"An idea that will likely be more than a long shot at Michigan Stadium, according to Brandon.
In fact, he believes it's a bad idea.
"We don't think think it's a good idea," Brandon said. "From our perspective, the nature of that rivalry and the intensity of it, when you put that on in prime time and you give everybody all day long to gear up for it."
"Hosting that at Michigan Stadium, that's probably taking that a step further than it needs to go."
Is that because Staee fans are causing all the drama in AA too? OR is it because a few hundred thousand drunk college football fans tend to do stupid things after drinking all day regardless of venue or fan base?
to me, makes it worse. By not being blunt he is strung a long in the "so you're saying there is still a chance" way. Not being direct kept him from thinking he was going to have it pulled so he didn't look else where. Naive? ok sure, but we're talking about a 17 (?) yr old and maybe his parents who don't do this for a living. Maybe we should let kids have agents in this process so they can decipher the codes and hints for them?
but if a sparty put in this much effort into a post justifying the butthurt of a close loss to us , he'd be mocked mercislessly for being a typical spartan diaper baby.
I get it rage needs to work its way through. but, "the refs dun screwed us" is just a bad look.
"Put an accelerometer inside the damn ball! Also, lets put some of that TV revenue toward highly-accurate GPS, or lasers, or something scientific to measure where the ball should be spotted."
Also not an engineer, but it seems that by now at the very least something can be done for crossing the plane on first downs and goal lines.
...MSU had no one back and we weren't in max protect. A blocked punt was almost inevitable with rugby kicking style kicker. (which is why I screamed myself hoarse at the TV as we lined up) Now, the ball bouncing into sparty's arms...sure, lucky break. but if this wasn't a play with 10 seconds left...but say a minute or two left, are we really calling this flukey?
And to your other point... awful lot of butthurt around here about the Chip(tm)...then you go and call them little brother again. If the media and our fanbase stopped belittling their decade of pretty enviable successes, perhaps they'd get called out on milking that indignation.
..when we admit that we got a phantom touchdown. If that TD on 3rd down was instead a FG after being stood up on 3 downs, then the whole rest of the game is different. That targeting call was total bunk...but so was that never ending scrum the refs let go on until the pile moved. Heck kids were coming off the pile thinking it was long dead.
will sparty's special teams be as horrible? they had to keep going on 4th downs because they have shakey kickers and keep getting (and got all day) burned on returns.
"Their fans have bragged about how they are “back” and how “order has been restored”. However, this is the new order— a world where the Wolverines have to beat MSU to prove they are relevant."
I don't think I can recall a time where this game was a "measuring stick" game like it is today.
Carl's real world aging is a problem for any TV show that has a kid on it that doesn't move at real time speed. IIRC we're heading into year three in the show's time.
and so is the relative prettiness of the cast... Honestly I don't see why they are always so dirty though. It seems clothes should be rather plentiful. It's not like it was nuclear war. go into town and grab some new shirts when you're rummaging through those cupboards for canned goods.
but you need to be consistent in the rules you've set up or the premise collapses. If they are driven to eat, it would indicate they NEED to eat.
I think "28 days later" finally addressed that point. Just get out of their way for a while and they'll all die of starvation.
And with the head shot vs. chopping off legs; why bother engaging them at all? Save the ammo for the gangs of survivors looking to kill or rape or eat you. in TWD universe the walkers can't move faster than a slow walk. Why do anything but move away from them at a faster pace? I get if there is a herd you'd need to chop through a few.... but in the average handful....like last night with the church. oh.. they're in the church? make some noise outside... jog a quarter mile, keeping them following...then sprint a few hundred feet over a slight rise, lose them and walk back to the church out of their sight as they shamble on down the road.
there is so much wasted potential for this show. Aside from the wandering going nowhere nature of the journey at this point, the plot holes just make it borderline unwatchable. I mean the stupid zombies can shamble and groan... why is simply walking away in literally ANY other direction than the direction they are coming from not a solution to EVERY.SINGLE.ATTACK? and how is anyone EVER suprised by a walker in the open? I get opening a locked door and stumbling into having one right there....but outside? How!?!
Oh...we need to have someone get into danger; lets put them in a car and then have them drive down a deserted highway and then have them look away for 30seconds so we can then have them hit a walker that runs out from no where. yay! drama! I mean fewer accidents happen on today's roads with distracted drivers than with these idiots.
I get it. it's about zombies. the problem I have with this show is the derpy writing that knocks you right out of the suspension of disbeleif needed to watch the show.
While they do commit to the school the reason they did was because of the coaching staff. I get the whole loyalty idea, but really why are we demanding loyalty from kids that have a limited time to make any noise and get to the next level? None of the top recruits are coming here for the academics...they're looking to get to the NFL. I wouldn't expect any kid to stay committed while the Athletic Department and the Coaching situation is in chaos because there is nothing telling the kid that anything he's been sold on (staff, type of game, position..etc) will be there when he shows up to camp. Can't expect loyalty without being loyal in the first place.
...it's a PLEA BARGAIN. no need to "infer" anything, in open court he'll either state on the record he is guilty or plead no contest to the charges ...which for sentencing purposes, is pleading guilty.

like in the OSU Game...? or were you doing schtick?

the story today is all about our fans wishing the kicker dead on social media...oh..and this guy.

Oregon played Vernon Adam's old team the first game of the season.

They bought the tickets ahead of time. If you're going to claim there was over 100K at the Maryland game, you weren't there.
