Coach Giacoletti...just wow. What an impressive debut season so far.

I would love nothing more than to see Drake reel off a 15-3 record with a couple losses to you know who. This team reminds me a little of that '08 Drake squad that came outta nowhere and killed everyone.

I realize that is quite the longshot. Nonetheless, I am very happy for Bulldog fans. Looks like you have a keeper.

What was the leader's name? Adam somebody. The Shocks had no answer for him.

Adam Emmenecker. We tried the Man vs. Food Challenge named after him at Jethro's BBQ in Des Moines recently- that was a very unpleasant next morning.

I do not recommend making a serious run at it.

I know a couple people who have taken it down. Not within the time limit but that's just insane. Eating that whole thing on your own, even if you needed a couple hours to do so, is an impressive feat. And unwise and unhealthy one, but impressive.

That is quite a feat. Like you said, I really do not see how a human can do it within fifteen minutes (I think that was the time allowed IIRC).

The food there was pretty good though. I would definitely return for a normal meal.

To be fair, the Shocks didn't have much of an answer for anyone that year.

That place was featured on a Food Network show just a couple of days ago. Two guys in Hawkeye shirts tried it with Adam watching and they didn't get very close in the allotted time.

That episode is from 08 or 09 I believe...shortly after Drake's run...

I guess we found out the answers to those questions?
