About as predictable as the Spartans going 4-0 to start the season and finishing 5-6, Bob.

So true. They do have a way of getting your hopes up:

Winning the road opener…

In South Bend…

Year after year…

Surviving through September without a loss…

Only to crap it all up in October and November.

It’d be much better on my nerves if they’d just torpedo the whole thing on the first trip out of town every year. Sort of announce to the world right from the get go: “We have zero intention of competing for the national championship this year, so get over it and enjoy the rest of the season!”

That’d be much more compassionate. Maybe you know what I mean.

Holy moly! I don’t think I can take that much crappy “broadcasting” in one booth, on one telecast. Musberger drives me nuts, and Davies is an absolute idiot. Musberger doesn’t know when to shut up, and Davies hasn’t had an original thought in, well, ever.

Methinks BIGMIKE Big Blue Fan! Could be wrong, but good ol� Meechagan plays the likes of Vanderbilt and Central Michigan to �warm up� for Notre Dame. The sandwich then develops some meat, aside from the Indiana and Ball State games before the OSU game. I count four (4) craptastic games on the Michigan schedule. Just enough to get the loyal Maize and Blue all charged up before LLLLLLoyd brings them back to reality. If this ain�t the pot calling the kettle black, what is?

This is year #2 for the University of MsChicken doubling up on the MAClings. It’s part of a secret plot — nearly consumated last season — for them to win the MAC championship and go to the Motor City Bowl.

And btw, they do sometimes take a breather from their Irish beatings. No games for 2000-2001, 95-96, 83-84, etc… (2001 was another season of doubled MAC opposition).

No wonder. The outcome of Michigan trips to South Bend are as predictable as the latest remake of King Kong visiting New York.

Harvey Wireman:

It is awful to read your flirting attempts, if that is what they are, on this thread.

Stick to someone your own age, such as Tallulah Bankhead, Gloria Swanson or Ethel Merman.

This is one of those “buddy of mine” stories but …

A buddy of mine was attending school in Baton Rouge and was in a local sportsbar the Friday before a big LSU game. In walks Brent Musberger and entourage.

My buddy’s friend screams out at the top of his inebriated lungs, “HEY BRENT!!!”.

At which point, Musberger stands up with that sh%t eating grin already to sign an autograph or something when the original guy screams, “F%CK YOU!!!”

The bar apparently erupted in laughter and Brent meekly sat back down acting as if he didn’t hear it.

I despise Brent Musberger.

I believe that Herbstreit will be joining the ABC telecast when the Gameday site happens to coincide with the national ABC game that night. It doesn’t preclude Gameday from going to SEC sites.

I was out of the loop, so apologies on the lateness of this point. But doesn’t the article state that ESPN’s “College Gameday” will be at these ABC primetime games? If that’s correct, this means the end of Lee, Kirk, and Chris at ANY SEC games. Should I be dancing in the streets to this news, or upset about the [continued] future ignorance on the part of ESPN and the rest of the media to SEC football, when compared to other conferences?

A massive, coreographed electric slide from the PSU student section would totally mess with Henne’s head.

Hell, the MBAs alone would at least force a couple of overthrows.

PSU Girl:

Ordering the dance floor for the 12 hour tailgate?

Gotta learn the robot, worm and country line dance steps first!

And invite women with flat butts, since you sound like someone who has some pretty goood junk in her trunk!

Ron Franklin, currently also under the employ of the Mouse, will be there to rescue a Sat. night Musburger self-dug grave in ‘07 – book-it.

Franklin is theeee best in the biz, partner, and btw, Musburger’s Chicago guy (disgrace,) so why the f*** does he cacle “Podnah!” anyways?

[...] This is an outstanding move for ABC/ESPN, and a better move by the Big Ten for more national exposure. Also a keen decision by Disney to take three ND games away from NBC. It was always disappointing that by 2:30 CT, the majority of conference contests were already finished before I finished lunch. [...]

Thanks for the following:

“NBC Sports is run by syphilitic monkeys”

Finally, it all makes sense.

odell: you think brent “and he’s gone…..for a 2 yard gain” musburger pulls for tOSU? every indication i have ever got was he always is pulling for michigan. i recall one broadcast he wore a blue coat and maize tie. i could be wrong as i’m usually drunker than him by gametime but that’s my thoughts on him.

and as for scheduling, hopefully soon people will think of boise state like fresno state. i can only hope.

That’ll lead to the audience getting damn drunk. I’m not sure I’m up for the challenge of Musburger and Davie in the same booth.
