"he has to be at the top of the list for the Heismen w/ numbers like that.. there is no way he isint" and "ok i don't need to see anymore this kid is the real deal" and my favorite "all i know is he better get hurt before oct. 9 or we honestly don't have a chance"

This isn't a text but I'm in Athens, Ohio. I was watching the game in BW3's. Everyone there started to root against Michigan after the OSU game finished up. And these stupid girls came in right before the 95 yard TD and were cheering for ND(OSU FANS). I had my #20 jersey on and they kept looking at me and they had only watched like 1 minute of the game. So after we scored, I stood up and yelled as loud as I could "SUCK ITTTT!!!!!". They said nothing. They didn't even care about the game, but I let them know in that moment that I had won, even if they didn't care.

After ND scored on that TD to go ahead, I got a barrage of texts from a buddy who went to ND... like 6 or so, containing the lyrics to the ND Victory March.  We'd been texting back and forth all game, but I didn't respond then, or even when we went ahead.  I waited until the game ended then just texted "good game".  Didn't really think I needed to say anything else - pretty sure his head was about to explode no matter what...

Before the game my ND friend was talking a whole bunch of shit about denard. 

 

I said he was going to run circles around them and then he went on to make rude remarks and such.

 

 

He wouldn't respond after the game. After texts and texts of how they were going to dominate.

My husband, the poor bastard, was stuck in a workshop all afternoon.  He couldn't stand not knowing anything, but I didn't want to spoil his experience of watching it unfold via Tivo later

Him to me (3:52 pm):  R things going well?

Reply:  Yes.  Yes they are.

This is a great thread by the way... After clicking on it and reading the jist of it i was going to click out but then i just couldn't stop reading. Now i'm at the end so i have to go in my phone from last saturday and share....

From my wiscy friend who i convinced to bet on mich +4 in this game....

"OK Shoelace, i owe you a bill"

me - "please don't, we can't have any violations"

him - "ah, ha!, just remind me to do that before november!!"

me - "i will kill you...  twice."

 

Others...

"When did Tate grow dreads and drop his 40 time to 4.25?!?!"

My response - "Inbetween all those tanning sessions i suppose"

 

"16161616161616161616161616161616"

 

And to an old ND friend of mine whom i talk to roughly once a year...

Me "Hey, how bout them irish, too bad you're actually the Fighting French, but that would make you sound like pussies - oh wait, that'd be perfect. Hey, um, this number 16 guy is pretty good, huh?!? What, you thought that rainbow was gonna save your fairy ass?"

Friend:  "What's with all these Michigan players with dreadlocks?"

Me: "Yeah, you're right -- they all look like girls.  Now Johnny Unitas, there's a haircut you can set your watch to."
