Your Week 2 B1G Open Thread - NightTime Edition

It's after dark. The mood is changing. Outside the street's on fire. It's a real death waltz between what's real and what's fantasy. Inside, we're focused on the Maize and Blue and Gold (with some crimson and red thrown in there too). The nice thing about traditional powers like Michigan and Notre Dame is that they don't go in for any of that stupid, trendy uniform crap like Oregon, Okie State, Maryland, and waitaminute. Crap. 

 

We'll meet 'neath that giant Big House, that brings this fair city light...

Three games to wrap up our day.

Time Visitor Home TV B1G Site
6 PM Virginia Indiana BTN The Crimson Quarry
6 PM Fresno State Nebraska BTN Corn Nation
7 PM Notre Dame Michigan ESPN Maize n Brew

Come on in and have a seat.  If you're new to our open threads, the rules are simple: No racism, no sexism, no homophobia, no pornography, no personal attacks, and no illegal internet streams of the games. There's beer in the fridge, we've got wings, we've got burgers and brats on the grill, and the legal minds are in the other room talking res ipsa retainer.

And play is looking ulgier. But it’s still early. Umich needs to salvage an otherwise rough day for the Big Ten. Watching the Irish start their umpteenth “comeback season” 0-2 would just about do the trick for me.

Nice quote from that thread
is there a harder thing in ANY SPORT than being a Notre Dame football fan right now? It’s sickening watching this team lose. Turnover after turnover after turnover, missed tackles and penalties…So frustrating. For the past 10 years watching ND football, no lead has felt safe. The defense folds down the stretch and for the life of me I can’t figure out how the corners aren’t coached to turn and find the football.. Darrin Walls at Pitt 2 years ago to Gary Gray, a 5th year senior, getting picked on while playing good coverage but no ball awareness tonight. You can’t win until you stop losing. Amen.

My dad called me today

I was driving home from going somewhere. He was giving me play-by-play over the phone. He’s an ND grad (and very Catholic… a philosphy/theology professor, in fact). That’s worth noting, because this was his reaction:

“Well, FUCK. Michigan just scored. Game over…. Wait, are they reviewing it? What is there to review? This game is over! Just let this game end now, please.”

He said this all in a monotone, like he was resigned to it. He was silent for a bit then he said, “yeah, they reviewed it, but the play stands, it’s over.” Then spent the next five minutes telling me how bad ND’s defense is and blamed it on Kelly (already).

I felt bad for him. He is, ya’know, my dad.
