VC is officially bound for St. Thomas...LEGGO!

After suffering a horrific injury in Irondale's first football game of the 2010 season that left him with a fractured fibula and shattered tibia, Vince Calistro's promising football career went into question. But Vinny put on his serious face, fought like a champ, and came back stronger (holla at Drew Brees & Rob Reetz!) than ever--in time to lead the Knights basketball squad to one of their best seasons in recent memory. After the basketball season concluded, the world was glued to their computer chairs constantly refreshing Vince's Twitter page, anxiously awaiting a college announcement until finally on Monday...

JUMP FOR JOY! As it turns out, Vince wasn't in doubt and therefore won't be playing for Stout (or Winona State). Despite the tweet receiving mixed reviews--heckles from @bobbollweg and @Redaar9, but praise from @Zak_Double_UK and @RARuff59--the big fella is officially a Tommie!

But exactly why is Vinny sharing a seat on the Tommie Train with Fridgemala? Well I'll fill you in, cause that's what I do best ;) I recently got a chance to catch up with Vinner and asked him why he chose UST. He said, "I really couldn't pick between Stout, Winona St., and St. Thomas because they all gave me more free gear than Urban Outfitters has Rob Krummel t-shirts. So it pretty much came down to one thing:

"The Choji Zone."

It's a place so legendary and so mythical, some question its very existence. Tall tales are passed down from generation to generation, but few who have entered the Choji Zone ever live to tell the tale. It makes The Hangover look like an episode of That's So Raven. It makes Hatchett's infamous Rounds look about as dangerous as a fiesta in Senor Colemon's class. The person who can describe it most accurately is Chinni himself: "Choji Zone= My Life, Your Entertainment"

Vince explained to me that he initially thought the Choji Zone was a Lego dreamland because of the catchphrase "Leggo!' that often signals that the Choji Zone is in session, but that issue was cleared up later. Now, Vinny is excited see what all the hype is about. "It's definitely going to be a test. I've heard that Coach Caruso works the football boys hard, but it's nothing compared to the challenge of the Choji Zone. When I visited St. Thomas, I saw multiple people passed out with "C.Z." tattooed on their buttcheeks. It's hard core, man. I'm a little scared, but I'm ready."

We know if anybody can take the Choji Zone in stride, it's VC. We can't wait to see how the Big Fella does in the Zone and on the field! Congrats and good luck, Vince :D There's only one thing left to say...

LEGGOOOOO!!!

Air Bud to Join Irondale's Ultimate Frisbee Team

Irondale Ultimate Frisbee's captain Marcus Carrigan was really getting down this Friday after he announced that the Golden Receiver, Air Bud, was joining the Knights Frisbee Club. Air Bud, of course, has chosen to wear the number K9 this year, and his jersey will be unveiled at a Press Conference on Monday.

For those of you unfamiliar with Air Bud let's just say that he is most athletic pooch in history and many of successes have been chronicled on video from "Air Bud: 7th Inning Fetch" to "Air Bud: Golden Receiver". Air Bud has decided to move from the Timberwolves to the Knights becasue of the risk of being abducted by Snively, his former abusive owner. Snively successfully kidnapped Air Bud from his owner in the original Air Bud causing him to be late to the championship game, and almost costing the T-Wolves the game. However, being in New Brighton Air Bud is free from Snively. Through a dog whisperer Air Bud released the following statement, " I'm glad to be suiting up for the KFC and eating all of the chicken that comes with it." Air Bud, was confused by the acronym and this issue was cleared up later. When asked how we was going to throw the frisbee he described that it will be very similar to how we swung the baseball bat in 7th Inning fetch.
