Jumping the gun a bit... but we're beginning the coverage now...
Call us a retired player in the booth, 'cause we's got some...
KEYS TO THE GAME: Show of supporters
As we have talked about here before... and if you haven't seen this on Facebook. Team TEB is setting up an open house pre rally for all of their supporters.
But a late breaking email from Team BVP... seems to show a more stealth plan of the same idea to piggy back off of the Tea Party Convention over at the Building (Iowa Event Center) around 1sh.
Is this gonna be a clash of show of support? Is there a sign war tomorrow? (probably not, we wrote those rules 7 years ago... they ain't got nothing on that). Hard to say... but we know both camps are pushing reduced price tickets. Meaning... pack the joint with loyal supporters... hoopla... signs... hoots... hollers.... some praise Jebuses... and loud roars. Look for that spin later in the evening... See also the JJ Dinner for you people reading in Story City. Anyhoop... Team TEB has a rally... not Team BVP are organizing... did Team BVP show their cards to early? Does this raise expectations? What are the other guys doing? Separation Saturday indeed QCI-ders... or... we're just straight up full of it... well... who knows... we've been here before... this all smells very familiar....
It's been a fun week QCI-ders, but the real fun ends with Separation Saturday. We have some schedule changes happening that were late breaking at the HQ. We'll explain here in a sec.
Anyways were getting a little excited to bring the madness to you. We hope you dig what we have instore for the next 36 hours or so. "Is it Epic G$?" Oh... you guys are picking up on the lingo! #goodjoboutofyou... NOICE!
GAMEDAY POST III - POSTPONED- Yeah yeah... we know... just like when you're anxiously waiting to get the new hip cell phone... waiting for an upcoming album but the front man goes into rehab... or waiting for that one buddy before you hit the bars because he takes more time getting ready than most women... there's a little delay. Why you ask? Well... our writing team here at QCI HQ had a switch in direction early evening at our regular meeting. The thought was... we have some good stuff for the weekend... it will be live... why try to blow the whole thing at once? Plus... the team got working on other stuff immediately after our live stuff took shape... we'll explain in a bit. But anyway... delay it is.. don't worry... It will be worth the wait.
Oh yeah... per request from loyal QCI-ders... we busted out the ole LIVE banner for tomorrow. So, get this... QCI will be there to have you covered on everything... I mean stuff you didn't even want to know... yups. We're that awesome. So... to help you out... we wanted to map a few things out for you for tomorrow... this will enhance your Fantasy Football for Dorks experience.

But our fun project of the night is...
QCI'S CHEESE BALL QUESTION BUCKET - "What the hell are you talking about G$?" Our writers came up with this yesterday. While the other blogs will get our inner Joker going by saying, "Why so serious?" We of course want to have a little fun... but give peeps a good take on what's happening... so we came up with "QCI'S CHEESE BALL QUESTION BUCKET". Basically... its a bucket with tons of questions that we might have asked during our 7.2 Question Interview days... harmless, fun and inightful questions.
"How does this work?" Glad you asked. Basically... our writers have came up with hundreds of questions. Candidates, electeds and everyone in between can draw 3... pick the one they want to answer... then... well...answer the question, and we post. Pretty simple.
"What are the questions?" Random... random but safe (no worries there)... subjects? Wide spread... from pop, to issues, to the Hawks/Clones... to what are you listening to... stuff we cover here... Basicallly if you are a human... you'll be fine.
So yeah... that's it... plus we'll give you the play by play and stuff we're hearing through out the night. Until then.... stay tuned here... and as always... stay thirsty friends... oh and crank this tune... the official tune for QCI HQ on Blogger Row...

Fantasy Football for dorks. It's gonna be awesome!!!!
It’s back… the Smack Down! Since the beginning of blogs in Iowa… Many long time readers have likened their posts and comments to takes similar to the Jim Rome Show. (I know, weird phenom) So here at QCI… we don’t question tradition… we just roll with it. For you new readers… check yesterday’s post, this link from last year and a little tutorial if you still don’t get it…
RULES: There are 3…
1) Have a take and don’t suck
2) Don’t have diarrhea of the blog. You know what I am talking about
3) Have fun… (Junior High humor encouraged… and usually rewarded)
Extra bonus points… for having the stones to put your name with your smack. I will be keeping score. But if you can’t… I understand. Points for Junior High humor that’s kept out of the locker room. (who are we kidding tho)… Oh and don’t forget… humoring G$ gets you points and probably gets you racked…
THIS YEAR’S TOPICS:
1) 2010 Race for Governor Smack - Who are you for? Who do you like? You got predictions? Do it. Behn, Rants, Branstad, Roberts, BVP, Fong, McKinley, Oh My!
2) 2012 Caucus Smack - Too early to talk Presidentials? Not in Iowa.
3) Local Yocal Smack - We just got done with the Civics… State House, State Senate… Statewides... Epic.
Winners will get props and prizes... more on that later... There you have it QCI-ders… WAR a good and fun discussion... and WAR some serious and good smack. I'll start...
QCI-ders... Happy Election Day to you. Whoah... We get a little nervous about election days... considering we had a car stolen from QCI HQ a year ago... good times... no, not really.

2009 QCI SMACK DOWN PREVIEW/REVIEW
QCI-ders... It's BAAAA-AAAACK!!!! The Smack Down... If you're having trouble following tomorrow's post... here's a tutorial here... and last years event. Its epic... here's some winning takes that got racked last year... We hope they comeback for year two...
Beast of Burden said... Hmm the real question before us right now before is the race for chairman. Two requirements no crazies (that means no tin foil hats and talk about Obama's birth certifcate) and people who can reach across the entire state. To the central commitee in regards to the crazies in the party, take the advice I gave a buddy about a crazy girlfirend "Son, you need to lock that shit down pronto." War the Barnstormers. G$ rack me!
Rack him, again. BTW... Beast of Burden references will get you racked everytime.
The Otter said... Hi, this Tim Matheson, star of movies and television. I am here to offer some advice to the Central Committee of the Iowa GOP. You need a leader who can deliver a speech like I did in Animal House, here it is for inspiration. " The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests; we did. But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few sick, perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg! Isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you bad-mouth the United States of America! Gentlemen!" I'm out! War John Belushi, Fletch, the West Wing, Jack Daniels, the TKE house at Drake, and soriority girls! Rack me! G$
Love it... Rack him again... Also... random movie bits... perfect for the Smack Down...
Gordon Lightfoot said... Hey, it's me Gordon Lightfoot checking in from Canada, the place where bacon is really ham and we put maple syrup in our coffee. I wanted to make a suggestion for the Iowa Republican Party, I am willing to offer the state party, the use of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald as the new theme song for the party, royalty free. That about sums the situation in the your state's party, eh? I'm out. War Captain Kirk, Neil Young, and that skinny broad who sang the song in Titanic. And of course beavers. Rack me G$
That's a great song. Oh and don't forget junior high humor... Epic. Rack him again.
And the HUHUHU HUGE TAKE from the 2008 QCI SMACK DOWN... drum roll...
BB said... The professional errrr perpetual errrr gubernatorial candidate BVP makes a great sacrificial lamb but in no way is a serious contender to beat Culver and if you think so that is the definition of insanity. Its like watching the Chiefs.... or any of those ass clowns in that haphazard excuse for a division. You might be interested to see how good they can do but realize if you even make mention of them winning the Super Bowl you are going to get laughed at (and not be taken seriously). Why can’t anyone get this guy to run for state house/senate/any other local office because I would like to see him do something constructive other than campaign.
The Chairman would be the best place to start the re-tooling of the 72 hour... errrr 72 day... errrr 7.2 month program. Couple that with a great gubernatorial candidate who is well funded and poses a serious threat to Governor Dauber and the Repubs are back in business. There is no better place to look than those responsible for making tailgating in the spring/summer possible again GO STORMERS!!!
And as for this presidential crap... we are in Iowa so I guess the perpetual campaign marches onward (and I'm not talkin BVP this time) look for sleeper My man Mitch and DOOOOOO NOOOOOOT FOOOOORGEEEEET NEWTEEEEE! Rack ME G I'm OOOOOUUUUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
Jaw still dropped... Political smack, Chiefs smack and 7.2 reference!?!?! DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!! HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU HUGE!!!!
Tomorrow is going to be epic... Stay thirsty friends.... This is G$... and... GOOD NIGHT NOW!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, November 2, 2009
Governor Branstad 2010 Committee Names Tim Albrecht as Director of Communications
(URBANDALE, Iowa) – The Governor Branstad 2010 Committee today named Iowa Republican strategist Tim Albrecht as its Communications Director. Albrecht will handle media relations, new media and the online efforts of the campaign. He officially begins today.
“We are excited to have Tim join this campaign,” said Branstad committee leader Jeff Boeyink. “His extraordinary experience in both traditional and new media will be beneficial as we move forward in our efforts. His addition shows growing momentum as Governor Branstad explores a possible gubernatorial bid.”
Albrecht previously served on the campaigns of presidential candidate Steve Forbes and gubernatorial candidate Steve Sukup. He served four years as Communications Director for House Speaker Christopher Rants, R-Sioux City. He then served as the Iowa Press Secretary for Gov. Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, and currently is Communications Director for the American Future Fund – a nationwide conservative grassroots advocacy group based in Iowa.
“Governor Branstad is tested, proven and ready to lead this state in a positive direction,” said Albrecht. “Iowans in every corner of the state are concerned about mounting job and economic losses, as well as the bleak outlook of this state’s finances. It is time for us to have a strong leader in the governor’s office who will focus on moving Iowa forward.”
Albrecht served clients through his full-service communications firm, Albrecht Public Relations, and ran the popular conservative-leaning news aggregator http://www.TheBeanWalker.com, which Albrecht says will continue under a new publisher to maintain the integrity and independence of the site throughout the primary and general elections.
