Iowa game

[Buglem]

Was exchanging ideas on Twitter earlier about goggles for the red zone for the Iowa game. Said I'd be willing to help with some funding. I find the idea of the red zone decked out in safety goggles hysterical. Anyone else interested?

The bad thing is, the majority of the fans would have no clue why they are being worn.  I believe signage would be better...aka Larry and Moe.   But that would likely be lost on a majority of the fans as well.

Really? I would think if you were paying attention at all you would have heard about this.

Biggest issue I can think of is that you will probably not find 1500 pairs of safety goggles for sale in the Lincoln/Omaha area...

[49r]

But, I obviously think it's a great idea!  

 

I also think someone needs to make that Adam Woodbury poked you gif into a fathead.  That would probably really help drive the goggles point home.

Is there some way we can insult Aaron White as well. It'll be the last time his goofy a** is in Lincoln.

Between White and Gesell, they have got to be the most ginger team in the country.

The UNL Chemistry department should have a slug of safety glasses

United Rentals?  

 

Try as I might to keep abreast from afar (well outside B1G's footprint) I too was clueless (my normal state), or forgot!  But, after reading a couple of comments (say, 49r's) I get the gist.   I'd hazard a guess that word would soon permeate PBA for anyone who didn't know the significance.  (I don't think it would take that many wearing goggles to make the point.)

I am currently gauging the interest level of this via the RZ.

But you pay attention to other college games Dimes.  I truly believe that the vast majority of our fans do not have a clue that this dude has a recent history of poking eyes.  In fact, I just walked across the hall and asked another Husker BB fan and he had no clue that Woodbury has this history.  And he does pay attention to college basketball, but not this site.  Just saying...

I think this would totally get under Fran's fragile skin. Let us know the interest level.

This is a go.

If you're going to donate for the cause of student eye safety, please do the following by Thursday night if possible.

 

- Go to the front page. On the right hand side is a "Donate" button. Click this and send an amount. If this doesn't work, PM me.

- Send me a check/money. If you're going to do this, PM me.

 

I will purchase on Friday/Saturday and deliver before Sunday.

If someone has a viable lead on purchasing large quantities of eyewear before Saturday, please PM me as well. I think safety glasses might be cheaper put we'll see.

I likey!!   Harbor Freight on cornhusker has safety glasses for less than $2.

Question, would I be able to get my hands on a pair of those drunk goggles they use for the drinking and driving thing they do every year? Or do I have to "acquire" drunk goggles the old fashion way?

[Red Rum]

We should probably get this out there somehow. I believe this is his most recent 3 Stooges impersonation

Donation sent.  Thanks for setting this up, dimes!

One point:  It's not so important that the fans understand the meaning behind it.  Adam will understand the meaning behind it and so will everyone else on the Iowa team.

 

One more point:  I get partial credit for the idea.  I was the one who first suggested that the team take to the floor at the beginning of the Iowa game with goggles on.

 

SO SCORE ONE FOR NORM!!! 

 

 

 

 

(Ouch, kinda hurt my shoulder patting myself on the back, there.  Need some icey-hot.)

You can order those via the internet. I'd suggest you go with your gut and make yourself an Old Fashion.

Yup. Woodbury is face guarding guys with his comically short arms. 

Is he purposely poking guys in the eyes? Probably not. Is he putting his fingers into the face areas of opposing players and acting like it's not his fault guys' faces run into his fingers?  Yeah.

Thanks. I will evaluate the quality of their glasses and go from there. It very well might be that less goggles are more visually effective than more safety glasses.

I'll drink to that.

Geesh Norm when I saw that you'd typed ouch, I figured you'd poked yourself in the eye reaching around to pat your back.

COME ON EVERYBODY DONATE!!!
