Evening Game Thread - Beverages and Bashings (of one rival)

Submitted by xtramelanin on October 5th, 2019 at 7:10 PM

Mates,

A couple of games worth watching -  ohio v. sparty is a big one.  Cal v. Oregon could be good and the SDSU game might be interesting.  Hoping Northwestern prevails over Nebraska, and the Huskers lost Martinez, so that adds to the drama.  Go cats.

Glad we won, even if the offense was (insert term of disappointment), we beat a well coached ranked team.  Enjoy your evening, what's on your BBQ, what's in your cup, and what games are you watching?

I always watch Cal. ‘Specially now that they got former M dudes. Have to pull Sparty but not going to strain anything doing so, nah’ mean? 

Sierra Nevada/Bitburger Marzen going here.

actually Shea doesn't. at all. NFL scouts specifically knocked him after last year saying he had questionable arm strength and read somewhere (can't remember) a guy w/ first hand account of Shea this summer at a camp getting in a who can throw it the farthest contest and he threw it twice in the mid 50's and everyone else was at least 65yards. He doesn't have great arm strength or good for that matter

walk on safety, pressed into duty as a kicker for nebraska.  barely made the kick, but he made it.

came off of an interception where the NW receiver was wrecked with interference but no call.  tough way to lose.

Wide receivers have been taking more and more abuse over the last 15 years.  Army and Wisconsin were grabbing Michigan's receivers and Michigan does the same back.  I don't get it.  It used to be that if you saw the uniform get stretched there was an immediate flag for holding.

I agree. I am glad we won but man was it unsatisfying. But it'll be interesting to see what Iowa does next week, hosting Penn state who will likely be top ten ranked. 

I'm hoping Spartans win simply because we will need chaos to reach big ten championship.

I predict OSU will roll tonight.  And that makes me concerned that many of you will become more suicidal than usual when the bucks start clicking early.  

Obviously, fuck Dantonio, though.

i think technically it is better for us if sparty wins. but them being paved over in columbus will be about as satisfying.  that said, give dinnonio credit, sometimes he can surprise  you.  probably won't happen tonight, but that is why they play the games.

I second Yeoman's appraisal. While most of the M universe probably interacts with their fans one game a year, when you live in ohio their fanbase's insufferability is a yearlong reality. If a spontaneous black hole opened above their school and devoured everything about it including the very idea of osu, that, to me, would be good.

Drinking Crown Royals and eating pizza at the Pizza House in East Landfill. Rooting for Sparty tonight against the evil empire.
