SIAP - Did not see anyting on the board
what in the name of Zeus' butthole is going on there?
that trainer is freezing that players rectum shut so he can continue to play soccer even though he needs to drop a raging deuce. Pretty standard practice these days
A Coke bottle does the same thing, frozen or not.
Hmph. I applied it the same way, but not for the same reason.
Coke bottle or does diet coke also work?
but fucking seriously. What in theee hell is going on there? Come on all you so-called soccer super fans on here.
Trying to smoke out Lemmywinks? I don't know man...One guy is in serious pain while another man aims some sort of gas gun directly at his anus. Whatever is going on there is no good for either participant.
stop laughing right now.
I need a legit explanation from a soccer person on this. I can't tell if the smoke/mist is what is causing the discomfort or if it is trying to relieve it. Is the "sprayer" a good samaritan or he is committing some type of really bizarre assault on an opponent.
That is a very unsettling image.
haven't laughed this hard in a while. I think the funniest thing is that if you watch the "trainer", he is so calm and matter of fact, like he does this every day from 9 to 5.
the players walking by, just casually looking down at a fallen comrade getting that thing.
"Checks ya assholes"
at least you're trying. It does not go unappreciated.
How do you know his name is Zeus?
Is it wrong that I'm imagining Mystery Science Theater 3000 audio here?
Dude with gun: Just relax sir, we're repairing the damage now
Guy on ground: Oh shit... I thought I could fit in one more burrito.
Alternate:
Dude with gun: <censored>
Dude on ground: <ceonsored>
... who in turn answer to the fans watching (or not watching)

I was one of the few who liked it since I usually take NYE off and watching football is more fun than the usual NYE parties, but I can see why they moved it. Having it on Saturday will be nice too. I just hope I get the chance to attend a couple of 'em to see Jim lead us to some big wins.
I felt that way too. I kind of liked it for personal reasons, but it was one of those things that I knew was so, so, so stupid from a business perspective that it made me angry just knowing how stupid it was on a larger scale.

or they can tell the highly overrated NFL to fuck off and have their NCAA games whenever they want...
I'll never understand the obsession with the NFL in this country.

This probably tops putting the games on NYE in terms of stupid decisions that will result in as few people as possible watching the game. You not liking the NFL doesn't impact this anymore than the guy who liked having it on NYE because he has no friends to see.

Of the 50 most-watched sporting events in the United States in 2015, a whopping 43 were NFL gameshttp://www.businessinsider.com/most-watched-sporting-events-of-2015-201…
It's the highest level of the country's most popular sport. Additionally, people who didn't go to college can claim fanhood for a team based on geographic proximity rather than university attendence, opening it up to a wider fan base. Not hard to understand.
I haven't been out for NYE in a decade or two. I would have been fine watching Michigan from the comfort of my couch on NYE this year.

Yeah, I was with you until you said "from the comfort of my couch". Should Michigan make the playoff, I will be fine with watching it in person on NYE.
Good news: this is still in play for you. Changes aren't until 2018.
I wanted to slip in that I planned to see Michigan in the playoffs this year.

coaches sure know how to party.
The only thing more sacred than NYE debauchery is Spring Break hooliganism.

See, all it took was for someone to remind them that the current model for financing the airing of these games doesn't work so well when you schedule them at times when no one can watch them. I should say that this is fine for a mid-September Vanderbilt vs. Only Team Worse Than U game because you don't want people to watch that necessarily (and the only sponsor you could get was Uncle Ed's Oil Shoppe), but the CFP semifinals? Yeah, different strategy.

Oh man. I have such a distaste for those direct marketing, be your own boss, recruit all the humans you know, pyramid schemes. I'm sure of it is fine, but...
My friends called me up to invite my wife and I for dinner for the first time and oh-by-the-way look over our current life insurance AND see if we were interested in "partnering" with them in some direct sales, pyramid consmetics company. I said no thanks to the dinner and friendship once it was clear that we were just leads to them.
We also had a family member show up to our house for dinner with her felow business people (who were not known or invited) to sell us stuff. Not cool.
What the heck is this thread about again?
