OT: Super Bowl Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on February 7th, 2010 at 6:19 PM

About an hour to go. Hoping for a good game, expecting it to not live up to the hype. Go Saints! For New Orleans, and the continuing glory of Tom Brady. But in any regard, another couple of Wolverines are getting a ring. And at least we'll have the commercials...we'll see who the $2.5 million Denise is tonight...

it is like when you play NCAA - always kick first so you get the ball after the half.

on this drive - that Colston drop is looking really bad. I love Doritos and beer - but fuck these Dortios and Bud Light commericials, especially Bud Light for including that no talent T. Pain. Now Monster.com has a beaver playing a fiddle, that I can support.

Kinda OT - Now, this batch of commercials is pretty good. I'm always surprised how they decide to bunch the ads together.

I'm a fan of any commercial that reminds me of Stripes--even if it's a shitty Bud commercial.

Yes. On the touchdown drive he was in on the first play. He lined up at fullback and went out for a pass.

NY Times has an article titled "The New Math on Campus." Manningham is never mentioned--although the subject clearly implies Mario's influence. Sigh... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/07/fashion/07campus.html

I just assumed that 30-40% of all random hookups on Michigan's campus while Manningham was at school directly involved him. It's like he's the Wilt Chamberlain of Michigan football--or better yet, Wilt is the Manningham of NBA basketball.

A friend of mine lived with Mario his final year in Ann Arbor....he said Mario and B. Minor would would find hot girls on Facebook from Central Michigan and convince them to bring friends down to Ann Arbor on random weeknights......basically did whatever they wanted.

The NY Times is hilarious sometimes. Now that females are no longer victims of being the minority on campus, they are now victims of having to "compete on male terms".

If they'd have kicked it with 1:50 to go, they'd have kicked off, and Indy wouldn't have been pinned at their own goal line. The Saints might have gotten the ball back, but in worse field position.

Anyone notice that it was AC in a Michigan Panther game (probably Atari Bowl 1) that was the highlight in the commercial where the guy should have been watching the game live on his cell phone? AC in the house big.

Loved seeing Desmond as part of a historical "where were you" montage. I was only 1, so I would have to ask, but I would guess in a crib in the living room while my dad was watching the game.

I'm sure this has been mentioned a lot already, but it's nice seeing Hart get carries in the Superbowl. They obviously have confidence in him, giving him the rock on their own goal line. They know he won't fumble, keep it up Colts! Go Mike, go!
