wow, bitter much?
haha best off topic post.
'Sandpaper to the groin'?? Why go there, seriously? I crossed my legs in sheer defense..
What the hell, Brian???!!!!
damn brian, who shat in your cereal this morning?
I would exempt Maize N Brew Dave's current countdown from the last criticism.
wow - 5 whole responses without the mention of an ordinal number.
Brian-Orson deathmatch?
I am personally enjoying maizenbrew's 100-day countdown to the season because it gives me something different to remember / think about with regard to Ann Arbor every day. If it wasn't something I was interested in, I would agree with the sentiment of the post.
Sorry about your RSS feeder, I guess? Not really.
Otherwise, good list.
7th!!!
there ya go. The world is back on its axis.
DAMMIT!
Sandpaper to the groin
This is why Boren transferred.
This is Barwis' method of punishment when he suffers a lack of bears to throat-punch.
eeeeee.
splendid
haha i love it
I thought the EDSBS countdown last year was brilliance and pick columns can be great if the author tries to be at least moderately funny.
I think #1 with a bullet on this type of list should be "MSM sucks bloggers rule I hate ESPN so much" posts (Fire Joe Morgan excepted here, since they are cosistently hilarious but then again there are no great blogs anymore but if they get cosistent starting pitching they will be ok and they are also good about not clogging the RSS feed) and posts comparing sports thing to pop culture thing (unless you are BHGP and it's the Big 10 as cars).
You also have a nation if everybody on your team is named Jordan.
Or Zimbabwe...
Just sayin.
What about having a nation if your alumni has an Alumni Club of the Moon?
re: sandpaper to the groin, don't knock it 'til you try it.
Brian's post had heart, but sandpaper to the groin had sandpaper to the groin.

What kind of grit are we talking about? I mean, a 600 grit wet sand powered by Erin Andrews might be quite nice. 60-80 grit however...

Wow. I'm glad my site is small enough escape the wrath...
Also, I am literally a card carrying member of Red Sox Nation (you get tickets when you join) and I am a prick. Or Dan Shaugnessy.
Hmmmmmm.....
wow, great post and I fully agree.
To be fair, the only person who uses the term "Spartan Nation" seriously is Hondo.
What kills me the most -- the blogs that contain posts using a "rating" system for cheerleaders of a particular school, which have comments associated with them like (from left to right, for example), "I'd hit it, pass, pass, hit, pass, pass." As though the 350-lb balding 32-year old guy sitting in his mother's basement making those ratings would even have a snowball's chance in hell with one of the "passes."
And Hondo needs to be beaten mercilessly by a band of orangutans. I caught a couple minutes of his "show" once and seriously considered puncturing my ear drum to make sure I never heard it again on accident.
brian, i still hate you for that video of Mrs. Boren and his daughters yesterday!
Excellent. On to the feats of strength.
As a so-called member of Red Sox Nation...I don't know that we should be exceptions. I'm not a card-carrying member, because I refuse to pay to have my legitimacy as a lifelong Sox fan confirmed by some stupid fucking card, and frankly, I tend to look down at people who are.
These are the pink hats, the people who show up with their Ellsbury shirts (I love Jacoby, but he is the quintessential pink hat brigade target of love) in the third inning and leave when the Sox are down by rive runs (or two runs) in the eighth. Red Sox nation as an organic way to refer to the legions of true Sox fans around the country is okay, but as a marketing philosophy and a way to squeeze more money out of the idiots who prevent me from having anything but shitty bleacher seats or standing room seats...fuck that shit.
"'BLANK Nation.' I blame the 2004 Red Sox and Kos for this. There is no Spartan Nation. There is no UAB Nation. There is no Badger Nation. Unless you are named Chad and everyone on your team is also named Chad, there is no nation for you. BLANK Nation jumped the shark two seconds after the 2004 ACLS. Shut up about it."
States are still OK, right?
So I take it Mustache Wednesdays are still ok?
"There is no Spartan Nation. There is no UAB Nation. There is no Badger Nation. Unless you are named Chad and everyone on your team is also named Chad, there is no nation for you....Red Sox Nation, and Red Sox Nation only..."
I agree completely.
"There is no Spartan Nation. There is no UAB Nation. There is no Badger Nation. Unless you are named Chad and everyone on your team is also named Chad, there is no nation for you....Red Sox Nation, and Red Sox Nation only..."
I second.
What ahh you bitchin fahh?
and leave when the Sox are down by rive runs (or two runs) in the eighth.
They have Asians in Boston, who knew?
@Anonymous,
Depends if we are talking states in terms of nation-states or a collection of states in a confederacy.
"There is no Spartan Nation. There is no UAB Nation. There is no Badger Nation. Unless you are named Chad and everyone on your team is also named Chad, there is no nation for you....Red Sox Nation, and Red Sox Nation only..."
Yup, we agree too. No more nations.
Charlie Weis is his own nation.
"There is no Spartan Nation. There is no UAB Nation. There is no Badger Nation. Unless you are named Chad and everyone on your team is also named Chad, there is no nation for you....Red Sox Nation, and Red Sox Nation only..."
We have enough nations. Brian is correct.
And the fake articles written by "athletes". Sorry KSK fans. Hines Ward and Eli Manning guest posts are funny(ish) once maybe twice. Speaking of jumping the shark.
/edit Pictures of J Lemen are always funny.
@formerlyanon: That was supposed to be me. Believe me, Iowa couldn't defend itself from the coming Missouri onslaught without the help of a confederacy.
That makes more sense... I almost referenced you as a matter of fact, but I figured most here would have totally missed the point.
And commenter names based on "Beaver" puns. They're so unorig...wait, you like J Leman pictures? Comment away.

Also, does UAB really refer to themselves as UAB Nation? That doesn't make much sense, when the term "Blazer Nation" is ripe for the picking.

Link to Zealot's preview where he said that. But to discount his usually great work, he said EMU won the Mid-Atlantic Conference. Wrong MAC.
You know that if Iowa had a qb commit named Beaver, BHGP posts would increase tenfold. I know it's not as original as a Dave Chappelle reference like your cohort, but I am only one man.

We already have an army, people.
Hey now, Stacey Dales deserves some kudos for being one of the rarest of species -- a WNBA player who is actually pretty hot. And probably knows a little something about basketball as well, unlike most of the ex-cheerleader types.
On second thought, the whole "___ Army" thing might not work in college football, b/c you could potentially have "Army Army" and that is just too much.
I was seriously half way through typing i wonder where dex is on this argument...

No it can slide this time.
It's going to be hard for all of you to forget about our army when we are slaughtering the undesirables in the streets on gameday though.
The revolution will not be televised, dex. Good thing BTN and Comcast can't get together, or it might bring your movement to a screeching halt.
@Slimey Sam:
DickRod has said he expects to have half the class signed by the end of the summer, so that would leave 4 or 5 more I guess, probably camp type offers. I'd be surprised to too many real soon.
And yes, I'm now referring to him as DickRod, just to take it back from all those jackasses who think they're so witty.
As for "Nation" I'm all for Beaver Nation. Oh, and Snatch Nation, to commemorate the South Utah State Snatches.

i saw the Q&A at MnB. i think a lot of people are discounting the quality of Ms top pitchers. Putnam is outstanding and fetter could be better. powers is lights out as a closer. we just need one more pitcher to show up the way burgoon did saturday.. if that happens, we should win the regional.
i was also looking at the roster the other day:
Leif Mahler***
Nate Recknagel**
Derek VanBuskirk***
the only Srs (elig) on the team. i know ZP will most likely bolt, but next year could be just as good, if not better if he stays.

Dissent. Charlie Weis is his own galaxy. He has attained critical mass.
Also, Brian's rant was okay, but it really lacked top-end snarkiness.
I'm glad his rant wasn't all snark - the problem with a lot of these blogs is that everyone is trying to be a comedian.
I just flew in from Deadspin and man are my arms tired.

@DanK,
I expect Powers, Putnam (currently top 50 or so players on BA board), Christian (currently #117 on BA board), and Abraham to be gone. After that kind of a crap shoot. Pitchers get drafted all the time, no telling if they stay or go.
Well I'm out for the weekend. Probably going to miss the whole regional. Got business meetings all day friday and saturday in exotic Gambier, OH. I might make it back to chicago in time for the Sunday night game, maybe.
I'll be around looking for comments when I get a chance (possibly all day Saturday if I can get wireless at meeting room).

Epic. No fail at all.
I think the way the Spurs were over the top gracious about the bad call at the end of the last game broke the whine-o-meter, sending them into some sort of uncharted passive aggressive whining by not whining territory. Or maybe I just can't stand the Spurs.
We'll miss ya, formerly.
I'm thinking of scheduling a "meeting" on State St. Friday afternoon at 2. Anyone know where to get EMU hats without heading all the way to the brick dick?
Agreed wholeheartedly on the whole Erin Andrews-obsession stuff. Most of these blogs are the ones that shame us with their excessive boobies. I've got youporn and pornhub(thanks to whoever suggested it last week) saved. Pics are a google away. Put some actual sports discussion up or fuck off. It's embarrassing to see hundreds of (presumably) grown men circle jerking to a cameltoe shot of Erin Andrews.
Don't mind the elbow rubbing, brah! It's inevitable!
Even Spurs fans are prone to say, "this team fucking annoys me."
I like Timmy D - I think he's great and his bug eyed act can't bother me if I'm going to admit to being among the biggest Sheed fans alive.
But how anyone on earth can stand fucking Cousin Balki is beyond me.

As a man that is systematically losing his hair, it gives me great pleasure to see the same thing happening to Ginobili. If Bowen shaves his head because he's going bald, that's just icing on the cake.

EMU hats at briarwood mall.
wow.... i wasn't aware christian, powers and AA were so highly ranked. there were a ton of scouts at the thurs M game vs Ill, but i assumed they were all there for ZP.
waaaay OT, but i came across this and had to say wow. softball recruit:
'Chidester led the state in several offensive categories last season, batting .703 with 90 RBI and 16 home runs.'
90rbi in 35 games and .703!!!!!!!! holy crap. .703, brah.... .703
Brah! DanK that's ridiculoous, brah! Fucking Derek Jeter clutch shit, brah! Fucking Eckstein with the game on the line, brah!
Hey Wolverine Nation! Only 93 days until the opener against Utah!! Hopefully Erin will be there wearing some skimpy tank top and tight shorts. I will get her to kiss me this year, thats a promise.
Ok, well onward to this week's picks. I had a stellar bowl season, so lets keep the mojo working! Lay the points with Cal over MSU and Missou over the Illini. Bama hangs with Clemson, so take those points. And, hey, I am feeling spry, I see a big big win for Wolverine Nation against the Utes. I know its a lot of chalk with three of those games, but I am one wild and crazy chalk eating motha today.
EDSBS is the exception to all of this. Orson is too funny and the main reason he does this is to make fun of the people who do this seriously.
i'm just sayin... i've never heard of anyone hit 700 at any level. not even the kid whose b-day is in Dec, is in 8th grade, is 5-11 and shaves... but still plays little league. not even *that* guy.
DanK,
Leave Drew Henson out of this.
One of my best friends is a Spurs fan (incidentally the guy who used to have VY in his bar all the time). Most of the time I'll root for a team one of my friends likes just so their life doesn't suck, but with the Spurs nothing would make me happier than to see them wiped off the face of the earth. For being not that passionate of an NBA fan I have an inordinate amount of hatred for that team. Charlie Weis could eat them all like the Stay Puffed Man from Ghostbusters and I'd stand and applaud.
Brian whines a lot.
Dex, c'mon don't be ridiculous.
yea, maloney signed 7 guys to take the place of 3 Srs. 2 SSs and 4 pitchers. they are losing more than just ZP early.
Why is NDNation not an exception?
They're cool...right?

@ DanK: Where do you find baseball/softball recruiting info?
Thank You
Thanks for the mall tip. I'll buzz by there tonight. I want to see Arizona and might as well support the county.
So, on the draft thing, I was reading Baseball America this weekend about regionals and read that draft prospects piece. I showed my daughter and she wanted to know if I thought they'd really go. I explained how they probably have a number in mind and would leave if they made it. She was stricken and actually cried. "We'll lose all our best players along with the seniors! How can we bear to go to the games?" I told her to buck up and that no child of mine gets to be a fair weather fan. We go and cheer anyway.
Nice. Handlejacked already.
GUYS
Damn it I just want to stick my 7 inch throbbing brown cock into Erin Andrews inviting pussy.
I just want to pump her, and hump her, and chew the shit off her nipples. I just want to nail her until her pussy is raw and she's crying for me to stop.
But I won't.

Mgoblue does their generic recruit bios when the signing periods end in every sport. usually i just skip or skim thru them, but the softball one was linked in a rivals baseball board.
Thanks. I don't suppose we'll ever hear about any of these guys (girls) before they sign a la football/basketball/hockey.
Are you guys homosexual or something?
Who else wants to bury their throbbing cocks into Erin Andrew's wet pussy, and make her squirt and moan like a dying bitch?
God I can't wait until registered comments. Does that mean there will be a moderator or something to that extent. I don't go to to many other boards outside of here and blogspot stuff so i don't know how they all work. Can someone give me the scoop on how Brian's new setup may work?
wow jacked already.

I have to protest the Red Sox nation exemption...I clearly remember hearing about Raider nation long before the term was connected to the sox. Then again it was actually RAY-DUH Nation and you had to have committed at least one felony and wear clothes with spikes on to be a member. I will also say I thought it was stupid even then...Sox and all the other nation's are annoying at best.
i heard about lamarre in an AAN article. i think he hit .550 or something in HS, but i've heard of that before. he certainly had/has speed and was considered one of the top 2-3 players in the state, if not #1 that year.
that girl that hit .703 is apparently the best SB player to come out of MI in quite a while. the real deal, and a catcher.
the baseball recruits, i don't know much about. the pitchers seem solid but are projects. certainly no ZPs in this class. that said, most pitchers at this level are projects and usually RS & blossom in year 2-3 a la Chris fetter.
Dess, that made my afternoon. Along with Dream Beaver, I am one happy woman.
There's definitely been some top-end hilarity on here today.
In semi-related news (just because I'm a sardonic bastard and find this utterly hilarious. Sad, but hilarious nontheless....) according to CNN two teenage girls were maimed by a train today when they FELL ASLEEP WHILE SUNBATHING ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
Ninja-
I went for a jog earlier, and I was down on the tracks near Gandy Dancer (If you're familiar with the Ann Arbor area) and thought 'hey, it'd be kind of nice to jog along the tracks' Then that good ol' survival instinct kicks in and says THAT WOULD BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE!
And my ex-girlfriend said I could never please a woman....
Dess,
I used to jog along the tracks all the time, but never with a headset on and always for short periods between trails. But SUNBATHING ON THE TRACKS? REALLY? AND YOU FELL ASLEEP? I'm sorry, but i have no sympathy for you. For the engineer driving the train, yes, but none for you. You should be slapped with your new artificial leg/foot each and every morning you wake up for the rest of your life.
Ooo ooo oooo Dreeeeeeam Beeeeaver, I believe we can beat Penn State at niiiiiight.
DreamBeaver | 05.29.08 - 2:21 pm | #
This is absolutely f*cking hysterical.
Above mentioned tracks
From my jog today, absolutely gorgeous out!
how about an All-Lloyd Carr Special Teams?
KO - Jay Feely
PK - Remy Hamilton
P - Zoltan Mesko
KR - ? (Anthony Thomas?)
PR - Steve Breaston
LS - ?
Yeah Dess I take back all the bad things I said about this state sucking sdo much. I forgot how nice spring could be. My ex-GF and still one of my great friends lived right down by there when we werre in school. It's a nice area.
The best KR during the Carr Era has to be Breaston. His 05 Rose Bowl was incredible, and it started with his great returns. The only guy that probably comes close, if i can recall, would have to be LaSeuer?
Actually, it's not even close.
How can you give "Red Sox Nation" (whatever the fuck that is) a pass but not "Raider Nation." I'm pretty sure the Red Sox were still busy sucking ass when "Raider Nation" was coined.
Well PR has to be Chuck. And there just aren't that many that stand out at KR. I'm excited to have a bevy of options now, b/c I'm sure some of these Ninjabacks are gonna end up being badass return guys.
Breaston for both return men. Woodson was great too, but Breaston's numbers were phenominal.
Which reminds me, does anyone else have nightmare flashbacks of Lloyd Carr trotting out return guys with casts and/or heavy bandages on their hands to handle kicks? Unless I am hallucinating I could swear that happened on multiple occasions. This also used to happen with tight ends (can't remember who) but they would go out on pass plays with freaking casts on their hands and the QB (Navarre?) would toss it to them and it would inevitably doink off of their cast. I'm not imagining this stuff, right?
Yes! He mentioned Dan Shaughnessy, the worst cocksucker in Boston sports.
Oh, and I'm back from vacation.
medals,
Woodson really only had the one return. He hadn't had a return over 15 yds (maybe 20) all year. Breaston by a huge margin.
@medals
I distinctly remember Tim Massaquoi playing TE with a cast. Carlos Brown might have tried to return a kick with one as well.
@dex
Thanks. So I'm not crazy. At least not b/c of that.

Hey, I got my EMU hat at the mall (it will come in handy on "dress as your counselor day" if nothing else after the Regionals).
Saw whole flocks of Arizona baseball players, including a foursome coming out of M Den. I gave them a tiny ration of shit, asking if they were getting M ball caps. They replied with politely derisive "No way!"s. I suggested they needed souvenirs, and one pointed out his backwards Tigers cap. I told them to have a good time in Ann Arbor, but not TOO good of a time.
Wow...didn't know there was so much dissension among my fellow Michigan bloggers?!
I'll head back to my nation tail between legs.
Phil Steele has Penn State at #10 in his pre-season rankings.

Dang, Brian. It might have been ok if you'd been paying the least bit of attention to DawgSports lately ... as in the past eight months. Obviously you missed the fact that Kyle expressly discontinued "cheesecake" postings some time LAST SEPTEMBER. Besides, Davis appeared specifically in connection with mentions of Rutgers (as she is an alumna), in much the same way Kyle frequently places pop-culture images (including those of the non-cheesecake cariety) to accompany bits in his posts. Corny, sure. But there's never been a "boy, I'd bang her" suggestion from Kyle.
If you're not paying attention, you really shouldn't comment.
Cheers!
What about Hayden Epstein for PK? I know Feely was great, but I remember Epstein being awesome.
P.S. I almost said "Desmond Howard duh" for PR and then punched myself in the temple.
Musket Rebellion, Feely never kicked field goals. He was the KO man. I might be willing to say Epstein for KO, except...
Hayden Epstein lost all rights to ever claim any kind of kicking accolades when he made the trip out to UCLA in 2000. Missed PAT + two misses inside 30 = 3-point loss, even with a freshman backup quarterback who played shitty in his first big game. Epstein's FG% was barely north of .500 that year. Epstein will always be a huge douche in my book.
The Heisman pose by Desmond = automatic pick as PR
with massive apologies to Breaston. Actually, I think Tyler Ecker should be the kick returner!
Desmond can't be the pick as he never played under HC LLoyd.
JHS you're the reason I cry every night

That make Jimmy Clausen hats?
ziiiiiiiiiing!
For some reason I was thinking Woodson was awesome all year, but maybe it's just revisionist history on my part- kinda like that model who's world I rocked back in '97 too.
I love to read these comments while at work, but I am probably already on the IT department's watchlist for visiting a site that throws around terms like "circle jerk" and "Justin Boren's vagina" with reckless abandon.
I can deal with that, but reading the comments while are work seriously hampers my ability to respond. Take the post from earlier today:
i'd eat pudding off erin andrew's back.

Of course when I see "pudding" and "Erin Andrew's back" in the same sentence, I immediately think of about a dozen NSFW responses. Damn you Big Brother!
JHS you're the reason I cry every night
Sorry.
Brianna,
You're no better than the people you're calling out, who actually run good blogs.
This blog blows, just like the Michigan football team.
kudos to comment regarding the simpsons' football to the groin.
also-- carr special teams all stars would have to include phil brabbs. i mean, who else had a more intense 15 minutes of fame at michigan? anyone?
I hate when the sponge I'm using in the kitchen sink starts to get that nasty odor that won't come off your hands no matter how hard you wash them. But the sponge looks perfectly fine and the idea of throwing it away seems wasteful. Once the sponge is stank can it ever be de-stunkafied?
^^^^^^^^^
while AT work . . .
And Dwise - how sorry must your life be to not only read a blog that supposedly blows, but to take the time to comment on it as well? Nobody is making you stay here. And if you are going to be a troll, at least have the stones to tell us which team you support.
Sorry Anon, it is kind of like Britney Spears - once the stank gets in there, it is permanent.
I could warm up to Britney's stank right about now.
Why does everyone underrate Rivas? Statistically, he was the best FG kicker in not only Lloyd's career, but in Michigan history. Maybe because he didn't have great leg strength. Maybe because he missed a "clutch" kick once or twice in his career. Maybe because he's fat.
You can destankify a sponge by putting it in the microwave for up to two minutes. Make sure it's wet or you'll incinerate your sponge and your whole house will smell like skank. If you're Lindsay Lohan, it's probably too late for that.

Good post. Seriously, Erin Andrews?? For the life of me, can't understand the attraction--if you look, she's not really pretty at all... she's one of those girls that the first glance is great, but then you look closer and realize she's just ok looking.
First the gerbils... and now he constantly talks out of me? This sucks.
You know what I hate? Bloggers who tread water by filling with (mostly) humorless "Things I Hate" entries.
Geez, lighten up (I'd add "Frances", but I know that would open me up to the "And-I-hate-commenters-who-make-hackneyed-
references-to-old-movie-lines" response.) So let me just stick my chin out by paraphrasing Billy Joel: You may be right [Brian]... But we were only having fun/ Wasn't hurting anyone/ And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change.
p.s. Hat's off to jamie mac @ 3:24 p.m.
I just got back from the Palo Alto Denny's and the Jim Harbaugh Scramble isn't half as good as it looks on the picture menu.
I forgotted about UCLA. Mainly out of thinking, "Goddamnit unhealthy Henson" the entire game.
@Brian

Jay will appreciate this - I was playing Baseball Mogul last night, and in the 1995 (or 94, can't remember) Amateur Draft, I selected Jason Grilli - who my scouting department said could develop into a 95 overall rating.
That would be a 95 overall rating for suck.
That spurred me to look at his Wikipedia article, and color me surprised Jason was an extremely highly touted prospect coming out of college - 4th overall pick in 1997 (he had been drafted in 94 but opted to play college ball for Seton Hall).
I didn't know Randy Smith got a job with the Baseball Mogul scouting department. When all else fails, make a trade with the Astros.
You can never trade, and trade for, Brad Ausmus + CJ Nitkowski enough times.
for the record, Raider Nation, as in the Oakland Raiders, was around long before 2004
hai guys does ne1 know nething about "raider nation" i dont think its been mentioned but i heard they also call themselves nation ?confirm/deny?
I could never be a part of Raider Nation. I can't imagine belonging to a nation whose leader is a complete idiot who craps his pants routinely and when he speaks scholars cringe.
Fuckbeans, nevermind.
Damn. You're really young to be this bitter.
It's the stress of the off-season, isn't it?
Me, OTOH, I am old enough to be this bitter. So kiss my patootie, I agree with everything you've said.
I think.
Joe Mama, good point! Those WD bikini countdowns were quite inspirational.
Musket Rebellion, Feely never kicked field goals. He was the KO man. I might be willing to say Epstein for KO, except...
Feely DID kick FGs. He was our long FG guy in '97 (I forget the name of the short FG guy), and then he was our main PK in '98.
Kraig Baker. That's who the short-FG guy was in '97. Anyway, I looked up Feely's career numbers on the Mgoblue statistics archive. He was 20-26 (76.9%) on FGs, with a long of 51 and 42-43 on PATs.
