MPLS Reporter on Kinnick: "Impressive place"

[OnceAhawk]

Fun article from the Star Tribune.

Here are some bits and pieces:

Minnesota's Boddy Calhoun: "That is the game I look forward to most every year because the fans said some not nice things to me when I was a sophomore. That was the year I wasn't playing but they made fun of me."

What did the fans say?

"They kept calling me 'Booty Call' on the sideline. Put Booty in the game! I was so frustrated and I held on to that for 2 years."

Gotta say.... I am a booty man.

You'd think that growing up with that name he'd have a little thicker skin.

Good article except for the fact that the student section couldn't be further away from the visiting team's bench.

Really? Booty hurts your feelings that bad? I spent a career in law enforcement and that one wouldn't even register.

I realize he's a college kid but come on.

I don't know if it's better or worse that the people saying stuff to him, were adults, not students haha.

Booty Call has a sandy crack

In fairness, the article mentioned he was smiling as he recalled the fans yelling, "Put Booty in the game!" It's pretty damn funny, really. To me, that's what a college rivalry is all about -- trying to get under the skin of the other team (and fans).

I wonder what Michigan's tight end, Jake Butt, had to endure growing up?

Mike Hall on BTN said something kinda funny when talking about Jake Butt caught a pass. " Butt was wiiiide open!"

 

[Suterman]

Booty got called back to Minneapolis.

Probably not as much as our 4th? string tight end.
