ASU vs scUM

[cdt]

Went to Crocker Park last night for dinner and I drop my wife off in front of Blake's. Then I roll up to the valet a few doors down and there is a sick black Bentley with Michigan plates that everyone is looking at and kids were taking pics of with their phones. I walk into Blakes and my wife is sitting at the bar outside. She tells me that a black guy sitting at the table behind her just paid for the 2 drinks she ordered. I turn around it's Braylon and a couple of his boys plowing through some margaritas and lobster tails. He's like "sorry yo, didn't know she was with anyone". I laugh and say "no worries, thanks for the drinks." We sit there for another hour and the wife is getting cold because she is wearing a tanktop. She runs over to buy a longsleeve shirt at Indigo Nation and comes back 20 minutes later. At this point Braylon and his homies are at the bar burying more margaritas. I'm on the other side of the bar talking to a couple I know. She walks back in and she's ordering another drink. Braylon turns around and says "hi, I'm Braylon, I'll get that drink." I'm walking back up and she laughs and says to him "again? Thanks! Does my husband get another one too?" His boys are laughing at him and one of them says "B, it's the same chick...different shirt." He's laughing and says "sorry man I just accidently hit on your girl again...tell her to quit changing outfits." I say "no problem...you're having a pretty rough day, huh?" He rolls his eyes and says "Aint that the mutherf---in truth."

10 minutes later 2 kids were walking by that just got out of a movie and see him(the sidewalk is right next to the bar). One of them yells "Appalachain State rules!" Braylon says to his friends "F--- them inbred motherf---ers."

It was pretty much a perfect day. Only thing better would have been if he bought dinner and I left in his Bentley.:chuckles:

I already call the Steelers "Inbred mother****ers" as well as the "Yinzers".

I missed this post...that's awesome..I never see anyone famous. I walked past Grady Sizemore once and played 2 on 2 with Andre Miller against Ricky Davis and Wesley Person.

What is it with you Big 10 teams not being able to beat any team from a conference with "South" in front of it?

I can learn to accept losing to the winner of the SEC and the team that played the toughest schedule in college football...

Losing to a subdivisional opponent, not by luck..but by being completely outworked is not acceptable.

Florida is an infinite amount better than ASU.

They say bad things come in threes. Well what you have here is three sets of three:

Three straight losses? Check!
Three straight bowl losses? Check!
Three straight losses to your rival Ohio State? Check!

The above isn't even considering the embarrassment of being the first ranked Div I team to lose to a Div I-AA team. :chuckles: Lloyd needs to slow down and not suck sooooo badly that he gets the ax. We need him to hold on in Ann Arbor for a few more years.


So I'm watching College Football Final, and Trev Alberts goes "So is there any way you can justify having Michigan even ranked next week?"

Lou Holtz: "I have them in the top ten ... in the Big Ten!"

I about fell out of my seat laughing.


Oh and Mac, fwiw they were all saying on that show UM now has NO chance of playing for the national title. They even brought up the question "Yeah, but they lost early?" "In this case, the timing of the loss doesn't matter. If your only loss is to a Div I school, I don't care when it happened, that puts you ahead of a school who lost to a Div I-AA team."

I'd put Auburn Florida LSU or any other SEC team with 2 losses in before Michigan, even if they go 11-1. It's about who you lost to. I mean sure if Michigan went 11-1 with their only loss to OSU I could see them getting in, but there are always a handful of SEC teams with 1 loss to an opponent normally with a high ranking.

I don't know for a fact, but it seems like every year there are at least 3 teams with 1 loss or less. For UM to get in, there would have to be just them and one other team. It's not going to happen.

Besides, Michigan is going to drop another game this year. Let's not act like 11-1 is something we're going to see from these jokers.

Id put the top 3 teams in the SEC before any Big 10 team.

Well your opinion is worth a used condom with hiv all in it.

 

[James]

^werd. because we all saw what the best team in the Big 10 did against the best team in the SEC, and you know what, id go out on a limb and say LSU would have done similar against OSU last year. But the past is the past.....if your top ranked team in your division loses to a unranked team, let alone a team nobody outside of NC and VA has heard of...you got problems. SEC teams make up what...like a little more the 1/5 of the top 25....by tomorrow there will be 3 Big 10 teams left in the top 25 with Michigan sent to the outskirts with there tails between there legs.

 

[cavincali]

Big Ten teams make up what...4/25 of the top 25.

Why the hell would you bring up a point that holds little weight guy? One more team. Whoopie.

I could care less how the conference does to be honest, rather just how OSU does.

In addition I could really care less how the SEC conference does. I have never met anyone who has rooted for a conference over a team.

The SEC also has more teams than the Big Ten.

Michigan will not got 11-1 this year. They have the offensive firepower, but they really only have 1 impact defensive player, and lack motivation. I really believe that last year Carr was expecting to hopefully go undefeated, and retire as a champion. I don't think he has that fire anymore to lead. The only reason he came back was he thought with Hart, Henne, and Manningham, he would at least have a chance at a great season (especially with OSU not expected to be as good this year) and sealing his legacy at Michigan.

Carr has always had the problem of not being able to get the kids motivated for a seemingly weak opponent. There are plenty of games I've watched where Michigan won on talent, but should have steamrolled their opponent. They just appear to be going through the motions in these games. No one is fired up. For gawds-sake, it's the first game of the season...they should be hitting guys like a freight train. Everyone is fresh. The field is clean. 110,000 people are cheering them on, singing "Hail to the Victors." It's time to play some f---ing football!

Well, he sealed his legacy, all right. First coach (and team) ever to lose to a subdivision school while being ranked. Non-motivator. I will give him credit for taking the blame, but that is only because he is right. At least he has honesty going for him.

The blue ridge mountains are very pretty. Boone's an ok town, but when I go to the mountains I like to stay in some of the smaller ritzy ski resort towns, for example Blowing Rock.

Toward the end of the game, when I was asked, “Michigan is losing? Can it get any better than that!?” I answered, “Yes. Only if they lost in the last minute”. When the field goal was blocked, the same guy: “Any better than that?” Someone else answered: “Only if they had just signed Lloyd Carr to a long-term contract extension right before the game”.
