See, the Oregon football players really are just like regular students. They're not attending any classes either.

I did my MA at Oregon State and my Ph.D. at Washington and both are also on the quarter system. It took some getting used to the late fall start and 10-week quarters instead of 13 or 15 week semesters.

No commercials for me, I'll catch up to everyone in a couple hours.

that's how long it took for the ESPN lawyers to draft a statement and hold a gun just off camera. It was like watching a hostage video.
If he wanted to go out with a bang, he could have said
"I'm supposed to read a corporate statement apologizing, because somebody think of the children, but you know what? We're too sensitive in America to have fun anymore. So you know what I think of this prepared statement?"
"FUCK IT."

Blame that idiot mom or dad who would've complained and sued them because their child is now scarred for life over watching it even though the kid wouldn't even actually heard/understood it like the parents may have after watching it over and over on their DVR.
It's our fault.
When I take over the world, that person would've been locked in a room and forced to watch that clip until his/her dying day. That lady that sued McDonald's because her coffee was too hot and it burned her tounge? In my world she gets dropped in a huge vat of scalding coffee.
Moral of the story, don't be an asshole. Unless it's on MGoBlog, then it's accepted.

Generally agree with you, especially when it comes to a simple curse word, but you may be a bit off on the McDonald's hot coffee thing. I believe, at the time, McDonalds was serving their coffee way hotter than is required, or the industry standard, to cover up for the horrible taste. Like if it was served at a 'normal' temp for coffee, the lady would have gotten wet, not burned. They even circulated an internal memo instructing stores to serve it way hotter. And it didn't burn her tounge, it got dropped on her lap and actually burned her because of some other things like ill fitting tops, poor drive through window set-up, etc, on top of the unneccisarily hot coffee. So basically McDonald's tried to nickel and dime and cut corners to turn a bigger profit which resulted in someone getting injured. Which is why they lost the lawsuit.
September 6th, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
In my world that lady is not longer in the vat, now she must survive on horrible coffee for the remainder of her life. Nothing else. Just nasty ass coffee. She knew that coffee was horrible before she paid her $2 for it. Don't buy horrible coffee and you don't have to deal with McDonald's trying to cover it up by making it scalding hot.
Boom.
September 6th, 2014 at 10:46 AM ^
...you win this round...
September 6th, 2014 at 10:42 AM ^
in fairness, that McDonald's story took on a life and narrative of its own that had little to no resemblance to reality. McD had already had multiple incidents and warnings about the coffee, the lady in question had 3rd degree burns and required multiple surgeries for skin grafts to be applied all over her lap, and the amount she ended up with after appeals was basically just enough to cover the medical and legal bills.
But other than that, yeah, dumb parents. I get restricting graphic violence, but I heard the word fuck and saw the occasional (but too infrequent) pair of naked tits on Cinemax as a child, and I daresay it didn't traumatize me. In fact, those were some of my finer memories of youth... :)
September 6th, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
...but I understand.
September 6th, 2014 at 11:15 AM ^
Parents need to stop looking to blame others for their own shortcomings as a parent. Kid hears a swear word and starts repeating it too much? Explain what it means and why its not always OK to say. Kid sees some tittes on Cinemax? Explain why that programming exists and maybe why its OK to be naked sometimes (if you are a more progressive parent...).
Kid starts to root for Notre Dame? Put them up for adoption, there is no saving them...

But as a Michigan Fan First, Big 10 fan second, I'm hoping that MSU wins. It's a big game for the Big 10.

who is an Oregon fan, but they became an elite program because they found a once in a generation coach. No amount of money can guarantee you year-in, year-out top 5 caliber teams.
And when they ride out the leftover Chip Kelly string, they'll go back to being good-not-great, and eventually back to mediocre.

wasn't funneling money to street agents for recruits.
Having a kid that had been dead for a year on the recruiting pamphlet that Lyles sent Oregon is pretty damning.

Suddenly Rutgers mildly impressive win in Seattle doesn't look impressive at all as Nevada beat WSU 24-13 last night. BIG TEENNNNNN
September 6th, 2014 at 9:50 AM ^
Got me sweating today. I was impressed with them and took them in my pick 'em leage. Please don't fall on your face Rutgers.

MSU-Oregon, M-ND, BYU-Texas, and VT-OSU all kickoff between 630 and 8. The only good game outside of that is USC-Stanford is at 3:30

about their weak scheduling today---I'm more than A LITTLE SHOCKED that he would do so. He called today's SEC schedule "Cupcake Saturday" and commended Georgia for not participating in what he called the worst slate of games he's ever seen scheduled by that conference.
September 6th, 2014 at 9:54 AM ^
Just curious - would you like to play a game like USC-Stanford in week 2 in conference? I know the SEC has done this for a long time so they can put baby seals late in the schedule but I don't recall the Pac 12 doing it, but I could have just missed it. This would be akin to playing MSU in week 2.
September 6th, 2014 at 10:00 AM ^
when you play a 9 game conference schedule.

I just hope I get to watch our game tonight at this point - we've been out of power since about 8 PM last night, and being at work right now, it's the only way I am getting some football coverage. I'll probably get to watch some of the noon and 3:30 PM stuff here, but then I get to go home - power or not - and wait to see if maybe I can watch ours.

be the day to go buy a portable generator? No way I'd want to be in position to miss a Michigan Football game, especially one this big!
Meanwhile, Gameday just went to a commercial break and gave a "teaser" on what's up after the break. They're about to cover the Stephen Loscewski story.
September 6th, 2014 at 10:52 AM ^
I thought I missed it, but they're still advertising it as upcoming!
