JJ McCarthy was "like Ooze the Magnificent" in Harbaugh presser
So I was watching the Harbaugh presser and he was talking about a play where a blitz got home and JJ was able to get out of it. I thought I heard him say JJ "Looked like Ooze the Magnificent" on that play.
I looked at the transcript and it would appear that's exactly what he said. Not often you get a nickname like that out in the world. Maybe the best UM one since Sauce Castillo.
I feel like JJ needs an Ooze the Magnificent t-shirt but I don't know Photoshop...feel free to showcase your Ooze the Magnificent ideas here.

Maybe he had Oz the Mentalist on his mind.
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
Probably. But I like this variation.
October 23rd, 2023 at 1:39 AM ^
You mean this guy? Screw Stalions, let's hire this guy.
Great watch...enjoy.
October 23rd, 2023 at 5:37 AM ^
Wow. That was FUN.
October 23rd, 2023 at 8:37 AM ^
right? the players' reactions - particularly the "nope. i'm outta here" faces - are a delight.
October 23rd, 2023 at 9:25 AM ^
OK, but the jersey numbers/go blue has to be a plant, right? WTF.
October 23rd, 2023 at 9:29 AM ^
Thank you for that Glory. That was fun to watch.
October 23rd, 2023 at 9:38 AM ^
He's not just "this guy". He's actually a U of M grad and a fairly accomplished ultramarathoner.
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
No idea what he's talking about. Hopefully not Oz the Great and Powerful, 'cause he a fraud deceiving with smoke and mirrors.
Maybe The Magnificent Seven. Those seven TDs last night were pretty magnificent!

"Pay no attention to the grad assistant stealing signs behind the curtain!"
October 23rd, 2023 at 5:47 AM ^
But remember, Oz came through for the Lion, Scarecrow, and Tin Man.
ALSO, "Oz" has morphed in cultural understanding to two meanings, a smoke&mirrors guy and to indicate someone who IS magnificent.
[Human societies do that all the time. The "lion's share" can mean getting a lot of of something (in a neutral sense, most of something in a negative sense (greedy), and ALL of something (the powerful take everything)]
October 23rd, 2023 at 2:31 PM ^
Oz never did give nothin' to the Tin Man that he didn't already have.
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:18 PM ^
No comment. In Opponent Watch withdrawal.
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:26 PM ^
TY. I thought I missed an announcement.
October 23rd, 2023 at 7:24 AM ^
I’m not the only one it seems. The write up for the MSU Rutgers game would have been glorious.
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:27 PM ^
My mind immediately goes to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. No clue if there's a correlation, but what if...
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:47 PM ^
Turtle Power and Pizza, cowabunga
October 22nd, 2023 at 11:59 PM ^
As a yungin, I identified as Michaelangelo. As I got older, I'm a Rafael!
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
Harbaugh meant to say 'Oz the Mentalist' but apparently forgot the guy's stage name.
October 23rd, 2023 at 10:50 AM ^
Yeah man, I know. But c'mon. This is literally how memes are made and y'all are being sticks in the mud by grounding it in reality haha
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:57 PM ^
I’m going to assume it’s Ozzy/ Black Sabbath and JJ is Iron Man and Michigan is the Hand Of Doom and with the sign stealing BS, the rest of the B1G is Paranoid.
October 22nd, 2023 at 11:40 PM ^
That just sounds like a coded signal to the vast network.
October 23rd, 2023 at 12:39 AM ^
Not all of us have the ham radio set up in the basement yet.
October 23rd, 2023 at 11:05 AM ^
haha. This is good.
October 22nd, 2023 at 11:42 PM ^
Wasn't the an alias for the villain in the first Power Rangers movie?
October 23rd, 2023 at 6:20 AM ^
I am. But didn't he disguise himself as a clown and call himself Ooze the Magnificent?
October 23rd, 2023 at 1:15 AM ^
Hopefully he woke up on time for the Brady Bunch Reunion this time.
October 23rd, 2023 at 12:35 AM ^
Did he mean to say Suleiman the Magnificent? If so, that’s already a super weird (but cool) comparison to make
October 23rd, 2023 at 1:23 AM ^
The "do you think you got him?" at the end is awesome.
October 23rd, 2023 at 8:56 AM ^
That game had so many emotions wrapped into it and this is a pretty great depiction of what went on in my head. My 13 year old son was even more motivated because I was content with them kneeling it at the end, and he was yelling "score, score." As I have read multiple times since the end of the game, Sparty should have been careful what they have wished for because this game and score will go down in the record books as one of, if not, the most lopsided victories by either team in this rivalry. Go Blue!
October 23rd, 2023 at 9:14 AM ^
I could have lived with a few more TDs
October 23rd, 2023 at 10:37 AM ^
Did he call JJ an amoeba? In a complimentary way, of course...
October 23rd, 2023 at 12:45 PM ^
I love that Harbaugh comes close but rarely hits the nail on the head with people's names 😂
October 23rd, 2023 at 10:05 PM ^
Their styles are remarkably similar. Makes you wonder how much that’s Jim helping. Those plays are mostly natural ability and teamwork with WRs. They are on the most elite level I’ve ever seen with that style of passing. They’re like 90%+ on 3rd down. Wtf is happening? My god
October 24th, 2023 at 7:52 AM ^
Also, Ooze is a terrible nickname. Sounds like a private in the Army that got a venereal disease. I’d go with Scooter or almost literally anything else before Ooze.
