2014 TSUN Football News

[kujirakira]

Painful as it might be, we need to pull for the weasels this weekend. I actually pull for every B1G team playing against non-conference foes, but it would be especially nice if tsun outscored the domers by at least a TD this weekend. The reason? Recruiting. We are battling ND for several huge recruits who will attend the game: Porter Gustin, Tommy Kraemer, Prince Sammons, Liam Eichenberg, Jake Hausmann, Ethan Tucky, Lavert Hill, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Michael Onwenu. Malik Henry as well, but he may already be a done deal to ND.

Now we don't want TSUN to look too good, because three of those kids are from Cass Tech. We want them to beat the domers in an uninspiring, hokish fashion...

It amazes me how ND picks up so many highly touted QB recruits despite being a perennial joke. I suppose it's partially b/c there's always 1 braindead NFL GM that buys the hype and pulls the trigger. They've sent a fair few QBs to the NFL, but they were all god awful once they were there -- to few people's surprise.

Anyway, on topic. I realize it's in the collective interest if scUM does well. I realize that helps Ohio State's playoff aspirations now and in the future every time a B10 school wins their OOC game.
But personally, I can't watch the game and root for them. In this case both schools are arrogant has-beens, so I'll enjoy seeing either of them lose. It's win-win whether they're 0-11 or 11-0 when the game kicks off... either I can bask in their complete and utter incompetence, or I can enjoy seeing their aspirations destroyed like 2006 again.

Have you lost your damn mind? You think I'm going to cheer for you guys this weekend vs VA Tech? I hope several big ten teams lose this week and would love to see Oregon just beat down Michigan St.

You're just angry because a middling ND is the best team you have a shot at beating this year.

He's saying you don't have a shot vs OSU or MSU.

 

[WolverineMike]

I know what he's saying. But if I have to explain my joke, then it's pointless. So I'll chalk it up as a miss. No big deal.

I tend to root for the incompetence option. But I don't see it as a stab at one's loyalty to the Buckeyes when he roots for Michigan over Notre Dame. I think that's one of the reasons I like this game so much: seemingly "equal" Buckeye fans can take opposing sides in this game. And, in the end, we're all still Buckeye fans.

 

[NFBuck]

I always root for incompetence with exceptions against ped aggy and NoD. I get wanting a strong m*ch*g*n for the sake of the rivalry, but the message board hilarity through the season is far too much fun for me. Last season and the dickrod years were simply glorious for that reason.

tOSU has all kinds of problems this year, but at least our boys tried. scUM just voluntarily participated in a snuff film.

Only Michigan can figure out how to lose by 30+ points despite out gaining their opponent, holding them to 54 yards rushing on 31 carries, and winning the TOP by 6 minutes. Think about that for a second.

First Michigan shut out since 1984.

The screams for Sugar Shane are deafening this morning. People don't seem to understand he's not the answer.

This gem from a Michigan poster on a Badger board:

He must be laughing his fucking ass off right now. The reality is he wasn't any better with his insistence on 3-3-5 and developing the worst defenses in Michigan History. The new president doesn't give a shit about athletics which honestly spells doom for us. Brandon will be pressured to fire Hoke. He will. Then Brandon will inexplicably completely ignore Harbaugh who is unhappy in San Francisco and hire some other fucking .500 MAC coach.

I am settling into my new, cold, terrible reality which is that Michigan is never coming back. The one I grew up with and loved is dead. Dead, dead, fucking dead. We are as likely to return to "glory" as Minnesota is. People say it's a bullshit point to say that the program died with Bo, at this point I'd say it's almost impossible to deny.

Oh, but he is...

One would think sugar shane is not such hot shit if he cant see the field over dumpster fire devin.

It's funny that some people think that Harbaugh might be coaching tsun next year when Hoke gets fired. He's under contract with the 49ers through next year. The 49ers aren't going to just let him go and go coach wherever he wants. That's not the way it works. There's a chance they could trade him to another NFL team, but there is no way he will be at tsun in 2015.
