I was driving through Vermillion today and noticed the Yotes practicing. So I decided to roll down the window and yell "Go State" at the top of my lungs. I know it was childish but it sure was fun. "Let's Go Rabbits"

Re: Childish Moment - But Needed to be Done
Well I coach high school football with two former Bison players and I said to one of them today "rough season ahead for the Bison missing so many guys to jail time, huh"...he really didn't have anything to say in response. I love being able to take pot shots at those guysI updated my signature for the first time in six years.

Re: Childish Moment - But Needed to be Done
Admission time: Back in the day, when I worked at SDSU, I had a van-full of SDSU staffers in Vermillion for a meeting.
This was during the school year--in the spring, I think.
One of us needed to mail some letter (I don't know if it was a bill or a birthday card, or what) but we stopped right in front of one of the USD residence halls, and the mailing-person got out and put whatever in the mailbox in front of the residence hall.
I think I was driving the van.
My window was rolled down.
As soon as the person put the letter in the mailbox, I yelled at the top of my lungs "OK, let's get out of here!" out of the window, and the mailer, playing along, scurried as fast as he (or she--it was a long time ago and I don't remember that detail) could back into the van. We slid the back door shut and I think we actually burned a bit of rubber peeling away from the mailbox.
Many USD students stared at us with their mouths open as we sped away.
Ah, Vermillion."I think we'll be OK"

Ah, Vermillion.“I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems scary and wierd. It’ll happen to you.” — Abe Simpson

Ah, Vermillion.
Regarding yelling "Go State" at USD players practice, why do that when you don't want to play us? Filbert, your prank was just plain naughty and uncalled for.
When I drive through Brookings, I ask any student I see what I can do to make life better for them, and most just say..."please offer me a job"

Seems like a good place for self-smack and admissions/confessions of prior naughtyness. And that was about as naughty as I personally ever got.
Although i did always want to throw a dead Viking on the court at some Augie game, after the dead rabbits came out . . . couldn't figure out how to smuggle one into the game, though."I think we'll be OK"
