the ultimate metaphor

 

[DDThompson]

erratic? erratic? do you know the accuracy it took to skip the ball off the turf into a bird's balls? i didn't even know birds have balls...

 

[HawksMN]

On a day that wasn't funny, this is very much so.

 

[SteveGarvey1]

The whole game was like a football bouncing into the stones. How appropriate.

 

[PCHawk]

Herky might want to dress up in a hawkeye uniform next week just to make sure he doesn't get a ball thrown at him again.

 

[Tierney]

Ferentz seemed eager to blame his quarterback, but not any of the coaching staff.

 

[99topdawg]

Stanley gave us all a shot in the nuts on Saturday, except that this one actuall got Herky in the leg because Stanley's passes were all a bit (or a lot) too low all day.

 

[NEIChawk]

Is Herky dressing in Saturday? A friend of my cousins cousin heard he might be out . Can anyone confirm?

 

[DDThompson]

I didn’t see him on the depth chart.


But KF is mum about injuries.

 

[Northside Hawk]

In all fairness, that ball missed the veggies by a few inches.

But then again, Blutarsky got his countries mixed up when he tried to rally the Delta's with his Pearl Harbor reference

Sometimes it's better to not let the facts get in the way of a good story, or metaphor.

If everyone wants to believe that Herky took one in the jewels because it was the perfect symbolic synopsis of Stanley's bad day then I can run with it as well.

Something like the same thing that happened to Yadier Molina I suppose. Ouch.

That, my friend, was brutal.....tore his fucking sack....can you imagine?

I bet whoever is in that mascot uniform is a drama/theatre major. He played it off perfectly.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Herky used to be a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, dating back at least to the Evashevski days.

Not sure how they determine it now, or if the Delts are even on campus anymore
