Urban Meyer Puppet OC sets new standard for Ohio Classlessness

Submitted by stephenrjking on

OSU OC RT @marcushartman (Ed) Warinner on lost playbooks in Michigan: "I heard Brady was upset because he hadn't finished coloring them."

Can't remember offhand a college football staff member ever taking such a cheap shot before. Maybe Spurrier at some point, or perhaps Bielema (or Mrs. Bielema). But nothing comes to mind.

How many days until The Game?

I'm glad he said it for two reasons:

  1. That "coloring book" absolutely shredded the Ohio defense last year.
  2. Thanks for the locker room material.

I do think it's a bit classless, but that's part of what makes this rivalry so great: OSU fans are often the opposite of our well-groomed faithful.

If your players and coaches need locker room material for game of this magnitude then they should probably quit football.  Gosh that is one of the dumbest and overstated comments by people (not just you personally) on the internet. What's Hoke gonna do, print the tweet and place it in the lockers and on the white board?

I'm glad they still think enough of us to make fun of our HC.  I saw Dan Hollis speak at a function in E Lansing a few years ago.  There were four (4) remarks that directly referenced Michigan.  This was after MSU had beaten us for the 4th straight in football.  Even when we suck, we're in MSU/OSU's head.  

Meanwhile, the Figthins want to pretend we don't exist.

Well, one of us is about to enter a life of luxury supported by a Kickstarter trust fund suggested by the other. The minute we hit the kickstart reach goal I'll gift CLord the toughness prize in perpetuity. 

You can get a "Tough Guy Honorable Mention" certificate for a modest $50 contribution. "Grizzled Internet Cynic" certificates are a more generous $100.

Gawd, I can't believe it took this long in the thread for someone to mention this.

Anyone who laughed at that and gets righteously ANGAR over the Ohio guy needs a slight re-examination.  I mean, the coloring book joke is funny.  First time I heard it I laughed so hard I fell off my woolly mammoth.

I was like, "Yeah, knowing Tom, he'd probably think that was hilarious."

Then I realized he meant Brady Hoke, and I had to rethink for another minute.

Then I was like, "Yeah, knowing Brady, he'd probably think that was hilarious."

Why in 2014 does everyone get so butt hurt? OMG a jab from our most hated rival. Shocking. Oh and I am sure Brady is crying himself to sleep while holding his crayons.

Here's the other one that was tweeted out from that event...

I just find it pretty funny myself. You know it isn't a crime to laugh at a joke even when it's directed at you (or your favorite team). If one of our coaches or friends or whatever said something as funny about another teams coach we would all be laughing too. Honestly...I just don't know why people can't seem to grow some thicker skin. Laugh it off and move one, while hoping it provides some extra motivation to kick OSU's stinking asses.

His comment is a much greater insult to Luke Fickell and Kerry Combs than it is to Brady Hoke.

I don't want to know how many days until the Ohio game because I feel that the buckeyes are going to smack Michigan.

Yeah yeah yeah, bring on the down votes. Sorry, but that is just my opinion. There is no way Braxton will lose his final game in Columbus.

It's just that place. We haven't won in Columbus in about 357 years, so I don't expect that to end any time soon. The best I can hope for anymore with this rivalry is just winning most home games and plucking a win in Columbus here and there.

So now were reduced to being all butt-hurt over something mean the OSU OC said about our HC? Seriously?
I'm sorry but boo-fucking-hoo.
If we hadn't gotten our asses kicked by them for some ridiculous length of time then they wouldn't be saying anything. The only reason they are is because we have royally SUCKED at beating them for the past 13 years or so.

The only logical response now is to send Fickell a coloring book with the cover replaced that says Michigan Playbook.  Include a box of crayons and a friendly note that says "Just trying to help, GO BLUE!"
