North Dakota and South Dakota, more tricky than which one is Siskel or Ebbert or Penn or Teller. Sorry guys but American can't tell you two states apart. Why don't you two states just merge? So Wentz went to NDSU? Congrats, I'm not a fan of the Fall Out Boys but his ex wife, Ashley Simpson, is pretty hot. Speaking of hot, the weather has cooled down to 65 degrees in Santa Barbara. Time to put those pre-cut tank tops away for a few weeks. When Phil Jackson coached the Lakers, he used to drive around Los Angeles in a Porsche 911. Does he still zip around in that same car in North Dakota too? I never chatted with him but he's a really big, slow moving dude. He looked like Shaq getting in that convertible with the General or your homecoming queen putting on a G string.
UCSB once played on ESPN and a sign read "Even Sunny Past November", If ESPN ever came to Baconville you guys could write "Even Sunny Past Ninth of July", that might win you something from Home Depot. If you guys are such a powerhouse in football, why have I never seen you on ESPN Game Day Saturday Morning? You know why? Old man Lee Corso would never survive a trip to ND. Too cold. By the time the show ended, they'd be putting Corso in a casket. That would suck, he cracks me up. He can't shoot those big guns when he's stiff as a board. You'd never live down freezing the old man.
Do you mind if I talk college hoops a little? It's kind of my passion. What brings you guys to beautiful Santa Barbara, CA? Obviously, the weather and town are unbelievable. The reason I ask is usually college coaches target Universities they travel to for recruiting. Shouldn't you guys be traveling to Pullman, Anchorage, and the North Pole? You guys could open up an Athletic Dormitory with Rick Pitino, Adam West, and Lamar Odom scheduling events and no way is a So Cal kid going to freeze his balls off in North Dakota. Sorry. Dude, the 10's here are the chicks, not the weather forecast. I'm just trying to help you guys out is all.
We have a new coach and some new faces and a couple solid graduate transfers. If it was an iditarod tomorrow, I'd take you guys but since we're playing basketball I like us to be honest. Anyone coming to the game? Hang out in Isla Vista beforehand and bike around from bar to bar. It's pretty fun. Freebird's and Woodstock's are two pretty popular pre game places. I promise if I see anyone in a Bison Parka I'll buy them a beer. Did Larry King go to NDSU? Every time I saw him wearing a parka in the stands during the World Series, I thought of you good folks. Our leading scorer tomorrow, Max Heidegger, will put up a career high 29 points on you guys... take my word.
Thanks again, best of luck.
