9/20/2019 – Stop It!

Well now that the first three weeks are over let’s see how I did… Michigan wins but the fan base is still BPONEd* -checkish more on that later. Illinois lost eliminating a bunch of people, check. MSU… we’ll get to that. The #TeamChaos prediction was wrong for 2 reasons.. A. Ohio State changed which week they decided to get drunk and not show up just to spite me… and 2. We have a new #TeamChaos! So… Let’s get after it!

12/5/2018 Part 2… More Michigan

Back to the offense for a minute:  I admit that earlier in the season I was one of the idiots bitching about the boring offense (especially during Northwestern and MSU).  In fact I think my dad was getting a bit annoyed by my comments and may have “politely” and possibly correctly asked me to shut up*.  And while I would still like to see more down field attempts and some creativity… Here was the key difference in our mindsets.  He wanted to win.  I wanted to win by 50.  I was wrong.

11/9/2018 James Franklin and Paul Chryst

And we’re back!  Where were we?  Oh right… my two favorite non-khaki wearing FBS Head Football Coaches.  Let me start out with this: Paul Chyrst and James Franklin are excellent coaches.  Chryst has won back to back Big Ten Coach of the year awards at Wisconsin in 2016 and 2017.  He split the title in 2017 with… guess who… James Franklin.  Wisconsin was excellent last year and should have been even better this year.  One disappointing season (They could still end up with 10 wins) does not change my opinion* of your coaching ability.  James Franklin took over a program that should have been all but dead after the biggest scandal in NCAA history**  He turned that program in a team that won the Big Ten in 2016, and should have won in 2017 and should have gone to the playoffs at least one of those years.  They are both good coaches.

11/7/2018 – Do You Ever Wonder Why We’re Here?

Hey! It isn’t plagiarism* if you can’t tell which of the many possible sources I stole it from!**  Anyway… I hope you all enjoyed last week’s new content type!  Sorry it took so long… I had to re-learn how to use Photoshop (actually Gimp because I’m cheap… Donate more money and I’ll be able to afford the real thing!)  Also I had to learn how to draw.  I’ve got some more ideas for comics and/or comic related t-shirts so stay tuned for that!  But for now: let’s return to your regularly scheduled rant!

10/17/2018 Beabout Guest Post (Sorry U-M fans)

So what do we really know about the B10 this year? We know that Scott Frost has a LOT of confidence in the team they have and the system (and about losing 10+ players from the team with more to come). We know that Penn State has the best QB last name Oh come on, Matt… Alex Hornibrook.  (I really want some ice cream right now…). We know that Wisconsin may not actually be cloning the Watt brothers anymore. They are.. They’re just all injured.   We know that Indiana is not the worst team. Or Illinois ... Or Maryland! And we know that Northwestern and Purdue are not who we thought they are, because I have no idea who they are and I don’t think they do either. Oh yeah, and Ohio State is who we thought they are for the most part.  Ehh.. Ohio State is… Continue reading “10/17/2018 Beabout Guest Post (Sorry U-M fans)”

9/29/2018 WTF is this?

Man… Even their final scores are confusing… Anyway, Last night (this morning?) the West Coast Eagles defeated Collingwood in the Australian Football League “Grand Final” (A name is so Australian it’s almost British).  Collingwood was up by 29 (that’s a lot.. maybe?) early in the game but WCE (Idk if they actually call them that but this is America and writing full words takes to long) closed the gap to two goals (12 points) by the end of the first half.  Despite losing 3 guys to injury and midfielder Andrew Gaff (whose name came with a guaranteed spot on any AFL team) suspended for punching a guy in the jaw, WCE was able to pull off a 5 point victory to become the 2018 AFL champs.  I really wanted to watch this game but 1. it was 12:30 this morning (as in almost yesterday) and 2. It could only find it on websites that wanted to charge me $24.. I’ll try the youtubes later.

So I looked it up… Here’s what that score means. There are two ways to score (that I know of… you probably get secret points for punching a guys jaw.. or like… scoring with a koala while not getting killed by any of the crazy death animals that live down under).  A “Goal” is worth 6 points and happens when you kick it between the middle posts.  A “Behind” worth 1 point is when it’s outside the middle posts but inside the outer posts… seems kinda like quidditch but with jaw punching… not sure how I feel about it… (I hate Harry Potter but Jaw Punching seems fun).  Anyway, the 11.13 means 11 goals, 13 behinds for a total of 79 points.  AFL is weird… Just say 79.
