Will not watch.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:17 AM ^
I will. And I will cheer lustfully for Ohio State to lose.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:29 AM ^
Same here.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:32 AM ^
... and you're one of my favorite posters, but I need to insist that you not cheer "lustfully" for OSU to lose. Unless, Ohio State losing is actually a sexual thing for you. ;-)
Anyway, "God willing," I'll be with you in 2022 cheering lustily against the Buckeyes.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:36 AM ^
Maybe he won't be wearing pants. In which case, lustfully may be appropriate.
September 4th, 2014 at 11:43 AM ^
+1 Insightful.

telling people how to cheer! jeesh! You cheer away as sexy as you want!
September 4th, 2014 at 11:31 AM ^
I feel sexy living in Ohio! LOL
September 4th, 2014 at 11:24 AM ^
does not have to be sexual in nature though we typically use it that way today. It can simply refer to a strong desire or a longing.
September 4th, 2014 at 11:42 AM ^
I was simply making the observation that the poster in question (in all likelihood) meant to use the expression "cheer lustily" (i.e., "vigorously"). Even "lustily" can imply "sexual lust," although this denotation is more remote within the "semantic field" of "lustily" and more proximate within the semantic field of "lustfully."
I don't know why I just wrote any of this on a sports blog--except that it's a Michigan sports blog (fergodsakes).

"Unless, Ohio State losing is actually a sexual thing for you."
is it not for you?
September 4th, 2014 at 2:22 PM ^
is better than sex. That universe may intersect with the universe we presently occupy.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:38 AM ^
I will always take a big ten team over these independent ass-clowns.

Notre Dame is in the ACC for everything but football. They just have a scheduling agreement with them where they play ACC teams five times a year.
Basically, Notre Dame football is playing just the tip with the ACC.
September 4th, 2014 at 11:56 PM ^
I would have said (")6" would be an overestimation for ND
September 4th, 2014 at 11:18 AM ^
Your priorities for this are completely wrong and shameful. You should be rooting for an Asteroid to hit the stadium and both teams lose!
September 4th, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
And the spectacular yakkity-sax video that would come out of it.
September 4th, 2014 at 11:42 AM ^
since I can't stand either team
September 4th, 2014 at 11:52 AM ^
Completely different reaction here. I don't blame OSU for accepting this game when offended. OTOH, it is the absolute height of hypocrisy/cowardice for ND to claim it can't play us because it needs a more "national" schedule, and then turn around and play another Big Ten team three hours away. On those two days I will suspend all OSU hate and hope they destroy ND.
September 4th, 2014 at 11:54 AM ^
They replaced UM with Texas and Georgia before OSU.
September 4th, 2014 at 3:48 PM ^
They ditched UM for more national exposure. It sounds like Reader71 may give them all the exposure they want, with his lustful cheering and all :)
September 4th, 2014 at 10:29 AM ^
Yes you will.

A BEER A BEER A BEER A BEER A BEER A BEER A BEER A BEER A BEER

a slap in the face. Suddenly, there is a fair lot on the line for Saturday. Regretfully, I will have to root for the B1G in that game, and not just to win but to wipe the field with ND.
EDIT: The ball is in your court Mr. Brandon.
September 4th, 2014 at 11:07 AM ^
This is the offical double slap in the face and the icing on the cake before the game. If we needed more motivation to smoke their chicken shit asses, this is it. The boys going to kick the tires and light the fires now!
September 4th, 2014 at 11:54 AM ^
"Slap in the face" is exactly what I was thinking. I hope OSU absolutely destroys them.
September 4th, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
doubly disgusting Saturday! Someone get me a good link to Brandstatter and Duberdorfer, or whatever his name is. The fragment of their back and forth that I heard sounded great!
EDIT: I don't usually give a flyin f about your sorryass negs, hiding behind your cloak of anonymity to HURT real humans. But this time I'm taking umbrage for the whole damned school and calling you out, NEGPERSON! Let's do this! The Diag at high noon on Saturday. Be there or be known for the smarmypants you are!

publicly claimed hardship reasons that didn't even exist ("..buh, buh, buh, but we have to play ACC teams!!!") and then went ahead and scheduled a football game series with another Big Ten team that is also just 3 hours away.
I think people care about this because it reconfirms what most Michigan fans and everyone else already knows about Notre Dame and their college football program. They have no integrity and are disingenuous pussy willows.
September 4th, 2014 at 3:58 PM ^
an attitude of studied nonchalance, are you?
September 4th, 2014 at 10:01 AM ^
I don't think the timing of this announcement is a coincidence with the last game of the UM/ND series coming up this week.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:02 AM ^
So much for the rationale that ND backed out of the Michigan series to get more coastal opponents. I look forward to seeing them get whipped by OSU in these.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:08 AM ^
They backed out because they were afraid of playing us. They must not be too worried about Ohio State.
Sounds about right.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:40 AM ^
I'm guessing they're also more comfortable with OSU because ND's self-image isn't so devastated by them.
- ND relishes their history but ours started earlier -- and we taught them the game.
- They're proud to have the fourth-highest number of wins in college football, but we're in the top spot.
- They have a well-known fight song, but we have what Sousa himself called "the greatest college fight song ever written."
- They're proud of their gold helmet, but our unis were voted the best in all of sports in an ESPN poll.
- And the ND feeling that, "well, we lost, but we still go to a good school and you don't" is agonizingly unavailable for the Michigan game.
In short, everything they're proud of about themselves is embarassed when they have to stand next to us, and it burns them up. That we comfortably lead the all-time series against them, and that we've recently ruined so many of their seasons early in the year, makes it all worse. I get it.

A note scribbled on a dollar bill will be delivered on the sidelines of the Bluebonnett Bowl in 2020 cancelling the series.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:57 AM ^
Now, this is Michigan Arrogance done right!

i read this post lustfully
September 4th, 2014 at 10:02 AM ^
I wish there was a way we could get revenge with them for this.
September 4th, 2014 at 10:35 AM ^
ND is butthurt about UM. Their record is bad against us so they don't want to play. We win.
September 4th, 2014 at 11:49 AM ^
September 4th, 2014 at 12:51 PM ^
Loose - butt. Well played mom.
