Iowa Bacon Bowl and Tailgate

There was a fog machine under an inflatable Iowa Barnstormers helmet helping to cover up the hazy circumstances of Monday’s press conference at Wells Fargo Arena. 

From the promise of an “historic announcement” for the Arena Football League franchise, the unmistakable scent of fried pork emerged.

In a show similar to swine on skateboards, the Barnstormers announced the first annual Iowa Bacon Bowl in cooperation with the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, to be played on July 20 against the Utah Blaze. 

The Iowa Bacon Bowl tailgate will take place in the north parking lot outside of the Community Choice Convention Center at 3:00pm before the Barnstormers take on the Utah Blaze in Wells Fargo Arena and costs $25.

Meat Turtle with Bacon Armor

What do we have here?  The meat turtle with bacon armor!

Start by forming a patty out of hamburger, or better yet, Johnsonville brat burger patties.  Cut hotdogs in half, and putting three slices in each end for the feet.  Bring the tail to a point.

Now get out your bacon and make a bacon weave, and wrap the patty and hotdogs with it to provide the armor.

Toss on a grill or in the oven.

The 20 Types of Depressed Sports Fans

Sean McIndoe writes about the 20 types of depressed sports fans.  Of note are:

9. The Pessimist

This fan spends almost the entire game predicting that something terrible is about to happen. Long before it becomes clear that the game is going south, this fan will annoy everyone by coming up with increasingly negative scenarios that he insists are about to unfold. Eventually, his lamentations become a source of constant background noise, like a dripping faucet.

This will last until, inevitably, one of the other fans will threaten this person with physical violence if he doesn't shut up immediately. It will probably be the “Punches the Wall” guy. Everyone else will nod silently. 

2. The Single F-Bomb Fan

This fan is a traditionalist. He or she responds to every negative twist and turn with a single f-bomb, followed by a brooding silence. Simple. Timeless. Almost, dare we say, elegant.

This fan actually comes in two sub-varieties: The short f-bomb, or the drawn-out f-bomb. The former gets bonus points for volume, while the latter is aiming for endurance.

18. The Non-Reaction Fan

This fan barely acknowledges what’s just happened. In fact, you have to study him carefully to find any reaction at all. He might slump slightly, or offer a subtle head shake. There’s a slim chance that he might mumble something indecipherable under his breath.

But that’s it. Whatever chaos is unfolding around him, he won’t acknowledge it. If you didn’t know any better, you’d almost think he was at peace with what he'd just seen. There’s a sense of serenity to him, like a still pond on a windless morning.

Make no mistake: No fan is hurting worse than this one.
