Hour #2

12:13 pm

App. State just intercepted the stupidest pass ever made in Michigan football history, keeping my (and the other four people in the bar) dream alive that Michigan eats turf on their season opener in front of 107,000 blue-clad dorks.

Ways to disappoint your alumni on national television: Shake your car keys at the opposing team. This "goodbye" action is pretty stupid. It's up there with singing "Hey Hey Hey, Good Bye" as far as completely misguided attempts at trash-talking. Even more embarrassing is when the student body is shaking their car keys at the opposing team IN THE THIRD QUARTER. WHEN YOU'RE ONLY LEADING BY 3. AND IT'S EASTERN CAROLINA. Survey says: no.

Another glaring difference between the glorious South and the wasteland called the West: some pastel-blue golf shirt-wearing wiener comments to his over-tanned wife and miserably disillusioned as to her own beauty daughter, "I gotta find out what time my UCLA Bruins are playing!". True fans here.

The long snapper for App. State face-masked the Michigan returner (this is before the interception) in the biggest game of the school's history when they're winning and adds 15 yards to Michigan's return. When you're the long snapper, you don't have a lot of room for error on the team. When you cost your team 15 yards against the number 5 team, you're basically gonna be walking bow-legged out of the showers.

All games are pretty much done right now: VaTech's offense accidentally scored a TD and they're up 10 with 1:36 left, and the other games are playing out as the AD's wanted them to (with an average margin of victory of 45 points). 7:45 left in the Michigan game, and Mike Hart is one crafty bastard.
