2009 TSUN News (football only discussion)

Denard is definitely headed for a position change.

Not anytime soon. Earliest that would happen is 2010, but more like 2011.

 

[smithlabs]

yeah now you'd be talking some money

You know it's not only about the size. I've heard said that the best beaus have woodies.

BTW...who the [censored] names two of their sons Kevin and Kelvin? What, they wanted to make hand me downs with names on them easier to pass down?

"Here you Kelvin, all yours. Oh wait a minute. Let me just slip an l in there, aaaaaand, there ya go. All yours. See, it even has your name on it!"

Good, he's used to it then. JT will slip him an "l" every year he's there.

2009 Michigan Football T-shirts: the Worst

These t-shirts came out kind of a long time ago, but I just saw the design myself. And let me just say: my God. What happened?

The Michigan football t-shirts have always been, well, less-than-inspiring. For the past few years, they have basically been plain maize with the schedule on the back and something to the effect of "Michigan Football (insert year here)" on the front. Creativity? None to speak of.

I don't know if the Athletic Department thought we needed some inpiration after the Debacle of last season, but, for whatever reason, they decided to make some changes to the (ahem) original design. And not good changes.

The biggest question: what's with the pledge? I would like to think it is directed at students I referred to last season, basically saying, "adhere to this pledge and you can truly call yourself a Michigan fan!" A lot of students definitely needed to be called out in this way, but could they done it with a little less cheese? I mean, the pledge may be the cheesiest thing I've ever read. I love Michigan football as much as the next fan, and I don't need some over-the-top pledge to remind me of how to do that.

Also, the "All in for Michigan?" Is that what the Athletic Department thought the student shirts have been missing all these years? A sort-of rhyming, not-that-catchy slogan? Michigan already has a very catchy slogan that needs no rhyme: "Hail to the Victors!" Even "Go Blue" would have been fine.

These shirts also open up Michigan to a whole new realm of mockery. Can you imagine the various parodies of the pledge that will be written by Michigan State and Ohio State fans? It's too easy for them. And after last season, Michigan doesn't exactly need to search for ways to be mocked.

Oh, and come the first game this season, you will find me in the student section, with that stupid pledge slapped across my back. Part

Michigan WTF-Girl will look bad ass in that t-shirt while she's jingling her keys on third downs.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

It's not just third downs Dryden. That would be lame. It's on KEY PLAYS!!!!

Ah yes, an important distinction, since Rich Rod's offense means 1st and 2nd downs are key plays too.

Pretty much every play that doesn't involve Zoltan, the Space Punter.

It sucks too.....because there are going to be A LOT of those.

somebody stole my Bulls Starter jacket out of my locker in 7th grade.

I'd go check and see if it's there. After the Cavs got Lebron, most Bulls fans changed teams.

i heard she is exempt from the pledge and will be going topless this season.

The fucksticks in the t-shirts have a lot more to do with it than the t-shirts do.

the players running around on the field in the ugly uniforms and especially the asses on the sidelines have the most to do with the mocking

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Sometimes when you're playing Texas Hold 'em a guy goes all in and you think "Hmmmm.. does he have it? Is he trying to take my money?"

But...

Other times...

when you see how they've played up to that point...
when you're aware that they're short stacked
when you are aware he has been getting bad cards and is frustrated...

you just know...

It's a desperation move.


All in for Michigan...

Yep.. seems about right to me. Oh, and FWIW, I'd call that shit without hesitation.

 

[NFBuck]

There's a lot of posters on their boards with "All In" garbage in their signatures. It's sad yet hilarious.

Nope. Just sad.

BKB nailed it. I'm "all in" when I've had a shitty night, not gotten the cards, and am the short stack. You know, one of those nights when you pitch the pairs and realize later you would have had a full house if you were patient, or when you keep a pair of pocket bullets yet still wind up losing the hand to the drunk idiot that your friend invited that keeps bragging about how he doesn't even usually play poker, but keeps winning by getting matches to his pair of 3s and thinks he's good cause he watched the WSoP on ESPN a couple times.

Yup. "All in" is usually the last thing I say before I go home and masturbate to make myself feel better about how shitty my night out was.
