I wish it to be remembered that I was the last man of my tribe to surrender my rifle...

Love the quote!!!
No booing and no leaving today sports fans!

it's a crisp fall morning here---frost overnight but expect sun and 60s for game time.

Orange is for convicts.

GO BLUE
BEAT THE ILLINI

For those who prefer pictures to the written word, your photo for this thread is the definition of a self-destructive abnormality commonly referred to as "suicide by cop."

In this example, our intrepid fan is inviting the full weight of an orange crush upon his inadequately helmeted melon.

By the way, my word verification is "bsnwa." What are the odds that I would get a word in the Illini language? Loosely translated: "Please be so kind as to bend me over and cram my non-functioning brain cover up my old address."

(no charge for the linguistic lesson)

TitleIX said...

oh no whetstone. Yonder warrior stands alone in victory!!!

ps--
b'snwa = Hebrew. Comments left by another team's fans on Michigan blogs. (pronunciation: "piss and wah")

I kill myself! ;-)
Your serve....

whetstonebuck said...

Hebrew? Not so much. Yiddish I can buy.

Comments left on:

Michigan blog = piss & wah
tOSU blog = shock & awe

shock = TP
awe = Beanie

I'm just sayin'

Penn State rolls at Purdue. They look good.

Sparty holds on 16-13 after Iowa goes for a 4th and one inside of easy FG range. Ringer less than 100 yards. They are beatable.

30 minutes until our kickoff. T9 is in place and has been texting me all day long.

"Penn State rolls at Purdue. They look good."

You sure it's not that Purdue is that bad?

I'm not ready to grant PSU any props until they actually play someone. Let's see how they fare over the next three weeks.

If Odoms jumps and gets his hand up he MAYBE catches that ball. Otherwise seen some good things from offense and some mediocre things. They need to get Mcguffie out in space. Space? SPACE.

I was wondering why they haven't tried MCguffie on kick return. Get him a head of steam and watch him run. Would be fun.

BAck to heavy drinking. Got the wife on a beer run for me since I'm running out and am with baby. Otherwise she's having a good time and all is good at the Hammm house.

PS> I will be pursuing buying tickets to the MI Northwestern game 11/15. Will be taking my father for his first MI game experience and his birthday is 11/17. If anyone knows anyone who has tickets or has a hookup let me know. I would like to sit on the MI side but really doesn't matter to much.

PPS> Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger
Beat that O$U ass!

That is all inebriation continues....

1st half = tale of 2 quarters.

Threet looks great in the 1st and jumps backwards badly in the 2nd.

Tacopants was his favorite target in the 2nd quarter.

D looks good. Got burned a couple of times on the blitz.

We can still win this game, we just need to find some rythmn on offense.

whetstonebuck said...

I got rhythm, I got music,
I got my team
Who could ask for anything more?

Andy said...

End of 3rd. Down by 10. Ilnini driving after a shaw fumble.

We need some help.

whetstonebuck said...

HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I'M FEELING DOWN
AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING AROUND.
HELP ME GET MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND,
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME.

Just trying to help.

whetstonebuck said...

You've got a receiver named Zion Babb?

Maybe you could trade him to BYU for a defensive player.

Bigasshammm said...

Pretty much as I expected. You can't stop a well run spread offense.

TitleIX said...

i got nothing right now.
need to process.


bleck

hey, was the pic on the front page a shot from the end of the game today?

looked like it from here watching tv at the end ;)

oh - does the barwis effect count when you get outscored 28-6 in the 2nd half? or is it pick and choose your spots?

Andy said...

Sru:

You are like a snake that only comes out when it is dark. We missed you all week.

And yes, we kinda just pick and choose our spots. I guess we kinda chose to play like Ohio State did last year against Illinois.

srudoff said...

oh and for the UM fans calling out osu fans for booing boeckman, right back at you after today, booing your own QB AND cheering for Juice Williams when he was hurt. Love that you could hear someone yell "drag his ass off the field and let's go" over the broadcast.

Stay Classy Ann Arbor.

(btw bad mood, pissed off and it shows)

whetstonebuck said...

"I guess we kinda chose to play like Ohio State did last year against Illinois."

A blind man could see that one coming. Touche.

whetstonebuck said...

By the way, does Zion Babb have a brother named Kai?

TitleIX said...

Sru:
ON WISCONSIN

whetstone:
nope his brother is named Sheez. As in, Sheez we've got no consistency on offense...
