Well you wont catch me in my last days here appearing in the "smart peoples only " rooms.





I've decided to let them go on without me in their inexorable drive to find the horsey most likely to finish tomorrow.

You really were getting in the way of the threads asking for free PPs or inquiring as to when and where this Breeder's Cup thing is taking place.

gotta keep the priorities straight.

Mortimer 10-23-2007 09:54 PM

Let's put it this way....if I don't come back then I have left.


If I do then I haven't......but I won't do much longer. My head hurts more every day.Sometimes the fork in the path keeps coming up.It's a hard concept to grasp....although I'm sure some of the masterminds in GenPop could explain it.



I think I have to cut off all lines of outside communication again as it just ain't workin' sa hot...for as long as I remain if I do.


One thing's for sure....if I had it to do all over again.....well then I wouldn't.




At least for now.

nomad 10-23-2007 11:28 PM

What WOULD you do all over again?

Mortimer 10-24-2007 07:46 AM

Deja vu.

I always like that.

Mortimer 10-24-2007 12:39 PM

Hey FateLires.










Phooey.










Wait a minute.

























Hey LateFires.




Need your input.....the Vulvarenes ( =:>) minus 23.5 at home to Minny-SO-tah. Too much? Wouldn't think so,but what do you think?

!Vulvarenes!

Too much. While Minny-SO-tah's defense shows about as much command of the opposition as Grooves shows of the English language, they have managed to not get beaten by more than 23 all year (and we needn't look far down all the polls to see who defeated them by that margin).

I do not think the Vulvarenes will be the first to do so. This sets up as a letdown for them, after a pretty big win given the cirumstances last week, and with three tough games after this one.

I also think that Lloyd and his fine coaching staff approach these games -against what they perceive to be inferior competition - as conservatively as possible until they absolutely have to take a risk (see Appalachian State, Northwestern, Eastern Michigan).

When you add the fact that both Henne and Hart are likely to be out or limited, you will see a lot of run-run-pass-punt with the Freshman QB and young RBs in there.

I think the Vulvarenes will win, but I would expect it to be close for three quarters and I would be surprised if they won by more than three TDs in the end.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to caring about the racing and weather forecast in New Jersey, and roughing up the suspect while thinking of Thebby.

Late Fires 10-24-2007 01:11 PM

As a man who appreciates the fine traditions of mighty Big Ten football, you might like this anecdote from Lloyd's press conference on the history of the Little Brown Jug.

"You remember Tommy Roberts. He was the manager in 1903. Coach [Fielding] Yost, when they got up there, with good cause, he did not trust Minnesota would provide good, clean drinking water. He sent Tommy Roberts out to buy a jug. The Michigan team drank water from that jug. Whether or not they had cups, I do not know.

"After the game, it was very unfair that Minnesota fans rushed the field before the game was over, or we all know Michigan would have won that game. Instead it ended in a 6-6 tie. In their rush to leave and get back on the train, they let the jug there. When they got back to Ann Arbor, Coach Yost, a very frugal man, realized the jug - they hadn't brought it back. He didn't call or leave a text message. He wrote a letter. He asked them to return the jug. Of course, they said if you want it, come and play for it.

"That's how today we happen 104 years later, and we're still playing for the coveted jug … the oldest trophy in college football. It has a great tradition and great meaning here. When you lose it, it's a miserable experience. When you win it, you get to keep that jug where it belongs. I mean, we bought that jug."

Mortimer 10-24-2007 01:30 PM

Great stuff as per usual ,LF.


I didn't realize the state of repairs the team was in.

And the LBJ thing was interesting...had no idea.I thought you were going to go into the LBJ in Delaware...the 3rd leg of buggy racings triple crown. There's some kind of thing to that one about Ohio and Michgan horses where if one wins...that team will win in late November.


Anyhoo....well done and highly amusing. I will not give the buy signal to Michgan this week.
