SimPLLLLLLLe Jim "6-13" Harbaugh (B1G Suspenders McKhakiPants, Cheater Cheater Booger Eater)

Ward Maneul: “I think it’s ridiculous,” Manuel said. “I have to pause because of my words. I was angered, infuriated by the insinuation that Michigan would do anything other than play a football game. We’ve been playing this game since 1879. 1879. We’re the winningest program for a reason because we play whoever is in front of us. The only way we want to keep anybody from moving on is to beat them on the fields of play. To insinuate that, to say something other than that is a statement by a fool.”

ORD's post is on point and leads to another issue that has bothered me since the week of The Game (that wasn't). Ward Manuel and his reaction to Kirk Herbstreit. And it's also a cautionary tale to the few folks (on this forum anyway) that feel any sympathy for TTUN's downturn OR think that any other game on our schedule is more important than this one.

Ward Maneul: “I think it’s ridiculous,” Manuel said. “I have to pause because of my words. I was angered, infuriated by the insinuation that Michigan would do anything other than play a football game. We’ve been playing this game since 1879. 1879. We’re the winningest program for a reason because we play whoever is in front of us before the forward pass was invented, we fielded teams of semi-pro players who had used up their eligibility at Eastern schools and then went out and beat up a bunch of small colleges and high schools that didn't even know how to play the game. No shit, folks. We'd literally take an hour or two to teach them the rules and go out and mark an epic 88-0 victory. Eventually, it all caught up with us though, and we were kicked out of the Big Ten when we became the only conference school to defy the new rule requiring that we place our program under the jurisdiction of the faculty and university President. No shit, folks. We were literally the birthplace of Lack Of Institutional Control. The only way we want to keep anybody from moving on is to beat them on the fields of play. To insinuate that, to say something other than that is a statement by a fool.”

If you like Herbie ... he only said what everyone was thinking. If you hate Herbie, he said it in way that left egg on his face and forced an apology. Win-win right? As for Ward, pure quintessential Michigan Man® bullshit. Bringing up the win total and how long you've played the game had NO bearing on what Herbie said. Total misdirection and an attempt to obfuscate the truth. Truth being: you suck, and you're going to do EXACTLY what Kirk implied you would do ... duck the loss AND attempt to hurt Ohio State in the process. This is exactly the reason we hate that team and program with a burning intensity like no other. They take refuge from any form of ridicule by hiding in past glories and infantile rationalizations regarding current failures. Oh it's bagmen and online classes and impermissible benefits and on and on and on. It never changes, no matter their state of affairs. So yeah, keep kicking their ass ... but NOT until they quit the sport. That's far to lenient for such asshats. Take the head-to-head record, the all time wins, the BigTen titles ... it all goes before they can "quit the sport". And when they DO ask to quit, remind them what Ward Manuel said ... and tell them NO.

I went ahead and fixed that for Ward.

We’ve been playing this game since 1879. 1879. We’re the winningest program for a reason because we play whoever is in front of us.
Michigan was 13-0-2 in the first 15 games against us, but since our first win in 1919, we're 52-45-4 against them (I'm including the 2010 win...fuck the NCAA). That's a year more than a century. We're also 17-2 since 2001 against them. We also have the highest winning percentage of any team of Division I-A football...any team. Michigan is fifth.

So fuck Michigan.

Your whore mouth. Shut it.

Take a knee? and miss a chance to hang 100 just because we don't want Harbaugh fired? What the fuck happened to the BP I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts?

"ooh we're afraid Jax, if Harbaugh gets fired the next guy might be competent.." Well not me. I'm not going to let up. Were we afraid when Rich Rod was replaced by Hoke? When Hoke gave way to Rain Man?

Hell no.

You hang that 100 and then you take that next coach, grab him by his ears and make him OSU's next bitch just like the last four.

You beat these fucking pricks and you keep beating them until they quit the fucking sport.

While I can see your point, I can’t wholly endorse it. I think this coach is the perfect man in the perfect place, at the perfect time. I don’t want to see it end. I wouldn’t suggest our guys take a knee for fear of losing him as OSU’s whipping boy. I am greedy with anticipation of wonderful days to come.

The fact that he has to get so upset about the subject, tells me all I need to know. I’d be much more incline to believe him if he just snickered and brushed it off. Guilty people always have to talk more than they need!

You get a chance to hang a hundred, you hang the hundred.

Doing it with a 2 point conversion as time expired would be the culminating moment of my time here on earth.

I would happily drop dead shortly after and go to meet Woody content.
