“Tim Brewster’s eternal optimism annoys some people up in Minneapolis, but his outlook is, for the most part, what the Minnesota program needs. You’ve got to love his aggressive approach to scheduling and his openness to change in the Big Ten. Brewster must make his mark on the field this fall, which won’t be easy, but Minnesota needs a guy who dreams bigger than seven wins and a minor bowl game every year.” —

Big Ten - ESPN

Brewster doesn’t annoy me personally. I actually love that he’s challenging himself and the program. Much better than wallowing in mediocrity.

I’ve been playing NCAA Football 10 for my PS3. It’s a good game, although there are a couple of annoying points for me. First of all Minnesota’s new stadium opening this year is not in the game, just a generic outdoor stadium. Not incredibly awful but not the greatest. But more annoying is that they forgot to change some of the audio and Brad Nessler still references the Metrodome. Weak.

He (and 2% of the population) suffers from Electromagnetic Sensitivity and lives in a house with 18inch thick granite walls. I wouldn’t be able to survive.

So funny.

“TCF Bank Stadium will not be in EA’s NCAA Football 2010” —

Shit! I just bought this game last night because I thought it would be there. Damn. Oh well. It should still be a good game.

UPDATE: I finally played the game and discovered that they use a generic outdoor stadium named TCF Bank Stadium. I suppose it’s better than the dome.

Meterbrat

Being the awesome person that I am, I’ve decided to attempt (and conquer) the meterbrat at Gastof’s for my birthday.

I’m excited about it, although, as it get’s closer and more and more people ask me if I’m preparing, I’ve begun to think about it more. Therefore I’ve run some numbers and determined that while filling it shouldn’t be a problem.

The largest thing that I can recall eating is a Chipotle/Qdoba burrito. In comparing the two, the meterbrat is roughly the same as two burritos (by volume and weight). I can put down a burrito with no problems and even have room for more.

Here are the numbers:

I figure that a brat is about 8 inches in circumference and the meterbrat is a meter long so that figures to be ~200 cu in. A burrito is about 14 inches in circumference and is about 7 inches long so that figures to be about 109 cu in. Considering the two sides I’ll have to eat this roughly means that (meterbrat and 2 sides) = (2x Chipotle/Qdoba burritos).

PS. I first saw this on the show Man v. Food on the Travel channel.

PPS. If you care to watch me, call me. I’ve made a reservation for Saturday, 7/18, although I left a few extra spots. Call me and I’ll give you more details.

I find that as I’m writing a paper I can only write a paragraph or so, before I have to take a break for roughly twice the amount of time it took me to write the paragraph.

Jack Wilson’s catch and throw for the Pirates had me laughing in disbelief.

“A recent British survey of 2,000 women and men revealed IT nerds to be at the top of a list of lovers’ occupations, as reported by The Sun newspaper. According to the survey, IT nerds were ranked so high because they were found to be the most selfless and adventurous lovers, as well as much more open to using tech gadgets (ahem) outside of the office. Even more specifically, the survey found that 82 percent of IT “geeks” interviewed said that their partners’ pleasure was the most important thing to them.” —(via juliaallison) (via meghanasha)
