I am a Michigan State fan so this is the highest level of 'freude I have ever achieved.

Choco1980 posted:I live in the same county as U of M and care not a goddamn bit about Handegg. Every year people lose their goddamn minds over this particular game. Like, people in the same house won't even talk to each other, and like all anyone can say for like a month in advance is "that big U of M/MSU game is coming up!" even when they don't like sports. My dad's one of those die-hard U of M fans and he went to a completely unrelated college. I just don't get the fervor. Shut up, nerd. Also people made a big deal out of the couch because East Lansing is so often made fun of for those kinds of shenanigans, so it's funny to see Michigan fans pull the same poo poo. Railing Kill posted:I don't mind sports and I follow a few myself, but I don't get the fervor over college football. And I don't mean, "I'm a nerdy goon that doesn't get sports." I mean college football is a loving joke and I don't understand why anyone takes it seriously. This is a level of football where lovely players like Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel could put up 500 yards per game. It's garbage football. Why does anyone care about this when there's better (i.e. pro) football being played all over the country? Because amazing poo poo like this happens and the NFL is utterly boring much of the time. I could go into more detail but I don't want to derail the thread, so I'll just say that I've been following both for most of my life and I would rather watch a Tuesday night MAC game than your average NFL game between teams that aren't mine (and since my team is the Lions I might even scratch that caveat).

Orcs and Ostriches posted:I don't follow football at all, so I don't know who that is or why it's happening, but I have to ask. Why are none of the blue team on that side of the field, and why are none of them reacting after play starts? White just walks in and tanks the QB. Thing is, nobody knows why it happened, which is why it's so amazing. But the best guess is that it was supposed to confuse the defense and that they were never supposed to actually snap the ball. Here's a write up: http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/18/9565897/the-colts-ran-what-may-be-the-worst-trick-play-in-nfl-history

Icon Of Sin posted:I don't follow football, but I went to App State when they pulled off the upset vs the Wolverines with a blocked punt that App recovered and ran back for a game-winning touchdown. Some things never change It was a blocked field goal and they didn't score on the play, it just ended the game. Glorious either way. To this day they're the second most popular team in East Lansing. When I was moving into my undergrad in rural Ohio my dad pointed out a guy in an App State hoodie and shouted "That guy's my hero!" This was three years after the game. Dude just had a friend who went there.

Choco1980 posted:In semi-related 'freude, it's hilarious to me just how much hateful bile-churning vitriol State fans have for U of M year round where like it almost seems like they enjoy hating U of M more than loving State. This is funny because besides the days they actually play each other, the average U of M fan's opinion of State is either indifference or "Well at least they're still Michigan" if they're winning. Who U of M hates truly is Ohio State University. Nothing pisses off a State fan more than when you point this out to them.

Choco1980 posted:Re: Jaywalking, I'm from the Ann Arbor area in Michigan. The city has been NOTORIOUS for people giving zero fucks crossing the road, to the point where around five years ago they passed a law that if you're driving anywhere in the city limits, ALL streets count as crosswalk zones for you to yield in, just because they were fed up with trying to stop the pedestrians. I've heard of people getting tickets for not slowing down when someone was standing on the curb because they might have been crossing. Years ago a coworker of my dad's went to DC on business and started crossing streets the same way Ann Arborites do. Day ONE he gets hit by a car and breaks his leg. Between this and the constant construction I enter a boiling rage every time I cross Ann Arbor's city limits. Now I live in Chicago where either a) pedestrians slowly and brazenly cross in front of four lanes of traffic because there was 1 second left on the meter or b) pedestrians cross when they're supposed to but the guy behind you honks and flips you off for not plowing them over when you're waiting to turn.

Its a win/win for Chicago police. This dude was way out in the suburbs though. The thing people say is deflecting outrage about the 9-year-old is a loving Spike Lee movie.

Solice Kirsk posted:Yeah, this is what I was getting at. When he was a fallen cop hero he was close to Chicago. Now that he's a criminal poo poo bag coward he's from "close to Wisconsin." And the Spike Lee movie Chiraq was a bigger story a few months ago when they were still filming it. I haven't seen anything too much about it lately anyways. The trailer just came out so the outrage cycle has started up again. Rhymefest (notable local rapper to the unaware) demanded an apology to the city.

speshl guy posted:My senior class stacked chairs up in the chorus room and painted SENIORS [graduation year] in regulation removable paint on some of the windows. We also had to do clear ours ahead of time, although it was a bit more creative. Yet we still got in trouble because some students hosed up cleaning fake blood off the windows (it was a "zombie apocalypse" theme) that they scratched them to the point of needing replacement. Then our upper school director (basically equivalent to a principal) had the gall to tell us that we needed to raise money to pay for it three days before graduation. Like we would put out some jar at our junior-senior dinner and say "hey parents, we hosed up, give us money."

Desuwa posted:This isn't one of them but every time I see close calls with death I'm reminded of the stupid poo poo I did as a kid that brought me thaaaat close to death. Like sticking my head out of a train car window maybe 20 seconds away from some metal signs that would have sheared my head clean off. Or that one time I jumped off a bridge. Me and my neighborhood friends did all sorts of dumb poo poo on my neighbors netless trampoline, most notably attempting to play tackle football on it which resulted in him having a seizure, but the closest I ever came to death was a high school community trip to help clear out a blighted home. They let us use axes for some reason and I stood too closely behind a guy who was chopping down an overgrown shrub or something. He swung and missed and then stopped himself with the blade of the axe aiming straight at my chest. I doubt he remembers it but I think about that every once in a while.

They confiscate all the dildos and threaten to jail the manager (me, the second time) and are general complete fuckheads about the whole thing. In Dekalb all the dildo boxes have a giant neon sticker that say "FOR NOVELTY AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, NOT FOR USE." It's rigoddamndiculous. Doesn't Georgia also have like a hundred counties for some reason?

ranbo das posted:Some top class NFL schadenfreude just went down. Two teams (Steelers and Bengals) who were big rivals were playing each other. A Steelers player knocked a Bengals player out with a hit the refs decided was legal. Later in the game as "revenge" a Bengal who was known for being a dirty player (Burfict) knocked out the Steelers quarterback (Ben). As Ben was being taken to the locker room for x rays all the bengals fans cheered and threw poo poo at him. The bengals score to go ahead, and the steelers get the ball and immediately turn it over to Burfict, who literally runs off the field to the locker room in celebration because he's so sure he won the game for his team. The next play, the Bengals turn the ball over and the quarterback he hurt (Ben) comes back on the field and leads the steelers down the field. Burfict takes a dirty shot at a defenseless wide reciever, concussing him and giving the Steelers the yards they need to win. The schadenfreude is we, the general public because now we have to deal with Steeler fans of all people going "stay classy  " while wearing a rapist jersey and talking about "thugs."
