line opened at nd -1.5, shot right up to 3.5/4.

this is one of the juicier betting events of college football (per sopranos, hopefully christopher has his sports book in order this time... oh wait), so a ton of early movement isnt surprising.

gameday will be in AA for the game.

michigan won last year in south bend, didnt lose anyone except the coach and mouton, while nd lost their TE, golden tate, and rb. im liking michigan here, and surprised by the line, but whatever.

small chance i might go back for the game but looking unlikely. tickets are 300 and hotels are sold out in ann arbor.

I'm taking UM in another 4 point win.

Obama the Great asked:
Hey coach, what has been your biggest success at ND: 1) stonewalling the sexual assault case of the girl who ended up committing suicide, 2) not having the kid who died in the scissor lift despite days of high speed winds stick to you, or 3) getting away with letting Crist play with concussion symptoms and a history of concussions?

i luld at this one


jendimd asked:
Do you think Crist is playing poorly because he suffered permanent brain damage after you let him return to play despite suffering a concussion during your loss to Michigan last year?

Whats the criteria for spreads?

the criteria is just the differences in the final score. doesnt matter if the teams are really good at just defense or offense. total difference is ultimately the only thing that matters.

Im picking up my tickets tomorrow and I'll be honest, I'm pretty geeked for this game. I almost feel bad that Im getting the tickets for face value because my cousin just didn't know any better, but I wasn't about to complain and throw more money his way at all. Ingalls Mall will be hosting GameDay and now I just need some suggestions as to what sign I should make................gimme your best shot boys!!

Local hack on the radio asking the question, "Who's under more pressure this weekend, Brady Hoke or Brian Kelly?"

Gotta be Kelly.

not even a debate.

Just noticed the caps in the thread title. Creeped out.

Sign at Gameday set:

Tressel dots the i in "LIAR"

lol

the line is settling in at nd -3.5/3.

Wearing my $cUM jersey out to lunch today. There better not be a Kmart Sparty dipshit there to give me shit, or I just might have to put my finger in his chest.

Pkshh!

If UM's going to win, it's going to be Shoelace doing the damage. I think he'll need to account for at least 3 TDs.

Fearless prediction:

UM 34
ND 28

Just a SWAG, though.

I probably just watched too many 9/11 specials last night, but I can't stop thinking that if somebody wanted to try something, conditions at The Big House are pretty favorable.

I'm sure that security is tight as hell, but I'm distracted by the thought nonetheless.

Goosebumps.

It never fails.

UofM losses this one.

I'm actually feelin' the $cUM unis. The Iri$h's not so much.

Reesus.

the d-line is generating little to no pressure.

Why can't it be like the Lions'?

Jesus Christ, why even bother...

What a buzzkill.

Been looking forward to this all day and this is what we get?

Time to get drunk.

Fuck a Hoke.

Apparently that's not Rob Halford after all, it's "Pit Bull".

One of my dogs just shit on the floor and started eating it before I could pull him away. I thought that pretty much summed up Michigan so far this game. If you blitz your ass off just to cover up a lack of talent, a semi-decent team ready for it is going to own you IMO.

That's more like it.

Too bad we have Detard, RIGHT??

ND is fucked. We have Detard.

Actually got time and made a decent throw, too. smh

THINGS THAT ARE BACK: DEFENSE IN ANN ARBOR

Yo, not even kidding. Denard looked like McNabb on that play or something.

I LOVE THIS TEAM

I HATE THOSE REFEREE'S HATS

^
Hater.

Damn, for a second there it looked like "Uncle Mo" was still on "our" side.

Maybe it is.

is Kelly's face red yet?

LMAO

Hey, this defense looks decent when they get turnovers!

I just claimed some quality RTs with a Crist pun, lol.

C'mawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn D!

BLOCK THAT KICK BLOCK THAT KICK BLOCK THAT KICK

I must be hungover, cuz this game seems so boring.

You go Denard.

Seriously, this should be a ND romp right now.

Fucking Hemmingay. How'd he even catch the ball and score on that one play?

I said it 2+ years ago, and many mocked me, Denard should not be a QB. He should be returning kicks and be a QB/RB in some wildcat packages.

Mich, 31-30.

Remarkable if ND only comes away with 3

Game over.

Hate this team.

Fucking Leyland.

NFL IS BETTER THAN COLLEGE ANYWAY

I said it 2+ years ago, and many mocked me, Denard should not be a QB. He should be returning kicks and be a QB/RB in some wildcat packages.

Bench him?

Who's the backup anyway?

Holding on... Manningham?

That was pretty interesting. Too bad Denard's going to fuck it up with a pick in the endzone.

Hell of an effort just to get it to the 6-inch line.

EAT SHIT TAHOE!!!

Fucking catholics.

My team may be losing. But it's Saturday night, the wife/kids are in bed, and I'm firmly situated in the Vortex.

Life ain't so bad.

DROB!

Holy luck.

EAT SHIT TAHOE!!!

Fucking catholics.


No way I'm eating shit. D said it was terrible.

Holy luck.

this

That egg/bacon sammich from Dunkin Donuts looks incredible right now.

And I'm not even hungry.

I bet dadboner adds would add ketchup to that egg/bacon. take those flavors way out of bounds.

Notre DUMB LOL

Oh yeah, and fuck you glan.

I think I'll take that Fuck you Glan back today cuz he deleted all that spam. But its back on tomorrow.

:we: have 6 first downs. Total.

Trying not to be optimistic.

SHANK YOU VERY MUCH

UM: "here bros, take this game"

ND: "No u"

Brent isn't bugging me tonight, but he needs to stop with the Bo references.

Brent's a big gambler, wonder who he went with?

G,

you ready for THREE HOURS OF BOOMER tomorrow?

That wasn't Braylon vs. MSU-esque, but it was nice.

Got some work around the house to do so I can be ready for 1 pm. Will prob sleep til 10 first, though.

I don't watch ESPN's pregames anyways.

HOLDING ND!

Kids haven't used the pool for 2+ weeks, time to shut her down.

Is Floyd the guy that has a few DUIs?

Take a shot every time you see Kelly ask Reese what he's doing. Doofus.

Kelly has the red face goin on.

This whole QB-calling-timeout thing is becoming an annoying sports cliche.

SEVEN NATION ARMY

Cue the Oak Ridge Boys!

Damn it.

Is another turnover too much to ask for?

Fucking bullshit.

Fucking morans. Put the ball at the 2-yard line? Nice. Nazis.

Guess he misspoke.

LMAO @ ND

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Thanks, Glan.

Is another turnover too much to ask for?

NO

Turning it over is dumber than holding.

yep yep

Fuckin Muffburger didn't even know made the tackle.

I'm gonna go hit the closet and look for some adidas garb.

There we go.

FUCK YES

woot

I'm half erect, let's go the whole 9 (inches).

LMAO @ $cUM

DRob has made some bad choices and gotten away with them, but not that time.

I'm half erect, let's go the whole 9 (inches).

LOL

And I'm flaccid.

Both of these teams are retarted.

It's The Retart Bowl.

Between the Toledo loss, this loss and Lane Kiffin winning, I'm about ready to give up NCAA ball for the year.

Lovin the vortex, tho.

Swardson is terrible.

Who thinks that guy is funny, besides Dan Patrick?

Kind of late to blow that whistle, huh nazis?

That was scary.

4th and inches.

Made it by a dick

Remember, folks: the yellow line isn't official!!!!

Hope it doesn't come down to the kicker

OH BABY!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOO

So frickin cool

leggoooooooooooo

RIC FLAIR

still gotta deal with Floyd

FINANCE THAT BITCHES!

@Mateen_Cleaves: This is some bull #%^*.

Clearly held the jersey. Can't complain about that one, but still... damn.

HORSESHIT!

Grabbing of a jersey is a gray area.

GAY area.

Grabbing of a jersey is a gray area.

"they're going to call that one every time"

Would another turnover be too much to ask for?

No surprise.

Oh man. How can you let that guy get that wide open?

Well, we didn't deserve this one anyways, but it still hurts.

:emo kid:

Dumbest defense scheme call that I've ever seen. NOT ONE DUDE BACK.

Not saying play prevent, but that was fuckin stupid.

lol Brent.

Not like Rees was aided big time by that penalty or anything.

can still beat the spread!

What a great kickoff.

Fire Fattison!!

OH SHIT!

ARE YOU FUCKING KITTING ME?

unreal

unbeeweebable

These teams always play great games

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOLOO>OLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

That has to be on ND.

MICHIGAN WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST GAME EVER FAGGOTS

I just cried.

OH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Hangover = GONE!

Fuck you Kelly!

Somebody find my prediction for me I CAN'T REMEMBER IT

First the Inge walk-off, which I was there to witness live, and now this. Wow.

Still got Ravens/Steelers tomorrow, too. Nuts, man.

There are two teams that I really enjoy watching lose in horrible fucking ways, and ND is one of them

LOL

I'm taking UM in another 4 point win.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I didn't completely discredit that with some of my posts.

Still in awe.

Lol, Denard averaged 30 yrds a completion!!??

How about Hemmingway, 55 per catch or something.

Tirred as hell, but too pumped to sleep.

Might look for some old time rasslin on the tube.

You got a channel for me, Tbro?

i'm pooped

So that's a no?

NO-tre D-ame

stolen from twitter

Hey, I'll see what I can conjure up!

"Dew Tour" on USA.

ww

Repeat of "That Metal Show" from 2008, lol

Monday Night Raw is on "UHD" whatever that is

Gonna go delete a few more spammers then head to bed.

click clack

i love america!!!

usa! usa!

Wow. ND and UM are two very, very bad teams. MSU is going to beat the hell out of both of them.

Wow. ND and UM are two very, very bad teams. MSU is going to beat the hell out of both of them.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

almost every thread on msu's message board is michigan related. you can practically smell the jealousy.

oh, hey bucky.

But, but Florida Atlantic!!!!

And it was on ESPN2!!!

pretty much blacked out for last 5 minutes of the game.

got to find the game online, so i can watch it again, and again, and again.

http://historicalhistrionics.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/commodus-is-bored.jpg

lol. that was an awesome game, you faggots.

Whatever. I realize UM won, but it was obvious to any objective observer that UM and ND are very bad teams. I have read a couple of comments that stated the game had the real world football quality of a game played on XBox by a 14 year old boy.

Enjoy the win because the only thing worse than winning that game would be losing that game. But don't kid yourselves, UM is going to get its ass beat soundly by MSU, Iowa and Nebraska and will lose the majority of the following games; SDSU, Minnesota, NW, Illinois and OSU.

UM will continue to get better under Hoke, but the days of UM football providing worth to the miserable lives of its fanbase are over. You will have to find another vehicle for you vicarious yearnings.

dude, your 14 year old boy fetish is not cool.

i thought this was sort of cool.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX5JNRvx0dg

That is cool.

Muffburgler is terrible.

What I'm still trying to figure out is how Jeremy Gallon got so wide open on the 64-yard catch and run that set up the game-winning touchdown. When during Sunday's conference call it was suggested that Notre Dame had blown a coverage, coach Brian Kelly said: "So you knew what the coverages were?"

Lol, ok then. If leaving a guy 20 yards open was part of the coverage scheme my next question is "When were you told you'd been fired as head coach of ND's football team?"

Kelly seems to be approaching Lohn L. Smith-dom.

Wow. ND and UM are two very, very bad teams. MSU is going to beat the hell out of both of them.

this one is like a fine wine, it'll only get better with age
