The Bet: Shane Carwin vs. Cage Potato

Shane Carwin twitter bet

As many of you know, UFC heavyweight title contender Shane Carwin was a two-sport standout at Western State College in Colorado, winning a Division II national championship in wrestling, and becoming a two-time All-American in football for the Mountaineers, while also earning a degree in Environmental Technology and becoming a two-time Academic All-American as well.  Big deal, right? 

What you may not have known is that Cage Potato co-editor Ben Fowlkes got his MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Montana, where he got, you know, mostly A’s, and was also captain of the writing program’s co-ed intramural softball team. 

So why do you care? Because this Saturday our two alma maters will face one another on the gridiron, and we decided to make a friendly wager on the game, via Twitter (Mayhem was right, it really does kick ass).  Here are the stakes:


If Montana wins, Carwin has agreed to do an exclusive interview with us, wherein we will probably gloat about our victory and ask him some questions sent in by you, our readers.  If Western wins, we have to do a post entitled “10 Ways Shane Carwin is Better Than Us.”  Since we’d be hard-pressed to think of ten ways that anybody is better than us, you see what’s at stake here.

Personally, I feel pretty good about our chances.  The Griz are a perennial Division I-AA powerhouse that went 14-2 last year before losing in the national championship game.  Western is coming off a season-opening loss to Fort Hays State (is that even a real school?), and they’ll be playing on the road in Missoula, where Montana hasn’t lost a regular season game since 2005. 

In other words, be on the lookout for that exclusive Shane Carwin interview some time soon.  Go Griz.

    Good luck Ben, my cousin Ty got recruited this summer to play for the University of Montana at linebacker, he was also the defensive MVP in the Montana Shriners game but I don't know if he is starting or not for the Griz.

    You're slippin' Curtis. Come on now. Check your lag time, because you're just not making it.

    so... do we post our questions here for Shane? I'll do it anyway. The one question that I wanna ask him is if he has NFL camp records of all of his stuff. I'd really love to put them side by side with Brock and see how they stack up all over the map instead of just the tale of the tape. Obviously, the question wouldn't just be if the exist; but, what the actual stats are. My bet is that they stack up pretty close. Win or lose, both will be good articles.

    Omg you talked to Shane Carwin? No Wai! :l
  11. Barc Says:

    Wed, 09/02/09 - 11:21


    P.S... You'd think with a degree in creative writing, you should know the difference between a posessive and a conjunction. Shit, I barely popped out with a diploma, and I think I get it right now and again. ...Just roughing you, Ben. I'm sure you're (notice what I did there?) a super-genious and you make mistakes like that every now and again just to see what it feels like to be wrong like we are.
  12. Aenarion Says:

    Wed, 09/02/09 - 11:30


    Barc... you're a fucking idiot. The mistakes in that twitter post were made by Carwin, not Ben. And you spelled genius wrong... even with the aid of an auto-correct feature. Please never speak about grammar again.
  13. Aenarion Says:

    Wed, 09/02/09 - 11:31


    And yes Bens, I will accept an outdated hall of fame shirt for defending your honor in such a D-bag fashion.

    Carwin's nickname is Darwin. Why? Because he helps natural selection out. So learn to love it Shane "Darwin" Carwin.

    Dear Shane, I would like to ask you an engineering question: How do we get another bridge to collapse in Minnesota with Brock Lesnar's transport short bus on it? Which is the most important load bearing structure to take out first? Please send a detailed diagram, or even make me some new blueprints. Thanks, Reddog

    Is it too late to change the states? Shane should wear CagePotato.com logo on his fightshorts. Or an outdated HOF shirt. Make it happen!

    Careful, just because you read a MMA site, it in no way makes you a MMA fighter. Besides, I am not laughing at you and your ass kissing ways, I am laughing with you. There's a diffrence. If you need me, I will be behind TJ Max.

    @831 son thats all you got? Come on, where's the wit? And, just so you know for next time, if you call some one gay, the fag parts a no-brainer. Thats like saying, 831 son- your a dicksucker.WOW. cocksucker. see what I mean?
  33. ON EDGE 24 7 Says:

    Wed, 09/02/09 - 02:17


    so whats the word? Is UFC signing a Deal with ESPN? Make sense, both monsters of the sport world.........
  34. 831 Son Says:

    Wed, 09/02/09 - 02:29


    google- if you go back and read your second post, you are clearly implying you are a homo. Im not trying to be funny in my post, just stating whats true. Obviously fag and gay mean the same thing, but I was blown away by how gay it was so I had to say it another way. Just make sure you proof read your comments before posting them to avoid humiliation of any kind.
  35. google Says:

    Wed, 09/02/09 - 02:54


    I feel no humiliation. That's the beauty of the internet. That and the free porn. But, to make a point to you, how do we know that on edge 24 7 is a guy? It could be a girl. The person never said if they where male or female, so maybe its a girl, so asking a girl for a blow job does not infact make me gay, but the exact reversal of gay.

    Aenarion... You got me; but, you were a complete bitch about it. Also, spelling and grammar are different. I'm wrong; but, I don't twitter and I don't recognize it's specific layout of topic and reply... so fuck you. J Akuma- Kindly tie your feet in a trash bag, head first. Ben- My shot at sarcastic humor was a total flop. I'm gonna go read a grammar book now to double check if, in fact, spelling and grammar are seperate subjects. I don't want another dude like Analrion up there having shit on me. My bad.
  40. Barc Says:

    Wed, 09/02/09 - 08:55


    831... please, son. That's a pretty shitty post you got there. You have pretty much nothing relevant to add to anything on CP. "I have daddy issues" is only a valid excuse for being a piece of shit for so long.

    I thought 831 Son was pretty funny. Barc, you fucked up, dog. You had a crack at Ben then disguised it as a playful joke and then FUCKED UP. I forgive you though, my young padowan.
  42. Barc Says:

    Yeah, I did. I tanked it on this one. CP-1 Barc-0. Fuck me.

    Griz Nation, I love it. Here's a chant I recall. Eat shit Bobcats, go Griz go! Of course Bobcats can be replaced by any team, like maybe Western. Vegas has a decent Griz bar called Torrey Pines Pub, they play every game and when the Cat/Griz games goes down it's packed with drunks...so yeah...good times. Peace Potato Nation!
