Turner addresses the students in a letter

[RandytheHelpfulPineapple]

Typical form letter:

"FOOTBALL ALERT!!!!!!! FOOTBALL ALERT!!!!!!!

It’s time to release some academic stress. This is Turner Gill, Head Football Coach of your tradition rich university here at KU! I loved seeing and hearing your passion for Kansas athletics throughout this past spring.

On behalf of the football players and staff, we know you can be the biggest reason to establish a loud, continuous college atmosphere throughout the game in Memorial Stadium.

The 2010 football season is set to kick off this Saturday evening with your Jayhawks hosting North Dakota State at Kivisto Field in Memorial Stadium at 6:00 pm. Our season continues with six more home games featuring outstanding competition between Big 12 opponents and non-conference teams.

So come on students and jump on board for some exciting KU Football! WE WANT YOU! WE NEED YOU! Cheer loud, but do it with class. Please have respect for our opponents and their fans; as well as the fans around you and your team!

ROCK CHALK,

Turner Gill"

He forgot to add-- let's RTFHO!

Shit like this is so lame. Pleading with fans to cheer... That letter isn't going to convince someone to cheer.

Hula Hooper 1 - Hey dudes, sup for the weekend? / drags Parliament
Hula Hooper 2 - Probably jam the Beach House record and watch 90210 dvds
Fixed Gear Biker 1 - reading UDK - hey, maybe we should go to the football game and cheer. The coach asked us to.
Hacky Sack Guy 1 - YEAH! Great idea!! I didn't know we had a team, but now we should totally cheer loud and proud!
All - Can't wait for Saturday's game to cheer super loud!

That email can't be real.

Re: Turner addresses the students in a letter

....oh....is icing out now?

[blackPHOGmoan]

Re: Turner addresses the students in a letter

It may be so out, that it's back in, but only as an ironic gesture toward the past. It's now a move of nostalgia, like wearing aqua socks.

[Joe Norris]

Re: Turner addresses the students in a letter

when did aqua socks go out?!?!


but anyway, also, back to the topic at hand...at least it's a bit more believable coming from Turner than Mangino

Re: Turner addresses the students in a letter

Regardless, it's dumb and reeks of insecurity. Urban Meyer would never do something like this (maybe he did at Utah). I just hope our team isn't a bunch of pussies. I know it's coachspeak, but all the media reports sound like TG and Co. are coddling the players and being a buddy players coach.

I know it is different at practice, but I just hope we have a bit of toughness to our team and that comes from the top. I want to see TG get into someones ass (literally and figuratively) when they mess up.

I'm probably just being pessimistic and viewing everything as negative. Can't wait to be proved wrong.

Scene 3
inside Eaton Hall computer lab

Engineer 1 - This finite element analysis book appears to be bereft of proper physical scenarios. Who uses tensor notation anymore?

Engineer 2 - Well at least it isn't using Fortran in the examples. My control systems book wouldn't know a do-while loop if it hit it in the face.

Engineer 1 & 2 (in unison): Hehehehehehhe *snort* our jokes are funny to only us, because we are better than everyone else. /adjusts crotch

CLAS student librarian - What are you guys doing in here on a Saturday, don't you know there's a game this weekend?

Engineer 1: Week... end?

CLAS student librarian - Yeah, we have a new football coach-- he's trying to get everyone down to the stadium to cheer

Engineer 2: /grabs newspaper

Engineer 1: I can't believe you read the UDK. A good paper like the Economist would ...

Engineer 2: Wait a minute! I understand now. Life isn't meant to be spent crunching numbers, memorizing formulas and belittling others that lack analytical skills. A healthy balance of human interaction is required to better develop soft skills and live a long and fulfilled life. Don't you see!??! By engaging in these pseudo-tribal rituals, we too will become more engaged with those that we encounter in everyday life.

Indian grad student that never says anything - ...

Engineer 1: Then it is agreed. We shall go to the arena to cheer on the football squadron.

Unison (except the Indian grad student, whom never says anything): Thanks, Turner Gill!
