We're From Phoenix

By Brian — September 29th, 2008 at 12:38 PM — 199 comments

9/26/2008 – Michigan 27, Wisconsin 25 – 2-2, 1-0 Big Ten

threet-run

I don't have to tell you it was ugly at first, but an illuminating example: at a couple points in the first half when the guy with the red hat was on the field various family members of mine stood up because we're natural standers frustrated by the usual decorum of our section.

A set of ancients crabbed at them to sit down despite, you know, the lack of anything to see other than a guy with a red hat standing on the field, and when this was finally annoying enough for someone to respond with the obvious riposte about the red hat a full-scale verbal confrontation ensued in which the crabs behind us simultaneously complained about how we were violating the stadium announcer's request to treat our fellow seatmates with respect and called my cousin "fatso."

I thought but did not say "I know you are wearing a hat that indicates you fought at the battle of Antietam but don't think I won't smash your skull into splinters."

At halftime, Michigan had 21 yards. I tried to hide from the sun and list all the things I would rather do than watch the second half.

----------------

At the beginning of the year we were all confronted by an unexpected cost imposed by the massive turnover in coaches and star players: Michigan seemed a little like laundry we wanted to win, and sucky laundry at that. They wore the wrong numbers and ran the wrong way and certainly played the wrong way and goddammit where was Mike Hart?

We know college football players not as people but as things that have transpired on the field. By the story arcs their careers trace out, tragedy or comedy. Without those—without even Lloyd Carr's story to fall back on—the first few games of the season were strangely numb. They lost to Utah? Okay. They lost by 18 to Notre Dame? Okay. You can go back and check the columns here: serenity reigned. That was born from detachment.

Johnny at RBUAS captured this sentiment perfectly:

Mike, Jake and Chad risked their dignity and only left with a little of it, but they came back in the first place by choice, because of something bigger. As for the guys that are still here, Trent and Jamison are mostly quiet and patient and had no place else to go. And no matter how jubilant and grateful Terrance might seem, he knew how much money could be made by coming back. I don’t hesitate to say that wins this year won’t be as satisfying as wins last year were. Not enough of these players have suffered yet.

Those people out there aren't Mike, Jake, and Chad but Threet and McGuffie (or Shaw or Minor or Brown or Grady) and I'm Not Sure Who The Left Tackle Is This Week.

But there is no better one-word description for the first half Saturday than "suffering," and Johnny Thompson is always going to be the guy who picked off Allan Evridge. Steven Threet could have four years of moments good and bad in him but I suspect to me he'll always be looking over his shoulder at Wisconsin safeties, just as shocked at what is transpiring as everyone else.

After it was over I did something I hadn't done since I was a kid making paper airplanes out of the free programs and throwing confetti* in the air whenever Michigan scored. I went down to the tunnel as the players exited the field and watched them go: Taylor boisterous, high fiving anyone he came across, Warren stoic, the Coner completely neutral until someone thumped his shoulder pads in congratulations. The only thing that betrayed Kevin Koger and his old man beard as an 18 year old, not an Antietam veteran, was the kid-on-Christmas-morning smile stretching from ear-to-ear. A blood-soaked band-aid hung from Thompson's chin, gamely sticking to a couple of hairs in his ragged beard. Barwis looked like he was stuck in a paint shaker.

These are no longer strangers. I know how they run, and they are mine. I wanted to say something to them, to wrap everything that had just transpired into a sentence and give it to them, to tell them about ashes and hope and the future. But nothing came.

--------------------

After Brandon Minor's touchdown run I turned around to see what the crabs were thinking and perhaps to say something unkind. They had left at halftime.

--------------------

This is what I should have said: "Those who stay will be champions."

 

BULLETS

  • Thanks, karma! The entire crab sequence was awesome.
  • Carson Butler got suspended and Mike Massey flailed around a bit before being replaced by Kevin "My Name Lacks An R" Koger, who proceeded to do nothing obviously wrong and then caught a seam route touchdown. If they're going to burn a redshirt, it might as well be for a 30-yard touchdown, and since he doesn't seem appreciably worse than either of the two nominal starters I say let it ride.
  • This is what I am talking about with the "It's Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine" chant. It should be kept in reserve for Events.
  • I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but if you booed the team you're an asshat. You wear asses for hats. Yes, you may have the purchased the right to boo your asshat-wearing heads off, but you are also taking your frustration out on a team that's obviously trying really hard but just kind of sucks from time to time. Booing the coaches is your excuse? Don't care, the players couldn't tell, and now they probably think we're all asshats because of you. You have a "right" to boo. You also have the right to give your grandmother the finger and call her a harlot.
  • The block M in the student section was not epic fail but it did look a little squat from my vantage point.
  • What is the point of replay if they aren't going to overturn that ridiculous Wisconsin "reception" in the fourth quarter? Even the Wisconsin fans in our section thought that was a terrible call.
  • As I was walking home these guys behind me were having an extended conversation about how Rodriguez was dumb to go for two. One: they were wrong. Two: seriously? Seriously this is what you're focusing on instead of one of the best games in Michigan Stadium history? It must suck to be those guys.
  • Those guys at the 1997 OSU game: "It should never have been that close."
  • Those guys at the birth of their children: "he has a disappointingly shaped head, did you have to push so hard?"
  • Those guys in the space machine vortex thingy from Contact: "you should have sent a poet. I'm just a guy who has no understanding of game theory. I'm not even enjoying this because I don't have someone belting out quatrains about these stupid galaxies."

*(Also made from the free programs. Those things are clutch when you're ten.)

The sockpuppets are better at WLA...

BluZee, if you want to see some really good sockpuppeting, you should visit the WLA in a postgame thread.  There's this one asshole, Bend It Like Gingell (BILG), who every.fucking.time comes up with some new handle and just shits all over RichRod and the team and anyone that supports them.  Win, lose, it doesn't matter- for some reason, BILG just loves shitting on Michigan.

This BILG guy, he's a stupid douchebag that has no friends and doesn't get laid.  You might like him.

So, I know you are a troll

So, I know you are a troll and all. But in the unlikely event you are serious, let's make sure I understand your theory:

 

1. I (we?) are Brian. 

2. Brian registered 1,000+ account names the day the site switched.

3. Brian regularly, and with absurd frequency, posts with these names...under his own posts. 

4. Not satisfied, he created blogs comprised of other fake members, like the WLA. 

5. Where he posts entries by these fake members.

6. And then posts hundreds of times under these WLA blog posts. 

And he does all this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Just wanted to be clear.

Change your syntax if you

Change your syntax if you want to "sell" your charade. You overuse the term "troll." (I can tell it's you, just like you can tell this is "me.")

There you go again, with your one-dimensional reasoning: you can have 1000+ members AND have several screen names under which you post to yourself.

Maybe to boost your traffic numbers? That's fraud, isn't it? Hmmm.

If it pays good enough, hell yeah, you'll post to yourself 24/7.

TO HELL!!!!!

No question, Jim.

I've "saved" these comments. Since I seem to be the only one in here, except for yours truly, I want to always have a record of it because it's so unbelievable.  Sort of a "the sound of one hand clapping" vibe going on.

Seriously, dude, you need help.  (Hint: maybe your different "personas" should learn to write in different styles, as well. Then it won't be as obvious.)

OK. First, this site launched on 6/30. Every single person who joined on the day it launched (IE, everyone that read it when it was on blogspot) has the join date of 6/30. So, we are not all the same person.

Second, not one of us is Brian. His screen name is "Brian".

BluZee -- your belief that

BluZee -- your belief that the booing was the cause of the TT speech assumes that item #5 on the list was the tipping point, not the four items in front of that.  None of us know for certain, but I will suspect that items #1 "Just the situation" and #2 "my last year" were enough motivate TT to rouse his fellow teammates. 

And placing such significance of TT's speech assumes that comments from coaches and the self-awareness of the players to their situation hold little merit.

Go Blue!

You should re-read my earlier

You should re-read my earlier posts so you know what my argument was. Either your comprehension is very limited, or you are so busy listening to all the many conversations in your head, that what other people are saying simply can't penetrate.

Try tripling your dose.

Just because multiple people

Just because multiple people think that you have missed the mark, don't convince yourself that its all the same person with multiple handles. 

BTW.  Will Campbell and the Cass Tech contingent left before the end of the game.  Who knows what portion of the fan involvement he witnessed.  And if he didn't stay for the end, it is far more likely that her heard the asshat "fans."  Hopefullythe majority of us aren't booing the asshats on signing day for Will going somewhere else.

Or maybe he couldn't stomach

Or maybe he couldn't stomach the poor performance he saw in the first half. Good players don't want to play for a team that plays like that, and don't want to play for a team whose fans accept such shoddy play.

This is Division I football, not the AYSO.

The number of people agreeing

The number of people agreeing or disagreeing doesn't really matter, does it? That's juvenile logic.

What matters is backing up your opinion with evidence: as one of your many "personas" mentioned in one of the posts. I did that. You--or should I say "YOU ALL"--didn't.

Dude...seriously...there's like thousands of people here with the same registration date. I mean, honestly. This is beyond stupid. You cannot possibly be so dumb. You just can't. I refuse to believe. I don't want to believe it. I don't want to live in a world where you think we are all the same person. It's insane. It's almost criminal. How can you be allowed to walk the streets? How did you graduate high school? What has society come to? I mean, you're going to break me here. I'm fucking losing it. You are just blowing my mind with idiocy.

Recap:

Your point was the booing had NO effect on the players, NOT the booing wasn't in the top top four effects.

My point was simply that the booing CAN, and PROBABLY DID, provide some added motivation IN THIS CASE. The quote proves my point.

Get over it.

BluZee -- TT did mention

BluZee -- TT did mention it.  It was FIFTH on his list of issues, behind it being the 500th game.  ONE on the list was the situation, that being on the WRONG SIDE OF 19-0.

The potential loss of recruits and alienation of players and their families is worth venting your spleen and ranking FIFTH on the reasons why TT gave his speech?  You are a short-sighted jackass.

I'll repeat, since you appear to be one of the slow ones.


 

You are the epitome of what's wrong with our society. When someone disagrees with you, or proves a point against your argument, you lose any iota of class you may have PRETENDED to have and resort to insults. Grow up.

Evolve.

BTW, ganging up on me with all your different screen names is a nifty trick. Next time, try to create your different names on different days!!!!

I suppose you have arguments with yourself all the time: medication not working?

I actually agree with BluZee

But I want to pose this question to everyone.  What is worse:

1. booing your team after the type of football from the first half?

2. leaving the game early in any case?

3. not cheering at all?

Well, all three happened at the Wisconsin game.  I think 2 and 3 could be worse.  Also, we have a very large (too large) portion of our fans who sit on their asses during the game and barely say anything.  If booing creates a negative divide amongst players and fans, then what does not cheering do?  Those who are lame duck crowd members are worse than the booers and should stay home.

Um

Yes, we could be the same person...

 

Or we could have all signed up on the first day of the change-over.

 

Clearly, I have created 9 sock puppet accounts that I use to post on my own blog as well. To further the illusion. 

Or, it could be that there actually are that many people who disagree with you.
