Found a new model for my knit wear.

I honestly don’t think people dress up the John Sargent Pillsbury monument on campus nearly enough. I liked the neon green shades they put on him for the last homecoming, but I always look at him and say to myself “he could use a hat”. Somebody make this happen.

I couldn't agree more! I've only seen J.S. with a road cone hat (ala the Glasgow's Duke of Wellington) a couple of times. The one above was Dec. 18, 2008. Now would be a great time to start such a tradition, considering the number of available road cones around campus...

Headline of the day. Everything in the world happened at once in St. Cloud.

Also, I haven't linked to a story by The Hardest Working Man in Twin Cities Media in awhile.

Which one would you read?

Same story, three headlines. It's a click-generator any way you write it, but the Strib drives it home, and I have to believe theirs has drawn the most traffic:

Minnesota Daily: Goldy goes down after weekend fan assault

Pioneer Press: Fan cited for punching Minnesota mascot Goldy Gopher

Star Tribune: Rodent Rage: Fan Punches Goldy Gopher
