META: Until we beat OSU and MSU...

Submitted by The Mad Hatter on

We shouldn’t be ranking any of our players.

We shouldn’t have a starting quarterback.

We shouldn’t be thinking about 2017.

We shouldn’t be talking about shutouts.

We shouldn’t be using game balls.  Or Jumpman stickers.

We really shouldn’t move on to phase 4.

We should expect nothing but pain and suffering.

We can’t talk about upgrading workout facilities.  We also are not allowed to have dick.

We can’t buy things from China.

We shouldn’t be on the cover of TV Guide.

We’re not allowed to worry about our next game.

Michael Phelps shouldn’t be considered a Michigan Man.

My daughter isn’t allowed to go to college.

I’m not allowed to wear pants or shoes.

I’m also not allowed to point out spelling errors, see a therapist, or read Campus Insiders.   

I’m not allowed to eat BBQ.  No one is allowed to make their own BBQ sauce.

Harbaugh isn’t allowed to vote in the Coaches Poll.

And we are not allowed to quote Jay-Z.

It's only fascinating if you are a lame who never did shit in college. And as far as not bringing anything, I'll wait until the actual football posts. You know, the UFR's, Space Coyote's threads, breaking down of football concepts. I'll wait until those, you see, unlike many on this board I actually played, and coached, and studied, and have watched thousands of hours of film. An actual athlete and student of the game, not a casual fan or someone who never lived an athletes lifestyle. I appreciate these things so I'll wait to contribute there, where I can. It is funny, though, that hatter and mgrowold and wd don't post at all in those threads. Some come here for social interaction (I'm not judging, ok yes I am), and some come here to get content and gain football knowledge.

My daughter is 17 (going into her senior year), so we better beat them this year.  Otherwise she's going to be waiting tables at Applebee's until next season.

Oh, and she's taking your "go big or go home" advice in regards to applying to schools.  ND, NU, and Michigan are the list as of today.

Despite my first reaction, I can appreciate what you've done here.  It's like you've intentionally brought the meme to critical mass so it will kill itself.

I like you, and almost always agree with your coherent posts. This one jumped the shark, and I can only hope this meme dies a righteous death.

But not until we beat MSU and OSU.

For this comment. You know it's over when you actually make your own thread on it.

You got your laughs out of it, but give it a good tuck in the sheets and call it a night.

Yes, I believe you have pinpointed what Hatter is goin for here.

I refer the class to Austin Powers (maybe 1st, possibly Goldmember) where he has to pretend he's one of those peeing statues in a fountain, and the gag just goes on and on...and on. It goes from hilarious, to ridiculous, to strained,,, and finally back to hilarious by sheer stupidity.

I think that's what Hatter is trying to execute here. Will Ferrell would be another who employs this frequently.

Bad news Hatter - you ain't Mike Myers or Will Ferrell!!! ;-)

I use number of good deeds done and collection of M gear to measure my own worth - but you can keep pulling your Willy out and see if anyone wants to do a measure off.

I hope you're at least pretty sure that's gonna work out for you?

But to the matter at hand, where our deal old colleague The Mad Hatter posited that he was funnier than Mike Myers or Will Ferrell, but merely not as well compensated... I'm pretty sure the list he composed in the OP speaks to that claim.
