Will we get an RGC fact book as well? Maybe a little more history on the nation?
The Road To Willa Cather Landing: GPUR General Election 2012
- Thread starter Chipperback
- Start date
"Watson loading up --- bombs away downfield for Ismail....CAUGHT IT!!!! 20 -- 15 -- 10....TOUCHDOWN SYRACUSE!!!! The Champions from the IRNA have blown this game open in the third quarter to lead 37-27...."
A crazy third quarter saw Syracuse bolt out to an 11 point lead. Only a late field goal avoided the 3rd quarter being a shutout for NDSU.
Amid the frenzy, the Confederate Foreign Executive was confused.
A Conversation with trusted ally within the Confederate Military had him in deep thought -- One word: CALVARY
Spencer Tillman noticed, too.
We head into the fourth quarter with the score Syracuse 38, North Dakota State 30
PISD headquarters -- Omaha, GPUR
"Stick raises up throwing....LONG PASS FOR Urzendowski!!!! GOT IT....He's gonna go! He's gonna go! TOUCHDOWN BISON! 65 yards and this kid has had a crazy second half!!!"
Cassie Stouffer-Thompson. PISD Capabilities Analyst. Wayzata, Minnesota GPUR.
"YES! YES! YES!" Cassie screamed as she saw the Bison receiver cross the goal line. The analyst was also a proud NDSU grad and her Bison weren't done yet.
As she watched the Bison attempt their two-point conversion to try to tie the game, her printer sprang into action.

Rose Bowl -- 4th quarter -- :27 left -- Syracuse leads 45-38
"Watson's third touchdown pass of the game put Syracuse up, but now NDSU is trying to work downfield 3rd down 11 at their own 45."
"4 Years ago, NDSU was in the same spot, needing a score....and getting one on a deep pass..."
"Stick getting the snap.....THROW DEEPS DOWN THE MIDDLE!!!! DIMITRI WILLIAMS IS THERE....TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!! OH, MAN! DEJA VU IN PASADENA!!!"
The Rose Bowl erupted in a loud roar. NDSU fans who thought this was the end were sparked. Syracuse faithful who could see the championship before them were nervous.
And in the skybox, diplomats put aside the concerns of the world for the moment. Only for the moment.
"I say have the winner play Alabama."
"I'm sure North Dakota State would want to play in it," Tillman said.
"You so sure of your Plainsians, huh?" Vice President Riley said.
on the field -- 1st overtime -- North Dakota State Huddle
Nicky DeLuca, the NDSU defensive captain look at his teammates. They had fought 60 minutes. Tired. Bruised. Excited still.
"Okay, we have to tackle, and we have to make the stop here. WE STOP THEM. WE SCORE WE WIN.....3-4 Cheyenne Tomcat Stinger....READY BREAK!!!"
" Watson with the quick pass to Cunningham for 10...1st and 10 at the 15...."
"The Orangemen looking to strike first here and force the Bison to counter..."
"Watson out of the shotgun....blitz inside.....he'll scramble....he's running at the 10...DELUCA BIG HIT!!! ...FUMBLE!!!!! The balls on the ground...picked up by Sanders....20....25...(LOOK OUT!!! HE'S FAST!) he's the fastest player on the field if he scores the Bison win the CCS Championship...a Rose Bowl Miracle for the North Dakota State Bison -- Touchdown NDSU...85 yards and a North American Championship!!!"
Spencer Tillman saw the winning play from field level. He was preparing to do his other duty. Handing the championship trophy. Again to a victorious North Dakota State head coach. Green and gold confetti mixed with cheers and hugs.
Hands lovingly holding the trophy. Fans happy...and sad at the result. Once again, it was the Bison's night.
The RGC Secretary of State and the Confederate Foreign Affairs Executive, also stayed.
For Steve Spurrier, this was another dreamscape. A sign of what could be.
"If the damn politicians would just get out of the way," he thought.
He looked at the RGC Secretary of State, talking to one of the game sponsors.
"The rumors say you may be the next California President," he thought. "You seems to be an even bigger hawk than Jerry Brown...or his daddy."
"Mr. Spurrier," Secretary Harris said.
"Yes ma'am."
"I take it you enjoyed the ballgame?"
"I would say so. I look forward to when a Confederate team gets this chance."
"Why does this matter so much?"
"Because it something I would have liked to have had the chance to do in college. To put myself up against the best..."
As the trophy celebration continued, Spurrier explained.
"I've been living on your side of the wall long enough to know my country is not perfect. But Ms. Harris, neither is yours. Neither is Spencer's. But must we go to war to learn that? You Californian threaten us with your Goldwater-Brown doctrine. We threaten you with nuclear arms."
"Your allies threatened our allies," she said.
"I promise you, I'll fix that," Spurrier said. "The Chinese are blowing smoke."
"Mr. Spurrier, I can't afford to take that chance."
"This world can't afford a war," the Confederate answer.
"Tell Newton Gingrich and David Duke that," she retorted.

Would you mind telling us what commercials they aired during the Super Bowl?
Black Goldwater -- Sunday January 28, 2018
The Presidio Mansion -- Sacramento, RGC 12:45pm Pacific Daylight Time Sunday January 28, 2018
"Blockade?!" President Jerry Brown said as he threw down his copy of the Sunday San Francisco Examiner. "General Maybank you are really for this policy?!"
"Mr. President, I didn't tell that reporter we were considering a blockade!" General Alvin Maybank answered back. "What I did list was the number of options we could use. The press did what they always do, they wrote their own story, and you the Examiner always writes their own damn story!"
"General, 'no comment' is not a bad thing."
"I didn't make a comment. I answered their question. But sir, behind these closed doors. Why not a blockade?"
"Why not a blockade?" Brown said tersely. "It's an act of war!"
"So is threatening the damn Olympics," the general shot back. "Mister President, the Japanese have a Chinese ship with nuclear cargo on board. We have probable cause in this one. Who knows what those merchant ships from the CSA have on them."
The General softened his tone, but not the message. "Sir, we need to know what's going into South Alaska. What are the intent of the Orlando Pact? We aren't upping the ante. They already have."
The General pointed to a map he brought with him. "Mister President, they have attack subs and a battle group posed just outside the line we've along the Aleutians. We haven't threatened commercial shipping..."
"And they haven't threatened ours, General."
"Not yet, Mr. President. But the have the tools to do it. And if they do we may be in a fire fight anyway."
"But sir, there is no harm in keeping both sides honest, and at least a selective random inspection can do that. And we don't have to be the initiator. The Aleutians can ask for it. They are aligned with Point Barrow. NIPKORCAL has given recognition. The provisional Aleutian can make that call, and UN mandate and international law are on their side."
"General, I'm trying to keep a lid on this. We have a lot of firepower out there."
General Maybank stayed firm. "No shit, Mr. President. I'd rather we not have that. I'd rather spend more time worrying about my oldest son and how ugly the Jumbos offense looked last week."
"General, I have a scared, nervous Korean president who think the Chinese are gonna do something rash.."
"All the more reason why we need to send a firm message, sir," Maybank said. "And that is what you brought me here to do. Random selected inspection of any vessel heading to Kodiak and the Alaska main southern ports. Not a full naval blockade. If we need a legal cover. Ritter can get us that. Get the IAEA involved. Remember sir, The Confederates are a partner in Cairns now. If they try and squawk we remind them of that."
"If there is one truth I know sir," Maybank said. "Nobody wants a protracted war in Alaska. From every political and economic standpoint, it's a lose-lose for everybody. That is the fact I play on and my staff plays on in every strategic decision we make."
"Alvin, I wish you could explain that to the Examiner, the L.A. Times, Motown and RCA."
"But you do that so much better than I do, Jerry. That's why the voters voted for you."
Jerry sighed. "This is the stuff I won't miss."
Alvin answered, "And this is why I think of all the angles, Mister President. My goal is to make sure we have a country for you retire to."

I've got to commend Jerry Brown for not playing the CSA's game and taking the bait.

Let's hope the next President is just as smart. Who are the candidates?
We interrupt trying to get caught up...
About that PyeongChang thing going on. This is your Catherverse Olympic Report, sponsored by Phillips 66. As long as the GPUR has had an Olympic Team, we've fueled the Plainsian Olympic dream. 
1. Scandinavians sweep the board on the first medal day -- The Scandinavian Union sweep the podium in the Women's 7.5. km sprint biathlon and in men's normal hill ski jumping to jump ahead of the medal table early, and they've held that lead through the first week
2. Fatima bin Laden strikes Gold! -- Four years ago at Santiago-Portillo the women's biathlon individual event featured a surprise in the Palestinian Union's Fatima bin Laden. The Palestinian Army major and the niece of well-known financier Osama bin Laden shocked everyone with a silver medal performance that pushed the legendary Olympic champion, Soviet Russia's Nadezhda Skardino to the brink. At Pyeonchang, bin Laden bested Skardino and won the gold, and has a chance at another in the relay events later this week
3. Quebec dances to gold -- Quebec won the first gold of the game as Max Parrot took the men's slopestyle snowboard event, clipping Rocky Mountain Republic high-schooler Red Gerard. And Les Quebecois added to the total with an upset win in the Ice Dancing Team Event over the heavily favored Soviet Russians
4. Netherlands Owns Speed Skating, Again -- Big Orange put up a streak of 9 straight gold medals in the speed skating in this game and look to be the runaway leader in total medal in the event. It too until; Sunday's win in the women's 500 meters by Japan's Nao Kodaira to break the string
5. Marcel Hirscher picks up where he left off in Santiago -- The South German star defending in Alpine Combined and Super G titles, while leading the South German Union to the lead in the overall Alpine Olympic standings with the Scandinavian Union trailing in second.
6. The Fighting Tomato picks up another one -- Most days, he's known as Greater California Air Force Captain Shaun White. Occupation: Combat Aircraft Pilot in charge of flying an F-15 StrikeEagle. That's when he's not flying a snowboard, and few in the world do it as well. White ripped another impressive routine to win his third straight medal in the men's halfpipe. Immediately after winning Olympic Gold. White was flying patrol over the Olympic venue as part of the multinational security detail put together amid Red Chinese threats against the Olympic Games
7. "Formula One Bobsledding" wins for Ontario -- Ontario's bobsled teams got a best boost in 2013 from one of the nation's greatest racer. Ron Fellows put some of his Formula 1 know-how into building a better sled. In 2014, the first Fellows sleds out Ontario on the podium. In 2018, it put their two-man team at the top of the podium on Monday night
8. SoftBank Sister goes hard in Short Track -- Kim Jo-yong is known in short track speed skating as one of the most hard-nosed competitors in the sport. Off the track she best known as the sister of KJSoftBank CEO and financial young tycoon Kim Jun-un. Saturday she pushed slid and powered to a gold in the women's 1,500m event, leading a Korean 1-2.
9. Women's Ice Hockey Semis go Double Overtime -- Both semifinal matches needed two sudden death period before somebody put a goal through to win it. New England shocked Ontario with a golden goal to win 3-2. The defending Olympic champions from the Great Plains United Republic shoved one through to beat hated rival Industrial Republic of North America 4-3.
10. The Olympic Truce is holding, at least for now -- IOC President Sebastian Coe has gotten his wish. Beijing has stood down and the Orlando Pact and NIPKORCAL navies staring each other down off the coast of Alaska have also eased back...at least for now.
Oh, yeah BREAKING NEWS from the UNAPFC Champions League Week 6 action:
Wichita Warriors 33, Houston Oilers 30 — It looked bad after three quarters in Houston and the Oilers led 27-9..
Peltier Stewart was knocked out of the game with hip injury. Reggie Irvin was knocked out with a rib injury in the third quarter. Robert Griffin III’s torn pectoral injury five weeks ago was still on the mend, with hopes he’d be ready for the Super Bowl, if the Warriors make it there.
That left second year QB Gordy Bohannon Jr., and emergency quarterback/wingback Darnell Robinson.
In 2016, Bohannon won the Kinnock Trophy as the GPCAA’s best player, at the University of Iowa.
In the fourth quarter vs. Houston, he sparked a 24-point uprising with three touchdown passes, two of them to J.R. Hill, who caught 10 passes for 201 yards, including a 44-yard grab which set up Brian Davis who won at the final gun with a 39 yard field goal.
Wichita’s 33-30 victory over Houston clinched the Blue Pool and put the Warriors in Super Bowl XLVI.
The status on Stewart and Irvin is that they will both sit out Week 7, and hopefully are ready to go for the Super Bowl.
But head coach Carl Banks will have quite the decision. Which of their quarterbacks will get the start in the Super Bowl?
Also in the news at this hour:
-- Scandinavian Election polls show the ruling ScandiaCoalition has surged into the lead in latest polls, spurred in part by 64% approval of Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen's decision to send 6,000 SKU military troops to Korea to bolster the Olympic Security Detail, included three Aerial Defense Squadrons
-- California's election roster is growing with the former announcement that former Seattle Mayor and current Pacific Democratic Socialist Assembly Representative Anthony Ray is in the race. Ray ran in 2014 and ended up third in the convention ballot.
The outspoken African-Californian pol joins a field that is shaping up to be a rerun of the 2014 campaign, joining Northern California RGA Governor Gavin Newsom, former Vice President Williams Walton III, Senator Edward James Olmos, who won the nomination in '14 and Newsom was his runningmate in what was a rather acrimonious pair, and Assemblyman Eric Reed Borcher, who is consider the leading candidate of the PDS's "hard" Marxist-Leninist wing of the party.
Among the ruling Greater California Democratic Party, the big rumor is still out there, will Kamala Harris, the RGC's Secretary of State throw her hat in the ring?
-- Among the RGC flagship conservative party, they've announced their first debate. Their opening debate is set for Monday March 5 at the Richard Milhous Nixon School of Government at Whittier University.

Catherverse-A-Thon -- Getting Caught Up
Author's Note: It's been a busy month in February in life outside of AH.com. Such is life when you are a freelancer. But I have a night off, so I'm taking a night to write, and write and write.
To my contributors especially: @BrianD, @Hörnla two of my longest running partners in crazy
To all the readers, fans, and authors who make this website a little slice of special...thank you!
Starting with the Catherverse-A-Thon with....How we got to Toronto. How that UNAPFC Champions League shook out
Week 3 -- Sunday January 21, 2018
Seattle Jumbos at Omaha Interstaters 3pm — Seattle 44, Omaha 10 — Seattle defense knocked out QB Alex Smith, intercepted backup Teofilo Ward 4 times while … Seattle is now atop the Red Pool by themselves
Havana Dolphins at Los Angeles Express 5pm — Havana 48, Los Angeles 13 FINAL — Eli Manning accounted for 5 Touchdowns.. 4 in the air and a scramble to complete the scoring late… The Express lost their second quarterback in two weeks with Carson Palmer ’s throwing shoulder sprained on a third quarter sack
Pittsburgh Steelers at Midland-Odessa Mojo 2pm — Midland-Odessa 41, Pittsburgh Steelers 34 A hot second half by Vince Young (he threw for 338 yards IN THE HALF! Threw for a touchdown and run for 2 others)

Midland-Odessa Mojo at Arizona Firebirds 1pm — Vince Young 386 total yards and was responsible for 5 touchdowns in a 46-26 rout of the Arizona Firebirds, but the Mojo would have to wait to see what the future holds.

Wichita Warriors (5-0) at Houston Oilers (3-2) 3pm — It looked bad after three quarters and the Oilers led 27-9..
Peltier Stewart was knocked out of the game with hip injury. Reggie Irvin was knocked out with a rib injury in the third quarter. Robert Griffin III’s shoulder injury five weeks ago was still on the mend, with hopes he’d be ready for the Super Bowl, if Wichita makes it there.
That left second year QB Gordy Bohannon Jr., emergency quarterback/running back Darnell Robinson, emergency quarterback/wide receiver/defensive back Gregg Gold.
In 2016, Bohannon won the Kinnock Trophy as the GPCAA’s best player, at the University of Iowa.
In the fourth quarter vs. Houston, he sparked a 24-point uprising with three touchdown passes, two of them to J.R. Hill, who caught 10 passes for 201 yards, including a 44-yard grab which set up Brian Davis who won at the final gun with a 39 yard field goal.
Wichita’s 33-30 victory over Houston clinched the Blue Pool and the place in Super Bowl XLVI
The status on Stewart and Irvin is that they will both sit out Week 7, and hopefully are ready to go for the Super Bowl.
But head coach Carl Banks will have quite the decision. Which of their quarterbacks will get the start in the Super Bowl?

When is the last time either of these teams made it to a Super Bowl?
The Midland-Odessa Mojo are making their first ever trip to the North American Championship Game, and team co-owners financiers George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden are realizing a dream they've had since they bought the team in 2014.
The Mojo are also the first 8th seed in pool play to reach the Super Bowl since the San Diego Chargers vaulted from the 8th seed to Super Bowl XXXVII, and they only the 5th team ever to go from 8th seed to Super Bowl participant. No 8th seed has ever won the Super Bowl.
The General Manager of the Mojo Jerry Rice, played in four Super Bowl, and is known for his last second 66-yard catch and run to win Super Bowl XXII for the Havana Dolphins over the Dallas Cowboys. A game in which he was also MVP.
The Wichita Warriors enter the game as defending Super Bowl Champions as they defeated the Havana Dolphins 34-29 in Super Bowl XLV last year in Havana. They cameback from a 13-point deficit to win a nail-biter on the games last play as Robert Griffin III threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Bryan Habana to bring the Warriors their first Super Bowl championship since 1982.
The Warriors also enter the game riding a 37-game win streak. They haven't lost a game since week 3 of the 2016 PFA season. A 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Olympic Stadium.

In 6 years leading the Mojo he had led them from the TFA Third Division to this Super Bowl. His son, Lynton is a third-year running back for the Mojo and he will get some carries Sunday
The Wichita Warriors are led by former Giant and Warrior linebacker Carl Banks, who also served as Defensive Coordinator under legendary coach Bill Parcells before taking the head coach job after Parcells retired after the 2014 season. This is Banks' third trip to the Champions League and second Super Bowl as coach.

Oh by the way, why is the Super Bowl being played in March?
You can thank the crazy weather back in September for that. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Jennicet scrubbed the entire opening week schedules for the Texas Football Association and the Latin American Football League. So every UNAPFC league decided to postpone the start of the season to aid the TFA and LAFL teams affected to reschedule games. The first four weeks of the season saw a lot of doubleheader games for Texan, and Caribbean based teams to play.
The UNAPFC member teams voted unanimously to not move up the Super Bowl and eliminate the traditional two-week period between the end of the UNAPFC Champions League pool play and the Super Bowl.

Midland-Odessa Mojo at Arizona Firebirds 1pm — Vince Young 386 total yards and was responsible for 5 touchdowns in a 46-26 rout of the Arizona Firebirds, but the Mojo would have to wait to see what the future holds.
Havana Dolphins at Seattle Jumbos 1pm -- Havana's defense did their part to get into the Super Bowl, taking down the Jumbos 44-24, and with it drowning their Super Hopes if the Express win and force a three-way tie, Havana would get into the Super Bowl on point differential

Wichita Warriors (5-0) at Houston Oilers (3-2) 3pm — It looked bad after three quarters and the Oilers led 27-9..
Peltier Stewart was knocked out of the game with hip injury. Reggie Irvin was knocked out with a rib injury in the third quarter. Robert Griffin III’s shoulder injury five weeks ago was still on the mend, with hopes he’d be ready for the Super Bowl, if Wichita makes it there.
That left second year QB Gordy Bohannon Jr., emergency quarterback/running back Darnell Robinson, emergency quarterback/wide receiver/defensive back Gregg Gold.
In 2016, Bohannon won the Kinnock Trophy as the GPCAA’s best player, at the University of Iowa.
In the fourth quarter vs. Houston, he sparked a 24-point uprising with three touchdown passes, two of them to J.R. Hill, who caught 10 passes for 201 yards, including a 44-yard grab which set up Brian Davis who won at the final gun with a 39 yard field goal.
Wichita’s 33-30 victory over Houston clinched the Blue Pool and the place in Super Bowl XLVI
The status on Stewart and Irvin is that they will both sit out Week 7, and hopefully are ready to go for the Super Bowl.
But head coach Carl Banks will have quite the decision. Which of their quarterbacks will get the start in the Super Bowl?

The performance will mark the first time that a sitting or former head of state performed in a Super Bowl halftime show.
When is the last time either of these teams made it to a Super Bowl?
The Midland-Odessa Mojo are making their first ever trip to the North American Championship Game, and team co-owners financiers George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden are realizing a dream they've had since they bought the team in 2014.
The Mojo are also the first 8th seed in pool play to reach the Super Bowl since the San Diego Chargers vaulted from the 8th seed to Super Bowl XXXVII, and they only the 5th team ever to go from 8th seed to Super Bowl participant. No 8th seed has ever won the Super Bowl.
The General Manager of the Mojo Jerry Rice, played in four Super Bowl, and is known for his last second 66-yard catch and run to win Super Bowl XXII for the Havana Dolphins over the Dallas Cowboys. A game in which he was also MVP.
The Wichita Warriors enter the game as defending Super Bowl Champions as they defeated the Havana Dolphins 34-29 in Super Bowl XLV last year in Havana. They cameback from a 13-point deficit to win a nail-biter on the games last play as Robert Griffin III threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Bryan Habana to bring the Warriors their first Super Bowl championship since 1982.
The Warriors also enter the game riding a 37-game win streak. They haven't lost a game since week 3 of the 2016 PFA season. A 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Olympic Stadium.
How many people in the seats tonight? Magna/TorontArm Centre seats 86,000 and every seat is spoken for. Scalpers are asking roughly 4000 GBP for the seats if you haven't got one.
Who are the head coaches? The Midland-Odessa Mojo are led by former Mojo, and Oiler running back Charles "Boobie" Miles. In 6 years leading the Mojo he had led them from the TFA Third Division to this Super Bowl. His son, Lynton is a third-year running back for the Mojo and he will get some carries Sunday
The Wichita Warriors are led by former Giant and Warrior linebacker Carl Banks, who also served as Defensive Coordinator under legendary coach Bill Parcells before taking the head coach job after Parcells retired after the 2014 season. This is Banks' third trip to the Champions League and second Super Bowl as coach.
Where is Next Year's Super Bowl? -- The sites for the next three Super Bowls 48, 49 and the game's 50th anniversary edition have been determined the site for Super Bowl 51 will be announced during commissioner DeMaurice Smith's "State of the UNAPFC" address on Friday March 2.

50 (L) --- February 21, 2021 at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles Express Stadium Los Angeles, RGC stadium currently under construction, set to open for 2018-2019 season
Oh by the way, why is the Super Bowl being played in March?
You can thank the crazy weather back in September for that. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Jennicet scrubbed the entire opening week schedules for the Texas Football Association and the Latin American Football League. So every UNAPFC league decided to postpone the start of the season to aid the TFA and LAFL teams affected to reschedule games. The first four weeks of the season saw a lot of doubleheader games for Texan, and Caribbean based teams to play.
The UNAPFC member teams voted unanimously to not move up the Super Bowl and eliminate the traditional two-week period between the end of the UNAPFC Champions League pool play and the Super Bowl.

@Chipperback Will Devin Nunes be running for President in the RGC? On behalf of the CSS?
Devin Nunes runs a Komatsu farm implements dealership in Tulare, RGC. The most he'll ever run for is the mosquito abatement board.
The whole concept of “The South” has no meaning here given the what has happened in North America over the last 80 years
