Mark May (Blew 5 guys at Pitt)

[DubCoffman62]

Maybe you didn't see the connection between "72-0" and "Who did Mark May play for?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Ohio_State_Buckeyes_football_team. Ohio State played Pitt on 9/21/96 (I believe that was the last time they played each other), and won 72-0. On top of that, the score was CLOSER than the game was, as Cooper announced at halftime that he would have the Buckeyes throw any more passes. They didn't, and still continued to score points (though only 20 points in the second half), including a punt return for a touchdown with only 8 players on the field (7 blockers plus 1 returner).

Wow, that was a really bad football team, besides the 72-0 loss they lost 45-0 to Miami (FL), 34-0 to West Virginia, 60-6 to Notre Dame and 55-7 to Syracuse.

It seems to me there almost has to be another reason for May's obvious dislike of OSU, though. Even if you credit May with being petty enough to hold a 15+ year public grudge over one game, which I do, OSU is not the only team to have annihilated Pitt since Mark May played there. While 72-0 is probably pretty rare, in that very same year, Pitt lost 60-6 to ND, 55-7 to 'Cuse, and 45-0 to Miami. That Pitt team was horrid, and proven so multiple times. So, of the probably dozen or more teams who have obliterated Pitt over the years (few to the tune of 72-0, but many pretty close), what makes OSU so special in Mark May's fevered mind?

IIRC some were talking about how Mark "I need a mayday because I'm so crazayy" May wanted to play for OSU, but Woody never offered him the chance or something to that effect.

May then went on to win the Outland at Pittsburgh and was a first round pick in the NFL draft.

What's that say? WOODY CAN'T RECRUIT!!1!11!

Honestly, how many times do you guys have to watch this tool to know what you're going to get?

I'm not sure why you make that point, as this thread is predicated on people knowing what they're "going to get" from Mark May. For my part, I don't make a point of watching Mark May, I occasionally watch GameDay Live on Saturdays because I like to see highlights of the OSU game, and Mark May happens to be in the vicinity. That's pretty much the only reason I'm aware of his clown nose schtick, as everyone else who has commented on this thread is.

I think you may be on to something there.

Maybe I'm just weaker than most. He fills me with revulsion, same as Holtz. It's literally like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. I can't listen to them.

That's fine, my personal viewing habits were just an aside. I was moreso wondering why you were asking the question, "when are you guys going to realize that Mark May is a douchebag?", within a thread that is effectively titled, "Mark May is a douchebag".

I think the question was, "Why are you guys talking about this? You have to know what Fat Urkel said to talk about it and at least one of you has to have watched Fat Urkel to know what he said. Do what normal people do and screw your girlfriend at half-time instead of watching this guy."

I, for one, think it was a fair point.

EDIT: What you do with the other 18 minutes of half-time is your business.

At risk of further diverting the topic from the well-deserved Mark May bash-fest, the question, "how many times do you guys have to watch this tool to know what you're going to get?" reads to me as suggesting that there exists some lack of clarity as to what "MayDay" is going to deliver. But, yeah, it could alternately be read as, "you know what you're going to get, so stop watching". In which case, I hear thee, brother.

Also, some of us have wives, a species not renowned for their desire to screw at halftime, rather than girlfriends.

Some smoke a cigarette, some apologize, some watch GameDay Live. Who're you to judge?

DaddyBigBucks correctly analyzed the cryptic meaning of my post. Maybe I wasn't so clear. No worries.

And I definitely agree that screwing your significant other is preferable to listening to Mark May. That deserves a +1....

EDIT - PS: Screw Mark May and the Holtz he rode in on.

I did just this. Then my wife came in and told me my punishment was I had to listen to Mark May.

Funnily enough, screwing Mark May would sometimes be preferable to listening to my significant other.

 

[Crump's brother]

Watching him makes me almost miss Trev.

That's cool....but if listening to Mark May ever becomes preferable to screwing a picnic table, then you need to call us.

That's my plan for this Saturday. So just a heads-up to anyone sitting in sec 16C.
