Unverified Voracity Is Over It- &#$*#$!

Programming note: the first-string laptop is currently undergoing repairs, so content might be a little limited over the next couple days. There is a timeshare going on with the second-string laptop.

Sigh. Most of the pain caused by the Horror has been dulled by the passage of time. You could even make a case that since it precipitated a chain of events that saw Rich Rodriguez hired as head coach, the damn thing was actually a net benefit. But the wound is still raw enough for this to sting:

(Big here if you want to see the thing in all its damnable glory.) At least it's not on the top of the ring, I guess. Also, #$&*.

Convenient. Just as the more excitable variety of Ohio State fan was ready to bring forth the proclamations of a Great Fall for Michigan's ethics under Rich Rodriguez, who held a gun to Kevin Grady's head as Grady feebly protested his 35th jagerbomb of the night, comes another disciplinary incident for wayward son Eugene Clifford:

According to police, Clifford hit two Holy Grail employees who were trying to break up a fight early Friday at the Corryville tavern.

He's got two misdemeanor assault charges pending and has in all likelihood seen his last day at Ohio State. (Clifford has a number of other disciplinary incidents on his record.) Glass houses and all that.

But... right. I linked this on the sidebar earlier, but it deserves some additional discussion: holy crap, Grady was loaded. Wikipedia says the .281 he blew was somewhere between "confusion" and "stupor" and just a few beers away from "coma"; this is not a garden variety DUI. Drew Sharp, of course, says "off with his head" so he can later write a column about lawlessness when Rodriguez shows a shred of common sense and doesn't boot a guy with no previous incidents of misbehavior aside from minor traffic violations. Mmmm: cheap hits.

What to do? A .281 is beyond the point at which you can reasonably claim a lack of judgment... or it's beyond the point where you can reasonably claim anything but a lack of judgment since, you know, all he could do when presented with the charges was drool. There has been plenty of internet speculation about a drinking problem since .281 is the kind of BAC that knocks out mortal livers, though wags have pointed out that if Grady was binging like this on a regular basis and getting through Barwis workouts he's some sort of superhero, probably Duffman. In any case, Grady should be put on notice and forced to Barwis his way back onto the team a la Adrian Arrington; I'd be disappointed to see him before the Big Ten schedule.

(Side note: yes, Grady drives a 2007 Denali. Yes, his father is loaded. He got in trouble with the MSHAA for offering free housing to high school athletes so they could transfer to East Grand Rapids; he can afford a nice car for his kid.)

Gratuitous-tube. 1991 MSU-Michigan from WolverineHistorian:

EEEEE. Speaking of Barwis:

Taylor has made a number of adjustments in the off-season, including his training. He claimed he returned from the Capital One Bowl in January weighing 327 pounds. Now, thanks to Michigan's intense workout regime, he's below 304 and plans to be at 295 by Aug. 4 when twice-a-day practices begin.

The last time he recalls weighing 295? Sometime early in his days at Muskegon.

Asked if he'll be "cut," Taylor relented.

"I'm going to be lean," he said, laughing, knowing what his 6-foot frame can handle. "I know doing that, being more flexible, doing the things they want and improving in the areas I can improve in, all working together, it's a blessing I stayed here and we got (strength coach) Mike Barwis."

Taylor was heavily rumoured to be a reluctant participant in the new conditioning regime, spending most of the spring behind John Ferrara. If this fluffy nougat piece is an accurate representation of the current situation, that would be a major boost. There's a diary with some Barwis links for your edification.

Jerseybits. The big reveal of the home jerseys drifted through the internet a few days ago, but I misinterpreted the results. Readers point out that what Phil Callihan and myself thought were block Ms on the sleeves are numbers. The angle of the shot was deceptive; MPride08 provides another angle:

This is a replica, FWIW. There has been some worry that the names have been taken off the jerseys because none of the example shots have nameplates, but since these are for sale they can't have player names on them.

Your war what? Braylon:

The 25-year-old Browns receiver's ensemble was carefully designed, he says, to show he's professional and fun. Even his fragrance, Bond No. 9, serves a higher purpose. "It's my war cologne," he says. "It's a strong, masculine scent. I wear it when I'm trying to show confidence or be dominant."

Do what you will with this information. I plan on sitting in a chair with my mouth agape for 23 minutes and 16 seconds.

Etc.: Free Press article interviews Tony Dews, clarifies that James Rogers is indeed a wide receiver.

Successor
there's NO question that if Carr had even a "very good" year, say 11-3 0r 10-3 with no Horror, he would've absolutely been able to pick his successor, like Bo did. But the season was such a train wreck that the alumni base demanded a housecleaning.

Did the Horror really
Did the Horror really "precipitate a chain of events that saw Rich Rodriguez hired as head coach"? I thought it was an open secret before last season that Lloyd would call it a career at the end of the year. Or is the suggestion that without that game, Mike DeBord or another assistant would have gotten the job instead of an outside hire? I guess we'll never know.

GSims, I wish we'd beat OSU
GSims, I wish we'd beat OSU last year for no other reason than I'd send you a complimentary "Ohio State: Easier to beat than Appalachian State" tee-shirt. Well, that and I could've sold thousands of those, instead of the handful of Michigan State, Florida and ND ones I've sold. Caup, Alanis Morrisette calls bullshit on your definition of irony. Oh, wait... BS, Dude you're on a roll today. Dare I say your increased anger actually makes you sound rational? As for the rings, let them have their fun. If we didn't want them not to gloat about it should've beat them. Period. Instead we shit the bed. Kudos to them for beating us.

But you've gotta embrace it.  No other choice. I've found that if you take the approach "Hey, Great win! Your win over Michigan was the greatest thing you guys ever did..." and embrace it that way, then you're really giving respect to Michigan AND Appy State for a really nice victory.

Thats really what ive done.  After all, if you remeber i was sitting in the app state section as a guest to  for one of my former players during that game.  So i was actually excited for them,  just not in a fun way.  Actually the most anoying ones down here are the osu fans that i coach with.  They are the ones that dont let it die.  Most of the app state fans have been pretty cool to me. Just not looking forward to watching the app guys break down the video in front of 4000 people.

Gsimm85,
That App State game really opened my eyes to the fact that English and his staff were not so great.  I had suspicions after the 2006 game at OSU, but the 1st half of the Appy State game can definitely provide a clinic on what NOT to do. It's only after halftime (probably when Szabo or Bedford pointed it out) that English made the proper adjustments. Watching your team make bonehead plays over and over again, rewind, again. Rewind, again. That's like some kind of torture, man!

The Ring
Knowing Appalachia as I, and I think most of us here do, it's only going to be a matter of weeks before those rings start showing up in Ebay or in pawn shops to be sold for enough capital to start up new meth labs throughout the region.

Logo
http://www.logos.umich.edu/usemarks.html Relevant bits: "Consumer Products. A license must be obtained prior to any external, commercial use of the University marks, including the manufacture and distribution of all commercial and consumer products. Applications for a license may be obtained from the University’s licensing agent, the Collegiate Licensing Company on their website. Photographs of campus scenes, landmarks, or athletic events may only be used for news and editorial purposes and may not be exploited commercially without the express permission of the Office of the Vice President for Communications. NCAA regulations require that photographs of current student-athletes enrolled at the University may not be sold or used in association with commercial products. Photographs of former University student-athletes may not be sold or used without their consent and written permission." And I think we used to license the logo to Missouri, or let them use it for free, can't remember. But then they decided it would be easier for them to change their logo. http://webcom.missouri.edu/policy/logo-guidelines.php But I don't think we should sue them, best to let this one slide by unnoticed. Also, if it's only given to the players, is it considered a commercial product? or can anyone buy one?

Agreed
It would make us look really bad.  Big, wealthy Michigan picking on that poor little school that upset them.  Still, if whoever made the rings (lets assume App St) did so without permission, then UM has a legitimate lawsuit on its hands (even if UM shouldn't pursue it), and it wouldn't be like Wisconsin suing Washburn College for having a similar W.  It's possible that the rings were made by some official body of the NCAA, which may already have the right to use those logos.  I don't know though.

War Cologne
When I want some confidence, or when I want to be dominant, I use a cologne called "Ass". It lets the lucky ladies at the bar know that I am the shit. It lets them know what hole I'm after. It let's them know that I can walk around smelling like shit, and they are still going to come home with me. It's kind of a reverse psychology thing. When they smell "Ass", and they ask if that is coming from me, I say, "No. Of course not. It's from pretty boy who just bought you a drink. He is a homo, and can't wash off the smell". It may not work on getting her in the sack every time, but usually she runs off, leaving the drink behind, and it's a SCORE! for me either way.

Irony
It's also ironic that the land that produced our most humiliating defeat(Appalachia), one that tore our prgram asunder, is also the same land, from the Appalachian Mountains of West Virgina, that gave us our (hopefully) new and prodigiously successful Head Coach for the next 20 years. Ya know, 'cuz dem boys from Appalachia can play some ball, and now WE got one of those good ol' boys, Richie Rod-RE-Gez, and he gonna put a butt whuppin' on our rivals now... YEEEE HAWWW!!!!

Not only that
It all comes around full circle.  Jerry Moore, IIRC, learned the spread offense from Rich Rodriguez.  Again, IIRC, LSU was originally supposed to play App St last year, but instead LSU opted out so that it could get the Thurs night slot for first game of the year, against Mississippi St.  App St was available and was asked to play us.  It's a strange turn of events, one that resulted in the worst, most embarrassing loss ever.  I don't know if I would want that to happen to anyone else, not even the teams I hate most.  It was so damn painful.  Actually, if it happened to someone else, it would take a bit of the attention away from our defeat.  How about if Georgia loses to Georgia Southern?  Pundits will say that that is even bigger because Georgia was supposed to be really good with all of its returning starters and was ranked #1.  Also, the App St loss will look more legit in a way since GA Southern and App St. are in the same conference.  Keep dreaming...

Some more ideas...
Navy should get rings this year with the Commander-in-Chief trophy on one side of their ring, and then the Notre Dame score on the other side.....because THAT's what they'll be remembered for. And all Stanford football players should get rings for helping win the Sears Director's Cup, and maybe on one side, they could put the score to the USC game (along with the pre-game Vegas spread)... I'm starting to warm up to this idea....

Appy State
While I do get a kick out of rationalizing away their victory by saying stuff like, "Well y3eah, man, Michigan was a pile of 9-4 poo and the Big Ten was poo too", you have to give them their due. They showed how pathetic Lloyd Carr's version of Michigan had become, and they deserve a ring not just for making sure Lloyd wouldn;t be back, but embarrassing him and his staff enough so that none of those fucktards would replace him.

You're ordinarily one of the funny, intelligent guys. Now, go to the corner and take a corn cob and stick it up your ass for equating, or nearly equating, a football game to 9/11. No vaseline or KY either. Just shove that thing up your ass for being so brazenly pathetic as to even hint that a football came carries anything more than a very cursory importance in the grand scheme of things. And never do something to make me this mad again.

Sorry
Er. It wasn't meant to be serious and it was more a parody of the way that someone might exaggerate the importance of sports, but I apologize if I seemed to tastelessly suggest that the two events carried similar gravity. For the record, I don't actually believe that The Horror was the worst thing to ever happen, as it is just a game. It was quite possibly the worst thing to ever happen in sports, at least for me, but I don't actually think that an event in sports even approaches the loss of human life. I'm a bit smarter than that.

It's a compliment....
As a die-hard Michigan fan, your response should be (and try to sound sincere, not like sarcastic prick): "I absolutely think that SHOULD be on your championship ring. Beating a mediocre 9-4 Michigan team that tied for 2nd place in the lousy Big Ten was the single greatest accomplishment in the history of your program. So yeah, great job with that!"

that more people will remember their team for beating Michigan than for winning the FCS title and that you must admit it'll be one fucking cool story for the players to tell their grandkids someday, I don't think it makes them look silly at all.

Stadium
Hmmm...I didn't even see our stadium on the ring when I first looked at the post...maybe my brain was trying to save me from any pain it might cause... Now I'm not so sure I'm okay with it. Aww, what the hell. Us trying to tell anyone else what they can and can't put on their rings would just make us look childish. I think they actually look a little stupid putting it on there anyways.

Braylon...
If you would have let Mallet rub some of that cologne on his hand, would he not have fumbled the snap so many times? What about Grady? or Bike Hart on the goal line against Florida? or Navarre for his whole career? Tell us Braylon...TELL US!!!

It's got real bits of panther in it...
Sorry. Anyway, on the "M" front, I will say that colors aside, our Block M is identical to Missourri's insignia. (http://www.nflhelmetstore.com/missouri.htm Further, I don't believe we've trademarked the appearance of our stadium, nor do I believe such a thing is possible.
