1 week 6 days ago Ironman by Black Sabbath

Ironman by Black Sabbath works for the same reason Babo O'Reily works - great intro that everyone knows.  Plus, Ironman at least sounds tough.  Other ideas:

Bombs Over Baghdad is a better Outkast option

Gimme Some Lovin - Spencer Davis Group

and to hit the 80's rap - It's Tricky by Run DMC

 

 

 
10 weeks 1 day ago As an Ohio University grad

As an Ohio University grad and former employee I can explain the OHIO thing.  Here it goes:

It is branding.  In 2004 or 2005 OU (as everyone in the state of Ohio calls them) hired a new president and as new presidents usually do he had a "rebranding effort."  Gone was any reference to "OU."  Instead, the university was to be referred to as OHIO in all caps, all the time (kind of like THE in front of OSU).  This was coupled with a push to greatly increase external research funding, something a primarily undergraduate university had no business doing.  They failed to greatly increase the external research funding, but the OHIO thing stuck...kinda.  

If you went to school there or partied there or had friends there it was and is OU.  
29 weeks 2 days ago agreed

I'm not sure how we stack up against the best b10 teams, but at least we are winning the games we are supposed to win: Purdue, NW, Minny.  Toss Iowa and Illinois into that mix and this season doesn't look that differen then any of the late Carr era records (2006 excluded).  That is major progress over the last three years.  Even last year's team struggled against crap: Indiana, UMass, etc.
31 weeks 2 days ago they are legit

I hate that we have to look back beyond the recent past to show that MSU isn't legit.  The fact is they beat us the last 4 years and OSU has beaten the last I don't know how many times.  MSU is good right now.  It pains me to read the Little Brother comments or the comments about "we're recruiting now and normalcy will return in a year or two."  F that.  It is always next year for us.  No one ever considers the fact that Dantonio has changed MSU.  I think he has.  He may be an ass but he's a good coach and he makes damn sure his guys are ready to play us.  They get up for us, even if it means sacrificing the next game.  I wish we had that intensity.
34 weeks 11 hours ago steel horses!

"Riding steel horses through a post-apocalyptic future like it is not even a thing"  - AWESOME and I vote that it should replace "save us the hymnals, cooler poopers" as the blog's tag line.
41 weeks 1 day ago THANK YOU!

I just wanted to say thank you for posting that about the workaround w/ att and ESPN3.  I have time warner road runner for internet and was getting the stiff arm about not having their video service to use ESPN3.  I used your suggestiona and Bingo!  ESPN3 is working.  That was the last piece to the puzzle after cutting off Directv. I was very worried that I was going to miss games that I couldn't get OTA (I live in North Carolina).  I haven't found your suggestion anywhere else, so thanks again.

 
43 weeks 15 hours ago Brian was right

Awhile back Brian said something like, "Michigan's fans would eat themselves and the program if they could."  Judging by the back and forth over the last few days on the board I have to agree with that sentiment.  
1 year 7 weeks ago Magnus, just get it over with

Magnus, just get it over with already and have a Diary about Cox, similar to the one you had a few years ago where you argued for Minor to get more playing time.  You want it, I want it, the American people want it.  
1 year 8 weeks ago Actually, I think he could be

Actually, I think he could be special as a third down back.  He seems to have good hands and he is so small that he could sneak out of the backfield and into the flat/wheel route.  He is ideally suited for that and Borges probably knows that too.
1 year 8 weeks ago I like the black background

I like the black background and I like how you pick a RB and argue with everyone else that he should start.  

In my dream world - UM has a great season and Vincent Smith and Magnus hug it out.
