Eating the Enemy: Minnesota And Open Thread

by yellow fever on Sep 17, 2009 3:00 PM PDT in California Golden Bears Football

GOPHER STEW

6 lbs. gopher meat (a gopher is a land turtle)
1/4 lb. salt pork, cubed
3 Spanish onions, diced
5 stalks celery, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
3 (16 oz.) cans sliced tomatoes
10 c. water
2 datil peppers, whole
Salt and pepper to taste
3 potatoes, cubes
5 tbsp. brown flour
1/2 c. water

Clean gopher meat well and drain. Fry down salt pork in a large cast iron pot. Add meat and brown. Remove meat, drain on paper towels. Add onions, celery and bell pepper to salt pork grease and saute until tender. Add tomatoes and a little water if needed and cook down to a pulp on low heat for about 2 hours. Add gopher meat, 10 cups water and datil peppers and salt and pepper to taste. Cook about 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Add potatoes the last 30 minutes of cooking. Mix brown flour with water in a glass jar and shake vigorously. Bring stew to a boil and thicken with flour mixture. Serve over UNCLE BEN'S® rice.

That actually sounds tasty. Now if only there were some place to obtain gopher meat without having to run over it in the middle of the road by accident. Feel free to use this as the open thread for tonight's GT/Miami game. It is currently set for 4:30 PST on ESPN. Go Triple Option!

yeah, on the game tonight...

Not sure exactly how many people realize that Jonathan Dwyer is dark horse to upset Best in the Heisman race. He needs to make up ground with a few long runs tonight or that aspect of the story may be over soon.

pumped to watch this one as the mystery of the triple option could unfurl Miami’s new found focus on the prospect of ACC relevance.

I never knew Paul Johnson was white until just now. Not to sound racist, but I’d always kinda assumed he was black. Not sure why.

If Jonothan Dwyer even gets invited to NY I will be shocked.

Course, I almost feel that way about Jahvid, for what it’s worth.

Never trust a team that loses 3 defensive linemen to graduation.

Also: if Jacory Harris can somehow manage to win out the first third of the season (which is really not at all beyond the realm of possibility), he should be considered for the Heisman.

(Then again I also think that Michael Floyd should be considered for the Heisman so I’m an outlier in that respect.)

Gotta give the defense a chance to recover? One of Cal’s opponents got dinged on it this year, maybe UCLA.

Fourth quarter to go, Miami’s probably going to run over GTech for the duration. I think I might get some decent value out of Graig Cooper. Not as much as I hoped, but I definitely upgraded on Roddy Jones.

Back to the game:

Dear Georgia Tech,

Maybe next year.

PS, sorry you’re going to have to listen to commentators talking about how everyone’s figured out your scheme when it’s really mostly a matter of your players getting beaten up and demoralized early and often.

Sincerely,
Some Dude

Miami at Virginia Tech in a battle for ACC supremacy next week. If Miami wins they’ll have gone 3-0 against probably the 3 best teams they’ll play in conference this year. Hell of a way to start.
