A good morning to reflect on college football

Leaders and best my arse.

very nice, you know the fight song!

osu fans might not know about touchdown jesus.  They say it is the statue outside of the stadium, it helps them win games.  And it does, but it is not the statue, it is in the hearts of the refs!  True story.  Ask anyone in Michigan.  We used to play them U of M then MSU week 2 and three every year.  Seen a lot of bad calls down there.

Natt I do apologize for being so gruff.  A famous coach (my memory fails at the moment) stated that you should not place yourself in the position of making an officials call influence the outcome of the game.

Means.....to win you have to outplay your opponent. A game lasts four quarters.  And I am NOT a hater of Michigan.  Never was.  I am a big fan of former Coach and AD Bo Schembechler and of OSU of course.  I appreciate College football

period.  Next year OSU will play the U of M at their stadium.  In the SEC I like Tennessee, in the PAC I have no favorite..  I respect the Army- Navy game greatly.  College footballs' traditions and rivalries will always

foreshadow anything the NFL has.  I am not a Notre Dame fan but have attended a few games there.  When you hear the Notre Dame fight song played and sung in that atmosphere, it raises the hair on the back of your neck,

even though one is not a Fighting Irish Fan. Tradition..anywhere, embrace it.  It is what College football will have forever over any NFL team.

Why do you like Tennessee?  They are the worst - I hate everything about hat team, down to that stupid ugly orange color and that fried chicken eating fat Phil Fulmer.

"Yesssss . . .The sourness and bitterness flows strong in this one."

Why does every Michigan fan play the "our teams should have won, etc"? 

I didn't see any of that here after the Iowa game.

Stick to spamming the general discussion.   Because the only ones being sour and bitter are the ones deflecting turnovers and choosing to place blame on refs.

It is great.  I get older and it stays the same age.  I look forward to Michigan playing notre Dame again in the future.  It's a shame they have astroturf, the cold mud was a notable element.

Well, this got awkward quick.


I'm here to tell you the OSU-UM rivalry pales to the Iron Bowl....  <ducks>

Nothing awkward here, as they have never interacted with in game.   But enough of that hilarity.

UM-ND is a bigger one IMO.   Big 10 conf. head dropped the ball in eliminating the game, although it will return in 2018 for two seasons.   My guess is they will re-kindle that rivalry, which never should have stopped. 

It is merely one thing to discuss football, but when some choose to plug their ears, it ceases being a discussion.

Excellent.  Make a different irrelevant point and change the subject.

You, sir, are a debate master.

[NatCigg]

Don't mention 3-16 on third down, they could brig up Rich Rodriguez.  8 sacks...Maybe we go back to the final score before they start talking about our sisters.  You know how the like sisters.

No.   You and your faithful sidekick have spent three pages blaming the officials for losing a game.   Iowa should have been a win and there was no excuse for losing the game.   You lost, just like you lost to OSU.   I shouldn't have to type that a 10th time, so there is no changing of the subject.   Nor should anyone else.   Meanwhile your sidekick needs to resort to emoji's and gifs.   Let me know the year you graduated from UM.   

There is no debate here.   Most of us, even if not UM fans, obviously watched an entirely different game than the two of you.
