A Quick Disclaimer for Those who Doubt My Loyalty

Erhem...

(Play this as you read it, it adds to the effect)


We here at the Wide World of Idaho State, from our correspondants such as the Duke of Wellington to Otto von Bismarck and Ron Burgundy, all emphasize blatant nationalism and flag waving when it comes to college sports. However, we also stress the need to laugh at ourselves every now and then (because if you cannot laugh at yourself, you are not trying). It has come to my attention this past weekend that certain high ranking individuals do not appreciate my, quote, "negative" humor and demanded to know if I am on the ship or not.

Answering said question, yes. Those of us here, including Admiral von Tirpitz and Admiral Jellicoe, along with Isoroku Yamashita, are on board, guns at the ready, actively looking for enemy Grizzly ships and Wildcat cruisers, with the occasional Bobcat drunken rowboat raider. However, just because we're diehard nationalists and devotees to the cause, does not mean we will not pick out the feebles and foibles of ISU. As a matter of fact, we insist on it. We do that to one, lighten up about things and keep a proud head strongly rooted in reality; and two, to bring attention to problems that must be fixed. Why? Because that's how we roll here at the Wide World of Idaho State.
