That's... not exactly a high bar, dude.
Well, that's kind of the point.
To be fair, Miami is a good school. It was dubbed a public ivy long before we were, actually, but our academic reputation has continued to rise while theirs has stagnated.
Well, that's kind of the point.
So... you're making fun of yourself?

I'm saying that every other public school in Ohio is basically a backup school for the people who can't get into Ohio State. Thus, "sitting in our shadow."

Haha, that was pretty good. I lol'd a couple times. Have to agree with one of the comments, though - you could make virtually the same vid about any fanbase that isn't limited to graduates (Michigan State *cough*), so it loses some points there.

The more I think about it, the more I hate the definitive article in front of "Ohio State".
Also, using it to denigrate Ohio? How very aggy of you. When aggie goes aggy, they refuse to call us UT, and instead refer to us as "tu".
So congrats, you halfway to grabbing your nuts and worshipping a dog.

Every douchebag I've met from Miami has been the biggest numbskull, came from east coast money and went through boarding school but failed to get into any east coast school douchebag than the one prior.

Yeah, aside from A&M's storied history of racism, homophobia and misogyny, we're just like them.
C'mon. We're hardly the only public university to poke fun at lesser universities in our state. Have you ever seen Michigan Men™ ridicule Michigan State?

Hey now, the racism, homophobia, and misogyny isn't what makes A&M weird. Otherwise, Ole Miss and Alabama are the same as A&M.
No sir, aggy goes beyond the traditional ills of society.

The good thing about Georgia Tech is that they're so nerdy we don't even really need to make fun of them. It's low hanging fruit. Doesn't stop me from doing it, though.Yeah, aside from A&M's storied history of racism, homophobia and misogyny, we're just like them.

On the player intros for the Ravens, Michael Oher said he was from the University of Ole Miss. I'm familiar with University of Mississippii, that other one must be a new program.

My favorite is when they say their high school, I like to think its because theyre ashamed of their college. Jimmy smith said his HS, hes from Colorado so its understandable. (sorry chitown, wherever you may be....)

Some say their HS because they never actually graduated from college. Not many, and I don't know if it applies to this case, but it happens.
Pretty sure Harper Lee is from Alabama.Whoa, whoa, WHOA. Misogyny? No, sir.

Case is an amazing school. No one would ever question that.
While I think any claim of misogyny against Harper Lee is pretty weak, I'm pretty sure she isn't the University.Pretty sure Harper Lee is from Alabama.

Tommy Rees couldn't even outrun the cops last year. QBs who lack any shred of NFL talent do often win the Heisman trophy, though.

I dont know what you mean, haha.
I picked Miami because they are cooler than Florida - "The U" man.
South Carolina will beat Georgia because Aaron Murray can't win against decent opposition.
Michigan will win because they have momentum of an improving program and at home. I didn't rate ND last year, and from all reports, they havent gotten much better, if at all.
The "U" is dead. It died when they stopped playing in the OB. Now, Miami is just a warm-weather version of Syracuse.I picked Miami because they are cooler than Florida - "The U" man.
Correct!South Carolina will beat Georgia because Aaron Murray can't win against decent opposition.
This one is tough to pick. It's hard to quantify how ND's Fig Thing will factor into the game.Michigan will win because they have momentum of an improving program and at home. I didn't rate ND last year, and from all reports, they havent gotten much better, if at all.

While mre is correct, and da U is dead, make sure to watch "The U": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83qv5mPN-Lw
Granted, mre thinks it died because they left the OB, I say it died when they fought FIU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNypDGoC_8M

Fighting, yes.
They are supposed to fight OU, and make Bosworth look useless. They are supposed to make the SEC look old and busted. They are supposed to shove Lou Holtz's face into the ground and eat that Irish dirt.
But fighting FIU? C'mon son. That's like picking on the kid who hasn't gone through puberty yet.
Still, how often does a fight break out in college football?Fighting, yes.

Not that often, but it's probably the only way FIU is ever going to make the national news.

Well, and I don't mean to talk shit here - at all - but the two games I have on my mind, for instance, are Michigan and Alabama. 13-6 on the strength of six turnovers is your win over Michigan, at your place. And then Alabama. Supposing Notre Dame isn't any better than those two games, he's certainly not going out on a limb saying Michigan has momentum playing at home.
Your lawyering has made you weak. Think about her oeuvre.While I think any claim of misogyny against Harper Lee is pretty weak, I'm pretty sure she isn't the University.
So... To Kill a Mockingbird? Because that's pretty much what I was thinking of when I made my response, and it's pretty much all you can think of when you discuss Harper Lee.Your lawyering has made you weak. Think about her oeuvre.
Again, Misogyny is a weak criticism to toss at Harper Lee, and, again, Harper Lee /= The University of Alabama, so even any valid criticism of misogyny in Lee's work is irrelevant. A better argument for misogyny at The University of Alabama is that they located the woman's study department in Manly Hall.

Sonic Drive In seems to be test marketing burgers with edible college logos on the bun. If they are successful in San Antonio I wouldn't be surprised if next year we'll see them in multiple Sonic markets with their local University's logo on the bun.

Notre Dame doesn't follow the normal rules of football. They consistently play the worst at home. The ND offense was horrible last year against Michigan and they also had turnover woes. The offense looks significantly better than last year. I'm less worried about going against a more traditional, yet mobile, qb than Denard to be perfectly honest.
The Alabama performance was an inevitability given our lack of depth last year. The team wasn't able to scrimmage normally for fear of injury and it clearly showed in the first quarter of the game when the defense got steamrolled.
Using the previous year as a barometer for how two teams will do this year (who both have different starting qbs than last year too) is about as asinine as preseason polls.
