Dr. Pomade

I thought you were kidding.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Seriously, no.

Okay, I was almost getting there with the black helmets with the green stickers. Like, it could work. I was at least tolerant of it, maybe even liking it. Now, this - which appears to be what a third grader would think would look cool if allowed to design the uniforms. Black helmets, red stickers, dumb, dumb, and dummy dumb. Fuck the dumb, fuck this stupid uniform. If we lose I am going to troll Ohio State forever about this. Can we get red laser beams to shoot out from the visors? How about some rubies encrusted in our shoes? These uniforms are the equivalent of the old Vette guy who coordinates every single thing on his car in a nauseating way, where you are looking at him and feeling sorry for him because he thinks that it's cool that the floor mats match his license plate cover and those things match his jacket and his Vette hat.

Only if the purge lines went through the viper emblems.

Perfection.

Double or nothing and a name change bet.

Locked in.

I win (OSU beats Michigan): you owe me $200 and you have to change your name to something with my approval.

You win (Michigan beats OSU): you owe me $0 and I have to change my name to something with your approval.

Sound right?

Yeah, the Gen 1 was straight clown shoe. The Viper in the first vid is a second gen - which I have always really liked.

The Viper in the second vid now has me close to opening Google and searching things like "MSRP new Viper" and "specs new Viper." Seriously, that's a good looking car. A couple of questions for you guys:

1. What is that paint? It looks matte, but with a sheen - if that makes sense. I normally hate matte finishes, but I am really digging whatever this paint is.

2. Can we trust those sounds from the Viper are the sounds that really come out of the Viper? They have always had the reputation of sounding like ass.

3. Would it be acceptable to buy one of the new Vipers, strap a 300 shot on it, roll into a car meet, and then just purge the lines repeatedly as I drove through the parking lot?

He'll be coaching Texas

I could see that happening, too.

Or, now that I'm thinking of it, maybe USC comes a calling...

Oh and Arizona st over Utah. I think this Cinderella story is going to come to an end

Agreed.

Agree with all those picks except Michigan over sparty.

 

Also Louisville over Florida st and Boston college over Clemson

I won't be surprised if Michigan beats Michigan State.

I will be shocked if Clemson loses to BC.

Also, what's our bet on the OSU-Michigan game? Double or nothing or something else (like name change bet)?

I'm not sure if I'm drunk yet, but Boise State is being spank right now by USU?? I guess we won't have to hear about Boise State in the playoffs run this year

Holy fuck Boise got crushed. Joshie is now crying on the inside and maybe a little on the outside.

Some other thoughts:

- Houston won big, still undefeated. Herman can come back this way when Meyer retires.

- so many good games today. im taking Florida over LSU, Bama over AM, Notre Dame over USCarfire, and Michigan State over Michigan.

Haha... now they're not even going to be using the green leaves with the black helmets.

Only further proof that Ohio State is trolling me!

On a side note, I love night games for so many reasons. I can get all my work done for the day, etc.

1. Buy a GTR. It has AWD so it will be fine in the winter. It also has a back seat and a trunk so you and the wife and kids can move out of your apartment and just live in the GTR.

2. No need to pay for rent or utilities since you're now living in GTR.

3. Your monthly expenses have now dropped drastically.

4. Roll into the car meets with your family and a fair amount of swag.

Why? Visualize you're playing poker, you don't want to let the others players see your hand until the end right? It's only fourth street now. Just tough it out for couple more weeks you'll see the real team.

Yeah unfortunately though we raised big pre-flop and got several calls. Then the flop came and it was a board that scared exactly no one away. And in fact several others bet into us, despite the fact we were driving the pre-flop action. So now we just have to call because we don't have the cards to re-raise and instead are limping in with just a call and hoping to get our advantage on the turn.

I really think they may be able to pull off a bit of the black out. I thought it was going to look silly because too many people were just going to wear their usual scarlet/gray stuff but everyone seems to be talking about it. I believe the jerseys have the reflective borders around the numbers like the more common alternates do (the ones with the green stickers a certain someone absolutely LOVES). There's potential for a really, really cool shot of the team coming out of the tunnel in the dark with some light hitting the jerseys just right.

Oddly, I think I actually like the green leaves on the black helmet.

Here's why I don't like the green leaves on the other alternate unis: it makes it look like one of our colors are green when the helmet is full of (very bright green) buckeye stickers. Like when we played Clemson - I swear it looked like it was a "Christmas Edition" alternate uni.

I'm looking forward to the black out. I hope it just doesn't turn into a Ohio State funeral.

Speaking of bets. Mr Pomade I'll take Michigan over Ohio St as our bet this year. We agreed we would pick a game during the season so I'll put it out there now.

Double or nothing or do you want to bet on something else?

Was today a good day?

It was wicked.

Wasnt it Wake Forest that was tied with VT 0-0 at the end of regulation last year?

Offensive juggernaut.

The upset potential this weekend is crazy

 

Arizona st has a real shot at upsetting Utah

Louisville over Florida st

Wv over Baylor

Florida over LSU

Michigan over Sparty

Bama over tamu

Bc over Clemson

Penn st over OSU

 

This is going to be a defining week. I cannot wait. I think most of all I would like to see Baylor lose.

BC over Clemson would be the singlets greatest act of Clemsoning known to man.

BC got beat by Wake Forest, 3 - 0.

The Urban one is not even fair. The aveage score for a home night game under Urban is 47-25

Urban coaching is not fair, period - that dude is only behind two legendary Notre Dame coaches for all time winning percentage.

8-4 in home night games = 66% winning percentage

5-1 under Meyer = 80% winning percentage

______________________________________

Ohio State's overall win percentage = 72% (got that from Wikipedia)

Ohio State is, by my count, 164 - 36 since 2000. That means they have played 200 games since 2000 (which is kind of cool), and have won 164 of them. That winning percentage is 82%

Ohio State is, under Meyer, 44-3. That is a winning percentage of 93%.

Edit: my count included the 2010 season because I saw with my own eyes Ohio State beat 12 teams that year (and they should have beat Wisconsin, too - fuck you, Bielema).

the only other home night game in the 2000's is 2003 Washington State, who was ranked and was a W

 

Ooh yeah 2001 vs #14 Northwestern and was a win

 

8-4 in home nigh games since 2000? 5-1 under Urban.

So, I'm willing to bet both of those averages are well below (1) Ohio State's overall winning percentage, (2) their winning percentage since 2000; and (3) their winning percentage under Meyer.
