For a ball, this 70’s copy is like talking dirty: “32 panel, hand-stiched, all-leather…” Brilliant! I’m off to wash off.
In case there was any misunderstanding that we peddle only the most unoriginal of commentary, we humbly present this Dr. Pepper ad from a May 1, 1976 edition of Kick Magazine. (Thanks to GFOP Paul Sepp over at Dropping Timber for sharing)
“The most original soft drink ever teams up with the sport whose time has come. Dr. Pepper believes soccer has quite a future in America.”

Your iPhone Isn't a Footballer
- Footy: Siri, what is the Proper Scarf Promotion?
- Siri: I'm sorry. I won't have enough information until after April 1st.
- Footy: Why bloody not?
- Siri: There's no need to so belligerent.
- Footy: Absolutely mental.
- Siri: I resent that.
- Footy: I mean the football scarf fundraiser at CSUMB.
- Siri: Do you mean soccer?
- Footy: No, I certainly do not. And I believe you're pronouncing it as "sahcah."
- Siri: Please visit OtterAthletics.com for more information.
- Footy: Much obliged, you muppet.

It offends reason but we’ve learned that Dr. Ben Erlandson is moving on at the end of the Spring 2012 semester, and with him we will have lost a cracking supporter of proper football at the university.
Of particular note is his stellar collection of CSUMB Soccer photographs from the 2010-2011 season.
We will miss his quality work with an SLR digital camera in support of our Otters.
Cheers, mate!

Why The Long Post?
Why move to the Tumblr, you might ask?
Because sometimes a Ball has a tad bit more to say than 140 characters allow.
Just like Timber Joey needs more than just a 0-0 draw to express himself as a true lumberjack.
