NFL talent is by definition better than CFB talent, but on every other conceivable measure college football beats the hell out of the NFL.
When I moved to Chicago people asked me if I was a Bears or Packers fan, and my response was "I don't give a shit, I only follow college FB."
When they asked me why, I told them I didn't have to take an entrance exam to live in Chicago

I mean, the marching bands, the rah-rah student sections, the weird rivalry trophies, the wacky mascots, just inject it straight in my veins
1937-39 "coffin nose" Cord 812 convertible, looks like some previous owner got frustrated with the hideaway headlight and replaced them
1966 Pontiac Ventura 4 dr hardtop with the 8-lug aluminum wheel option, plus a couple of hairhoppin' 60s moms rocking their beehives
1930 or 31 Ford Model A coupe (all A coupes are 5 window), and by the looks of the 16" Ford steels I think General Yeager may have mildly hot rodded it. Behind it is a '32 Ford roadster.
fun fact: taking words out of the dictionary does not make them disappear
at the risk of RTing myself,
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree there 
Congrats to my pal Ben D for completing the 2019 Cannonball Run (NYC to LA) in 37 hours 39 minutes, in his 6 banger '56 Chevy. He was driving my '56 Chevy 'Fat Elvis' when we were rear-ended in Memphis, knocking us out of the 2016 Cannonball Run
and believe me, averaging 76 mph, including stops, from NYC to Redondo Beach CA with a 1956 Chevy Stovebolt 6 is pretty damned respectable
That time would have been good for 3rd place in the first Cannonball Run (1971) and 2nd place in 1975
Pretty amazing: 1935 modernist restaurant/ dance hall/ gas station in PA, designed & built by the builder of FL Wright's Fallingwater, now restored as a private home and for sale at $800k

I guess, but if I had to choose between this and a 600 sq ft studio apartment in San Francisco, I know what I'm choosing
I suppose you could call this a shitty location, but de gustibus non est disputandum, as the Latins say
At long last, can we finally enact my proposal to ban all New Yorkers from holding a federal office
maybe I'm biased, but I think we'd be better off being governed by some boring Midwest accountants than a bunch of corrupt blowhard coastal divas
His campaign hit the cement like a helpless groundhog
somewhere in Iowa City, a freshly unemployed schlemazel now has "Iowa Coordinator, Bill de Blasio 2020 Presidential Campaign" stuck on his resume forever
I'm getting this tattooed on my ass
It hasn't shattered my image of him as the perfect media-coddled hereditary dimwit
How much is he asking per photo shoot, and do we have to supply the shoe polish?
Prime Minister Zoolander, so hot right now
My big takeaway from the Justin Trudeau controversy: if you're the leader of a Western democracy who has starred in 50 or 60 minstrel shows, it's probably best to get that out before the media twists it all out of proportion
I have attended approximately 1700 costumed college beer bash bacchanals in my life, all in the pre-woke Stone Ages, and never once did I, or anyone I have ever seen, decide it was cool and/or funny to do Amos & Andy shtick
but if photos of my college costume party choices emerge and offend any ancient Romans, I truly apologize
A heartwarming tale of Iowa State U cheap beer thirst resulting in >$100k donations for the rival U of Iowa Children's Hospital. Well done, @CarsonKing2, you are a great Cyclone, a great Iowan, a great American, and a great beer drinker.

@CarsonKing2 btw this is the same Children's Hospital that overlooks Iowa's Kinnick Stadium, which turns to wave at the kid patients after the 1st quarter at every game. #GoCyclones #GoHawkeyes #FTK
@CarsonKing2 Correction: the beer plea has now resulted in >$200k for the Children's Hospital. Behold the power of beer-drinking Iowans.
This just in: showing a actual picture of a Canadian Prime Minister wearing blackface is worse than a Canadian Prime Minister who actually wears blackface
yup, account still there

@ComfortablySmug was in clear violation of Twitter's Thou Shall Not Embarrass Prime Minister Dreamy rule
Oh great, and *poof* there goes my access to cheap upholstery, chrome and lacquer paint
Not to mention Mexico has always been go-to escape plan for when the shit really hits the fan
Screw Canada, too cold and boring. I wanna be drinking tequila in a cantina surrounded by dancing senoritas, not shoveling snow with a bunch of polite hosers
Say what you want about Trump University, but it only conned its students out of $1500 and probably provided free snacks
some people think we are in a decline, but I'm telling you we are currently in a fucking Camelot for con artists
I only wish I could stay sober long enough to follow through on my plan to bilk every last one of you beautiful, gullible idiots out of your last nickel
Absolutely no one, anywhere, in human history:

Be right back, writing my new blockbuster disaster movie Splooging Inferno
I knew Australia had 1000 ways to kill you, but this one was news to me
Look, I'm a big fan of the Hawkeyes & Ferentz, but his patented offensive game plan of "we will send you a prior engraved announcement of every play we run and see if you can stop it" is not exactly coaching genius
Saturday night I was showing off to my wife my uncanny ability to predict every play the Hawkeyes ran until she told me to STFU
to be fair, my wife tells me to STFU over a lot of other stuff too
I predicted the Dumb & Dumber look would eventual catch on
scoff all you want, but how many of you predicted in 1994 that Bearded Thick-Rims Nerd in Pee Wee Herman Suit would be the GQ high fashion of the future
the best part of this is the Chanel sign
A whole swarm of Blower Bentleys (well, 4.5 liter Bentleys, some blown and some unblown). Bentley just announced they will be producing some brand new "continuation" 1929 Blower Bentleys. #DavesCarIDService
This is pretty damn cool. Jaguar's Classic Works has also built continuation D-Types, E-Types, and XKSS. I wish US laws would allow American car companies to build new versions of their classics.

What is the one single brand new perfect factory reproduction American classic you'd want to have? (Me, a 1932 Ford Model 18 roadster or 3-window coupe)
1959 Plymouth Fury sedan, Toots. A close relative to Christine! #davesCarIDservice
Circa 1966 Austin Healey Mk 3, and that isn't a pickup in the background, it's a 1963 Dodge Polara
1934 Dodge Deluxe 2 door sedan
An El Assico for the ages. Condolences ISU fans, I'm pulling for the Clones to win out the rest of the season
A six-hour biblical epic filled with lightning, hail, deluges, and a tidal wave of Busch Light
PUNTING. IS. WINNING.
L-R: 1960 Pontiac, 1959 Buick in front of a 1960 Mercury, 1957 Oldsmobile, 1960 Pontiac Tempest #DavesCarIDService
1947-52 Crosley sedan
1973-79 Brubaker Box, funky kit car for VW chassis. My buddy Dave Shuten has one
How much more Iowan can you talk than the Paulsen Twins? The answer is none, none more Iowan
Like all Iowans, I was raised to believe Iowans have no accent. After a few years away I eventually realized... wow.
btw, they are fantastic kids from near my old hood. Both already graduated, and got their Thor locks buzzed to raise $15k for UI Children's Hospital; their hair was used to make wigs for pediatric cancer patients. #GoHawkeyes
I'm stocking up on Kool Aid for my bong
Try all of the retro Funny Face bong water flavors from DaveCo
Joking aside, I want to ask my younger readers to please stay away from flavored vapes. You should only smoke or vape products with rich authentic tobacco flavor.
