Saturday Night (cyber) BBQ Party and More Personal Questions
Mates,
Looking at a few threads, seems like the blogarrazzi are on edge a little, perhaps understandably so. Lets move away from the end of the world, at least for a few minutes. Since we are confined to a virtual world for a while anyway, I suppose its time to get used to these cyber-gatherings. So pull your avatar up and lets have at some discussion:
1. What is in your glass and/or on your BBQ and dinner plate tonight?
2. Dog or cat person?
3. You are forced to pick an alternate uniform for our glorious football team, what do you choose?
4. You are some kind of super hero and have to swim across a body of water in order to save humanity. You get to choose between having it filled with sharks or alligators. Which one do you choose?
5. Since some folks asked on the last one, here you go: Ginger or Marianne?
I see its a torrential rain storm downstate, so where your swim suits if you go outside. Snorkel for safety, and take care of yourself and your families.
XM
I mean, people will say Marianne and that's OK. But Ginger was straight fine.

do they show a different cast in russia? you may need therapy.
1) blackberry/jalapeño margarita
2) cat, low maintenance and don’t have to be let outside to shit
3) alternate? I guess the UTL 1 unis were pretty cool. Let’s go with those.
4) sharks I guess? Either way I’m screwed.
5) neither
1) Rockford’s Hoplust. Sauerkraut and polish sausage in the crockpot to go over mashed taters.
2) We have a Giant Schnauzer (preferred) and took in a stray cat about 6mo ago (not preferred)
3) hmmm..maybe inverse colors on the helmet with all whites?
4) Sharks, probably have a higher success rate
5) Marianne...thought she was a total babe as a child
Stay safe
My glass is filled with joy and hope. Gave up alcohol a long time ago because it made me go on the internet and say crazy things. So I'm much more grounded now.
I was a dog person most of my life until I ended up with an awesome cat and now I'm both.
Please no more alternates. But if I have to choose one, I'd say have the stitching say "fuck OSU" in tiny letters everywhere.
Marianne.
you going to have the jumpman picture holding out your logo on your jersey design?
So you gave up alcohol at like 2 pm today?
March 29th, 2020 at 10:38 AM ^
I'm glad someone caught on
1. I smoked a pork butt yesterday. We did pulled pork sandwiches last night and pork nachos tonight. Bourbon in the glass tonight while I watch season 3 of Ozarks.
2. Dogs all the way. Love my mutt. We had a few barn cats growing up, never felt much of a connection to them. Could be because their main purpose was to kill mice only.
3. I don't like alternative unis very much usually
4. Sharks. They're faster and more viscous than gators and if I'm a superhero I can outswim them and if they bite me it won't hurt. Give me the more notorious predator and the glory that goes with outdoing them
5. Ginger. Don't feel like I need to explain.
1. Blue Lobster vodka soda (nova scotia thing)
2. 5 Year old retriever (Finnegan) 4 year old Newfoundland (Woodson)
3. Tuxedo unis. Classy as shit
4. Sharks, preferably baby ones
5. Marianne and it's not even close
substantial undercurrent here at the farm for a newfie, but mrs. XM is not for it. one of those dogs wandered down to the farm on the day my father died in 2011 and simply camped out in the front yard for a month. kids loved the dog. he just stood watch, i guess. kind of like a furry aircraft carrier.
March 28th, 2020 at 10:15 PM ^
They are the best. The bastard looks me eye to eye when his front paws are up on my shoulders. Trust him more around my 5 month old than I do most of my family. Get a furminator and a damn good vacuum though.
I'm quarantined with a toddler. The idea of baby sharks throws me into a fit of distemper and rage. Amazon Prime has a "season" of baby shark videos. They're all about 90 seconds long. After episode 6, it stops autoplaying them, probably because they figure, "who will watch this continuously"? They have never met my daughter.
Did you pick the name for your dog from Captain Kirk's nemesis on one of the Star Track series show or was if the talking puppet in Mr. Dressup, an old Canadian kid show.
1. Elijah Craig
2. Cat(low maintenance)
3. The all maize ones
4. Sharks. Unless Im bleeding
5. Marianne(there was a freak hiding in there)
March 28th, 2020 at 11:32 PM ^
Agree on #3. The all-maize look vs Florida was not as bad as I thought it would be. I wouldn't want to see them on the field at home, but for neutral site/bowl game or even road games, I wouldn't mind. Maize works for basketball and hockey, for football I can get used to it too.
1: Upper Pass in my glass. Made some pulled pork carnitas and jalapeño cheddar beer bread for dinner tonight.
2: Have both but dog person.
3: If I gotta pick, I say all blue unis. Don’t mess with the helmets.
4: Sharks. If the sharks have lasers attached to their heads, then gators.
5: Ginger (but my wife has em’ both beat)
wishing you and your family the best XM.
1. A smokey (peat) Scotch whisky to compliment my Avo cigar. We got take out from a local restaurant; 50 min delay but well worth it to help them (and it was delicious).
2. Mostly dog, but I do like our cat.
3. Maize pants!
4. I’m Aquaman - SHARKS
5. Ginger - All. Day. Long
1. New Belgium Sour IPA.
2. Cat. *does Last Chance U growl*
3. I like the 2012 Sugar Bowl uniforms most of the alternates or maybe something simpler like white chinstraps or the updated away uniforms from the Narvarre era.
4. Alligators.
5. Ginger.
I'll go with gators... now if it's crocks vs sharks I'd go with sharks
now if it's gators vs water moccasins I'll go with gators
so in summary:
gator < shark < water moccasin < crock
#3 is the only interesting one to me. I will first say that the first alternate one we had was the best of our alternates.
If I were to make a new one I say put the split M on a maize helmet and wolverbear on a blue jersey like a hockey sweater. Maize pants with blue wings on the hips.
it pains me to ask, but which ones were the 'first' alternates?
computer seizure, double post. here's a puppy:
First night game vs Notre Dame is what I meant. The big block M. I guess I like the hockey sweater look.
Blood organs wheat from jacks abby
I have 3 cats they are low maintenance and endless fun.
something truly hide like those all yellow ones that ran around the internet a few years back
sharks. I’m hoping to die faster
Marianne. Ginger was good looking but I like a girls with some substance
- Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey, had burgers on the grill for dinner.
- Dogs, I have 3
- Jorts
- Since my super power is not getting eaten by alligators, I pick sharks
- Jodie Sweetin, the wild party girl version
so you are so brave that despite your invincibility vs. gators, you choose the sharks? muy macho.
and i don't even want to know who jodie sweetin is, do i?
I like to live dangerously
She played Stephanie Tanner on Full House
She went through a party girl phase after the show ended. Idk how it turned out
March 28th, 2020 at 10:21 PM ^
...and you’re a closet Florida fan with the Jorts pick.
1. Merlot and lasagna
2. Definitely dogs
3. The all blues with maize highlights.
4. Am I bleeding or not bleeding? Alligators if bleeding, sharks if not bleeding. Alligators are surface/shore hunters and don't eat that often, you can swim with them without much fear if they've eaten recently if you stay underwater. Sharks are also pretty harmless if they've already fed, but blood in the water can trigger their feeding instincts.
5. Marianne. Betty. Tina Fey. Give me the smart brunette every time, except Daphne over Thelma.
1) 2014 Faila Pinot Noir
2) Cat - super easy and manageable considering I travel four days a week
3) I’m prob in the minority, but I love Oregon’s jerseys. I’d pick them.
4) Alligators
5) I think this is a Giligans Island reference...I have no skin in this game
1 - Coke - Spaghetti with Portabella Mushrooms in the sauce
2 - Neither but the family has a dog.
3 - Death
4 - Alligators - they make nicer shoes.
5 - Ginger then Marianne then Mrs Howell
I love dogs but live a cat life style.
Many years ago, I saw a show about sharks during "Shark Week" on one of the cable channels. A guy was swimming in the water and sharks were circling him as they do, and when they got close enough to him, he would just punch them in the nose and they'd swim away. So I think I'd choose sharks. Plus, alligators have multiple weapons. I heard an alligator can kill a cow by hitting it with his tail. And gators have sharp teeth like sharks, but gators also have arms. Yes, they are tiny, but still, I would be afraid of getting a claw to an artery.
I'm finishing off that Rodney Strong Cabernet (and then some) from last night in case you couldn't tell from the above answer.

1. Medium rare flank steak, asparagus cooked on a cast iron skillet in olive oil for two minutes, then tossed in chopped almonds and parmesan. Mac and cheese. I was drinking a classic double fister of Four Roses bourbon on the rocks with a bottle of Molson.
2. Dog person. I'll tolerate a cat for their utility, but the only cat that I could ever love died around ten years ago
3. Alternate uni? Flannel
4. Gators
5. Marry Marianne, but fuck Ginger
March 28th, 2020 at 10:27 PM ^
Chopped almonds - going to add that the next time I cook asparagus. I cook them on the grill after the steak. Olive oil an parmesan are staple ingredients. Thanks!
March 28th, 2020 at 11:02 PM ^
that's a fine sounding dinner.
March 28th, 2020 at 10:50 PM ^
A. Blended scotch mixed with the last of my pineapple sherbet, next to a bonfire.
2. Both, which comes as a great surprise to me. Cats are pretty damn useful, ask anybody with a barn.
D. Not a huge departure, either something historic, like a giant block M on the front like you see on historic football sweaters, or something with flipped colors. All maize, with blue letters, like WV, and a different finish on the helmet paint.
E. Alligators, because im a superhero, so when I fight and kill the gators, I have a ton of meat and leather for belts and boots and stuff.
6. Again, both. On a personal level, however, i find the company of cute girls far more palatable than hot girls. The way I see it: cute girls can be hot, but hot girls can't be cute.
March 28th, 2020 at 11:05 PM ^
dog people here, but we have a barn. i dig our barn cat. he is hell-on-wheels.
March 28th, 2020 at 10:52 PM ^
This thread is welcome distraction.
1. I'm alternating between Gatorade and water, since I started running a fever this afternoon. If it's still there tomorrow I'm going to see about getting tested.
2. I like dogs, but my son is allergic and I prefer animals that crap in one place, so we have cats. Might get a small poodle one day.
3. I hate alternate uniforms, but if we're going to do it, I say we use full Roman armor and battle gear. Short swords included.
4. Sharks, obviously. They're smarter and will often ignore people, whereas alligators are murderous assholes.
5. Both. At the same time.
March 28th, 2020 at 11:05 PM ^
I know for allergies all pets create dander, but not all release them. Ive heard scotties are regarded as hypoallergenic by many, and have interesting, low maintenance personalities. They're also very house clean, even when they're sick they're rare to mess.
March 28th, 2020 at 11:07 PM ^
don't be sick, like, real sick.
does the roman helmet still have our wings? see here as they break the offensive huddle...

Love dogs but never had one. Cats are cool, don't cramp your lifestyle so you don't need to rush home to let them out to pee, and they live longer.
Alligators. I feel like you may have a chance they won't attack you if you are swimming and kicking
Ginger is sexy, so is Marianne in a cute way but she always seemed so wound up and high maintenance. Shit would get old. Ginger would just ball you.
1. Iced tea
Used leftover pork chops and veggies and teriyaki sauce to serve over rice
2. Cat
3. All white
4. Alligators. I'll assume it's a large body of water and once I get far enough from shore, they'll not be around.
5. Marianne. I like my pets and partners low maintenance.
1. PBR
2. dog. Cats are only good for keeping vermin at a minimum in the barn.
3. MAIZE PANTS ON THE ROAD
4. Alligator. They kill less people per year than sharks.
5. Ginger
Missed the fun. Had Anthony's Pizza with a decent Barbera.
2 year old lab who is really coming into form both in the house and in the field.
I'll take my chances with the sharks.
I hate alternate unis (or the Lions), but watching Barry in the it throwbacks was pretty great.
Mary Ann!
where are you training and hunting your lab? upland birds and/or water fowl?
Ducks and geese.
I love grouse hunting, but it's a 3 hour drive minimum and better to get all the way over the bridge. I'm not a great shot and not rich enough to justify a pro trainer along with all his live practice fowl . So ducks it is! Still lots of fun and the training is a little more straight forward. At least to my eyes.I
Cheers!
NO ALTERNATE UNIFORMS!
That is all.
(p.s.: Mary Ann)
