No one should be. We played the best team in the country and it showed how much is left to do.

to a bunch of local coaches. Do you think they don't know that we did miles better than MSU? What is lower than sh*t? This is just a clever bit of salesmanship/sh*t by Brady that slyly lets area coaches know the big dogs are back where they belong. . . or heading there a lot faster than the Spartans. May give a nice little goose to 2014 recruiting.

Well into his second decade of being a Sparty slappy and trying to stir up shit.
January 18th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
Was this the same [annual] seminar where Dantonio got into it with Jeff Hecklinski last year?
That one was January 20, 2012:
January 18th, 2013 at 10:51 PM ^
"Heil Hitler!"
January 19th, 2013 at 9:31 AM ^
"Our stock will go high!"
January 18th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 3:20 PM ^
I'm pretty sure this was on purpose.
January 18th, 2013 at 3:21 PM ^
This is at the annual MHSFCA coaches clinic in Kalamazoo. It is generally all high school coaches from across the state. Language like this is the norm, as I have sat through many of these clinics over the years. It is nothing, compared to some of the classroom type discussions that go on over the few days up there. Colorful language beware!! Very good time up there though, always look forward to this clinic.

football coaches use salty language?
January 18th, 2013 at 3:24 PM ^
When boats used to transport manure, there was often serious risk of the manure getting wet when stored below deck, which would produce methane gas and cause an explosion if a spark occurred. So the ships started marking the containers SHIT for:
Store
High
In
Transit
So in reality, Brady's language wasn't really all that bad, now was it?
January 18th, 2013 at 3:28 PM ^

teaching this handy acronym to my manure barge crew Monday.
"Remember men: when in doubt, SHIT."
January 18th, 2013 at 3:30 PM ^
The word is likely derived from Old English, having the nouns scite (dung, attested only in place names) and scitte (diarrhoea), and the verb scītan (to defecate, attested only in bescītan, to cover with excrement); eventually it morphed into Middle English schītte (excrement), schyt (diarrhoea) and shiten (to defecate), and it is virtually certain that it was used in some form by preliterate Germanic tribes at the time of the Roman Empire. The word may be further traced to Proto-Germanic *skit-, and ultimately to Proto-Indo-European *skheid- "cut, separate", the same root believed to have become the word shed. The word has several cognates in modern Germanic languages, such as German Scheiße, Dutch schijt, Swedish skit, Icelandic skítur, Norwegian skitt etc. Ancient Greek had 'skor' (gen. 'skatos' hence 'scato-'), from Proto-Indo-European *sker-, which is likely unrelated.
Either that, or you're full of shit.

a clever ruse if I've ever seen one - well played MMB 82, well played!
January 18th, 2013 at 3:39 PM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 5:36 PM ^
The other explanation is as real as Manti Teo's girlfriend. But you probably like her too
January 18th, 2013 at 6:01 PM ^
but since the subject was brought up, I was curious.....
January 18th, 2013 at 4:31 PM ^
Which website did you pull this from?
January 18th, 2013 at 4:52 PM ^
Which is also the first place I went to check on that highly doubious acronym claim. Some things are just too cool to be true.
January 18th, 2013 at 4:57 PM ^
I didn't doubt its validity, more just the way it was stated. He states it like he just pulled it out of his memory, when its clear he copy and pasted it from someone else.
January 18th, 2013 at 6:03 PM ^
for your firm grasp of the obvious.
January 19th, 2013 at 9:42 AM ^
Yeah, right. You expect us to believe it's a Germanic word and not an acronym? I suppose you're going to tell us next that Thomas Crapper didn't invent the flush toilet.
January 18th, 2013 at 3:31 PM ^
I would have expected this from Gary Busey...
January 18th, 2013 at 3:31 PM ^
I hope you're joking. Otherwise, I have the entomology of the word "Bridge" that I'd like to sell you.
January 18th, 2013 at 3:34 PM ^
so I feel pretty good about it!
(ok, I know it's not true - it was derived from the Dutch word schijt)
January 18th, 2013 at 3:36 PM ^
entomology? like bugs and shit?
January 18th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
shit! A typo in a language-related thread. I will upvote you because I cannot downvote myself.
January 18th, 2013 at 4:13 PM ^
I see what you did there.
January 18th, 2013 at 8:34 PM ^
Unless the bridge has bugs, in which case I am most certainly not interested.

pkatz=Gary Busey?
January 18th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
I am me, and he is he...
BTW, that's a nice point total you have there, Eric - did you remember to bring your sun protection with you to Bolivian?
January 18th, 2013 at 5:56 PM ^
Tell me about it. I don't post that often, usually just to snark away. I was cunt-kicked last week for adding to the Alex Anzalone/Analzone convo. Harmless, I thought. Oh wells...
January 18th, 2013 at 3:57 PM ^
I'll test it out tonight with the ladies.
January 18th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
for the lesson, Sheldon
January 18th, 2013 at 4:44 PM ^
Not to be pedantic, but the correct acronym for SHIT is SHIP High In Transit. But still...

repetitive, yes

You are repeating an erroneous belief. http://www.etymonline.com/baloney.php
Google is a powerful tool. Use it, my friend.
January 18th, 2013 at 6:21 PM ^
High in Transit? Sounds like Brady is complaining about pad level again.
January 18th, 2013 at 3:27 PM ^
I think your comment is full of shit.
January 18th, 2013 at 3:32 PM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 3:49 PM ^
That Michael Rosenberg posted here.
Must be a glutten for punishment.
January 18th, 2013 at 3:53 PM ^
I knew my glutten free diet would pay off some day.
