YOU MADE YER POINT, CHAD! The first two times.

“Dicks also win football games much of the time”

AMEN! Maybe WVU and UM can just do a switch-a-roo. Morgantown can take Richrod back and UM can have their old, happy grandpa-figure back in Bill Stewart.

See, there’s three kinds of coaches: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along whether you win or not, and dicks just want to fuck and win all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn’t fuck the assholes, you know what you’d get? You’d get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

Didnt McMahon once mention in an interview that he violated every one of BYU’s rules?

I don’t think Michigan practiced last year, so can’t they just average the 2 years to stay under the NCAA limits?

As soon as Rodriguez starts getting his type of student-athletes into Michigan, the program will start winning again. All he has to do is get the future Pacman Joneses of the world past Michigan’s admissions.

Very Michigan-like, Once their team starts to lose, start up a welfare/social-justice type media campaign indirectly criticizing all the other teams with rigorous offseason training regimines.

Best part is when they complain about players being too tired to stay awake in class… What?! An undergrad who falls asleep in class?! What a joke…

Tenting fingers, tapping them together.

Adhering to the NCAA mandated “no more than 20 hrs of practice a week” rule is like the
55 MPH speed limit. Sure its, there, but only in theory. Obviously, whomever the student athlete making these allegations is surely a in law school. ……The Accident-Injury -OSHA Law School….and will be dealt with. I am sure Barwis, right now, is finding ways to waterboard these players til they get some info, or beating them with bags of oranges and tomatoes so he wont leave any bruises. And when they find him, it will be the worst sort of “blanket party”.

Is it a surprise that Michigan, in a Union dominated state, has it’s players complaining about “unfair” work hours.

Kevin @ #3…wonderfully stated analogy…I’m going to have to work that into conversation at some point…I will give you credit.

gtne 91 @#4…yes.

ahahah @#8…throw in the moral equivalency card, and mention the social/professional failure involved in being caught drooling on your desk while napping and you’ve got a fun case…

A “Union dominated” state? Wtf does that mean? Do you mean that it’s in the North? Why wouldn’t you just say that? Who the hell thinks in terms of the “Union” anymore. This is fucking America we’re all in the Union.

I quit paying attention to the new Michigan regime when I discovered this Barwis clown previously had pet wolves.

Pet. Wolves.

As in “I have a one-and-a-half-inch-penis” pet wolves.

Your hour is up. That will be $395, sir.

1. is either a mediocre joke or epic reading comprehension fail. I can’t call it.

Can anyone define what emotions DickRod was going through during the press conference? I couldn’t tell whether he was about to start crying, go into an angry Gundy-esque rant, or turn into a towering, crying Hulk-like creature that screams loud, vague coachisms about the unity and potential achievement of his team and demands reporters do toe-touches until their spines turn into peach Jell-O.

Tom, a little punchy for a Monday morning, aren’t we?

I think Kevin @ #11 meant “union” not “Union.” As in, the union issues that ruined GM, Detroit, etc.

If that’s not what he meant, then well…I have no response.

#13

That wooshing noise is you missing the point.

Union dominated isnt a civil war reference, its a UAW/AFL-CIO/Teamsters reference.

@Tom: Easy big fella, I think we’re talking about UAW type Unions, although good ol’ fashioned “War of Northern Aggression” fights have been known to break out here on occasion.

For all the generic “I don’t want to be the next Percy Harvin, I want to be the first Andre Debose” rhetoric, he seems to be following in Harvin’s footsteps being up on blocks in the shop before even playing a down. Hopefully there is a positive correlation to fragility and asskickedness. Wonder if he gets migranes?

Tom, I meant organized labor. You know, the people that turned GM from a car company to a health care provider. However, I hope for your sake you didn’t see I was from the south and just assumed that I’m bitter over the outcome of the civil war.

 But, the south shall rise again, I do declare, ah siiiirrr.

@ 12… I wish I could take credit for that analogy but it was adapted from one of the greatest pieces of cinema that the world has ever laid eyes upon, Team America: World Police

damn being slow on the draw

Crabapple Buck -

You forgot the drawn-out

“Exxxxcellent…”

followed by an evil-sounding chuckle.

;-)

Now do you people see what I’ve been trying to tell you aboout Michigan fans? Thanks Tom, for being a reference point.

How screwed is Michigan if their players are willing to talk to the media about violation of a tit for tat rule that I can say with comfort is blatantly violated across the board. The NCAA is hating that it may have to start enforcing this because they know that its virtually impossible to police and completely impractical anyway. Call me when money, cars and/or real estate start changing hands but don’t bitch about a practice that is too long – you could always just quit and pay for your own damn education.

“Now do you people see what I’ve been trying to tell you aboout Michigan fans? Thanks Tom, for being a reference point.”

If the full complement of moron Bucks fans actually were both literate and internet-enabled, it wouldn’t even be a contest. The ones who don’t have internet at home are too busy jacking off in public libraries to let their ignorance show on football message boards.

YDD -

Maybe the “Harvard of the Midwest” can join the Ivy League and we’ll get the Big Ten back to 10 teams. Unemployed, bitter and losing doesn’t isn’t any way to go thru life young man.

…waiting for Sub-commandante Wayne to break into the conversation here…

Also, wasn’t one of our whistle-blowers a transfer to “IT’S THE BIG TWELVE!” Colorado?

My favorite quote on this whole thing comes from Jonathan Chait, senior editor of The New Republic (in an article where he says Rosenberg’s editor should be fired):

“The key concept behind his allegations of rule-breaking is “involuntary.” Players can work out as long as they want. It only breaks the rules if the players are being forced to work out beyond the allotted time. Rosenberg filled his article with quotes from Michigan players describing how hard they work. It’s meaningless. It’s as if he set out to expose an epidemic of rape, and came back with an article mainly describing the conjugal relations of happily married couples."

Um, GM mismanagement brought upon its bankruptcy. It needed to make better products and negotiate better deals with the labor union. It didn’t. Is that the union’s fault?

Organized labor brought us the weekend and increased the standard of living in this country, ladies and gentlemen. As the labor unions have declined, so has our standard of living. Hate on, if you care.

“As the labor unions have declined, so has our standard of living.”

NONSENSE. Next.

Kevin @#20…thanks for the cite…I was wondering who Chuck was…

from Tom @#13…“never mind.”

Sean F @#29…thanks for the political comment, and while I find it speciously simplistic, we’ll have to agree to disagree.

@ Sean F.

Union companies like GM have to sell less car for more money to make up for the billions of dollars they’re giving in pensions and health care to former union workers. So, they couldn’t afford to make a high quality automobile because they would have to price it so high it wouldn’t sell in their target market.

There is a reason manufacturing in the midwest is going down the shit hole and industry in open-door states are doing well in comparison. And, thanks to OSHA and other gov’t programs, the whole reason unions were formed, became a gov’t issue, so unions could only fall back on the higher wage arguement. Another thing, do pro-union people not see how much bank the union themselves are making. They have become richer and more powerful than the corporations they “protect” the American workforce from.

I mean, when it boils down to it, would you rather be laid-off from a $30/ hour union job at GM, or still be working at Toyota for $25/ hour.

So did the Union soldiers belong to a Union? This makes my mind ache……

Actually, if you read Tom’s comment and use the War of Northern Agression Union, its kinda funny….unless he is a Yankee Doodle Dandy…..

The irony here is unions and Mormons are very similar. However, Teamsters just don’t have to wear specific underwear. Oh, and Teamsters did not get a “word from God” in 1978 stating black people are now eligible for celestial heaven.

Teamsters – 1
Mormons – 0

…politics always fucks up a good rant…and I actually enjoyed the shift in perspective necessary to extrapolate Union of states from a labor union reference…the complexity of the human mind simply amazes…

…and out of sheer boredom and a late “end of the month”, I have before me a classic Gimlet…two and some-odd ounces of Tanqueray gin and two thirds ounce of Rose’s lime juice, shaken and carefully placed in a chilled cocktail glass…tangy and tart, yet slightly sweet and the familiar character and effect of the Tanqueray enables the above mentioned ability to shift perspective dramatically more easily…another day in paradise…and its still Monday!
