@Bry_Mac You can be an imposter in my Mgoblog feed any time you want. You are an amazing writer and have made me laugh out loud more times than I can count.
I might be missing one - but Keon Sabb, Will Johnson, and Mikey Sanristil all have Pick 6s this season. So 33% of our interceptions this season are going to the house. And Kris Jenkins almost did. Amazing.
In. This will be a rager. Unless, of course, the game kicks off at 3:30pm Eastern Time, at which time I will reserve the right to go to sleep by 7:30pm Pacific.
I remember the 2003 game clearly because I had run out to Best Buy (maybe Circuit City back then) and bought my first TiVo machine of many. Hooked it up and just got the three hour program guide over dial up to finish by game time. Then spent about two hours in horror that my first DVR-able game was a blowout. And then spent two hours after the game replaying the fourth quarter comeback with my new techy toy. All by myself because my wife had gone to bed early (pregnant with our second daughter who is now a sophomore at UM).
What popped in my head was “Shakin’” by Eddie Money, but I think it’s just “shakin’” in the chorus. Rosanna is the girl’s name though “Just call Rosanna and it's a hell of a show…”
I have tears in my eyes feeling the pain of losing three wonderful dogs (one at 15, one at 13, and one way too early at 7) over the years after reading your beautiful tribute to Maude. We have two more that give us daily joy.
The only comfort I can provide in this very hard time for you is that your tribute means that Maude had an absolutely wonderful 14 year run and her life was a great one and she loved every minute of it.
And like my four year old (at the time now 22) said after losing our first dog: “What could make me feel better? Another dog of course”.
Give it a little time, but start the run again. Your home is great for a dog.
I literally had the thought this week of “I wonder how the dude that writes Opponent Watch can keep this going so long.”
Then I read this paragraph and then I read it out loud to my 21 year old daughter and we agreed that might be one of the funniest game summaries to have ever been saved to a hard drive somewhere.
Recap: This was like watching Godzilla absolutely wreck your asshole neighbor’s house. Yes, you are aware of the implications for your near future. It would, all things considered, probably be better for you if the whole Godzilla threat had been overblown. But Doug had that shit coming. I guess you won’t have to worry about whether I mowed exactly on property line now that your side of the property line has been STOMPED INTO THE CORE OF THE EARTH, eh Doug? Go ahead and complain on NextDoor again about people who need to paint their shutters. WHERE ARE YOUR SHUTTERS NOW, DOUG?
Thanks! But all I can take credit for was searching for the highlight video and then spending a whole bunch of time hunting for how to embed a video (first post).
Obviously, the real Jordan Bohannon is a 34-year-old insurance agent married with a family of four in Des Moines. So Iowa clearly has a roster imposter.
If you asked me on September 3 if I would fast forward to Halloween and be 7-1 and ranked around #10, I easily would have taken it. Even if the loss was to Sparty. Go Blue!
On paper, we win this game by two touchdowns. When I fire up the Cray and factor in the Sparty home field advantage, Halloween weekend, rainy morning, grass field, and the crazy stuff that only happens to us there...well, I...

Upvoted just for the Duke-UM ‘91 mention. My senior year. Unbelievable game. Webber almost winning it with a half court shot in regulation. Just wow.
Me too.
I am happy this did not age well :)
How are we only a two-point dog? Asking for a friend.

OW is probably the content I read out loud to my family most often. Me: laughing. Them: not so much.
I am hoping this game makes Ryan Day wake up on second base and wonder how he got there.
The DMV crowd will show up strong for Michigan today. And I would think sitting one spot behind OSU should be enough motivation to bring it today.
Burn the tapes and move on. At least it wasn’t CMU.
I’m going to go drink 33.8 fluid ounces of water.

Raj gave me PTSD flashbacks to 2008-2014.

@Bry_Mac I can totally relate to your essay this week on distance running. I ran a 5k once and agree that the second hundred yards is kind of a bitch.
The best part is middle aged Sparty and Buckeye fans going: “is that the painting from Ferris Bueller that made Cameron sad?”

I would buy a Harburgler (?) shirt in a New York minute.
But fast.

This is nuts. Never heard this story before.
^^ Honestly, I would rank in-stadium WiFi above scoreboards as an unmet long-standing need.
Counterpunt-Counterpunt!
Dear Seth:
I approve this message.
This team is businesslike. They were just a little late to the office today. All is well. Go Blue!
I like Jake Butt and I can not lie. And those other announcers can’t deny.
The only Brian I like better than happy Brian is proud Brian with a little tinge of GFY.
We keep on ringing Hells Bells!
Stomp them back to the Stone Age. ¡Quema los sofás!

There it is. Game…
F5…F5…F5…
There it is. Game day morning is ON!
Best morning bathroom appointment reading ever. And the airplane constipation story made me die laughing. Great job as always!
Ahhh a football Saturday launched with one of my favorite segments of this site. The universe feels slightly less chaotic today. Go Blue!
Unfortunately, yes.
Since the USPTO bizarrely allowed this trademark registration, the new shirt design should properly have the “R in a circle” symbol after “THE”.
I literally logged in to make a Steely Dan reference like this. Well done!
Moussa let off strong C Webb vibes tonight.
Apparently he went for 3!
It’s not Impostor Syndrome when you are consistently brilliant. Thank you for your good work!
Rooting? I don’t root for either. But we need OSU to pound Sparty back into the Stone Age.

I enjoyed this comment differentially.
The writing is just so good in this segment. Part of my Gameday preparation for sure.
Go Blue! Hope is alive! (According to George Constanza it’s also a killer)
