Open Thread: The Horror vs. Fort Sumter

Submitted by Toby Flenderson on December 23rd, 2017 at 6:53 PM

We get to see the teams of the two most embarrassing Michigan losses face each other off tonight.

Will it be lit?

underdog. They achieved local superiority, but overall they were outmatched. Hubris and folly lead Custer to the disaster. A prepared general does not get slaughtered. Plus. I am comparing that to Appy State.

I just wish you people would start being sensitive to the Native Americans and call it the Battle of the Greasy Grass like it should be.

People can call it what they want. Either way it was a battle. Do you call Bull Run or Manassas as Southerners do?

Yeah, this game combines the worst of the Rich Rod Era AND the Carr Decline Years. Awful stuff. But I'm watching it.

I don’t know how to make a post, but Derrick Walton had 7 points and 5 assists last night in his first extended NBA action (24 minutes)!

The Horror was the first game my wife and step-daughter ever attended. Thankfully they're wonderful human beings and decided to become fans anyway.

It's because they knew losing to App State was the end for Carr and things were going to get better eventually.

Lmao. A decade later and we are still trying to get back to that point. We may be there now, but crucifying Carr wasn’t the appropriate action.

Remember when the complaint around here was that you couldn’t spell Carr’s first name without 4 “L”’s?

Lloyd was most likely going to retire at the end of 2007, regardless. Losing to Appalachian State was not an essential step.

Horror. I didn’t watch it live either. I was on the lake because I figured we’d kill them. I’ll never forget getting updates from people. Couldn’t fucking believe it.

to make this game sound interesting before it started... and I fell asleep on the couch so fast. Then, a nightmare, ESPN was continually fawning over Dabo Sweeney, only punctuated by the occaisonal fawning over Alabama... oh that wasn't a nightmare I was awake then... just in time to see the Ravens pull out the win over the Colts.

And to all a good night
