THE PURGE: End of OT Season Edition

Submitted by Blue@LSU on August 25th, 2023 at 5:50 PM

This is not simply a negbang. This is THE PURGE. A bloodletting. A board-wide exorcism of all negativity before the season begins.

Got a problem with the coaches, the plays, the officiating, the NCAA, the MGoBoard, me, life in general? Let us know how you feel about it.

Got some shitty predictions for the upcoming season? I do: 

  • John O’Neill will come out of retirement to officiate the OSU game, leading a crew of ass-grabbing Buckeye fanboys.
  • Michigan will have a 50/50 run-pass balance on offense: 50% run into a stacked box, 50% Philly Specials.
  • Tuck Comin!

Now go ahead. Let the hate flow through you.

  • College football, in becoming more like the NFL, has only one more year of credibility left; 
  • Marsupials, and Koalas in particular, are an abomination;
  • Simians are a close second  
  • There is more value in an OT threads asking for assistance than there is in any game thread;
  • My snowflake threads bring all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours.  Damn right, it's better than yours.  I can teach you but I have to charge.  Damn right, it's better than yours.

The team and the fan base are way too over confident.  Too many fans and pundits are picking Michigan to win the B1G and many the National Championship.  This is a sure recipe for at least 2 losses and a highly disappointing season.

1) Gisele is NOT God’s gift to man. She is very good looking but she is not divine. Wouldn’t even name her in my top-10. If she hadn’t been married to Brady she’d be a no name around here. 

2) OSU’s recruiting lately scares the shit out of me. Yes we’ve whipped their ass the last two years and we have as good a chance as ever to make it three in a row. But a lot of the guys who can make that happen will be gone in 4-5 months. Day seems to have placed an emphasis on stopping the run with his recruiting because they just secured two 5* DL, and still reeled in Aaron Scott when Michigan needed a player of that caliber badly. If Day can get shit figured out with his defense the way he has with his WRs, Michigan is in trouble for as long as he’s at OSU. 

3) I don’t think Michigan’s recruiting beyond this year is enough to win it all. I feel like we are a plus version of Dantonio’s heyday where we are betting on guys who are under recruited but with plus upsides to develop into all conference studs. And that may be good enough to beat OSU occasionally, but if they are fortunate enough to make the CFP and meet an Alabama or Georgia they will be shoved into a buzzsaw and disemboweled Mortal Kombat FATALITY style. This year may be Michigan’s best chance for the foreseeable future because it feels like they are slowly but surely getting left behind on the recruiting trail when you stack them up to Alabama, Georgia and OSU.

Fuck whoever approved the slime at five below that ruins entire loads and gums up your sewers. How the fuck do they get away with selling such a product? I would not be that surprised if there is an average of one murder per sale when a parent returns with half a can of goop, a fistful of ruined shirts, and a $500 bill from Roto Rooter

My daughter is going through the college application process. 

It causes lots of fights in the house because we really want her to get some of them out of the way before her Senior years starts in earnest, while she thinks she can do them all "whenever".

At this point, I hate any and all colleges and anything to do with college.  I will be watching pro football only until college applications are out of the way.
