OT: What Rut will NOT be doing Jan 1st
 

Hey, that's not nice to kick a guy when he is down. Not only will Michigan not be playing in a BCS bowl, the Western Illionois Leathernecks are getting beat 30-6 as we speak and will not make the NCAA Div. I-AA Playoffs. Of course the way the Youngstown State Peguins are playing (losing 54-44 as we speak) the definitely will not make the I-AA Playoffs. The only way the Penguins can salvage any respectability is to beat the Leathernecks on Nov. 22 at the same time The Ohio State Buckeys are beating Michigan, and we all know where the Buckeyes will be doing on New Year's Day. :D

MTD, Sr.

I'm not sure two guys can win a National championship in football. :cool:

This is not nice.:D

Wow, you are late.

That ship sailed a long time ago, like Week 1 (actually long before that).

It is interesting that this is getting more play than what is going on in the NHL. :D

Peace

Fixed it for you. :)

WOO HOO!!! Go Boilers!!!!

Finally something to cheer about!!!

Siller looked pretty good today for a RS Frosh.

Is the NHL Coming Back To Hartford, CT ???
 

Did I miss something important? Is Wayne Gretzky, or Bobby Orr, coming out of retirement?

That's about what it would take for them to make news.

The Canadiens scored 4 goals in the last period to come back from a 4-1 deficit last night and win 5-4. [Just in case you were not paying attention.]

Although I am a Canadiens fan before a Leafs fan, The Big Smoke had a similar night. Losing 2-0 at home, only to came back to win 5-2, scoring 5 goals in 5:22 in the third.

Playing in the Alamo Bowl?

Aaaaarrrgh!
What a horrible name !

Maple Leafs, Maple Laffs, Maple Loafs. It all boils down to this: The last time they won the Stanley Cup, it was in black & white.

What's the Bowl Series? :confused:

It's a fancy name they gave to the division of NCAA football that crowns their champion without the benefit of a playoff.

And something the University of Michigan will not be involved in this year. Sorta like the Hamilton Tiger-Cats situation this year.

I too call them the Maple Laughs.

But rest assured that when the TML win the Stanley Cup, it will be the biggest sports party that North America has ever seen.

Ah yes, the Cats. They're the closest CFL team to my house. Some day, JR, some day hopefully!

Joe Zuger. Those were the days.

Always wondered why it wasn't the Maple 'Leaves' as in: Toronto leaves the playoffs before the SC Final each year.

Zuger is my nickname. Seriously! I'm European, and I have a weird last name (to some). Doing a provincial playoff game one day and the announcer came upon my name and couldn't make heads or tails of it, and ended up with "Zuger". :D

There's talk some years that Hamilton wants an NHL team. Especially since the co-CEO of Research in Motion was into purchasing a team.

"Why won't Hamilton ever get an NHL team?"

"Because then Toronto would want one too!"

Do you pal around with a guy nicknamed 'Mosca'?

Reminds me of the old Ottawa Senators joke from their first few years in the league.

"What is the difference between the Ottaw Senators and a cigarette vending machine?"

"The vending machine has Player's."

Even better....a joke told in Western Canada every May or so....

"Did you hear about the huge fire at the golf course today? There were Flames everywhere."

When did they change the Stanley Cup's color from silver? :confused:

You Betcha ...
 

Is that like Sarah Palin saying that she can see Russia from her house?

It's Fox's tag for all the big bowl games after New Year's Day as a build up to the championship game.

There you go again, Billy.

pssssst. That's not what she said. That's what Tina Fey said when she was mocking Palin.

I thought the bit when Palin actually appeared on SNL was quite funny, with Alec Baldwin calling her "Tina" and saying what a horrible person Palin was. And then, after being told who she really was, finishing up by saying, "You know, I have to be honest. [dramatic pause] You're MUCH hotter in person than you are on TV." :D

I think this thread is officially labeled as off-topic, I'm allowed to make jokes and post pictures. So here's one.

Ya, she's hot.

Guess you never had the big philco in the living room.
