The Official Thread to VENT - Get it all out!!!

[leppycole]

After a week off, 6 games into the season,BCS is out, and looking forward to UCLA - I have some bottled anger to let out - NONE of this will make sense:

Why is every one kissing Troy Smith and Ohio States a$$, The big 12 is garbage, Zibby needs to destroy some ball carrier, Quinn, yes you Quinn - get angry and play with a chip on your shoulder. D-line "you only have ND fans respect" go make an impression, what the F*@# is up with the 800 commercials during a NBC home game. OSUESPNUSC network is corrupt. Lousville, WVU, USC, Texas schedules are pathetic, What Happened to "Nasty" football Team? Dammit ND is better than it is showing - Wake Up!!!!!!! Get An independent crew of Refs for home games!!!!!!! Get a new score board at ND - Charlie has no replay to look at!!!!!! Play with emotion, play with a aura, play like you hate your opponent. How did ND blow out Tennesse, and now they jump ND like they have had a dynasty going on. Why are the networks fixing the polls!!!!!! Can I have an asprin.

ok I feel better now - - sorry I needed that

You should all try it, just start typing and do not try to think about what you are writing
I am now ready to be a mature adult and move on to the next 6 errr 7 games.

Ok, I'll Play !

My wife ..........never mind !

Yawn

zzzzzz

 

[jiggafini19]

Lousville, WVU, USC, Texas schedules are pathetic

North Carolina and Stanford could have ZERO I-A wins this season between the two of them.

My vent: LET THE SCHEDULE CRAP GO!!! If you're undefeated, you're UNDEFEATED. Notre Dame has one loss and suddenlty all of the undefeated teams are crap.

I have ceased listening to the radio and reading the newspaper. Too many morons are ruining Notre Dame and the Bears season for me.

Let's leave the decision making to the folks in charge. Fans overreact to everything. Real football isn't fantasy football. We have day jobs for a reason.

Sigh.

 

[onenybrother]

After hearing that Michigan State guy rant a couple a weeks ago. That rant you wrote sounds like a love letter.

 

[jiggafini19]

There isn't a football team from Pee Wee to the NFL that has a tough schedule anywhere in football. Anywhere.

Maybe the SEC. Everyone else sucks and plays sucky teams.

Troy Smith has won every game he's started this year. So have Pat White and John David Booty. Suck, suck, suck.

You know who has a tough schedule? Those poor bastards over in Iraq.

I am no longer Catholic. I now give thanks to Tim Tebow Christ.

I love this thread.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

I love this thread too...

Troy Smith throws for 78 yards & 2 int's, but then hits a desperation pass for a 37 yard td and all you here about is what a "creative play" it was and how it is a highlight for his Heisman campaign? Please, if every other player is going to be eliminated for 1 bad game then Troy should too. 115 yards, 2 int's and 1 td against Penn State with the weapons he has and that o-line? That's a bad game. He shouldn't be the UNANIMOUS choice at this point.

Can they stop putting Iowa in the top 15 preseason every year? Every year we here about how this is their year and every year they sh** the bed.

I'm sick about hearing about Clemson. Everyone has them winning the ACC when they might not even make it to the Championship game. BC needs to beat a down FSU & Miami, which could definitely happen. That leaves Clemson out.

I'm sick of the SEC. They are good conference but there elite teams are no better than any other conference's elite teams. Just because they beat each other up doesn't mean they are going to beat everyone else up. Just because there defenses hold other boring SEC offenses to 10 points a game doesn't mean they are inpenetrable to everyone else. Just ask USC.

I'm sick of hearing the Tigers--and every other pro sports team from Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, etc.-- described as "blue collar". The Tigers are a bunch of millionaire entertainers, with no real connection to the city they "represent". This is the media at its mononic mush-headed best, serving us another stale cliche.

 

[jiggafini19]

Can they stop putting Iowa in the top 15 preseason every year?

They're middle tier. They are not Ohio State, Michigan or Penn State.

Penn State + Mother Nature = Troy Smith apology.

Clear and sunny for Quinn against Michigan that day. Any hater will tell you that.

Lou Pinella called the Chicago Cubs a "storied franchise." I'm not sure Lou knows that story very well, but he's about to find out. They're bumping the 2007 payroll up to $115 million. Whoopdee frickin' doo.

YESSSS!!! Awesome stuff.

Try living in Chicago. Every team we've ever had was blue collar.

85 Bears.
Jordan's Bulls.
05 White Sox.

They weren't just "good". They were blue collar.

Great stuff. Best thread ever.

All that goddamn Troy Smith does is win. Horrible.

Whoever the QB is at Hawaii, he gets my vote. But he plays a weak schedule, though.

 

[irishtexan]

and For The Love Of God Would You Sucky Ncaa People Have A F*ckin' Playoff System!!!!!!!!!! Iam Sick Of All This Computer B.s. And These "experts" Analyzing Who Is Good And Who Is Not. I Also Am Sick Of Bandwagon Fans. Get A Life You F*ckin Losers, If You Cant Name 5 Starters Then You Are Not And Never Will Be A Fan.

 

[Aerosmith777]

Hehe, how the hell were Jordan's Bulls "blue-collar?" I can kinda see why someone would say that about the '85 Bears, but the Bulls? That team was star-studded, between Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and the coach.

 

[maison bleu]

I'm sick of all the outrage over Miami-FIU brawl. Yep, it was ugly, but sorry, it's not a sign of the apocolypse. It was just a bunch of idiots being what they are.

I do not see the Brawl--and all it represents--as a sign of cultural decay. That kind of "today's youth are ruining the world" thinking has been going on forever. In the fifties it was rock-n-roll and motorcycles, in the sixties hippies and pot, in the seventies disco and coke and punk rock, in the eighties crack and hip hop and ... well, you get the point. It's a Chicken Little argument, and all it does is make the person offering it sound Old.

It's an example of a pattern of thought that goes back centuries in Anglo-American culture: the myth of recently-lost golden age. A time remembered through rose-colored glasses, always a generation or two in the past.

In this case a golden age of Pure Sportsmanship. Which, I'm guessing, would be located back in the 1930s - 1950s. But was that really such an age of Ideals? I'm thinking there's a lot of black athletes from that era who would beg to differ.

 

[jiggafini19]

My Heisman Vote:

1. Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii. 23 Tuddy Passes already this year. 5 picks. Stuart Scott would call him Hellafresh.

2. PJ Hill, RB, Wisconsin. Right behind Wolfe for rushing yards. His team has only lost one game all year.

3. Jarrett Dillard, WR, Rice. 11 TD already this year.

4. Geoff Price, P, Notre Dame. Brady Quinn isn't the only one going to the NFL.

5. Daymeion Hughes, DB, CAL. 6 INT, 2 for TD.

All of them play weak schedules too, by the way.

Check this out Maison.

Just one publication's opinion. Note the dates of these brawls.

As a sports culture, the arrow is pointing in the wrong direction my friend.

Juan Marichal and Kermit Washington can't hold a candle to Ron Artest and the Miami Hurricanes.

Sportsmanship is in serious trouble.

My four month old son, who has been a great sleeper, decided that 3 a.m. would be an opportune time to get up this morning! He wouldn't go back down until 5:30 a.m., 1/2 hour before the alarm goes off!!! He woke up his two year old brother, which made for a cranky toddler this morning. After finally getting the jovial pair to the sitter's house, I got to work only to get a phone call asking where the diaper bag was. I checked downstairs with the attendant and I LEFT IT IN THE #$^%@!@(& CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it. I'm treating myself to lunch today. Chinese sounds good.

 

[jiggafini19]

"You know what really grinds my gears?"

 

[punishment]

How many more years will I have to watch the A's make a championship run, only to stop just short of the World Series? When will we crack the top 20 teams in payroll so that we can finally win it all? (I guess that is when the fans start showing up)

 

[jerseyborn1971]

The stinkin' Heisman in general. I'm sick of hearing about it. Forget the BCS. Heisman arguments make even less sense. Analysts and all of their "intangibles". By "intangible" they mean what school or conference the guy plays for/in and if his team is in the top 5.

Winning the Heisman should be like being declared a Saint. All candidates should have to perform 2 qualified miracles. Garret Wolfe is half-way there. It took a miracle for most of the sports world to now know NIU has a football team. If he gets them to a bowl game then he would have his 2nd miracle and thus, the Heisman Trophy.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

One more...

USC did NOT win 2 National Titles in a row. LSU won the National Title. Finishing 1st in one poll, even if it is the AP Poll does NOT make you the National Champion. I wish they would stop ranting about 2 NC in the last 3 years. For all the talk last year about a 3-peat, they really only ever pulled off a 1-peat.

I really hate everyone who has ever been on the show Sweet Sixteen on MTV. They really chap my ass. Thought everyone should know that.

I've never watched it. But I know the premise. Those spoiled little brats need a good dose of reality.

 

[Bubba]

I hate those sticky pads that have the glue on the opposite side every time so it opens up like a freakin' accordian and you can never pick the right side and you always grab 2 stickys when really you only need 1. There you go. Not a big fan of crabcakes either.

 

[Pete]

I really am getting pissed at my ipod. I charge it all damn night and the stupid thing dies on me in an hour. I called the store, they want $50 for a new battery. Rechargable my ass.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

I hate 85 pound girls who make the devil horns sign with their hand, stick out their tongue and yell "I'm so punk!" while wearing a black t-shirt with a pink girlie skull on it listening to Avril Lavigne. I wish Johnny Rotten would stomp them.

Perfect! I love this thread too.

Looks like I missed the party today. Damn ! Would've been fun.
I already vented on every F***ING driver in SoFla today.
Alas, I'm spent.
Oh alright, maybe one.
Wolf Blitzer and his MONOTONIC voice.
Lame, I know. But that's all I got.
That and a headache.

Depressed Blue Collar

Depressed Blue Collar

In Penna when the High School Playoffs start the media always says that any small town team comes from a depressed blue collar area.

Why can't Heroe's come on twice a week.
Why I can't be undefeated.

I wish Tim McCarver would shut the F##K up. Put him and John Madden in the f**king bus and let 'em talk themselves to death. And while we're at let's put Chris Berman under bus - huge f**king speed bump - have to put in four wheel drive to get over his enormous arse and ego.
