Insider Information Weekly Mailbag 12-18-2019
Presented by Great Value brand toilet paper. Because sometimes a pine cone will do a better job.
@CoKane asks: IDK if I'm too early or too late or what is going on anymore but I'm gonna ask while Im here. Who do you think is the correct choice for Cyclone of the Decade(both coaches and players eligible)?
Pants: Georges Niang, and honestly, I don’t know if anyone else is even close? I know we’ve had some FANTASTIC national champions in cross country, but it’s just not visible enough of a sport, in my opinion.
GTO: In order: Georges Niang, Allen Lazard, Jamie Pollard, Matt Campbell. However, for being representative of what it means to be a Cyclone forever, I would go with Georges and Allen.
@demoncore1031 asks: How many times will Ian Book be sacked by Will McDonald?
Pants: 1, but he’ll get held a dozen times.
GTO: Agree with Pants here. He might get 1 or maybe 2 before the refs start protecting their blueblood and allow them to cheat/hold the rest of the game. Honestly, has been the story all year for McDonald, as no offensive linemen can match his speed. I would like for CMC to get into the ref’s ears so that they start calling those obvious holds.
@Cyforce with a lineup question: Any chance one of the incoming QBs gain enough of Campbell's trust that we could see Re-al line up in the slot on occasion? M seems to be the one position next season we won't have a game changer unless Milton moves back inside.
Pants: Milton will move back inside, and Re-al will transfer before he changes position.
GTO: I could see Re-Al getting some of the touches Nwangwu gets today before I see him at wide receiver. Either way, I have a feeling he may transfer next year if Purdy comes back for his senior year. Just a feeling.
@ImJustKCClone trying to doxx a Hok troll: Instate rivals has a newly minted (as of 12/15) "dislike fairy" named PeacefulRival. Whose alt is it?
@CloneLawman also adds: Further, please give us a complete psychological profile for the Peaceful Idiot. Thank you.
GTO: I’ve mostly avoided the ISR threads since the loss. The few times I’ve gone in there it has been unbearable. God bless
@CyTwins for the work he puts in there day after day. I have no clue who PeacefulRival may be, but the psych profile is pretty standard for most Hoks: peaked in high school, lives in parent’s basement, has multiple Hawkeye tattoos, can’t hold a job, sexually inadequate, and ties up all their home’s internet bandwidth by being on CF all day arguing with CyTwins.
Pants: I honestly haven’t posted in the rivals board since our loss last week. You people that can visit that place after a loss to them are braver than the troops.
@Cyched strikes again: Why do 'fat chance' and 'slim chance' mean the same thing?
Pants: Slim chance is a literal meaning whereas Fat chance is used as an ironic or sarcastic meaning.
GTO: Why are you body shaming fat chance? What’s next? Will you buy fat chance a Peloton for Christmas and force him to keep a video log of his year-long journey?
@BCClone trying to decide on what to add to the Costco shopping list: What brand of toilet paper is the best?
GTO: Charmin is my favorite, but I’ve always been bothered by the butt-wiping bears. The worst one is the commercial where the bear has pieces of toilet paper stuck to his butt. I really don’t need to visualize a bear wiping his ass everytime I think of your brand.
Pants: Angel Soft is a surprisingly soft, yet affordable brand.
@BCClone asks: Is it ok to tell people who you don’t know well that what they said is pretty darn dumb(in some sort or other)? Or even telling them that they ate one of the dumber people you know? I live in a town full of stupid people and it gets annoying after awhile. I’m talking in person, not on a message board.
Pants: I think I had a stroke while reading this. Do they become more dumb by eating a dumb person? I’m typically a pretty blunt person, and have no qualms with telling someone to their face that what they’re saying is stupid. The way to do it is to frame what they say or do as stupid, and not just calling they straight up stupid.
GTO: Some tribes believed that you gained strength by absorbing the life force of animals/people you ate (also depicted in the criminally underrated movie Ravenous). In this case, it would make sense that eating someone dumb would make that person even dumber. But I digress. If you need to tell someone they’re dumb, the best way is to mock them by exagerating their dumb behavior right to their face.
Pants: So like…..in kind of a Highlander sort of way?
