X Ways to Survive Waking Up Late

by Robocop on Oct 14, 2011 6:44 AM CDT in Analysis/Reaction

When I wake up in the morning

And the 'larm gives out a warning

And I don't think I'll ever make it on time.

By the time I grab my books,

And I give myself a look

I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by.

But it's all right because Jimmy's Saved By The Horn.

Follow me after the jump for your buzzer friendly X Ways.

I - I know goaltender's will talk to their posts and give them a little rub when a puck rings off one and stays out. But how is Jimmy supposed to get up to the clock so he can give it a little kiss?

II - Schneider wants both those goals back, but can't really hang any game on a goalie when the forwards fail to score any.

III - I really enjoy games like this. We didn't have to worry about the 'Nucks gooning it up because they were losing. Just their fans.

IV - I hope I'm not the only one that noticed the garbage in the NHL 12 commercial during the first period. Let's just say, it involved a #7 Chelios SHARKS jersey.

V - Wasn't it nice to not be the team on the back end of back-to-back games?

VI - Only Mr. Magician would try a full speed spin-o-rama to beat 3 defenders. And the only reason it didn't work, is because they tripped him.

VII - 82 GA for the season? YES PLEASE. #insaneextrapolations

VIII - Not sure what Bert was complaining about. You just can't throw a body check while racing for the puck.

IX - Each game, I'm liking the choices of Peters and Blashill more and more. The new commitment to back checking is really showing.

X - Natural Cycle, FTW!!!!

Next Up - @Minnesota Wild, -next Wednesday- Saturday at 8pm. And I don't think they'll adjust the start time so we can watch the Tigers.

they also aren't adjusting my chorus concert

so i’m definitely missing Saturday’s game.

they need that 82 GA for the season. after all, they are OBVIOUSLY going to go 0 for 437 on the power play this season.

You wanna tell me that to mah face?!

Apparently you missed the Howe blasphemy in NHL 2012

He had gone Wild.

I didn’t even notice that, but at least that was in game footage, as they’re talking about putting legends on any team you want.

Not during the “real life” stuff before hand.

I was talking to my cousin yesterday (a state fan) and he was all up in arms about me cheering for U of M because I didnt go to school there. I dont see why that should matter. just wanted everyones opinion on this! To me its like I didnt play for the Wings so I shouldn’t get to cheer? What do you guys think?

By the way

I went to LSSU which has no football team! Still cheer on some laker hockey!

WALMART WOLVERINE!!!!!

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, everyone in this state picks one side or the other when they’re kids. And for most of them, neither school is the right fit when it comes time to go to college.

Should they be forced to not cheer for either team just because they’ve finally grown up and gone to college? I don’t think so.

College athletics rivalries are weird things

Even the people who say you shouldn’t ever say “we” or “us” when talking about your favorite team have to kind of shut up when it comes to alma maters, because somebody who went to State actually IS a Sparty.

As a Division-II school matriculator, I root for whomever the fuck I want.

Then again, I didn’t grow up surrounded by fans of one school or another. That’s another part of being an Army brat that kids have to adjust to.

I am a life-long Ohio resident

and to some that means that I should cheer for OSU. However, my college team of choice for football has always been Notre Dame. Main reason for that — I’m an Irish/Lithuanian Catholic. Now, when it comes to college basketball, that’s a horse of a different color. My undergraduate school was a business college with not much in the way of sports teams and now is no longer in existence. I did, however, get my MA in History from Cleveland State University and they have had a few really good men’s basketball teams. So, that’s where I’m at on college sports. Now, high school football, I only cheer for the best — Cleveland St. Ignatius Wildcats, 10 time Ohio Division 1 champions.

I live in Ohio

I’m on the West end, so I root for OSU, and the Indians. But that’s where my Ohio loyalties end. Lions, Pistons, Wings. But I’m stuck going to the University of Toledo after transferring from Ohio State.

Older brother and sister went to Michigan

and then my family hit hard times. I worked my tail off and got a degree from Wayne State. I’m very proud of that but I root for Michigan damnit.

Save-A-Lot Sparty!!

Now we are even!!!

I root for whomever the fuck I want.

My feelings exactly. I see no reason why anyone should be told they cant cheer for a certain team!! When I asked him if he would feel different if I had said Go Green he didn’t know how to respond!! Just thought this would be an interesting discussion. Sorry if I stepped on any toes!
