I really don't know what happened...but I assume it happened over on game day.


I don't necessarily take issue with your post, but I caution folks holding grudges or over reacting based on what happens over on game day...YOU ARE GETTING THE IMMEDIATE REACTION FROM A GUY IN HIS LIVING ROOM...it is a testament to this forum that folks are somewhat uninhibited...some of the best stuff comes from some of these guys off the cuff...it would detract from the site if we got all Nancy, pinky out...

You have to take things with a grain of salt in the heat of the moment. Indeed we are men... and what separates us from the stereotypical woman is our ability to punch each other in the mouth, and then laugh about it over a beer...simply because we are in a forum doesn't change our nature

If we are going to become the streotypical self-escalating, grudge-holding women about it...mods should shut down the scrolling gameday thread and let folks PM to "safe" people.

I'm not defending or condemning anyone...I just like this site as well...it has great thinkers, great commedians, and some of the best fans I've ever come across...and it has a non-formal flavor that makes it seem like you are in a basement with your boys whooping it up, and it makes it tops in my book. Hate to see that change.

Maybe folks need to check themselves a little, but not too much...
I agree with you, but some of the stuff was vicious, and directed not to nd players or coaches, but OUR posters, thats just what gets me mad, a guy is trying to calm someone down and he just goes postal on him, i understand the banter that goes on around here, and it makes the site what it is, but we have to draw a line.

i was going to write something similiar to this but i went to the local place to get 89 cent beer and wings. just to calm myself down alittle bit.

the way i see it is emotions go up and down through games, and people should have the right to express themself in that way through out the game. everyone knows how emotions go during a game, so if anything just close all threads during games if you can't take how people deal with the game.

and when it comes to cursing i just think it is funny in the sense that they are just words and they don't define a person intelligence. whatever happen to the quote "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"

sorry just alot of back and forth around here, which is understandable since this week resulted in a loss. damn it sucks.

Does anyone else get the impression that Walter Mercado is the illegitimate child of Liberace and Joan Rivers?

I can't judge this particular day as I was not there (Game Day)...I've seen some stuff go awry before...folks duke it out over keyboard etc. Happens...

If today reached a new high/low depending on how you define...I get it. Since you were there, I'll trust your criticism was warranted...I hope the folks who you intended to criticize get your message.

Anybody who thinks Kelly sucks or should be fired is a complete idiot and should be banned. We played a great, tough, close game that was marked by many highs and lows. We had the misfortune of losing our starting QB (which, as it turns out, makes a bigger difference than maybe even we in the know knew). Michigan is not very creative on offense, but effective, with a player that creates lots of mismatch problems.

Kelly did a great job game planning and managing the game. He just had bad luck with the Crist injury and it didn't work out with the fourth down try instead of the FG. The man is a great coach, with a fantastic system (love the offense), plus great coordinators (defense looked great, just out there too often). It is what it is. Anybody who thinks we're not going to lose a few on the way to a National Championship one day is unrealistic, stupid, and just plain foolish. I for one cannot wait for our night game next week. I love watching this team, win or lose.

GO IRISH!!!!

Anyone who says Fire Kelly after 2 games should be banned.

Agreed, anyone saying that should be ashamed........I like coach Kelly and will support him to the end, no matter if I like his play calling or not. A coach who wins at every level has to know what he is doing, and coach Kelly knows what he is doing..........

To the end Kali? For me the END is 3 straight seasons of mediocrity. As in 3-9 6-6, then another 6-6

Yeah GD, I don't think Kelly will have those bad season's, this season will probably be his worst, new coaches, new QB, right now we are better than we were 3 years ago. By the time Crist is in his senior year we will be contenders for sure. Kelly has one thing Weiss didn't....College Football experience........Look at the Bearcats last year......
