Good one:

"Muhammad Ali Abdur-Rahkman, a man so allergic to turnovers that he explodes if he enters a bakery."

 
But he did tell us

what was a-happenin'

The difference is palpable

But not particularly measurable.

It is truly heartwarming to see our basketball and hockey teams out-work and out-hustle the opps. This is partially a function of conditioning.

Damn, our "boys of winter" sure work hard!

In hockey, it is whole-body excruciatingly painful to keep working at the end of a shift, yet Pearson's guys just push through it. And I guaran-fuckin-tee it: you'll NEVER see any of Beilein's boys "dog it."

***Snark alert!!*** - unlike those Seminole quitters. 

 

Dang, I can almost feel the "negs" already: if only St. Jim could get his boys to play this hard...

Palm Sunday muses

My church here in E TN is chock full of Sparty fans. I wonder if I'll mention that the Ramblers (cool building Loyola has there in Southfield) have more NCAA wins in the last 2 WEEKS than Fizzo has in the last 3 YEARS. So far this year I've just contented myself with telling some of the Sparty fans that they simply need better guard play to win in the bigtime.

HELP!! What do I say to all the damn Ohioans?

But my very best friends there are Chicagoans. What do I tell them? That Loyola should be in the Big Ten?

It looks like we have an object lesson here on the value of playing HARD. There must be a sermon in there somewhere.

heh

Who has it better than us?!?!?

Maybe we can be ahead 24-12 at the first media TO next Saturday?

I like the

 

"Beilien Certainty Principle."

SCIENCE!

Always cool

to beat Sparty.

Fun to watch Izzo implode.

Great comment

by our coach when asked about Mo in the postgame interview:

"He makes some of the stupidest fouls ever...puts them in the bonus early. I need to figure out some way in German to communicate with him. But don't get me wrong - I love the guy." 

All said while grinning.

 

***Probably not a correct direct quote***

 

ESPN did a split-screen

in the 1st half

with Lunardi blathering on & on & on about...

specifically, who the hell knows?

I had a Dakich-induced mute going on.

 

Fun game to watch even w/o sound!!

Only those %^#*$@ Big Ten refs

kept the fuckeyes in the game.

Should have been a 25+ pt blowout.

But wasn't it fun to see Moe all fired up like that?

 

Unfortunately, the concept of

"we're all adults here"

doesn't truly work in online environments.

"and now...

...we're headed into more."

 

Beilien sure keeps this customer satisfied!

Dang!

I guess I have been inaffectual for years.

***************

Nonetheless, I am certain that having Grant back on our OL will truly be a game-affecter.

heh

Ahem -

It was CLEARLY a moving screen that got that MD guy the open top-of-the-key three at the (almost) end of the game.

 

Also - how is it even possible that after a couple thousand replays of the Hill/Laetner (sp??) miracle that a decent Big Ten coach would NOT know to cover the in-bounder?

I am, AHEM, over 60

(Class of '78)

My Dad assembled my bro (class of '74)

and me a dresser when I wasn't even a teenager yet -

and I'm using it to this very day!!

What's a cam screw?

(Sounds a bit kinky...)

Texas looking like a crap team

but Baylor's uni's look even worse

Perhaps we're all time traveling

as if we're in a Vonnegut novel -

I'm hoping RichRod can get the team up for MSU.

Why not

the TwilightZone?

heh

Is there

a missing "/s" there, my friend?

One of the best films ever

The first time I ever saw it was in E Quad with the RA for 4th Floor Hinsdale.

 

Nik was the best

What happened to him in the NBA?

Also learned that Bo

had a great RB named Rob Little.

 

Thanks, FUX

While "chemping" is definitely

not a word - what about "chimping"  or "chumping?"

 

I believe chumping refers to the style of certain former NFD coaches.

Chimping might be about a movie series.

 

Chemping is actually close to being about a Marx Brother.

Always best

not to play on Yom Kippur anyway.

"Michigan Monday"

will be a fun read this week.

It just plain doesn't feel right

to see Navarre ranked higher than Brady

I never repress things

but, oddly enough - some seasons are shorter than others.

Only baseball is left to watch now

And try as I might - I just cannot stay awake for even a few innings.

I'll always love the game and the Tigers are still right up there with my other all-time favorites (guess what other teams are up there?)

Just please don't make me watch MLB before September!

Can we get off the 8/9 seed line?

My completely unsubstantiated opinion is that a BTT Finals appearance would be necessary. Just beating the Spoilerschnooks wouldn't quite be enough.

Pardon me

but didn't Sparty go 3-9 last year? Wouldn't they fit your as long as it falls between weeks 3 and 9 parameter?

 

Oh, now I see what you did there!

 

"Tom & Jerry"

got nothin' on "Tom & Pete"

Hmmm

I wonder what Pete thought?

Much more critical:

Who plays his wife?

To the best of my recollection

that is correct. Sparty did indeed go 3-9, while NFD went 4-8.

Please excuse an old infidel like me

but what in tarnation is "BTB?"

Surely (but please don't call me Shirley) it's not "Business To Business."

"Captain Philips"

***Najee*** was the name of one of the pirates in that film.

I doubt if that means much of anything.

24-12 Meechigan

My all-time favorite score

This bowl season just keeps getting worse

There I was, peacefully minding my own business & happily anticipating the first "real'/Top 15 matchup this month.Then I had to cringe inwardly as I was finishing the dishes in the kitchen & heard the dulcet tones of Mack Brown!!

 

He's not going to do the Orange Bowl, is he? PLEASE - someday tell me it ain't so.

Hawkins

That QB in Hawkin's video looks pretty good, too. Anyway know anything about him? What's his name, for instance.

Oddysey

Has there been a study similar to Brymer's regarding the question of refs often getting intimidated by the home crowd & thus not throwing flags against the hometeam?

 

I'd certainly be interested in the results of THAT investigation.

15 yards for excessive use of commas!

But yes - it IS great to be a Meechigan Wolverine

And yes - Jimmy & what he brings to the table are indeed exciting

and yes - you get an upvote!

 

Meyer and his band of crooks better watch out in next year's Game, and I'm sure they're having nightmares already about '18 & '19 and beyond.

Even though we always found ways to lose the Rose Bowl

I'd truly enjoy seeing those Pasadena mountains at sunset again. Starting to get un-hungover & looking forward to watching yet another major bowl game - what could be better? Either U$C or Washington or even Colorado would be fine opps, although tradition-wise I ofc would rather play the Trojans.

Hopefully the refs will be required to only award TDs if the ball actually gets into the end zone.

We know all of the arguments.

Now -  who do we contact, and how do we do so?

Am watching carefully selected previous Games

I just saw the 1995 Game - too bad Timmy B wasn't that good

Great day indeed

The only way it could have been better would be if Notre F***ing Dame had lost.

Woody

According to Wikipedia, after The Game in 1968 Woody DID say "because I couldn't go for 3."

Howevah, the 2 pt try DID fail.

 

24-12 Meechigan

I don't always guess, but when I do I choose that score.

That "dang" Irish team

Notre Dame is known in my household (and even in my Mom & Dad's!!) as Notre F***ing Dame.

 

I remember Ufer going on & on about how sweet it will be to beat ND again - right in the middle of calling The Game.

 

I didn't notice Kelly having apoplexy/turning bright red in the face last night, though. Was I just not watching closely enough?

Wowie Zowie

That's what champions do - turn a good break into a winning rally.

 

But I can't help but wonder: is the lack of singing Muppets for our super-duper women a Title lX violation?

I'd make a brilliant post, but

I'd probably get penalized

This thread being randomly serpentine, I'll

go ahead and ask this here:

 

if we win out, do we get a "New Year's Six" bowl?
