Im a chick and i just want some guys to stop yammering and watch the friggin game!!!!!
I hate to always be standing on a soap box here but there is something that has happened at the last two games I have been at that I just have to vent about.
At the Purdue game, these two drunk idiots seat jumped to sit behind me, then they proceeded to loudly blab on and on about everything that came into their heads, with no internal filter. they had contests to see who could garner the most high fives from passerbys. they ripped the coach and the players, said Tate sucked and cursed like crazy in the presence of children and elderly. Continually bragged at having smoked pot with a particular player.
They were a coupla fat a**es who probably never played a game of football in their lives.
I wanted to sarcastically yell at them
"I remember my first beer" Sometimes you should just stop flapping your trap like a cast member of The Hills (God, I hate reality T.v.) and just be quiet and let us enjoy the game. it was very distracting! there i feel much better. Its just that the lack of seeing Minor rage in the Osu game had me curled up in the corner rocking and sucking my thumb. Withdrawal has made me quite cranky

Amen sister!
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:58 PM ^
A woman who reads MGoBlog and hates reality TV? I didn't know there was such a thing. I wish all women were this smart.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:27 PM ^
There are some of us out there. Not many, but we do exist. You can have hope!
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:04 PM ^
I was going to chime in, but then I remembered I like Project Runway. So maybe I don't count.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:17 PM ^
I read MGoBlog while watching Project Runway.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:13 PM ^
I thought we were discussing poultry.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:01 PM ^
"...no internal filter"
Oh, the ironing.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:06 PM ^
women are not allowed in the man-cave.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:19 PM ^
there's a jerk-off station for crying out loud.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:08 PM ^
What happened in game 2?
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:57 PM ^
just felt the post was pretty lengthy already, but there was a mich. professor behind us. He was the biggest asshole ive ever had to be within earshot of. He was making snide remarks about women and gay people and wanting to beat the shit out of the male baton twirler and blah blah blah.... i think he was just in love with the sound of his own voice. I couldnt believe he was a professor! So unprofessional!
November 24th, 2009 at 12:24 AM ^
A conservative professor at U-M?
You lie!
November 25th, 2009 at 4:47 PM ^
I thought Ann Arbor was supposed to be the Berkly of the East?
November 24th, 2009 at 12:38 AM ^
Was this at UM-Flint?
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:20 PM ^
for referencing "The Hills."
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:15 PM ^
I love the fact that I can check the validity of this statement. You really did -1 her for mentioning The Hills. +1 to you for being honest.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:58 PM ^
I was slamming the hills, i hate that shit
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:40 PM ^
for referencing "The Hills."
November 24th, 2009 at 12:46 AM ^
How YOU doin' ;)?
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 PM ^
At the Western game my husband and I were discussing various play calls and I made an observation about the use of the pistol formation by Western's offense. The guy behind me obviously heard me becuase when his buddy came back to sit down the guy repeated what I had said to his buddy. Needless to say he was incapable of saying anything original.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:59 PM ^
thats pretty funny!
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 PM ^
A Michigan fan who refers to herself as a chick...definitely not in the RC.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:29 PM ^
I can tell just from her small picture that she doesn't have enough body hair to be a female in the RC.......
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:27 PM ^
A girl? On a college football blog? My head asplodes.
November 24th, 2009 at 12:04 AM ^
Boom.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:28 PM ^
This is the wrong week for me to get uppity about swearing at the stadium.
About 4 seconds after Tate threw the INT in the end-zone, I yelled out a very audible "FUCK!!!"
To my credit, there were no children around. But I should get no credit, because I didn't look to see if there were children around until after yelling it.
I got a stern look from the ushers. But that was all.
I think they realized, as I did, that if there was ever a truly appropriate time to yell "FUCK!" really loudly, that was it.
If a child was in earshot, I hope he learned that yelling "FUCK!" is reserved only for moments when you think you all-of-a-sudden have a chance to beat Ohio State for like the 2nd time all decade, and your freshman quarterback throws an interception in the end zone.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:10 PM ^
And I really dislike it when people drop f-bombs in public with my kids close by, but I've got to agree, every so often, there's really nothing else to say.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:44 PM ^
Was once asked by a reporter about his use of profanity. Coleman Young, who was no one's village idiot, (he made a mockery of Senator Joseph McCarthy during the anti-Communist hearings, launching his own star, and starting the Senator's rapid decline) remarked that he did not cuss indiscriminately. When a particular situation required the word, "bullshit", he said, then use it.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:41 PM ^
I remember being at a game back in the day (okay, so I wasn't that young, I just looked it up) and having someone behind us shout gleefully about how bad James "Shit-ley" was playing. I would say it didn't scar me for life, but then again, I spend an awfully large chunk of my free time posting on MGoBoard, so maybe I didn't escape unscathed?
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:03 PM ^
like bullshit!!!! at the lack of calls. like the obvious facemask i saw and the ref didnt. but sometimes people use a curse as everyother word, it was just excessive
November 24th, 2009 at 9:46 AM ^
I watched the game again on DVR. They got the call right. I thought it was a facemask too, by the way Tate went down. Really, the guy had his hand on the back of Tate's neck, to start with, and then the hand slid down the side of the helmet as they were going down.
But yeah, live it looked really really obvious. On the re-watch, I wasn't so sure.
November 25th, 2009 at 11:25 AM ^
Tate's fumble in the endzone was actually recovered on the 1/2 yard line and you can take that to the bank.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:05 AM ^
I screamed "fuck" from my couch on that same play... with my kids in the room. I figure it's educational... they are going to hear curse words for the entirety of their lives... might as well learn the proper occasion to use them.
November 26th, 2009 at 9:10 PM ^
Evidently my windows were open when the storm of cursing came out. And evidently middle aged women with young children don't like to hear their neighbors use such language. I swear its the damn South.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:35 PM ^
WAIT ARE YOU A FEMALE? WITH BOSOMS? I WILL NOW FAWN OVER YOU IN THE ABSURD AND VEIN HOPE THAT YOU MIGHT BE ATTRACTED BY SUCH BEHAVIOR AND PERHAPS ALLOW ME TO SEE, OR BETTER YET TOUCH, SAID BOSOMS.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:03 PM ^
Classy, I bet that charm makes you popular with the ladies.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:13 PM ^
Great post Brodie
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:26 PM ^
so tell me, was the misspelling of "vein" on purpose, or just a misspelling?
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:36 PM ^
I appreciate your position, but, unfortunately you'll have that behavior. Having said that, the ushers could certainly have done something about the vulgarity (especially if there's small children around).
We all assume a certain level of responsibility when doing anything in public, so...., you have to assume some yourself. In an atmosphere such as this, you have to accept certain unwanted behaviors. The language was a problem in our section as well. One descrete convo with an usher and the problem was not only solved, it was monitored for the remainder of the game.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:40 PM ^
NEWSFLASH (because I'm the only one who will say it): Being a female doesn't exempt you from being a n00b.
And guess what? You really don't have to bring it up unless it's somehow relevant to the point you're trying to make. I'm tired of every month or so a new "chick" shows up, posts about being a "chick," everyone goes OMG A CHICK and then by the next week NO ONE CARES because they have nothing of substance to say. I'm not accusing you of this, just advising you not to take that path.
And everyone else: Admit it, if the subject didn't start with "im a chick and," the response would be much different.
Just my epinion.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:53 PM ^
Frankly, I suspect it's a guy pretending to be a woman. But I'm cynical that way.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:00 PM ^
She's not pretending, I was at the game with her.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:01 PM ^
In all fairness, when I first got here I pretended to be a guy.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:09 PM ^
I can never remember if your tagline is referring to you or not, but it reminds me of a conversation that I had with one of my best friends from college, who happened to be a lesbian:
CASE: Something something college football something something.
FRIEND: Uh, how come I never knew you were into football?
CASE: I would have said something, but no one at [STUCK-UP EAST COAST ALMA MATER] is into football so I figured you weren't either.
FRIEND: [pause] Case, I'm a lesbian.
CASE: I know, but I didn't want to make a stupid assumption!
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:18 PM ^
Haha, nice. It is referring to me, but I'm actually bisexual. [Insert male fantasy here]
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:21 PM ^
Giggity giggity, giggity goo.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
I try to keep a clear distinction between MGoBlog and Porn. You aren't helping.
November 24th, 2009 at 9:56 AM ^
Wait, so you haven't seen the MGoPorn?! It's all I have in these dark times
November 25th, 2009 at 4:36 PM ^
This post makes you lose your ability be critical of anyone posting to gain attention.
November 24th, 2009 at 12:32 AM ^
It prob had to take a woman to say it, but honestly if you want to talk about girls and get comments on your thread, go to a dating service website.
The biggest stigma on a website like this dominated by the male gender is the inclusion of the female gender. Let's try to get over that hump like we have "FIRE RR!!" and "DENARD IS FAST!!" and "13-0 NATIONAL CHAMPS 2010!!"
