I Know How This Ends
This season reminds me of one of those books where the author attempts to bully readers with one gruesome plot twist after another, until you give up on a happy resolution and just pray the story only gives the characters a merciful end. As is my policy with such novels, I defiantly skipped to the end of the The Rebuilding Year to see how it ends...
"After torching Michigan for a total of 387 yards -- 180 on the ground -- and scoring all four OSU touchdowns, Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor revealed to reporters that he decided to be a Buckeye months before signing day, but was urged by coaches to hold off his commitment in order to keep Michigan from pulling in a Plan B.

INJURY NOTES: Running back Sam McGuffie (arterial cruciate ligament) did not play, and is not expected back until late next season. D-lineman Brandon Graham (leg amputated) was on the sidelines in a wheelchair providing encouragement to his teammates. Strength and Conditioning coach Mike Barwis was back with the team after a four-week hiatus to attend a court-mandated sensitivity training seminar. Quarterback Steven Threet returned from a shoulder injury that sidelined him since the Toledo game, but was replaced by Nick Sheridan after two plays in which Threet was in obvious pain. Defensive backs Donovan Warren and Boubacar Cissoko did not return after a 1st quarter collision that led to Ohio State's first touchdown.
Michigan players wore maize wrist bands and dedicated the game to Shavodrick Beaver and Tate Forcier, two highly regarded Michigan commits who are suffering from nondescript upper body injuries after a tragic accident Thursday when a Beaver canoe carrying Forcier and Virginia Tech commit Kevin Newsome crash-landed on Beaver's pool deck in Wichita Falls, Texas. The Wolverines held a get-well-soon service for all three players on Thursday, similar to the service held two weeks ago for the entire offensive line, which sustained lower body injuries in a freak water balloon accident earlier this month.
Dammit! Seriously, who told Arthur Miller he could write this?!?

I don't know who you are, but the fact that you would name yourself after an essay by the Emperor Julian makes you awesome.

Apostate ftw!

I'm guessing you meant "Kevin Newsome" instead of "Terrance Newsome." I'm not sure who this "Terrance Newsome" character is.
Also, what is an "arterial cruciate ligament"? I think you created a new body part.

arterial cruciate ligament = ACL

The A is anterior. In front of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament

I stopped reading when I got to the arterial cruciate ligament.

Wow this started out funny, but seriously? Joking about a bunch of kids dying?
NOT COOL

It's clearly parody, man. I don't see anything to take offense at.
October 14th, 2008 at 3:52 PM ^
I agree. It's bad taste to talk about kids dying (seriously)
I'll make the necessary changes (but not seriously)

Hey man, sorry if i over-reacted. It was a funny read, nonetheless.
