You can't stop trolls you can only hope to contain them.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
...singular sensation, every little step he takes!
December 26th, 2018 at 6:00 PM ^
It should be - but they don’t have normal intellect and empathy like the rest of us.
December 27th, 2018 at 8:58 PM ^
Honest question. When probable #1 pick Bosa drops out due to an injury that couldn’t have healed until the Rose bowl, this board was overflowing with condescension and pointing to it as a sign of turmoil amongst tOSU team. A couple flips of the calendar and 0 tOSU players are sitting out of the bowl game, including their 1st round QB pick and probable 1st round pick Jones. UM has 4ish players sitting out, Ive read the comments on JH and players playing hurt, is there any fire to the smoke or only rumors?
**with that question being asked, turf toe will humble any player regardless of their will. It’s horrible.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:01 PM ^
Excited to see the young guys get playing time. Not as deflating if you think about the game as a preview for 2019.
Popular to contrary belief on the board, this is an important game!
Hopefully JBB is the last guy that needs to sit out.
December 26th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
It's importance is because.....?
December 26th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
It gives the young guys reps for next year.
I know it's edgy and trendy to pretend like you don't care about this game. An L will make all of you care especially Harbaugh's critics.
December 26th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
1) Because one of Harbaugh's much touted 10 win seasons is due to winning a bowl game.
2) Because 11 wins > 10 wins
It matters as much as any game.
December 26th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
I'm sure the people who tout Harbaugh's 10 wins in 3 of 4 seasons will gladly retract to 10 wins in 2 of 4 seasons since, you know, bowl games don't matter LOL.
December 26th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
The whole "the bowl game doesn't matter" is so stupid. It's like when my daughter can't learn a skill in gymnastics and all of the sudden it doesn't matter. She's five, but this proactive loser shit from grown men is pathetic.
December 26th, 2018 at 7:33 PM ^
Primitive and reductive. Glad I'm not your kid. Attitude of scorn is not going to help her or anyone. I absolutely agree that the bowl game is far from meaningless, but you're not making the case--have you got one to make?
EDIT: Obviously, people aren't real interested when you impugn their parenting skills; I apologize for that. But otherwise, I stand by this analysis. I have a daughter who plays soccer and who sometimes travels the same path. I don't see scorning such behavior as productive, and the notion that this is some widespread illness that certain men suffer. . . bunk of a kind we hear all too often from certain corners of the net. Lectures about how everyone needs to be tougher are a dime a dozen; the fact that a certain subset subscribes doesn't make them legitimate.

Dipshit,
You don't know anything about how I parent. Feel free to fuck yourself with a cactus. Any orifice will do.
December 26th, 2018 at 7:57 PM ^
We might not know, but we all assume you do everything like a condescending prick :)
December 26th, 2018 at 8:10 PM ^
No. I just interact with self-entitled fuckheads in this way.
December 26th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
Your day must be exhausting.
December 26th, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
as long as your anger management issues don’t extend past anonymous posts on message boards, I’m sure you are a great parent
December 26th, 2018 at 11:00 PM ^
Credit where it's due..."Feel free to fuck yourself with a cactus." ...is one I had not yet encountered.
December 27th, 2018 at 12:24 AM ^

Bowl games matter. It is routinely one of the stats that is highlighted when discussing a coaches' record.
December 26th, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
But not to some players. If the game isn't important to the players why should we give it more importance than they?
December 28th, 2018 at 6:33 PM ^
How the heck do you know?
December 27th, 2018 at 11:16 AM ^
It doesnt matter as much as the Ohio State game did. Feel free to try and argue that fact away.
December 26th, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
It’s important if you like to compete
December 27th, 2018 at 12:04 AM ^
Because you play sports to win.
December 26th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
The Cube, that is exactly how I am viewing this bowl game...almost as a really really really glorified Spring Game. I don't particularly care if we lose. This "Bowl Team" is not the "team" of our regular season.
Hopefully the youth gets some really good experience and hopefully they expand the play book and take some risks and see if some different formations...even being more pass heavy than run heavy...works and can be effective.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:03 PM ^
As a side note Marvin will be announcing his TOP TEN!! later tonight. Stay tuned!
December 26th, 2018 at 6:06 PM ^
Why start another thread on this stupid topic. Kid might or might not have a turf toe, it doesn't really matter at this point.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
He literally stated why in the OP
December 26th, 2018 at 6:11 PM ^
We need an ignore function on this site for people like you.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
Would be a dream.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:50 PM ^
Imagine the subscriptions they could sell with this as a premium feature.
Would also very much like a subscriber feature to annotate particular users' nicks so I can remember who the trolls are and what kind, etc.
December 27th, 2018 at 11:07 AM ^
Mr. umbig11 your contributions are appreciated and I enjoy reading your posts!!
December 26th, 2018 at 6:08 PM ^
Turf toe absolutely sucks and was one of the more aggravating injuries I have ever had. That crap just nags on and on and on
December 26th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
Any injury to the big toe is just awful. It can feel fine for a week, and one bad step your right back in nasty pain. Only rest can help it.
December 26th, 2018 at 8:57 PM ^
Yes...turf toe or gout. Have either one of those and let me know how a big toe can ruin your life for a couple days / couple of weeks.
December 26th, 2018 at 9:06 PM ^
So does camel toe
December 26th, 2018 at 6:08 PM ^
Thanks UMbig11. Your contributions are appreciated! Go Blue
December 26th, 2018 at 6:11 PM ^
It’s really embarrassing how many reactionary assholes are in this fanbase, assholes with little or no information or perspective that jump all over young men making important choices about their futures. Hope they shut the hell up now.
And good luck, JBB.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
Hahaha love it. So sick of the trolls on here. Get em umbig11.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
Grumble grumble grumble... Fake insider...grumble grumble grumble /s
December 26th, 2018 at 6:34 PM ^
turf toe sucks. if you have ever had it you would understand. it is very difficult to get any push off that foot because you've hyper extended the toe(s) and you just can't get any dig/grab/leverage until it is 100% healed.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:48 PM ^
All true and when as big as a human as JBB trying to move other large humans it’s tough to recover from. Hope he gets healthy and can make it at the next level
December 26th, 2018 at 6:34 PM ^
If we win, great... If we lose, hope you all are just as understanding that this game is more for experience than a W.
December 27th, 2018 at 12:09 AM ^
You calling someone else stupid; now that's rich.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:36 PM ^
I have a strong theory on who umbig11 is in the real world.
