I hear from a lot of friends and fans of the blog that I have an “abnormal” hate for the Domers (JEEZ I HATE THESE GUYS!) and that hate should only be brought out for Sparty and the school from ohio….
Well, let’s see….Brian Kelly goes on record saying that, “Michigan isn’t one of our Big, Traditional Rivalries….”
RIIIIIIGHTTTTT!!!!!!
And USC is just a silly little school that used to produce okay tailbacks….And PSU is just a small institution that used to know how to make a player into something called a linebacker….and…well, I could go on. But Brian “Dolt” Kelly needs to check and see if he can hear the own BS that comes out of orifice he calls a mouth on his face on occasion…
Speaking of “Dolts”, get a load of this:
Now, I’m
not saying the Domers can’t spell…NOPE-NOPE-NOPE….Not the FMQ. The MMQ might go so far as to say something
like that….So what do the Domers do? They ARE GOING TO SELL THESE CUPS AT THE HOME GAMES UNTIL THEY ARE SOLD OUT! The FMQ will go out on a limb here and say that if I had been
the head of PR in Domerland (which, by the way…I wonder what color the sky is
there?), those cups might have found their way to Belize, along with the Ass Hat that proofed the spelling….You know, when you
need to get rid of a problem, Better Call Saul.
And Walter White….
But I’m sure the PR figured, “Hey, one day this will
be a collector’s item worth BIG BUCKS on e-bay…And we could say a couple a
thousand of them and sell them 10 years from now and turn a profit!”
Idiots…..
And
finally, here’s a nice little summary that some Domer Jack-Ass put together in
a totally unbiased fashion. Read it if
you dare, but I will state right now that many of the facts are taken out of
context and there were multiple reasons (and some of them are still valid) as
to why Michigan and the University of Chicago did not want the Domers in the
Big 10 early on.I have offered up numerous incidents of how the current fan base, students and administration have an incredibly poisonous view of the Michigan Wolverines and the B1G in general, even though the events of yesteryear are far behind us. While it is what makes the rivalry great, it also makes it that much easier to hate ‘em right back. In fact, when the time comes and I have to meet my maker, if I’m lucky enough, and he asks why I hated the Domers so much and that my hatred may be something that keeps me outside of the pearly gates, well, I guess I will have some serious thinking to do….
But until then, I can hate them with every bone in my body and every blood cell that pumps through my veins…
And yeah…I hate the suckeyes and Sparty, too.
Just for fun, let’s review some of the series most recent memories…
Timeline
– Michigan vs. Domers
1.
Let’s start with the most recent Big Game
first: 2011 Under the Lights! The beauty of winning a game like this in
this fashion is it completely and unequivocally rips the hearts (and balls) off
the Domer fans that wear the Blue and Gold is when Michigan beats the Domers in
the last seconds….heh-heh….kind of like when they used to do that to us years
ago with some kickers and field goals….But De-Rob, Gallon and Treezy all made
history Under the Lights in the last 1:41 and it was truly magical. If there is a God, he was there and he was
enjoying it.
2.
2010: Denard Breaks Free! If there is another game where the Domers
figure, “It’s in the bag!” and then, suddenly, almost inexplicably, its not…well,
its got to be this game and De-Rob breaking one off for 75 yards in the 4th quarter. I’ll never forget this as the previous
scoring play was a long bomb and NBC took the opportunity to show a rainbow
that had appeared at the same moment. They
forgot to note that the rainbow appeared to the NORTH of the stadium….Over
MICHIGAN! Another great point in this
game is D-Rob and 500 yards of offense…hee-hee…
3.
2009: Oh Tate!
While he wasn’t with us that long, once again a frosh QB with a throw to
Greg Matthews rips the hearts out of the collective Irish throats and leaves
them wondering….”What in the Hell just
happened????”
4.
A
2nd 38-0 Game Can’t Be a BAD Thing!
Circa 2007…..While both teams were O-fer on the season, Michigan’s
losses were much, much better than the stumbling Irish. This game wasn’t even close and was probably
the final undoing of C-Weis…..Even though he coached another couple of seasons….
5.
2006: The Mighty Quinn GOES DOWN! This had to be one of the most lopsided
blow-outs of the series, with the Domers FAVORED at home by a TD. I remember studying the players and games
prior and I had NO IDEA where Vegas was getting that number from. I honestly believed that the wise-guys were looking
at last year’s 2005 Wolverines when setting the line….2006 was different. And this game was the statement of that
difference! Super Mario had 3 TD’s on
the day from Chad Henne and all talk of “Quinn for Heismann” ended.
6.
38-0
… 2003 Style! This was another single
digit spread game at the Big House and I wasn’t entirely sure where that spread
had come from, either. Again, after
reviewing the initial games, both teams had strengths and weaknesses. But Lloyd fixed his a LOT quicker than
Losingham could even begin to identify his…..
7.
1997 21-14.
This win was sweet and it was a lot closer than the score
indicated. The Domers had shots in the
North End Zone late in the game…Three shots if I’m not mistaken and the 1997
defense led by Charles Woodson, Glenn Steele, jones, Ray and others took
command of that game and came into their own.
The Domers can point to this game as the beginning of their end for the
next decade….
So,
yeah, I hate the Domers. But I LOVE IT when we beat them!
On to this week’s picks! I’m going all over the place this week due to the fact that spreads are HUGE and I’m still not sure where things stand for all teams. One game does not make statistical databases. So, seeing as how we’re in the green, let’s spread it around and see what happens. This goes against our initial premise of a slow grind….But hey, I’m playing with house money now!
OSU
(-27.5) vs. SDSU: I watched part of the
Buffalo – ohio game and while the suckeyes didn’t look bad, they made a lot of
silly mistakes. I hate to do it, but my
guess is Urban Legend fixes that in short time and the suckeyes come out
rolling in this one….
Take the
suckeyes and lay the 27.5 for $75
Okie
State (-26) vs. Texas San Antonio Somebody….:
Look, Okie State’s DEFENSE might be able to come out and hang 26 on this
team. I have a feeling that the Cowboys
go for style points this week.
Take
Okie State and lay the 26 for $75
USC @
Georgia (-3): I can’t fully understand
how a team that got shellacked by a team the prior year (35-7) is somehow this
season a 3 point favorite at home. I
mean, I get it’s a revenge game….But still….So what does Vegas know again that
I don’t? I’m so tempted to take the
Gamecocks here and the 3….so I will PASS
Oregon
(-22) @ Virginia: I actually went, “REALLY?????”
when I saw this spread and kind of did a double take. I mean, this is Oregon at Virginia. Oregon who was a Stat Monster last year and
went double digits against the number…..Yeah, If I'm a Duck, I’m liking me some Cavalier
Meat on Saturday….
Take the
Quack Attack and lay the 22 for $75
Western
Kentucky (+12) @ Tennessee: I haven’t
picked on the cremesicles yet this year, but Bobby Petrino has already beat 1
SEC team and my guess is he isn’t going to let this SEC team get that far out
in front of him. I like the Hilltoppers
and the points in this one.
Take WKU
and the 12 for $40
Cincinnati
(-7) @ Illinois: Wow…A B1G team getting points
at home from a Beast team? Is that even
possible? While Tubberville’s Bearcats DESTROYED
Purdue last week, I want to believe the Illini aren’t the pushovers that the
Boilermakers are….Therefore
Take the
Illini and the 7 for $25
Navy @ IU
(-12.5) : This spread made me sit up a
little in my seat when I saw it. First,
I didn’t realize that IU was returning 19 starters. 2nd, any team that hangs 75 points
on someone is going to get the FMQ’s attention and more than likely a little
cash thrown their way come the next game.
So, that being said,
Take the
Hoosiers and lay the 12.5 for $25
Domers @
Michigan (-3.5): I normally love Michigan
as the dog in this one, but alas, they are the favorite. However, I’m pretty sure that’s how the team
is looking at themselves, as the dog, this year in this game. After last year’s South Bend fiasco and 6
turnovers (let’s not forget 5 INT’s in a row), all Michigan has to do is make
sure they hang on to the damn ball and they will have a chance….I’m not sure
the Domer defense is that good and Rees is, well…..Rees.
Take
Michigan and lay the 3.5 for $40PARLAY! 6 to 1 Payout if it comes home!
Okie
State – suckeyes – Ducks for $40
