Facts
November 11th, 2023 at 10:03 AM ^
When we were kids in the 70’s, my older brother would say Bet if you disagreed with him. Then he would hold out his hand so you both could shake on it.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:59 AM ^
Somebody PLEASE who is in the Athens area, and who is in the State College area, make this a large maize and blue sign and hold it up during the College Game Day and Big Noon Kickoff shows.
And then on November 25th, hold up a thousand of them.

It should replace B1G logo on their jerseys. Ultimate fuck you to the conference.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:14 AM ^
With sharpies & athletic tape, it would be easy (like this), and I bet The Team would absolutely be up for it.
November 11th, 2023 at 7:58 AM ^
What does it mean?
November 11th, 2023 at 7:59 AM ^
Kinda like "oh yeah? You wanna bet? Watch this."

my daughter tried to explain it this:
"ok, this is how it's gonna be? Ok, fine."
So yeah, I think you're right.
November 11th, 2023 at 9:59 AM ^
Your daughter delivered the best explanation of it. And now I completely understand.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:33 AM ^
No. It simply means "ok". In this context, it means "you fucked up and pissed us off, but ok." But usually just an affirmative term.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:07 AM ^
exactly - it is mostly an affirmative. Wanna get on COD? OK bet. I have boys.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:01 AM ^
funny, but it actually is the resurrection of an expression that is 40-50 years old. it's meaning in context is translated into something like, "oh yeah, just watch!", meaning the bet is a challenge as to who will win a given proposition.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:04 AM ^
Bet me, here hold my beer.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:10 AM ^
I recall using the term "wanna bet?" quite often, so that all makes a ton of sense
November 11th, 2023 at 8:36 AM ^
It has 0 to do with an actual bet, wanting to bet, or making a bet. Or even a bet period.
Example:
"I'll be there in 10 minutes."
"Bet. I'll be outside waiting.

you are not getting paid to spread the urban dictionary to the masses homie

When I heard my teens start saying this, I told them we used it as well years ago. Shocked many in their 40s and 50s have to ask what it means.

Actually, no, it has nothing to do with that... This is a hip-hop term from the late '90s/early 2000s.

Because it doesn't mean what you think it does...
Respectfully, XM has it all wrong, it has nothing to do with "betting" in the traditional sense.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:42 AM ^
agreed, but that’s not what I said, either.please articulate what you think it means.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:00 AM ^
I mean, I can restate (from my other reply) what I know it means -
It's more or less a confirmation of something, particularly when you and someone else are in agreement.
Example:
"Yo, you finna be at the game?"
"Fasho."
"I'll see you there, then."
"Aight, bet."
So, in the Team's case they're alllllllll in agreement with what needs to happen from here on out...
November 12th, 2023 at 7:39 AM ^
equally respectfully, you're wrong to rely on the urban dictionary. to test my hypothesis i asked a bunch of college and high school kids from all over yesterday and they are in 100% agreement with the definition that i have and that all or nearly all of the posters here echo, too.
anybody else is simply co-opting and/or corrupting the original practice.

Santa tweeted this after the punishment was made public, as in, you think you have the winning move? Bet.
PS. I love Santa. He deserves his own shirt - something like Clark Kent morphing into Superman while Captain Morgan posing on the B1G logo?
November 11th, 2023 at 8:06 AM ^
I had to look it up on urban dictionary this morning
November 11th, 2023 at 9:14 AM ^
Careful with UD. You might learn the Revelli isn’t the only place you can find a rusty trombone.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:20 AM ^
I will bet that you will regret what you just did
November 11th, 2023 at 8:39 AM ^
”Buckle up”
November 11th, 2023 at 8:42 AM ^
How my boys and I always used it.

Are we going to curb stomp PSU today? Bet.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:43 AM ^
You wouldn't understand.
November 11th, 2023 at 9:03 AM ^
It's a bet then...you'll see me win.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:09 AM ^
Black Entertainment Television.
Michigan just left the B1G and we have an exclusive TV agreement with BET.

Can our media department make a new special intro for OSU with bet?
November 11th, 2023 at 7:59 AM ^
Just need James Earl Jones to tack on "bet" to the end of his already awesome intro.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:03 AM ^
He’s gotta go full Darth Vader for OSU.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:08 AM ^
"We're gonna hang 100 on them"...Bet
November 11th, 2023 at 8:21 AM ^
At a minimum, it does need to be modified to take out “proud” member of the Big Ten Conference.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:40 AM ^
How about founding?
November 11th, 2023 at 8:53 AM ^
How about former.

As they all start coming out of the woodwork, this is a reminder of what a fantastic alum base Michigan has.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:02 AM ^
We BET
November 11th, 2023 at 8:06 AM ^
This is the first time I've seen the fanbase so unified in my entire life (45+ years of fandom). It is actually awesome and incredible.
