What do we need to do to get this over the goal line?

I'm guessing not have a half dozen moderately wealthy guys stumbling over the justification of using the word C-N-U-T would be a start.

1) If it’s directed at a woman, maybe.
2) Not sure too many Black people would sign off on that analogy.

As far as Finebaum, he’s not a serious person. He was the template Skip Bayless used for his shtick. It’s obvious he doesn’t believe half of what he says and just wants to get a reaction from people like a petulant 6-year-old. It’s stupid and I have no patience for it nor anyone amused by it.

1 - bullshit.
2 - not your call.

Finebaum - who cares. You've already lost me on that topic.

Directed at women in America, yes, especially for the generations covered on this board, highly offensive and I've never directed that word at a female.

Calling Paul Finebaum a cunt is a weird thing to do in America. I own that. But saying it's roughly equivalent to using the n word is bizarre.

Then it makes your proclamation towards Finebaum useless. If you're not owning it, then what's the point?

And back to my point: people who suffer the indignity of those slurs are the ones to judge them. Not a bunch of crackers getting high on their on vibes.

The hundreds of thousands of people (some of them women!) who have heard it used in a comedy club or a movie theater or at home watching HBO aren’t enough judges for you?

Massive "whatevs" from me.

Can we at least agree that if there is a c*ntmuppet here, it's Harbaugh?

Backup lineman’s draft declaration
Love the cheeky bible verse reference. People will look it up and find out it reads, “These people are not drunk, as some of you are assuming. Nine o'clock in the morning is much too early for that."

Are you actually wondering why women (and minorities) might not speak up when the term gets used for edgy laughs and guffaws? The term is rooted in dominance and misogyny. "Know your place."

The massive whatevs from a bunch of you is just ugly as fuck, and if you have daughters? Do better. If you don't? Then who cares, amiright?

Hilarious.

Still waiting on my buddy to see if he can pop loose a couple of tix... He seemed confident early in the week, but looks like his AD connection is turning up empty, which... yeah, I get it... Probably the toughest ticket for The Game since... Shit, probably ever?

Anyways, it's going to be cold AF and the drive isn't terrible but I'd also be fine not driving 15 hours inside of 2 days.

Go Blue and all that.

Ivy league football is boring so I'd say stay home and watch Ohio State and Michigan

I teased Iowa to +8.5 and the over to 18.5. Knock on wood, looking pretty good.

We talked about Iowa and their fans tongue in cheek adoration of their punter in here last year.

This is like watching two drunk bums slap fight each other on ice.

The only reason Iowa had the extra time was the Nebraska clock keeper trying to cheat too. Gotta love Big Ten football.

Man do I hope Michigan wins tomorrow and then Iowa chokes them out 6-3 or something and UM fans have to spend a couple days trying to convince us that losing to a team with a great punter is worth staying in the top 4.

At least one Chippewa had a good game today. Meeder for the win!

(Not for nothing, but it's really their D that's an elite unit. But, yeah, naw... Whoever wins tomorrow is going to murder them in Indy.)

Taking the over 43 in the Penn State-Michigan State tilt would've been a bad beat for the ages.

Penn State 42 Michigan State 0.

Cmon, bud. A number of us did give Nonlinear and Brian some mild grief over their defense of Michigan. And, calling Paul Finebaum a bad name is inconsequential imho. But, we’re all friends here. Once the point is made, there’s no reason to dig in and make a federal case about it. At least that’s the way I see it.

It's not about the defense of Michigan. Replace Michigan with HillTopper State. It's about subjugating women.

I respect him for wanting to stay out there but it’s just painful to watch Lee Corso these days.

Michigan State hires Jonathan Smith from Oregon State. Good hire to get a guy away from his alma mater

ETA: And MSU leaking it during The Game is typical little brother bullshit but you just have to laugh at the thirstiness for attention.

Kind of insane to think that if the B1G had done away with divisions this year these two teams would have to play each other again next week.

Gus Johnson should do commercials for five-hour energy, or some other heavily caffeinated energy drink. I generally enjoy listening to him, but I get worn out by the constant patter and emoting.

I enjoy him if I’m a neutral observer but had to mute him today. And Joel Klatt is beyond worthless as a color guy.
