I'm enjoying the experience of "The Game", and it is interesting to note the differences with our own rivals. Now, I am not saying anything pro or con about the different experiences, just comparing.
To old Gators like me, there is nothing better than to hate the worthless butt sniffing leg humping poodles from Georgia. Their long run of success in the 70s and 80s still remains some of my bitterest memories. There is no such thing as "class" when the WLOCP is on: you ruts, and you call a time out with fifteen seconds left to see if you can throw a Hail Mary for a meaningless padded score, and call an on-side kick, recover and yet another Hail Mary. More importantly, you expect the same, and it is considered whining to complain about it. You should take a knee on other opponents when you are ahead, but not those ass-holes. Too many memories of smelling the breath of drunk mutts barking in my face - right before the fight breaks out!
Now our jealous little brothers at FSU are not our main rival. It annoys them that we deny that we are their rival, as we do not value them that much to be our main rival. True, it is an in-state heated deal, but they will always be the secretarial college to us.
Which brings me to my point. Does the hype over (indeed labeling it) "The Game" bring too much honor to Michigan by the recognition of the importance of the game? That whole honoring thing where you judge me by the greatness of my enemy?? Since the skunk bears are the scum that they are, do such actions (for minor example, the poli-board shut down) bring too much attention to them, thereby giving them honor that they do not deserve in a left handed manner??
Here I await the instruction of my BP friends to enlighten me.:scum3:
