Jackie Rexrode Says ...

"O.K., guys, it's 'stache season! Mom says it's O.K. for me to grow one, even though I won't be able to hang out with you in Vegas. So I got a head start just to show everyone how completely rad you'll all look once you embrace the Majesty of the Mustache! You know your facial hair schedule better than anyone (I, apparently, have a pretty quick turnaround), so start growing early enough to be completely bodacious for early March! Craig and Mike have already started their 'staches, and Brunt has had the goods for a few years now. Everyone else needs to start sprouting!

"So get growing, and Go State!"

The Majesty of the Mustache

This one is a Halloween fake. Imagaine how amazing Solari will look with a real one.

Let's Make the Vegas Trip Extra-Special

We all know the Vegas trip is going to be special. Old friends will meet up after years apart in a stellar city to drink and watch tournament basketball. It can't get much better than that.

Or can it?

"How?" you ask. "Craig, how could the Vegas trip be improved? What innovation could put this one over the top?"

I have have one word for you, people: Mustaches.

That's right. I propose every male attending the Vegas trip arrive with a mustache. You can shave it after the first day; all I want is a photo featuring all of us wearing 'staches. Can you imagine having an 8-by-10 of Hudson, Woodhams, Solari, Muir, Cook, Schmidt, J.M. Stump, Ryan Ward, Brunt, Robinson, Bajaj, me, Steve Davis, Saginaw Scottie Baird, and whoever the heck I'm forgetting -- with mustaches?

Can you imagine? Try. Bet you can't.

"But, Craig," you say. "I have a job. A respectable place in society. I can't walk around my everyday life with a mustache."

Easy. Just hide it in plain sight. Grow a full beard or goatee, and then shave it into a 'stache at the last minute.

So let the debate begin. I don't have the proper access to this blog to post a poll, so we'll have to wait for Mike on that. Until then, post away, and happy growing, boys.
