First-year students at Medical School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.

The professor started the class by telling them, "In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important qualities as a doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the human body."

For example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the corpse, withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth.

"Go ahead and do! the same thing," he told his students.

The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and told them, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention."

Well, Jeremiah likes the snow because it covers up his various Retsnom corpses that are the aftermath of our many Turok clashes.

Happy Birthday from the Rice's, too! We're sorry we won't be able to celebrate with you, but we'll be there in spirit!

I would just like to apologize, for myself and on behalf of Trevor (and other previous members of Team Fire) for the Royal TUROK SMACKDOWN! we laid on Team Stone (Larry and Jeremiah, for those who didn't know). It was brutal, soulless, out-and-out unfair to the collective ego of Team Stone. The brutality was deepened by the fact that it was in front of their wives. This game has signaled a new age in Team Turok. I would go as far as saying I wouldn't be surprised if they never picked up a Gamecube controller. But unfortunately, they are both stubborn and will subject themselves to repeated beatings.

Kinda like the whupping I threw on them after Trevor left. It's sad and unfortunate.

Thus is the nature of the Turok Beast.

I would like to take this moment to thank Steph for that testimony building experience. I was touched on many different levels. I have shared that with those I hold dear to my heart. Thanks again!

Someone sent me this in an email and it made me think of the precious moments I've spent with all of you!

Okay here's my post so I don't get in trouble. If anyone purchased prerecorded music (tape, cd, 8-track, etc...) between 1995 and 2000, go here and file a claim to get your cut of the class action settlement. You could get $5-$20 or free cd's.

So those were the post-game pictures. I have a few more to include. Just in case someone forgot how good that sushi looked, here's a couple reminders:









For everyone who left early, you missed the drunken debauchery that ensued when we popped open the bubbly (supplied by the gracious Jed and Maurissa Harston)



But this one is of course the most important:

I finally got around to getting the pictures off the digital camera. The ones of the TV didn't turn out how I had envisioned, but no worries. Here they are, in all their Fiesta Bowl Glory:

This first one was one of the many that didn't come out well, but this was right before the presentation of the trophy to the team.

Of course there always has to be the token first newspaper headline.

This one captures the essence of what Ivan Maisel meant when he said OSU had more tradition than Miami. Seven National Championships baby!

Tressel is the man! He has taken us to the promised land. This will be one of many journeys there.

"Maurice, Maurice, he's our man, if he can't do it, Krenzel or Wihelm or Doss or Groom or Ross or any other Buckeye can!"

I had to get one more picture of Maurice Clarett and another shot of ESPN proclaiming OSU the 2002 NCAA Champs.

Let's just hope this look doesn't show up in the game!
