Easily Amused by the Bitterly Disappointed
For the record, the wife is in a better mood this morning so I showed her the offer from last night and she was appreciative. I only got called a bastard once this morning for posting about my laughter during said incident.
Gorilla glue is a glorious thing, boys. I'll be damned if that thing isn't holding together like electric sex. Mrs. Fixit over here. Impressive.
Watching Chris Worley proclaim that land as Camp Buckeye this morning made all right in the world again.
So long, Cheeseheads! Hope Zeke runs wild on your NFL squad this afternoon.

Felt like Wisconsin wanted it more... and it showed at the line
Hill was getting mauled but showed up at the very end when it was needed
We didn't look hungry... looked complacent
If JT ever has a good game again, we're gonna murder somebody
Where has Zone6 gone? catch the ball
THANK YOU Mike Weber... animal

Screen capped it before I got to your post. :cheers:
So, what are we calling this thing now?
Oh, yeah, you already answered me.
Exactly. Great minds and all.
Took a screen cap of that last night and saved it to photo bucket this morning. Just posted it into the Wisconsin team thread in the other forum after my Wifi crashed 3 times waiting for the pic to make it into photobucket. Came to post it here...

I generally have a pretty good feel/instinct for when things aren't going to go our way... they're typically (but not always) low scoring, sludge-fart games.
- Wiscy '03
- Multiple '04 and '11 games
- Pedtards '05
- Pedtards '08
- Wiscy '10
- Sparky '13/'15
- VT '14
It's just a deep pit in my stomach...like I see all that's mounting against us, and feel that we just "don't have it" that night. It happens. Not often, but it happens. I had that feeling for 3.5 quarters last night. Then it went away. Then it came back as we were about to start OT. I just didn't think we would be able to pull it out. I'm sure there were other games I felt it and was wrong, but I can't pinpoint a specific one. I'm glad I was wrong last night, because FUCK WISCONSIN.

I watch a lot of CFB. Officiating is pretty bad across the country. The SEC is often comically blatant in how they protect their better teams. The B1G is just on another level of incompetence, and has been for years. I don't know where they find these clowns, but they are really, really bad. I don't think they "protect" anybody, they're just horrible across the board. At some point, somebody has to do something, becaise it's a joke at this point.

well, that is untrue actually, he's not a psu fan. that person is clearly a troll that temporarily dropped their cover and used a rational argument. a dangerous game to play.... kind of like telling a hooker your a spy while on mission. pretty sure only archer can pull that kind of thing off.
could have dropped everything but the last sentence and your post would have still been every bit as support worthy :p.
very likely true and i am guilty in that mix. but it is hard to not tip the ol hat to the kid. though with a name like tyler durbin, im not sure why we expected any less of him :p. if anything he should be more involved in kick coverage lol.
yep, its hard to say when a team this young will peak. it may not be this year even. all i know for sure is i want to be watching and have the game dvr'd when they do. i can't really picture what it will look like... but im thinking some form of combination of a curb stop and ape rape.... either way, its almost certain to be a crime against humanity.
MD Buckeye, Systems_id and 4 others like this.
i know we have called shenanigans on the power drunk mods before. but when they are clearly adding code to allow the website itself to like their posts... we're approaching north korea levels of power mad. next there will be an official thread about how clarity doesn't poop.
i really like that idea. a group of 5 or so with majority voting on outcome of a call maybe? im actually surprised the media hasn't jumped on this setup yet. just send one or two reporters and have your play by play people call the game from a remote location. heck, they could call 3 or 4 games per saturday! sure, they might stumble over peoples names on occasion, but how difficult is it to pronounce names like barn childress and san antonio holmes anyway?
id also like to see the following two changes to instant replay soon:
1. officiating should be a year round job. if the amount of money being made on these games is enough that the players who are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation in the form of room/board/education/coaching deserve literal checks in addition to this. its high time to make the guys who have the most thankless job on the field full time and year round. this gives a crap ton more opportunity to train, test, and review rules with the refs. they need practice just like the players do. in the off season they should be reviewing the previous season via tape and collaborating as well as getting hands on with all rule changes on what is and is not legal now.
if they are weighing in on games that are making that much money... how in gods name has every power conference not literally demanded this by now?
2. on field refs need the authority to request a booth review. no matter where you put the refs, no matter how well they are trained and no matter how good they are at what they do. there WILL be times, although rare, where not one of them will be in the right position to get proper eyes on a play. its ok to admit, "guys, that was my call but i had traffic in front of me and couldn't see what happened". or, "that was 100% my call but i got trucked by a scraping lb just when the <insertcriticalthinghere> happened and had no view". at the end of the day its about getting the right call. getting it "right" generally doesn't hinge heavily on guessing. in those situations the booth has full say with no need for indisputable evidence. they then become the on field ref with the full latitude to make the call they see as they see it.
a perfect example of this happened in the tulsa game where the tulsa kid hit the ground then fumbled around their own 20. he was clearly down. but of the three refs who otherwise would have been in perfect position to view the play. two of them had their vision completely blocked by traffic and the third appeared to be in the process of being ran over by a wr. sometimes the refs just are not going to see the play. thats ok and literally what replay is for. so give the refs the authority to request it too.
sure, in that case replay buzzed down and got it right. but what if they hadn't buzzed down at all? we would have beaten tulsa by another td... which only proves my point on how much this impacts the outcome of the games!!

It's a pose I don't remember seeing before: an instant classic. And, yeah, before finding the other posts, I intended to say "dead surrender cobras."
Have a feeling we'll be finding excuses to post it again from time to time.
I have the same kind of thing--sort of a feeling of dread or heavy depression. Had it before games like the NC vs. FL, LSU. Happily, did NOT have it before the BIG title game vs. Wisconsin, despite the seeming unfortunate circumstances, or before Bama & Oregon. If I get the vibe and can't shake it off, we are pretty much consistently goners. Sometimes things just seem destined.

couldn't agree more. the biggest issue i have seen with officiating is the epic lack of consistency. not just from crew to crew but even within crews who work together on a regular basis. i always think back to the 1996 rose bowl. what on one side of the field is completely legal and play on is a blatant pass interference on the other. even the announcer called it out as i recall.
i really think upping their pay and making it a year round job where you have them in the off season and can put together a true set of standards would help so much in this area. as much money that goes into these games (facilities/staff and coaches etc...) and is made off of them, it boggles the mind how so much authority over their outcome is put in the hands of what is essentially a seasonal worker. it would be like hiring a ceo to run your fortune 100 company but only for the month of december...
that and i wouldn't feel "as bad" about describing them with ever 4 letter word i can think of as loud as i possibly can during the games if they were full time employees with proper off seasons that involve detailed reviews and in depth training and such. :p
