Circle of life, Big Ten style

2[/FONT]. In what will surely go down as one of the strangest bookends to a regular season in college football history, Michigan is going to beat Ohio State on Nov. 17, coming full circle on a season that began with the infamous loss to Appalachian State on Sept. 1. You can just feel this coming, as the Wolverines surged to a seventh straight win on Saturday afternoon. Sure, the opponent was lowly Minnesota, but the underlying cause for optimism was that Michigan stayed on the tracks, despite not having both Mike Hart and Chad Henne for an entire game for the first in their careers. While Hart and Henne rested, the Wolverines maintained momentum and bolstered their depth, getting solid production from freshman QB Ryan Mallett and sophomore backs Brandon Minor and Carlos Brown. The confidence is building. The stars are getting healthier. WR Mario Manningham is back to being an integral part of the attack. And the defense, so maligned during the 0-2 start, has climbed all the way up to No. 3 in the league, creating turnovers faster than a French baker and not allowing a meaningful second-half touchdown during the seven-game winning streak. Michigan is all the way back, its respectability back intact and its to-do list now including a trip to Pasadena that seemed impossible two months ago. Ohio State is a worthy No. 1 team, coming off an impressive win over Penn State Saturday night. Its perfect season, however, is going to end in Ann Arbor by a Michigan team that?s in the process of authoring one of the great turnarounds in school history. Ponder this: When the dust settles in January, what would qualify as the bigger shocker, the Wolverines losing to a team from the Southern Conference, or the Wolverines rebounding from an 0-2 start and the absolute depths of despair to win the Big Ten Conference? Not as obvious as you might think.

FUCK scUM.
That being said, I am also suffering from CICP.

Quick, someone send Richard a fruit basket!

The more "experts" that pick scUM to win on the 17th, the better.

The usage of "still" needs to be tempered when we think about the suckage of Michigan. "Still" implies that there was a point in time in the past when Michigan didn't suck. That's incorrect. Michigan has always sucked, will always suck. There is no end to the "suck" of Michigan for time eternal.

Not neccessarily. I've been a Buckeye since birth and I'm still a Buckeye. Thus, Michigan has sucked since its inception and it still sucks (and will continue to suck for all eternity).

Cartman would say they "suck suckity suck suck suck"...

I'd say "still" means I just checked again and yep...they still suck. It means they will stop sucking when time stops passing.

I stand corrected. As Merriam-Webster Online defines the adverb "still":

1: without motion <sit still>
2archaic a: always, continually b: in a progressive manner : increasingly
3?used as a function word to indicate the continuance of an action or condition <still lives there><drink it while it's still hot>
4: in spite of that : nevertheless <those who take the greatest care still make mistakes>
5 a: even 2c <a still more difficult problem> <heavier still> b: yet 1a <has still to be recognized>

It can mean both "always" and as I was talking about the "progressive manner". I apologize for my incorrect correct. :biggrin:

Michigan = Sucks (always)
