We're friends with the college gridiron geniuses at Every Day Should Be Saturday, having now drank (yes drank) with two-thirds of them. But once the season starts on Monday, we must ask them to refrain from stepping on our turf, as they did today with this little tidbit:
"14 black members of the Cowboys squad were kicked off the team that year for planning to wear black armbands in protest of BYU's policies of racial discrimination. (The official policy of discrimination was lifted in 1978.) Wyoming won anyway by a margin of 40-7, but the incident caused a national stir anyway, and led to further incidents like this one against Colorado State in 1970.
Most notably, when BYU's basketball team played at Colorado State the following winter (1970), protestors threw raw eggs and a flaming molotov cocktail on the floor, and a piece of angle iron struck a newspaper photographer, drawing blood and knocking him unconscious. Approximately 50 blacks and whites charged onto the floor at halftime to disrupt a performance by BYU's Cougarettes, and police were called in to quell the riot.
That's how one properly storms the floor. Enough history: bring on the Cougar dong, please."
Of course, it's always nice to see someone ask politely for the Cougar dong. We have no problem with that. But any subjective interpretation of the duration and legitimacy of a floor storming is ours by right of internet fiat (i.e. We made a list on the internet, so now nobody else can, right?).
I will be contacting my lawyer, Guillermo, to draft a cease-and-desist letter for Messrs Swindle and Freek, and Mlle. Anderson (Hope y'all can understand rural Spanish colloquialisms). Then, I will shamelessly add this incident to the Rules for Storming the Floor. It's a living document, much like the Declaration of Independence U.S. Constitution.
Oh, yes. And here's the Cougar dong you requested.
