Good Question

Galen wonders:

Lift for Life teams announced

Don't forget you can help by donating to support your favorite player. BSD man crush Graham Zug has only raised $625 dollars! Where is the loyal BSD nation?!? You call yourselves football fans; you're going to let down your intergalactic leader.

Graham Zug is now sitting at $655, well behind current leader Brett Brackett ($3,335).  But there's a certain other BSD favorite who needs our help...

Star-divide

Zero dollars!  I know the guy isn't participating HAHA I LIED STUPID, but this aggression will not stand. Do you want to be the guy who tells SOA that he raised $0.00?

You will make him very sad.  Or very angry.  I can't ever tell.

Oh crap, he is!

I went down the team list pretty fast, didn’t recall seeing his name, and convinced myself that he wasn’t participating when I saw he had $0.

Now there’s really no excuse not to pitch in.

Zug got my donation

He’s approaching $1000 now. C’mon BSD Nation.

I’m surprised his goal was only $300. Rather modest. I guess he figured saving the world from intergalactic terrorists was probably enough for one day.

Zug has no use for paper money!

I’d be surprised if he really understands the concept of paper money—It’s gotta be a pretty abstract concept when asskicking is your currency.

You think

Zug has coinage with his face minted onto it? Like that asshole from 300 who carried around Xerxes money, I would constantly carry around Zug money in case the Apocolypse hit. Zug and I would run shit thereafter.

SOA is the best because it would show how much money we could raise in three days.

FEAR NOT MY BSD BRETHREN

it has come to my attention that GMZ (GRAND MASTER ZUG) is actually a double entry in the lift for life…so as not to embarrass his fellow athletes GMZ has entered the contest under the pseudonym
 
Penn State Uplifting Athletes

Using this clever guise GMZ is able to raise more money than all others combined while still remaining humble as himself…

and yeah we shall perceive his greatness and be forever humble by just how great his greatness was

Either way, I put our overall donation somewhere in the $600 range, and you are all very good people. Except SweepTheLeg, who is a douche.

Just imagine

Last night SOA goes to bed stressing over how he’s going to raise this $500 he set as a goal for himself. He’s probably scared sh*tless that Joe and JT are going to make him run a lap for every dollar short he fell of his goal, and then another 100 laps for pulling in the goose egg.

Then he wakes up this morning and the money is flooding in from people he doesn’t know. He’s got to be saying, “WTF?”

and the funniest part

is nearly all of this is because he was tired after a practice, and didn’t smile in a few pictures (though there is a hint of a grin in his “JFK to PSU” picture). What really sealed the deal for me was his smile with Adam.
