I'm watching the game doubly behind enemy lines. My dad is a Penn State alum and I'll be watching with him... in Ohio. I look forward to comparing every completed pass to Henne to Manningham.
I used to entertain myself at Michigan baseball games (strictly between innings of course) by referring to Derek VanBuskirk as Der-truck Van-Bus-car-k. He has the perfect name for syllable/vehicle substitution.
Would it not matter to you if Desmond was mysteriously and erroneously whistled down on the one and didn't get the great moment of striking the Heisman pose?
Hell I'm a diehard Indians fan (read: frequently depressed) and that call ruined my night.
I spent last spring break in the fishbowl writing my senior thesis. If you're looking for a rocking good time and tremendous computer availability (both Mac and PC!) I highly recommend it.
The fans around me were just fine and even had feelings I could genuinely relate to (for example, "CATCH THE DAMN BALL RAY SMALL!!!"), howeva, my friend was sitting a few rows behind the wheelchair accessible area. There was a tOSU in the row in front the wheelchair accessible row standing on top of the bench blocking the view of a Michigan fan in a wheelchair. The M fan tapped on the shoulder and asked the tOSU fan to please stand on the concrete like everyone else. The fan stepped down, turned to his friend and said something, stood back up on the bench, turned around, leaned over the railing into the face of the M fan, and screamed, "O-H." He stood on the bench for the remainder of the game.
Not that I at all question the return of RR for next year or 2011 because, like, duh, but can we officially not trust ESPN? I seem to recall a "Les Miles confirmed as next head coach at Michigan" report...
by not addressing it. There's some fancy hand-waving without showing us the analysis. I mean sure if you assume there is a constant multiplier for the probability of scoring from each field position because they're the Colts and not the Rams, of course its not going to do anything (for example, the Colts are 125% as likely to score as the average team regardless of field position). It probably even makes the decision better. But I think the closer you are to the endzone, the more you have to consider the quality of the offense which tosses a "team multiplier" out the window. I'm not saying that it changes the outcome, I'd just like to their particular reason for dismissing it.
I think these are a bit misleading. Assuming I didn't miss something here, its a 79% win probability against an average team. Pey Pey, Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark are not average. You have to figure this increases the average WP of starting from your own 34 above 70% and increases the WP of starting at the Pats 28 above 53% (and thus decreasing the 79% WP). This isn't to say that punting will necessarily be the mathematical choice, but I think using average offensive statistics here doesn't quite tell the whole story.
I agree, but there are also degrees of tongue slippage. In seventh grade I referred to the Punic Wars as the Pubic Wars. "Everyone does -- kills people, murders people..." is a whole different ball game.
Ha well I wouldn't go so far as to say offended, I just would like to be dissociated from a particular baseball team referenced in your post and also from the abomination that is SportsNation...
And when they beat us on college Family Fued. But I suppose even Patricia Heaton could win Family Fued as long as the rest of her team couldn't do arithmetic.
My friend tried to charge "a jackass with a mask on" during the 05 snowball fight. My friend got his ass kicked. The mask fell off revealing none other than Mike Hart.
The fact that you can name two rivals (without mentioning the Bears) makes the Carr sweatervest comparison inappropriate. Sparty is not so much a rival as an annoyance who squeaks out a win every ten years leaving me with only one opponent upon which to focus my laser beam of hate.
I don't particularly wish ill on him, but I don't mind seeing it happen. If he's hurt and Michigan players don't get to beat up on, just as well. After his "family values" comments and subsequent fights and hitting people after the play during Ohio State (we talkin' bout) practice, he doesn't deserve to be on the field. I hope he enjoys his future used car dealership.

East Dillon would win the Big East with Vince Howard taking home player of the year.
No Slippery Rock? That's some bullshit.

It would be hell for people who mumble rather than annunciate. Like me.
