Badgers in town..get my gun Martha...

Well its 530 friday, and Im on the final approach to football saturday.I've got to stage my cooler.The truck is loaded and ready.Weather is supposed to be like today, which will make for a great day for, you guessed it, FOOTBALL.The Jagers ok, the UDM's are to be mixed.Im really wondering how the next door neighbors are doing.Jamie and I smashed them with UDM's last time.They are nice guys, but your typical middle twenty somethings.Bulletproof.2 out of 3 of them didnt see the game.They was wreck-i-fied (Def.Wreckified; to be wrecked, to be smashed, to be sent into an alcohol induced vomit fest).The menu will consist of the common grilling meats and the usual board of fare.Shrimp,garlic stuffed olives,pepperoni and cheddar cheese.Probably chili from Sarah.She makes excellent chili, which serves as an excellent stomach base for consuming alcohol. Wisconsin is coming of a win from last week.Their confidence is up obviously. I hope my Spartans arent taking them lightly because of Wisco's poor conference record.Wisco's hot shot tight end is out for the season, so that helps. I think our Defense will blitz and disrupt them pretty good.Im really hoping for a couple turnovers from the badge QB.A pick or two would be nice. The badger D will wear out just like all the others if PJ Hill cant sustain drives and wear our our D line.That'll be tough considering we have about 3 or 4 guys to rotate in and out.Wisco's stats arent that bad, but the record stands on it own.
Im optimistic, and I think if we limit penalties and turnovers, if not eliminate them, we should win this one.Gather shield and spear Spartans, the badgers are here to die.

Happy Halloween

Happiest Halloween freinds,guests, Spartans. Tonights the night when spirit veil is thinnest and it's time to make offerings and celebrate the afterlife of our loved ones.If your not into it, its time to inflate all your scary white trash lawn crap.
If I hear one more weirdo say," We like Halloween better than Christmas!", Im gonna get angry.Not similar holidays.Not close.The relatives you dont really like dont bee-bopp over to collect free shit on Halloween.Not worth the drive.Christmas, now thats worth the trip, just in case, you've had a good year and you spent some money.Besides, on Halloween you can interact differantley, and I've been to some fun parties.Probably, the best house party I have had to date, was a party the night of Thanksgiving.Everyone has the nextday off, everyone has been doing the family thing ALL DAY.Yippeee.Let the wine flow and smoke em if ya got em.That was a really good mixture of people. Never drink Sun country wine cooler that was left over from the turkey day party 6 months after the party.2-2 litre bottles will F' you up, and make your head hurt so bad, you want what ever is worse than dieing.You deserve it.Jamie and I were roommates,most of his friends came over.That house was a rats nest, but it was home.Good times. We all pushed limits back then. Drinking, eating, sports, you name it. 3 on 3 basketball, everyday. Taking STUPID risks. Rights of manhood I reckon. I have no regrets. Some things I'm not proud of, but not regreting.Halloween is a holiday when adults can participate more, hence why "..like better than Christmas..", so its cool.If your a confirmed spirit chaser or voodoo priestess or horror movie buff, its a good month.I want to watch Lord of Illusions tomorrow night.I love that movie.Nix is the shiznit.Butterfield is particularly nasty, cutting everyone up.Cult leaders and the like have always made for good villians.Not all powerful, but with minions and superior control, they wreak havok.Scott Bakula did a good job in that flick, and so did Famke whats her name.Nix said to Swann," I was born to murder the world,you could come along and keep me company....of course you know, when we're done, I'll have to kill you".Well, he wasnt Nix then.He was transformed into the Puritan.Good movie, check it out.Imma gonna tawk bout foo-ball nex.MMkkkkaayy?

Retraction

In error Ohio State is on bye THIS week and not preceeding the UM game,sooo,it changes nothing really, other than the buckeyes have a week longer to sulk.What are the odds Illinois wins this week?

Football,football,football

Oh my god!! Two more home games!! AHHHH...NNOOOO!! At the conclusion of this season, LOST will have participated in 9 games of a 12 game schedule.What a ride so far! I think most of us are holding strong, Mc Caesar is wearing a bit, but he's a fu@#ing trooper.We have got REAL badgers showing up this week.McOrifice has invited Josh (son-in-law) and his father, both or at least one is a Wisco alumni.Guests are fun, and they will be sacrificed on the altar.........
I mean, they will be treated with all the customary respect and so forth.I have met Josh , and he's a regular kinda guy, so we should all have fun, as usual.Fist will probably be showing up late, so he will unfortunately miss out on the Bocce action, but I think he's learned by now, that his run has ended.Sarah, Georgiebitch and yours truly are all within 1 point of each other tournament wise, so the last two should be a fast and furious race.I did really well when OSU came to town, Im hopeful to keep up the pace.I have BIG plans if I happen to win the tournament, plus I get to host the Tailgate tuneup.That will be spectacular.
At any rate, on to football.....
Heres the deal skip.
Minnesota's sched is as follows Northwestern @ home
Michigan @ home
Wisconsin AWAY
Iowa @ home
Save the Wolverinoes, all these could be losses.I dont buy into Minnesota magically turning into a ranked team after a 1-11 season last year.I know, I know, their record is..blah blah blah.Whatever.Minnesota has the top receiver in the nation and is playing inspired defense, but I really feel that ONE home loss or a key injury, and WHAM.They plummet back to earth.At any rate, they wont end the year with one conference loss.I am convinced.Iowa maybe.

Ohio States sched is as follows Northwestern AWAY
Illinois AWAY
Michigan @ home with a bye week prior to UM.
The sched obviously favors OSU to end with a single conference loss.I really think the loss to Penn State last weekend poo-pooed the spirits of bucknut nation,and it also exposed more weaknesses with Pryor.Unfortunatley, I really dont see any remaining teams that could ding up OSU, unless OSU provides the fuel for the fire.A bad game at Illinois is possible, maybe a slip at NW (I wouldnt bet on it) and UM is going to get crushed.If UM beats OSU at home this year I shall officially know NOTHING about college football.I would trade my reputation if it means MSU tops OSU in conference record.That eases the struggle to the Rose Bowl.But it wont happen, the Wolverinoes are road kill under the wheels of the Beanie train.

Penn State sched is as follows Iowa AWAY
Indiana @ home
MSU @ home
Has anyone spotted who my new best friend is? If you havent, I'll tell you later on.Penn State has shown on the national stage that they are a team LARGE and IN CHARGE.They have had a few spots where they slipped (Purdue for one), but overall, they look healthy and well coached.BIG SURPRISE.Any loss on the way to face MSU will surely help our cause,but I honestly think its going to settle at the end.The Penn State website and the media is already hyping the MSU/Penn St game.They assume a lot, considering MSU has got to beat Wisconsin (looking like a heartbeat has been established with a win at Iowa) and the Great Satan.T.G.S (Purdue shall always be referred to as the Great Satan, or TGS) looks bad with controversy within the team, and really nothing to play for.

My new best friends , if you havent got it yet is IOWA.Yes, our farm friends to the west.Iowa can knock out Minnesota, if the Phers can make it all the way to the end without losing AND with any blessing of luck, can put a conference loss on Penn State this weekend.The ding on PennState would put ALL the pressure on PSU for a matchup with MSU.If , but, what, coulda, shoulda,etc.etc. Spartan nation NEEDS the titanic PSU game to sum up the best season in a long time.The hawkeyes have two losses already, so they are all but eliminated from Rose Bowl pictures.

Lots to consider.Plans within plans for sure.Hang on Spartans, glory lies ahead.

Burn the ships warriors, for Spartans, there is only two ways home
Victory
or
Death

MSU & L.O.S.T triumph in Ann Arbor

The last down has been played, the last whistle blown. Everyone has returned home and the groundscrew cleans up Michigan Stadium.The final result? VICTORY.

Yes, you heard me. VICTORY. And boy is it sweet. MSU overcame a REALLY bad call on a "pylon touchdown", misssed field goals, a hostile crowd, and a seemingly inspired Wolverinoe squad and most of all, gained its first victory in The Big House since 1990.18 years of frustration and struggle.It by no means indicates a passing of power in a series that has not been kind to MSU, but it does signal the arrival of MSU on the Big 10 top 5 radar and also helps establish Mark Dantonio as a solid coach and program builder.With MSU being on TV every game this year, hopefully more recruits will be interested in playing ball at MSU.

My LOST cohorts and I , well, in a word or two, TORE THAT PLACE UP! As our official "away" game , and yet another oppurtunity to scratch off a stadium from our list of houses in the Big Ten that we have invaded, it was , overall a wonderful day! It all started with a very generous portion of alcohol at the famous Stivers restaurant and bar.Upon arrival, we were booed out of the bar, with a smattering of support by some Spartans, and a complete lack of seating.We took a table just outside the bar and ordered our food.Fried shrimp,wet burrito,beef nachos and fried mushrooms.Delish.With pitcher beer and STIFF mixed drinks, we carried on greeting Spartans and harassing UM faithful as they came and went.Whiskey sours, gin and tonic, bloody marys and 7 & 7's.Whiskey to "make us surly" I growled.The jokes never stopped or the laughter, and all the while, Caesar with a steady eye on the clock. "Promise me I will see kick off...promise me!", McDofist cried. Reassured, Caesar rested.For 15 seconds. Then the look to the wall clock and another, " come on, I wanna be on the bus for kickoff!!". Keep in mind, the game starts at 330pm, our park and ride parking lot is all of 11 minetes away, and its 135pm ."drink your gin & tonic", we said.2 min. later, "come on!!! I wanna be on the bus!!!", Caesar pleaded.Relenting, Mother Superior picked up the food/bar tab ( so long it was like three pages or something) and we made our way into the bar again.Spotting a friend of old days, LOST had a brief tuning hum and then..you guessed it, the MSU fight song.LOUD and PROUD.We belted that song out in that tiny bar, all the UMies coiled in fear, hissing.When "victory for MSU!!" rolled out and the bar fell silent, applause and cheering.LOST conquers again in the form and function of our sing along deep in the heart of Penn State territory!I have yet to see another group of adults with the enthusiasm we convey.

The ride to Miller road was quick and the UDM's(upside down margaritas) flowed like the Red Cedar.McOrifice hammering Red Bull to insure good attention span and to fight off grain alcohol,Jamie , Sarah and me attacking Jagermeister and UDM with the force of a runaway dump truck.Soon after arrival at Miller, the lovely Judy showed up.Her face indifferant at the prospect of how drunk we were getting, she held fast as McOrifice attempted to extinguish her fears.With Warpigs blaring in the background, the 2nd bus arrived."Hurry!Hurry!"'McFist slobbercated ( Def. "slobbercated"; to drool in a drunken state whilst speaking).

Quickly we shuffled to the bus, paid and boarded.When we settled in the very rear of the bus, we sang that song again.LOUD.This disturbed the bus driver and he growled at us.The conversation was unrefined and volumnous, of course.Poor Judys eyes looking out the bus window, trying to disassociate with the drunkards.I cant blame her, its not much fun if your not boisterous to.Anywho, we exited the bus and with some confusion on how Michigan fans line up for bathrooms, we voided and entered the lions den.Wow.Big stadium, filled to the roof with Wolverinoes.Tight seating, but not to bad.Cozy.One thing that struck me was the amount of green.We made a good showing in the big house, and Jeni commented that you could really hear us on the telecast.Loud on TV ?I thought.Cool.Very cool. My whole crew did what it does best.We brought the Spartans sitting near to life.We made noise on every down while on defense and really brought our A game.I am very proud of our crew and our team.The battle on the field see-sawed as I had foreseen with Michigan tieing the score approaching half time in less than a min or so.I mean they strolled right down the field and BANG.TD Michigan.The crowd exploded.Time expired, the teams left the field, and we waited.When the second half was underway, you could see the UM D line wearing out, just as I predicted.After a MSU score, the Prophetic and Wise Bishop of Bocce leans over and says,"now we need a turnover!".And almost as if it was on a cue,BANG.Interception.The first play from scrimmage for UM and Threet throws a pick.Underthrown ball it looked like.The game went on and UM crumbled under the weight of MSU's offense.It was amazing.We pranced gavotteing about singing our song and rolling in the Wolverines shame like a dog and a 4 day dead racoon.As we walked to our victory charoits (AATA busses) LOST high fived and revved up EVERY Spartan we saw, until we boarded the bus.Glowing with satisfaction, we were carried off into the night.What a pleasure.What a memory.WHAT A GAME.

University of What?

Tomorrow is the big day.Michigan State vs Michigan in the big house, or that dump on main and university drive as I like to call it.I worked about half a block from Michigan Stadium for a couple years and every Saturday, I would mercilessly jeer them as they all shuffled by to see the Wolverinoes play football.Campus was kinda fun, but I was 20 or so at the time, so I was consumed entirely with trying to breed all the college students, as most red blooded boys are.
Michigan holds a HUGE lead all time in the series, meaningless.Michigan has won like 8 or 9 straight against us, including two overtime wins and last years "comeback",meaningless.UM bozos all over talking sports out their ass saying how Bo Schembechler, yes I said Bo, and his crew are gonna "wipe the floor" with my warriors.Ignorant.The Rodriguez supporters ALL saying that a win against MSU would be a crowning acheivement for this UM squad.MORE ignorance, considering the only thing most UM fans can clearly focus on is how in the world can they beat the buckeyes.Wont happen.And all the while, here is good old MSU plugging along,6-2 overall,3-1 conference, and feeling entirely optimistic about the rest of this season as well as the future.With all the redshirt freshman and sophomores on this team that contribute right now, the future is so bright, you need sun block spf 4800.Better yet, basketball season is right around the corner(rubbing my hands together,grinch like grin plastered all over my face).
Heres the deal,chuck.
I see a 40-50 % chance of rain tomorrow.I see a UM squad that gives the ball away 4 or 5 times a game, in a spread offense ,that cant pass because its wet.They certainly wont run the I formation and run straight at us unless all UM wants to do is throw bodies at the machine gun nest that is the Spartan D.I see MSU blasting away at UM's D line, with a tight game up to the half. When the second half starts is when I see the magic happening.Ringer wears them down getting big and bigger chunks of yards.I see UM getting desperate and forcing plays that will result in at least 2 interceptions for MSU.Both of which could result in 6 points, or at a minimum, good field posistion, and another set of downs to punch an already tired UM defense around.
Overall, I see MSU on top.I cant see anything else.I dont predict scores, but I can say it will be a WAR.

Welcome to all

Welcome to all who enter here.This is numero uno blog entry,and I assure you all,I shall comment on things you nothing about,and things you know better than me.No strings,comment freely,and as always, you reap what you sow.Have fun understanding me, no one else does.Well maybe my wife.Anyway, this entry falls on the heels of a stunning home loss for my beloved Michigan State Spartans to the evil empire, Ohio State. 7-45 folks. MSU was 6-1 overall and 3-0 conference.I wanted this one bad and so did all my pals.The crowd in Spartan stadium was not in good form.I was shocked, it was like lambs to slaughter in there.As soon as Big Daddy and I arrived, we felt something was wrong.OSU was up 7-0.We got settled in our seats and proceeded to do what we do.Make noise, pump up the crowd, and get the party started in our section.We carried on through the scoring, the turnovers OSU turned into points on the board,the OSU faithful flapping their jaws,and so on.Along about the end of the 3rd quarter, OSU scored yet again, and people in my row picked up their little seat cushions and began shuffling toward the door.When they got right in front of me, I did something I never thought I'd do.I looked at these people in the eyes and said,"get out, we don't need you anyway!".I was so disgusted with just about everyone around me,I turned nasty.The liquor didn't help,but I wasn't pushing people around either.The team looked as if it didn't have a good game plan for OSU.Or any game plan for that matter.These guys on the football squad have come so far so fast,I cant fault them anymore than they have themselves.I know the disappointment they must feel.I wanted to get in there and bust some Ohio ass so bad, I was seething.Not a lot of obscenity I don't recall.Indeed we lost the game and some pride.Ohio State falls off the schedule this year.Cant say I'm sad about missing, basically, all of Tyrelle Pryor's career.If OSU does anything, I think he's outie after his sophomore year.Ohio State plays host to Penn State, #3 in the nation, this week.Its homecoming for OSU I think.Penn hasn't won in Ohio Stadium since 1978.30 years of getting whupped.We will see what happens.More football tomorrow.MSU vs UM this week.The wolverines in the big house.A must win, we shall discuss later.Go Green!!!
