Should we have a Kickoff Countdown?

We know who he is - he?s the guy that was too dumb to learn an NFL playbook and reminds everybody how dumb he is by making an ass of himself every week on College Game Day.

So you watch to confirm. Interesting.

I don?t really watch anymore but when I did, it wasn?t for his commentary - and he did all the confirming, I just noticed the obvious.

 

[Spartanmack]

Maybe.

Didn?t he win a Super Bowl MVP in the NFL and doesn?t ESPN pay him every Saturday he shows up?

Nice work for a dumbass.

Also, you?re a day late and possibly a dollar short.

We?re up to Mike Hart day.

20 days

You don?t need to know the playbook to return punts and kicks - Devon Hester made a career doing the same thing as did others I?m sure.

But I agree, it is nice work for a dumbass, not bad for smart people either. He?s not the only dumb person getting paid in this country.

Most obvious is that he has the gig that you don't have.

I guess.

I get paid.

Here?s a little tribute to our rival Spartans on the Michigan countdown to kickoff thread.

I suppose, but that doesn?t mean he?s not obviously dumb - and to be fair, it?s not entirely his fault - look what ESPN is allowing to happen to Corso. It?s like they don?t care at all. And even before Corso began to be affected by dementia, it wasn?t obvious which one of them was the dumber.

Possibly it?s time for Corso to seek public office.

Last time M was pre-season #2 I was moving into South Quadrangle

I didn't think we'd need a "no woofing and barking" qualifier for this thread, but maybe we do.

Last time M was pre-season #2 I was moving into South Quadrangle

it's kinda crazy that it has been that long. Honestly, it makes me nervous, just going by past performance of top 5 preseason Michigan teams. But the one I remember the most was '07, and there's a world of difference between this team and that one.

1991 wasn't a bad outcome, I guess... the teams they lost to were very good. But it was disappointing both then and would be this year as well, since we are expecting to be able to play with anyone

Losing to the eventual #2 and #4 teams and finishing #6 is certainly not failure. Casey Weldon had the game of his career and Washington was just better than Michigan.

I looked it up; UW actually won the coaches' poll that year. So we lost to the #1/#2 and #4 teams. And FSU's only losses were to the eventual national AP champion, Miami, in the "wide right" game, and a low scoring affair at #5 Florida the next week.

Agree the season was certainly not a failure. In my opinion, that was a great season... but I understand a lot of fans have different opinions than I do...

I'd be disappointed with the outcome if we breezed through the Big Ten schedule only to get beat soundly in the post-season, like in 1991, but I won't stop being a fan, demand someone get fired, or whine and complain about it.

While researching players for today, I came across this gem from the 1970 season, after fans Booed Bo because we struggled to put away Arizona (20-9):

In response to coach Schembechler's play calling, the crowd at Michigan Stadium began booing, mostly from the student section, in the third and fourth quarters. After the game, coach Schembechler responded: "Yeah, I heard them boo me. But if you think it bothered me, you're wrong. I may not be a very good coach but I'm a lot smarter than they are."​

LOL.
