A Perfect Storm of Hilarity

+

=

The following things really did happen at the Nov. 17 Minnesota vs. Wisconsin football game at the Metrodome.

• Drunk mid-50s Wisconsin woman in Badger windbreaker drunk in stairwell. Lost motor functions. Falling asleep in stairwell. Lied down. Still kept drinking her beer.
• Wisconsin male fan projectile vomited in concourse trying to make it to the bathroom.
• Press box PA guy mocked twice by two 10-year old boys including once with soft serve ice cream.
• Media member (from badgerblitz.com) escorted out of press box after he appeared stoned or drunk. Got into brief altercation with Minneapolis Spokesman-Recorder reporter Charles Hallman. Sat in wrong seat twice. Slept entire second quarter until U of M Athletic Communications staffer had to awake him. When he woke up, he had a puddle of drool on his face.
• Other random drunk Wisconsin fans. Random Iowa State girl that wanted the Cyclone score.
• Gopher Director of Football Operations Randy Taylor firing up crowd all game, waving towel.
• Gopher strength coach Mark Hill getting in the face of official.
• Gopher Recruiting Coordinator Berezowitz running 60 yards after side judge not to mention running on field on numerous occasions and using his signature fake flag throw maneuver. Stat crew staffer yelling, "There Goes Berezowitz !"
• Overcelebration on Gopher sidelines on numerous occasions.
• Stat crew staffer naming random woman "Jizz Hair."
• The season's final appearance of Teddy K.
• U of M athletics money going to waste once again as Minnesota's Special Forces mat (think Twister or Jump to Conclusion) goes unused.
• Someone leaving piles of propaganda in the press box, encouraging media members to vote for Patrick Reusse as the Turkey of the Year. Language looks suspiciously like that of the speech Roy Griak gave earlier that week.
• Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema sprinting across the field at the end of the game to shake hands (albeit for a nanosecond) with Minnesota coach Tim Brewster.
• Brewster's lengthy, daggger-throwing stare in Bielema's direction as the Badger boss sprinted away.

To listen to KFAN's Dan Barreiro opine on the drunken buffoonery that took place in and around the press box, go here and listen to the Nov. 18 Sunday Sermon (his take on the events of the day is near the end of the piece).

And now, for no good reason but for the fact that we love seeing and reading about Bucky getting his ass kicked, we bring you this and this:
