“Mickeys or Old English”

“When I was in school it was Busch Light Draft...:)

I'm older now so it's Guiness on tap or Anchor Steam (my home brew out here in SF).”

“and, my apologies about the bottle comment...I was thinking of the old bottle version...they used to be horrible.”

“Oh that's OK. It is a bit more coffee/lichoricey(SP?). Have you ever tried Boddington's Pub Ale in the nitro can? First time I got it I saw how blond it was and thought, "Crap, it's more like American swill.", but it was a good strong brew with a toch of honey at the end.”

“Good choice on the Anchor, Bongo. The Porter and Liberty Ale are pretty good too!”

“Gotta talk Harp when you're talkin' Irish beers. It's a good everyday ale.”

“Notre Dame fans drink Little Kings...

ADMIT IT YA TOUCHDOWN JESUS FREAK!”

“Ah Little Kings! I remember many a Saterday mornings as a teen waking up to find myself in a strange place and the webbing between my thumb and index finger shredded from opening 20-30 of those little bottles. Then I got smart and bought the 40s of Genessee Cream Ale. LOL!”

“"Ah Little Kings! I remember many a Saterday mornings as a teen waking up to find myself in a strange place and the webbing between my thumb and index finger shredded from opening 20-30 of those little bottles."


I am so relieved to find out I am not the only one who has experienced this. I haven't had one in many, many years. Mainly because I think I would puke if I ever had another.”

“Are you nervous yet? Big day tomorrow in the swamp.”

“Somehow arky, I find my self nervous every time I watch Claussen play.

I think it will be a classic win for the Vols if Casey doen't do anything incredibly stupid.”

“The question on every college football fan's mind is: How will Kansas fare against Jacksonville State? I know this game has all of you sitting on the edge of your seats. Calm down. Kansas will be looking ahead to Missouri, but should take care of business.
(psst, Chili, the key to beating the Gaiters is the passing attack in the fourth quarter. They fold like a house of cards.)
Did you hear that UCLA has the worst offense in all of Div 1? That is almost impossible to believe, given that they have been known for great offenses in times past. Oklahoma should roll, if defense wins games.
Texas will romp and stomp to get the bad taste of putrid pork out of their mouths.

How are the Scarlet Knights doing? The beer bet is looking like it could go down to the wire.”

“hogs...


man, i love football!”

“"Low brow mouth breathers"

ive never understood that phrase. why is it a bad thing to breathe thru your mouth? i suppose if a fish called me a mouth breather, i might feel like i should have been insulted, just like if tiger woods or lucy liu called me round eye or sitting bull called me paleface.”

“Chili, I'm with you on Claussen. Even though he will probably break some UT records I've never had much confidence in him.

Stratdewd, I was in your neck of the woods last night. We called a football game at Greenland & then went to Jose's for some tasty grub & Newcastle.

Dunadan, Rock Chalk Jayhawk!”

“Woo-hoo!! Final from South Bent: Spartans 22, Fighting Catholics 16”

“You need to move to Mt West since you can't beat MIZZOU. Of course, we barely got by MTSU today. And I live in TN!!! When am I glad they won. But it is a "W" and we ARE 4-0. Go Tigers!!!”

“Dodder, you might be right about the Tigers beating the Jayhawks. I will wait and see next Saturday. I have tickets to the game, and I'll tell you if your team is for real or not.
Congratulations, Chili. The Big Orange came through.
What happened to Kansas State??? Marshall????
Colorado got spanked again.
Notre Dame looks like they will have a tough season.
Good luck you Hog-lovin' fans. I think you should have an easy one.
Soooooeeeee Pig!”

“Michigan - Quack, Quack, Quack - When we play ranked teams, we beat them (Notre Dame doesn't count because they were highly overrated as usual). BTW - Nice running game.

Kansas State - Next to Norte Dame, the perrenially over rated K-State falls for MAC powerhouse Marshall, who, coincidently, was beaten by my Rockets last week. This exemplifies how overated the Little 12 is.

Georgia - Mauk you Bulldog Fans! Great game though, tough loss, and props to LSU.

TheOhioStateBuckeyes - Still undefeated after beating the nations best offense with our back-up QB.


See you in January Oklahoma!”

“And how could I forget!?

Noverated Dame - They now make Jesus look over rated. And just because you have an Irish American QB named Brady doesn't mean you'll win. I only hope Sagrin will rate my Toledo Rockets higher than you this week. You suck!”

“Net Yards Rushing - 4
Rushes - 17
Avg. Gain - .2


NICE STATS!”

“NC State and Washington, the two ranked teams the Buckeyes defeated won handily..... I wonder how far we'll drop in the polls this week? Maybe Michigan can jump 4 more spots and ride the "we beat Notre Dame" wave of BS again.

Hopefully the pollsters will have FINALLY learned thier lesson.”

“Lobos put the hurt on the Cougars, but the Lobo offense couldn't get it done in the second half.

Lobos Drop Hard Fought Battle to #24 Washington State


The University of New Mexico could not hold onto a 13-12, halftime lead and dropped a hard fought battle to #24 Washington State 23-13, at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington.

”

“Nobody has been really inpressed with the Little 10 either. I am glad that K Sate got beat. But watch you Big 12 comments until your Duckeyes...they have also Ducked some bullets. But I am still your Big 12 buddy.....We haven't been 4-0 in how many years?”

“Chalk one up for my Alma Mater, making me proud - beating Pitt (yeah, I called em' Pitt, not Pittsburgh)

Dayhiker - N. Illinois? WTF!”

“Good gravy Buddha! You beat BG! The only reason they are #1 in offense is because of the devision they come from. You beat (barely) the big fish from a little pond...at home. It was still a weak showing by the Bucks. If they squeek by when they play the little boyz what the hell they gonna do when they get into the meat of the Big 10 schedual?

The Ducks were ready for a running game but we still should have beat them. No excuses. No getting around it. Michigan got beat. You won't hear any crying from me. I just put the Maze and Blue back on and look to bext week.”

“Stratdewd, I was in your neck of the woods last night. We called a football game at Greenland & then went to Jose's for some tasty grub & Newcastle.
Arky


DOOD! i was AT that game! my best friends kid is a SR for greenland! ya'll made some crappy calls! LMAO! j/k! remember that wide reciever that blew out his knee? that's really gonna hurt them the rest of the year. he was one of their best players. wish i'd known you were there arky, geesh. i would have let you buy me a chimmychanga....lol”

Michigan Rank - 5

Beat - Notre Dame 38-0
*Notre Dame barely beat Washington State, and was beaten my mediocre Michigan State.

Michigan Rank - 3

Lost to Oregon - 31-27
*Oregon beat Miss State, UNLV(who are having a great season, Arizona(powerhouse).

Michigan Rank - ?

Summary - you played one good team and got beat.

Ohio State

Rank - 2

Rank - 5 (below Michigan)

Beat Bowling Green 24-17
*BG had beaten E Kentucky, Liberty and Purdue, and was #1 offense in football. (They didn't play anybody from division they came from, and held the #1 offense after beating a very good Purdue team)

Rank - ?

Conlusion -
1. Michigan has played only 1 decent opponent, and look at the result. The bucks beat all opponants, 2 being certifiably viable (Washington, NC State) and one being viable (BG).
2. Ohio State is undefeated.
3. Ohio State is defending National Champs.

Please, no more talk from Nigal until OSU drops a game, or you beat us.

Thanks you,

The Winners.”

“1. Big Ten - Despite B-10 powershouse Michigan falling to Oregon, we still have 3 teams in the top Ten, 4 teams in the top 25, and two more teams about to join the top 25 ranks. In addition, we are playing a solid scedule in preconference games (including many under-rated MAC Schools)

2. SEC - 2 teams ranked in Top Ten, and 5 in top 25. Huge interconfrence battles hurt this conference, just like the big ten, but when it all shakes out, they'll still be number #2 overall.

3. Big East - 2 in Top Ten, 3 in Top 25, with a few more on the way.

4. Pac 10 - 1 in top ten, 5 in top 25. Big win over Big Ten team (nice job Michigan!) is lending the confrenece credibility.

5. MAC - 1 team in top 25, but if the dolts that vote in ranking knew what they were doing, Bowling Green, Toledo, Marshall and Miami (OH) have just as much right to be ranked in top 25 as Florida or Missouri.

6. Big 12 - 1 in top ten, 5 in top 25. Nothing but falling stars here, and perrenial overrated teams (with the exception of Oklahoma). Nebraska will be the next to get whooped. OK will have a tough time chocking, since they really don't play anybody good until they meet the Bucks for the Championship.

7. 1 in top ten. So much potential, so little results.”

“Haha! Some people can paint a rosey picture from anything.”

“I'll bet that Nigal becomes a duck hunter this season. In fact, there will likely be no ducks left in the state of Michigan after that game. DUCK!!!!!!!
Hey, BB, you forgot to mention up and coming Kansas University. The Jayhawks are 3-1 and pummelled a team that pummelled one of your beloved ranked Little Eleven teams.
NORTHERN ILLINOIS. I guess there's nothing else to say.”

“I'm starting to think the 0-3 DAWGS may not have a very good season this year.
Nawwwww, they'll turn it around yet.”

“"I'll bet that Nigal becomes a duck hunter this season. In fact, there will likely be no ducks left in the state of Michigan after that game. DUCK!!!!!!!"

Oh no, I'm not from Michigan. I'm from Ohio. Shooting ducks? Oh no. When Michigan gets beat that team has gained my respect, not my ire. This of course doesn't apply to OSU however.”

“Man, Nigal. What kind of fan are you???? Respect?

Just kidding. That's a good attitude you've got there. Why can't you root for the team in your state?”

alllllllllllllllllllllabama


father goose, bite my ass cuz bama's in for a butt whippin this time.

disclaimer; father goose is really cool and i hope to hike with him someday but he's the only alabama person i can think of so this week he's MY BIOTCHHHHHA!


HOGS RULE ALL MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE AND I LOVE FOOTBALL ! ! !”

““That's a good attitude you've got there. Why can't you root for the team in your state?"

Ohio State fans are the worst fans I’ve ever seen. The fact that they have to burn shlt and riot win or lose is a testament to that. The last game I went to at the Horse(shlt)shoe the OSU fans were yelling at us to go back to Michigan, throwing beer cans and flipping us off. No respect. I have been to a lot of Michigan games and met some great fans. Penn State has the best fans, bar none.

OSU player don’t even seem to respect the tradition of the two school’s rivalry either. It is a longstanding tradition that when OSU does happen to beat Michigan the players are given a charm of a pair of football pants with the year on it. Recently one of last year’s charms went up on E Bay and hit $1,000. When school officials said if it was a current player there could be NCAA sanctions, it disappeared from E Bay. No respect.

I do, however, hold great respect for Tressler though. He is a straight shooting, no BS coach.

It ain't just a game...it's about tradition and respect too.”

“State Penn won and Army (drum roll) lost.”

“I am sure that somewhere, on his roadtrip, as he meanders up through the Appalachians,,,,,he can hear the sounds of.....


Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top,,,Ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top,,Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop,,,I still dream about that

Rocky Top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top Rocky Top, Tennessee, Rocky Top, Tennessee

Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top Looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top,,,Reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top,,Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top, Get their corn from a jar

* Refrain

I've had years of crimped up city life,,, Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life ,,Can't be simple again

*Refrain”

“Chili, you should get a kick out of this. Our GM is from Florida & has 2 kids at UF. One of our salesmen is a diehard UT fan much like yourself. This morning there was a 4' x 6' UT flag hanging in the GM's office.

Sratdewd, I thought I heard a familiar voice cussing at me Friday night.

Dayhiker, you & me next old buddy.”

“You have a heck of a salesman, arky.

I might drive over there to get my next vehicle.”

“LOL Chili. He said come on over. 2 of his boys are named Peyton & Tee.”

“3-1 Tunacan?

I'm gettin' thirsty!”

“Looks Like Bammy heading below .500 this week my friend, then on to UGA.

At least you'll ride that losing ship all the way down. Most of your Bama cohorts are already jumping off the Shula bandwagon.”

“Back to Back losses to Tulane, Houston..... I think Vandy has been replaced in the SEC cellar.”

“The Dawgs a'int doing too well right now.
1-11 looks like a real possible season. We'll beat Bama though.”

“well, ND took one on the chin with ol' bongofreek in attendance. It was a painful game.

ND has no offense, and while the D played pretty well, you can't keep them on the field for 3/4 of the game and think they'll find a way to win for you.

I think it is time to bring out the freshman QB and let him learn this year. It's going to be a long one for the Irish...


It's good to see K-State get exposed for the fakers they are...they couldn't even beat the one legitimate non-conference team they scheduled at home this year.

OSU sneaks through on another one. It's funny to hear all of the crowing coming from BB. You just barely beat a MAC team. Get back to us when you run the table on the Big Ten again, if you do, then we'll give the bucks props.

Oh, Nigal's comments about OSU fans being the worst in football are dead on. They need to act like they've been there before...instead Columbus turns into a war zone if they beat Michigan 1 year out of 6.”

“I'm behind reading up on this thread and will catch up. I've been on the road a good bit here lately.

Tough weekend for the Tide. I'm glad it wasn't on TV.

I'll be hiking this weekend and won't get to see my beloved Tide eat pork. It should be a great game. I'll watch the tape on Sun night after I get back from the Smokies.”

“Not so fast, Fiddle Boy! The Jayhawks are just now getting into the conference schedule, so there's plenty of losing to be had. Go Scarlet Knights!
Dayhiker, that was a REAL evasive post you just made. I think you DID read this thread and can't take it. Buck up, my man. Do you think Kansas can get Bama on their schedule for next year? =)
Cocoa, glad to see that you can still find the guts to post on this thread. I like having more guys to talk to whose teams are rebuilding. There's light at the end of the tunnel.
Bongo, I couldn't agree more. I like Holliday, but it's time to look to the future. This can't go on, or Willingham will be in danger of losing the job. I hope they come through because I think he is a good coach.”

“Yeah, Dun, he is a good coach, and in person, you can see how the system on offense will work if you have a competent QB running the show. But right now all people have to do to stop ND is put 10 guys in the box and blitz every passing down. Holiday (who I do think is a good guy) just can't make the reads or the passes he needs to. And Quinn can. And I think the team knows it.

Ty is starting to feel the flames from the ND faithful...we'll see if he can deal with sweating a little. The thing that really saves him in my eyes is that "his" guys--the freshmen and sophmores he's recruited all look really good.”

“ND has very little patients for non performance.”
