DAILY AFFIRMATION: DAY 19

http://info.detnews.com/pix/sports/2007/um/um_mediaday08062007/2007-0806-dm-ummediaday0280.jpg

Contrary to the popular opinion, Carr is not really THAT much of a curmudgeon. I mean how many head coaches let their players choke them ? I think that the fuming anger is a way of working the refs… like get 2 seconds so that we can defeat teams like Penn State. I mean our record would be like 3-5 against PSU in the last 8 years ( instead of 8-0 ) if LC didn’t work the refs.

I hope the following Daily Affirmations have similar coach stereotypes.
" In 18 days, Charlie Weis is coming to eat your baby. "
" In 17 days, Tressel is coming on your teenager."
" In 16 days, Pete Carroll will sell a car to a car salesman. "

Looking pretty loopy. Not long ’til Lloyd starts looking for BRAINS!

You know what…..Loyd doesn’t have time for this shit either….

Get the hell off his lawn and stop suggesting we run the shotgun. When the Gerries were blitzing we sure didn’t run the shotgun, you mangy brat. Now cut me a switch before I box your ears.

Tacopants, I agree — the image of Lloyd as a cranky old tightwad is a major misconception fabricated by people outside the program (whose only images of Lloyd come from his Saturday tirades against the refs and curt responses to halftime questions from reporters). Still, it’s fun to play up.

Please don’t start with the OMG ref conspiracy. Remember that JoePa argued for 0:02 in the very same game, not three minutes earlier.

Curmudgeon Motors? Shouldn’t it be Lloyd’s Carrs?

Michigan AD after a particularly insidious sex scandal: “Listen, Lloyd, I want you to put all my files, folders, binders, everything into a box! If you find a used condom, an executioner’s mask, and a fucking spike paddle, don’t think, just pack that bitch! Chop suey!”

1. 1, don’t you mean at day 17 Tressel is “coming on to” your teenager?

re-reads… ponders… re-reads again…

No I guess it is correct as written. Carry on.

Nick Saban doesn’t have time for Lloyd Carr or to have his picture taken for such measly crap.

The Orgereon does, though.

My favorite Lloyd Carr moment is when he gave ABC’s Todd Harris the death glare after Harris asked him why he kneeled before the half. (I think it was OSU-Mich.)
Oh, and the time he acted like a whiny bitch when UF got to the title game. It took too much energy out of him and he obviously was unprepared for that USC asskicking.

Re #3: Is there any way, any way at all, we can get Carr and Saban together for a not-having-time-for-this-shit contest? The coach empirically proven to have the least time for this shit wins.

As if there is time for that shit Doug.

Coach Carr only gets cranky when people fuck with his nap time and Mrs. Carr forgets to pack his favorite lunch of Tunafish and Chicken Noodle Soup… oh, and when sideline reporters ask him retarded questions.

By the way, if you are watching a UM game this year, take a drink everytime Carr says “Well…” when answering a reporter’s question. You’re guaranteed to be drunk by the end of the interview.

mlmintampa:

This is all the press could get out of Carr:
“I just think that based on some of the comments the Florida coach has made in the last two weeks, he has been campaigning strenuously for a berth in the championship game and making some statements about Michigan that I think were inappropriate.”

Hardly sounds like a “whiny bitch,” especially in contrast to the huffing and puffing of Gary Danielson and Urban Meyer.

But the Todd Harris death glare was classic.

Carr was anything but whiny with respect to the BCS championship last year. He dealt with the situation really well, if you ask me.

Oh, and if you really want to get drunk during a Lloyd Carr press conference, drink every time he says “tremendous.” You won’t make it past the first question.

hey lloyd….does bill belichick know you’re raiding his wardrobe???

He dealt with the situation really well right up until kickoff of the Rose Bowl, must have been nap time.

Come on, he started off his Big Ten Media Day press conference talking about his punter!

The thing is, he’s not even the most curmudgeonly coach on campus anymore.

I’m kind of sick of hearing about the Rose Bowl. It’s not as if Michigan got its doors blown off from the opening kick. The game was tied at 3 at halftime, and USC made some outstanding second-half adjustments against Michigan’s admittedly weak secondary. Michigan failed to adjust, and as a result they got spanked in the second half. (Breaston’s late, meaningless touchdown is the only thing that kept the score even marginally close.)

That is one of the weakest defenses (no pun intended) I’ve ever read. So a team has to be dominated from the opening kickoff for it to be a true asskicking? I admire your devotion to your team, but some battles just aren’t worth fighting.

Re #’s 13 & 15:

Wouldn’t that make you eligible to then coach Michigan football? (see Coach Moeller)

#5, Dang. I just wanted to irk our PSU brethren commenting here but looks like they are a non-delusional bunch.

Lloyd’s been there like 12 years now and there are still times when I shout something derogatory about Gary Moeller, freeze, try to remember Lloyd’s name, and then just continue with my Moeller diatribe.

michigan fan dealing with people making fun of lloyd carr:

“well, if you realize that his past behavior isn’t exactly indicative of his resent behavior, you’ll see that a man frequently referred to as ‘grouch’ is in fact a nice loving man, ergo those of you who believe in the position that is often repeated ad nasueam are in fact erroneous in your analysis of the disposition of a terrific and wonderful coach. perhaps if you weren’t such a blind invertebrate you would be able to see the problems in your (conversation continues for another 30 minutes, several words looked up in dictionary, etc.)”

Ohio State fan dealing with people making fun of Jim Tressel:

“FUCK YOU ASSHOLE”

In 19 days, Michigan fans will become overly defensive about their football program.

Oh wait, that’s today.

hahahahah

that’s EVERY day.

Great job of photoshoping Burgess Meredith into that Michigan garb.

1. 22 — As a Penn State fan, and to quote Bill Lumbergh, “I’m going to have to go ahead and sort of…disagree with you there.”

If the shoe was on the other foot in both 2002 and 2005, UM fans would be howling in protest, too. And it’s arrogant to dismiss others as “delusional” — every team has been jobbed at some point.

HERE lately he hasn’t had time for a bowl win.

Dammit, I’m gone one day and I missed the Michigan affirmation.
I like Coach Carr. Class act. And has the death glare.
Nuts to you all.
Go Blue !

“Oh, and the time he acted like a whiny bitch when UF got to the title game. "

classic! funniest thing I’ve read today!

now get the hell off my lawn.

I don’t think anyone is saying that Lloyd’s a mean, crotchety old coot, just a gruff man who might talk to reporters or endorse a dealership, but dammit, doesn’t have to pretend he likes it.

When Orson called him Grumbles the Sea Captain, I laughed my ass off. It’s close enough to my understanding of Lloyd, and hilarious to boot. His comment about his halftime adjustments being a new pair of pants and a cup of coffee also ring truer than I’d care to admit.

The people who are calling him whiny are seriously deluded or lazy. Michigan fans may have been whiny, but Lloyd didn’t campaign one bit.
