Game Thread THE GAME, 11/25/17 @ 12:00 ET (FOX)

[cincibuck]

One of my favorite stories about The Game came about in 1955. Ohio State had won the Big Ten a week earlier, but they were inelgible to go to the Rose Bowl because they had gone the year before. Michigan and Michigan State were tied for second place, but the wolverines had defeated the sparteans in their head to head match. A Michigan win or a tie would send them to Pasadena. Word leaked out that the Wolverines had already begun to pack equipment for the trip.

Fullback, Bob White led the Bucks, grinding out more than 160 yards and the team kept taunting the Michigan players with chants of "Unpack, unpack, you ain't going no where." The 17 - Zip victory meant Sparty got to go bowling while the wolverines stayed home.

Guys, one of the (possibly un)written rules at BP is that family members are out-of-bounds for ridicule.

In the last few hours, it turn out that that crying kid video is Harbaugh's wife and son. She made her choice but he did not.

My attitudes toward anything to do with the TSUN sports are well known. However, I think that even for them, families should be off limits. Please keep this professional and leave the kid alone.

Could I just add that while I do not take delight in any kid crying, I strongly suggest that he is left at home next week.

Understood! I just thought it was worth pointing out. No shots at the kid moving forward. :cheers:

The father is fair game.

Right! I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 9 yrs. old, and my family was listening to the game on WBNS radio. The announcer (I think it was Bill Corley), highly amused, reported that the D-line was saying "Unpack, boys, unpack", much to the chagrin of *ichigan's O-line. Great memories!

Well duhhh. He has his own glorious thread where we shit on him on the daily. I didn't see anyone make fun of the kid. We made fun of his dad, the kid was just a prop. But fair enough

Also, the crying kid? Apparently that’s Jim Harbaugh’s son:

Poor looks like he just found out Harbaugh is his father.

Yeah, on this guy's TV show:

I take great delight in seeing the child cry. He's being raised wrong. Then again I'm morally flexible and emotionally void at this point in my life.

Sunday of Hate Week got me like...

if children don't want adults making fun of them, then they should stop acting like stupid idiots.

yeah, I mean for fucks sake we have a guy who thinks it's a bad idea to wave to sick kids

maybe we are being to hard on ourselves? I mean, it is after all Harbaughs kid and they are remarkably resilient and all that.

Vote?
