Per the party schools...
Go to OU for Halloween. That's a hell of an experience.

TitleIX said...

isn't every day Halloween in Columbus??

Andy said...

Ummm T9.... OU is in Athens. Don't worry, it is a common mistake even amongst Ohians.

I was actually in Columbus for Halloween in 1986, or was it 1987?. I remember some guy was actually dressed like Earl Bruce. Good times.

I am not sure T9 was referring to OU but was rather just stating a fact regarding tosu.

Andy.. Thanks for the countdown wallpaper. We are already prepping our tailgate trailer and making sure everything is ready to go.

Okay, we need to take care of some serious business before your first game.

Because your expectation levels are so high after several disappointing seasons, some of you are on the verge of a mental meltdown should things turn sour once again (think Appy St.).

For the benefit of all, I think it would be wise for you to inform me of where your bodies might be found so that I can inform the authorities and your loved ones. After all, you don't want them to find you after you've begun to stinketh.

I know, I know, this is sacrificial service on a level you're not used to. Don't thank me. Really, I don't mind. It's just the kind of guy I am.

I don't expect to beat Uconn and therefore will not be murdering myself or anyone else. I've seen this defense and I have 0 expectations.

TitleIX said...

tUOS on the brain and trying to take any opportunity to disparage.

Apologies to OU--the other white meat?

whets,
i'd be careful about making too much about dashed expectations. if anyone in the Big Ten is set up for a disappointment, it's not in A2.

if tosu doesn't win an MNC this year (and i mean win, not merely play for), half of Franklin County is going to do itself a harm.

there's a a fable about "glass houses" coming your way soon.

I bet myself money that my comment would bring SiC out of the woodwork.

I win! I know you too well.

Wait, if I bet myself do I really win? What if I lose? I'm so conflicted.

Anyway, Sic, I was only thinking of your welfare. TOSU and their chances never entered my mind.


Chicken soup?

(this joke is too corny to pass up)

--The Seven Dwarfs are in a cave when the roof collapses. Snow White runs to the cave entrance and yells into the darkness, "Somebody, say something!"

A distant voice in the cave responds, "OSU will win the BCS Championship!"

Snow White sighs, "Oh, thank goodness! At least, Dopey is still alive!"

whetstonebuck said...

I know they don't tell that one in Miami.

Andy said...

No, they just call the ref that threw the flag on that terrible game saving pass interference "Dopey".

I know, I know.... You have video proof it was right call, but if every buckeye fan I know can make a joke about our "half" national championship in 1997 - I can stick to my belief it was a shitty call

whetstonebuck said...

Good point. However, you have never heard me joke about your "half-championship."

Confession: I do snicker about the Appy St. debacle. Sorry.

Man, I feel better. No, better than better; I feel clean. Make that clean and light--so light.

it would appear that everyone here is in mid season form, even if camps are just opening.

whetstonebuck said...

Ain't it grand!

it beats working.
