11w version of Heiko's interview with Borges
So our friends over at 11W have done a faux interview with Borges based on the real one Heiko did a few weeks ago. This is only part one, but it was pretty amusing. Comments are pretty funny too.
My favorite part:
The next day I get up around 10 or so and head straight to the cafeteria at Schembechler Hall. The players are usually in class by then, so I get the waffle bar to myself (It's amazeballs, you gotta try it). After a few waffles I get one to go and lock myself in my office. My work computer has a great connection, so this is usually when I get my World of Warcraft time in.
Even though this came from an Ohio fan - was still pretty funny!
That sounds more like an interview with one of the writers of this blog, not Borges.
I thought this was pretty good:
Finally once practice starts, I head straight to the scissor lift. I try to avoid the coaches locker room as much as possible, since Coach Mattison usually just makes fun of me for all the mail my recruits send back (I think he makes up some of those letters, but I can't prove it).
I dunno why, but just picturing Mattison acting like a middle school bully just makes me crack up
Don't miss my upcoming interview with OSU coach Mike Vrabel. In it, Mike lets me in on where he hides his mini-fridge full of Jagermeister and introduces me to the practice of raising ones collar in order to prevent the damaging effects of UV rays on exposed neck skin.
Don't forget about his love affair with goldbond!
"You're a Brah-ller!"
im gonna have to start using amazeballs
You should. It's amazeballs.
SHOTS FIRED. I say we respond in kind. A mock interview with Urban Meyer or better yet Mike Vrabel is in order. I'd like to hear more about Vrabel's affinity for Gold Bond Medicated Powder.
"I'd like to hear more about Vrabel's affinity for Gold Bond Medicated Powder"
You would? I'm all set actually. I feel like I know too much.
FYI - It isnt "mean" to tell a grossly obese person that they are grossly obese.
It isn't like saying someone has a big nose. You aren't born with back boobs.
FYI - You do NOT know what I was born with.
That is pretty funny, I don't care who you are. I don't know if I agree about the most overweight coaching staff in the country though. Hell...Charlie Weis outweighs our staff all by himself.
about borrowing Denard's spoon
Isn't Meyer the one with the heart problems? Quit ragging on our coaches when Mattison, at 63, has a better ticker and more youth than all the younglings coaching at Ohio.
I don't get the fascination with Eleven Warriors. I really have no desire to read a Buckeye blog, but I guess if that's what makes other people happy then they should go for it.
I find 11 Warriors to be a well written blog, and the quality of the content on their message board is much better than on RCMB... obviously they hate UM, but they are not nearly as blinded by their hate as the RCMB folk.
piece (or whatever it's called) recapping Michigan's game the previous weekend. I think it's pretty well written and insightful. Outside of that, I don't read and am not familiar with anything else on that board.

They should have a ton of UM-related content. One of their fight songs has the word "Michigan" in it. Can you think of one UM fight song with the o-word in it?
Eleven Warriors is almost as obsessed with Michigan recruiting as we are, they're solidly praying we don't get Hand
That was actually pretty funny and the comments weren't half bad.
Whoever the Michigan fan was who replied about while Michigan's fat guys may be at risk of diabetes, Ohio State's athletic guys had pre-existing heart issues is a great man and must be given his/her due accords.
This is a Michigan blog.
Eleven Warriors should never be linked on this site.
Unlike Sparty, they are not trolling the recruits (today at least). They saw low-hanging fruit, and went after it. Face it, things are slow for them. Our seniors are out buying P1Gs, getting wet and sandy, and practicing their social networking skills. Without mounting an expedition to the seamier side of that city down there, they have nothing else to write about. In fact, it is my sincere hope that Coach Mattison finds himself in a position to give them a Hand - early and often.
Good to see Bucknuts are just as bored in the off-season as we are. But making fun of Gorgeous Al Borges because of his gut is... well, too easy. It's like making a movie where your bad guy is a Nazi -- you get no creative points for it, there's no challenge there.
Better fodder is making fun of Al not having to scheme with Flash Dilithium in the backfield, but going instead with Manbawl.
The problem with 95% of 11w's writers is they try too hard to be funny and it usually comes off as forced. Some of their stuff is good - like the April Fool's stunt where they aped Bleacher Report - but they usually just settle for fat jokes and pass it off as Calvin Trillin-level witticism.
