Sideshow Bob, meet Eraserhead

[MennoSota]

Has anyone else noticed the Gopher athletes have an eerie resemblance to either Sideshow Bob or Eraserhead?

We may have the shaggiest team in the nation. [emoji41]

" I mean, listen: We talking about hair. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We talking about hair. Not a game. Not the game that they go out there and die for and play every game like it's their last. Not the game. We talking about hair, man."

This has to be the all time hair team for Minnesota. I've never seen so much hair (although I wasn't watching in the hey day of the 70's). Certainly the most hair in the past 35 years...

Good call! But after all, we also have the shaggiest POTUS in history.

Look around and you'll realize that this is kind of dumb, white question. If you look around at young black men, you'll see our team's hair is stylin'. Saw several kids in the crowd with a similar look. Looks like fun to me to break away from trying to have white hair or no hair.

Number 3 for the razorbacks was sporting a 'back to the future' cut a la Michael J Fox. Not stylin' at all.

This reference dates me, but Akeem's top tail made me think of the whiffle bird from Popeye.

I think it's fun to have the big ten all hair team. McBrayer must feel left out.

Or perhaps, Sokka, from the Last Airbender. [emoji41]

I've watched Popeye but not air bender. Age gap I guess.

First time I saw Akeem's hair, I felt like chanting, "Hare hare, Krishna Krishna." [emoji41]

I saw Eraserhead in college back in the 80's. Weirdest/disturbing movie I've ever seen.

Pretty racist all around. Cool.

I think we need to re-visit the definition of this word. Too often it is watered down which helps destroy the true meaning. From Webster's Dictionary:

Definition of racism
1
: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2
a : a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles
b : a political or social system founded on racism

Thanks for being the voice of reason.

I really need to finally watch Eraserhead.

sorry, saying someone looks like Sideshow Bob isn't racist.

FWIW, Bauer looked like Hank from Me, Myself and Irene when he had the crew cut
