kendrick Harpers Brother almost kicked some dudes ass in my section because he threw nachos down from the upper deck and it landed on him and Harpers Orange Bowl Jersey.

3) Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.

            Rolling Stones
            U2
            Counting Crows
            Widespread Panic
            Steve Earle

4) On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season?

              There has not been a suitable unit of measure invented yet
 
5) If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?

               Anyone who said Quin Snyder is unfortunately wrong…he was the greatest thing to happen to Missouri basketball and I wish he were still there.

I guess if I had to pick just one, it might as well be Jim Boeheim…don’t really hate anyone too badly but losing the NC to him still pisses me off. He’s a damn whiner.

6) Top 5 sports movies of all-time.

             Rocky
             Field of Dreams
             Rudy
             Hoosiers
             Sandlot
             
 
7) There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours?

            This is cheesy as hell but since you didn’t specify how they stand above all the rest I think this one is open to interpretation. Right now, I’ve got to say my new daughter, she’s so damn funny and makes me smile constantly. Well almost…

8) Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
            
           Yes and it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks right now because the media and America love a comeback story…if he’s successful there will be only a few dog lovers out there that remain staunchly anti Vick.

   1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?
 Gameboy Color. Best thing ever.

N/A

Can’t really link to her. Someone special though :)
   8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
Sure, why not. Can Brett Favre be banned after his next “retirement”?

sign on for the first time ALL DAY for 15 minutes, come back – 31 new comments. Good job.

1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?
Proving what a spoiled brat I was, I don’t really remember a lot of the toys I got specifically at Christmas, with one exception — The Technodrome from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That shit was awesome with the sides swinging open, secret doors and the fucking eye on top that could roll off and potentially crush one of said Ninja Turtles. What’s more, I got it back when my mother still had patience and she spent all the night before putting all the stickers on.

2. For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play.
Easy. The 2004 KU-KSU game at Memorial Stadium. We beat the Wildcats 31-28. It was the first true sign that the program was turning around and it was fun to see all the crying and angry KSU fans after the game.

3. Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.
Just five? Shit. I’ll give you the ones I’ve been listening to the most recently…
-Jimmy Eat World
-Ratatat
-Barenaked Ladies
-Snow Patrol
-Green Day
Also, I’ll give a shoutout for The Sailor Sequence. A college friend is in the band, they just released their first album on iTunes and I’ve kind of become addicted to it.

4. On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy.
I’m not quite sure how the scale is supposed to work, but let me put my excitement this way: Saturday’s game, and this season in general, are going to rock the casbah sideways on a pogo stick.

5. If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?
Calipari would be at the top of my list of asshats needing a severe attitude and facial adjustment. The rest would have to be groups of people, such as Missouri fans, North Carolina fans and those fucking Nebraskans that always took my parking spot in front of the scholarship hall when the Huskers played at Memorial.

6. Top 5 sports movies of all-time.
I’ve never been that big of a sports movie guy, but I’d have to say Friday Night Lights, Rudy, Angels In The Outfield, Varsity Blues and Big Green.

7. There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D)
Julia Stiles. Attractive, talented (an actress AND a soccer player? Hells yes.) and smart (she went to Columbia). I’m gonna be lazy and not post a link.

8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
Yes, because in six months, no one is going to even care anymore.

1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?
I got a SEGA Genesis with NBA Jam and NHL 94. It was (and is) AWESOME.

2. For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play.
That would have to be the Orange Bowl. I was not at the game, but I watched it on TV, very nervously, just wanting KU to prove it belonged there. They did, and still do.

3. Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.
The Cranberries
Roxette (look it up)
Johnny Cash
Ace of Base (laugh it up, fuzzballs)
Regina Spektor

4. On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy
I’ll call it Princess Leia’s golden bikini.

5. If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?
Scott Boras

6. Top 5 sports movies of all-time.
1. The Natural-I cry at least 4 times in that movie, more when I’m watching it with my almost-2-year-old son.
2. Miracle-Great story made even greater because it all actually happened.
3. Happy Gilmore-The price is wrong, bitch
4. 61*-not widely seen, but a really good movie
5. Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others)-This is not a sports movie, not at all, but it’s the best movie I’ve seen in the last 10 years. If you have not seen it, you must watch it, even though it’s subtitled and in German.

7. There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D)
A little off the beaten path (so to speakl), but I’ve always had a spot for Kate Winslet, and always will.

8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
I generally say that I respect those with whom I differ on this or that subject, but I simply cannot understand the furor over Vick’s return to the NFL. He was convicted. He was sentenced. He sat in a crappy Leavenworth, KS cell for 2 years (or whatever it was). Frankly, I don’t give a crap if he’s not really sorry and is just saying what he thinks he needs to say to get back in. He paid his time. He knows dog-fighting is illegal (if not immoral, inhumane, etc.). He will not do it again (while he’s in the league). End of story. If we weren’t as a society going to let the man live after he paid his debt to society, why didn’t we just give him the death penalty? Give me a break. Let the man make a living, and let his fans enjoy him while they still can.

1.What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?
Easily N64. I made mario run a full circle, first 3d type environment. I shat myself. I almost lost every friend I had because of that thing.

For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play.
Seeing KU win the Orange Bowl in person in Miami, followed by the Border War last year, a much needed boost to end a disappointing year.

Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.
No way I can narrow this to 5 so I’ll be more specefic.
Hendrix – My biggest guitar influence.
Led Zeppelin – Best range of material in music, hard and heavy, soft, folk, has it all.
Smashing Pumpkins – Most of my favorite music is from the 90s, the did 90s style alt rock the best.
Green Day – not into them much these days but the reason I started playing guitar, one song off Dookie at a time when I was young.
Ryan Adams – If you aren’t familiar with his stuff go buy gold to start and listen. Great stuff. Go listen to Gold. Now.

On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy. I’m the shark who eats the minute maid lemonade bottles in that commercial. He woops the Pac-Life Whales.

If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?
Dick Vitale? No it is Chase Daniels. I can’t get over how much of a dbag he is, looks, the fact that he is shorter and fatter than me, etc.

Top 5 sports movies of all-time.
Raging Bull
Rocky (I dig boxing I guess)
Hoosiers
Brian’s Song (tears)
Sandlot (YOU PLAY BALL LIKE A…?)

those should get you started.

Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?
Yes, second chance, and we have people in the league now that have killed people. And I am a dog and animal nut.

I feel like a weight has been lifted since doing that!

What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?
I would probably say my basketball goal I got as a youth. I always had to go around the neighborhood to play and then my parents got me one for our driveway and it was great. Basketball was pretty much life for me from like 10-18 so that was a good one.

For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play.
It’s close between 2004 KSU and 2005 Neb but KSU was first and was so much more dramatic, I’ll let the LJWorlds recap the next day do the talking for me:

The Jayhawks lost another lead in the third quarter Saturday against the rival Kansas State Wildcats, but came back with 14 straight points in a 31-28 victory – KU’s first against KSU in 11 years.
KU defensive end Jermial Ashley kept the deficit at four points by blocking a 49-yard field-goal attempt by Joe Rheem, giving KU a first down at their own 32-yard line. Five plays later, Swanson made up for the earlier fumble with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Mark Simmons.

The junior wide receiver’s one-handed grab gave KU a 24-21 lead with five and a half minutes left in the game.

Jon Cornish and Brandon McAnderson dropped KSU star running back Darren Sproles deep in KSU territory on the ensuing kickoff. Meier, unable to communicate with his teammates so close to the loud and obnoxious KU student section, had to call KSU’s final two timeouts

This was when the student section was on the South Side of the stadium where the current visiting section is. The classic “ohhh ohhh, oh, ohhhh ohhh oh oh oh oh” chant started this game (if you’ve been to games in the last 4-5 years you know what I’m talking about.) So f’n rowdy this game, I don’t know if I remember a crazier student section in my long career as a student at games but this one was nuts. So f’n loud.

Two plays and 54 seconds later, Randle broke four tackles on a spectacular 43-yard scoring run, giving KU a 10-point lead with just more than three minutes left in the game.

One of the craziest, most spectacular plays I’ve witnessed at Memorial Stadium. I think people died on the bottom of piles in the student section.

Finally, a pay I’ll never forget from that game:

The Jayhawks extended their lead to 11 points, 17-6, with a 27-yard field goal by Johnny Beck and a 24-yard hook and lateral from Barmann to Brandon Rideau to Randle.

That play was so sweet, after it when we went up 13 everyone in the stadium knew we were going to end the streak.
Obviously, that game sticks with me pretty well.

Incubus, 311, Sparta, Kings of Leon, Bone Thugs & Harmony (had to include someone from my early music days of 90’s rap)

On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season?

10 Pac Life Whales jumping out of the water with #5 Jerseys and KU Blue helmets on.

If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?

This is the easiest question on here, without a doubt Emmanuelle Chriqui, I would work 20 hour days if it meant I had 1 hour a night with her (need a few hours sleep as well). Here and this because it’s too hard to pick just one picture

Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?

Yeah, why not. 2nd chances are a good thing.

I assume we’re not including Major League: Back to the Minors here right??

1. What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?

Hmmmm… Probably my Ninja Turtles sewer base and the Turtle Blimp. Man, that X-Mas was the jam.

   2. For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play.

I’m gonna have to go with the hilarious year where we tore down the goal posts not once, not twice, but three times in a single season! I remember throwing them in the lake, then following a parade of people taking the other one all the way to Mass Street. Fantastic.

All I can say is that my pants feel funny.

   5. If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?

This is tough. There’s a lot of overrated d-bags in college hoops from the past that I’d like to punch, but they all seem to get what’s coming to them when the fail in the NBA. So I’m gonna have to go with the Drama Queen in Wranglers, “Brent” Favre. Way to ruin that guy’s career the other night in a meaningless scrimmage, dickhole. Oh, but he’s just having fun out there! Because everyone else in the NFL hates the sport, except for Brett Favre. Brett Favre. Brett Favre. Sorry, almost turned into an episode of Sportscenter there.

   6. Top 5 sports movies of all-time.

1. Hoop Dreams (reality always better than fiction)
2. Hoosiers

4. Friday Night Lights
5. Talladega Nights

   7. There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D)

I’ve always been a Kate Beckinsale guy. The accent just puts her over the top. Link is kinda NSFW, btw.

   8. Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?

Hell yes. The double standard we have for dogs in this country is strange to me. Have you ever watched a rodeo in person? Those animals are not having a good time. Throw in bear traps, shooting wolves from helicopters, etc., and it’s clear that we’re pretty sh*tty to various species and most people seem cool with that. But somehow dogs are different. I’m not a PETA guy at all- I just think the double standard is weird. Just my opinion.

I’ll play.

1.What was your favorite Christmas present as a child/ present you wanted that you did or didn’t get?

I got my own tv set when I was 10 (1980). A 13" color tv. In my own room. None of my friends could even come close to that coolness. And it was the last thing I expected to get.

2.For the guys that attended KU, what’s your favorite football moment? Could be a tailgate, celebration, game or just a play.

There are many. Here are some (no particular order):

a) Monte Couzzen’s late TD run to seal the victory over OU….happened right in front of me.
b) Hook and lateral play during the 2004 KSU game
c) Scott Webb’s OT game winning field goal over ISU
d) a tailgating moment: Before the 2003 MU game, three very drunk, obnoxious MU guys enter a Porta-Potty and simultaneously relieve themselves…..leaving the door wide open for the rest of us in the long, long lines to see and hear. As they stumble out, the lady in line behind me turns to her young kids with her and loudly says: “see kids – that’s why I call MU fans a bunch of no-class hicks”. This narrative doesn’t do the moment justice. It was awesome.
e) Bill Snyder’s first KSU game vs KU (Coached by Mason). Coach Snyder continued to call runs up the middle, even though Gilbert Brown and Dana Stubblefield and others were exploding into the backfield every play. KSU ended the game with something like negative 36 yards rushing. My Dad was with me and after the game he turns to me and says….“that KSU coach is a real genius”. And I agreed. Kind of ironic how are sarcasim was right at the time, but the statement also became somewhat true. Coach Snyder turned out to be an excellent coach…but wtf was he thinking that game?

3.Top 5 favorite bands/ musicians of all-time.

1. Iron Maiden
2. Iron Maiden (yes, I love this band that much)

10. Dio

Ok, so you got more than 5….

4.On a scale of 1 to the Pac-Life Whales, how excited are you for the upcoming football season? Kudos to the person with the best/ funniest analogy.

Extremely excited. You remember Belushi’s speech in “Animal House”: “Quit? Did we quit when the Russians bombed Pearl Harbor?” Yeah, that excited.

5.If you could punch one person in ALL of sports – college, professional – ANYTHING – who would it be?

If they couldn’t punch back – Mike Tyson
If they could punch back – Rick Pitino

6.Top 5 sports movies of all-time.

2. A League Of There Own
3. Major League – “Get behind the ball Dorn – don’t give me none of that Ole bullshit”

7.There’s one woman in the world that stands above all the rest for every guy, who’s yours? (Yes, we would all kindly appreciate a link :D)

Jewel – hot and extremely talented musician (not my taste in music, but I could learn to deal with it)

8.Do you think Mike Vick should have been reinstated to the NFL?

Of course. He belongs in the National Felons League.

Bensa…they have a greatest hits album…if I knew how to buy CD’s still I would get it.

I found something that might intrigue you.
