Battle of the Bell 2023 - UC Week

The only ones with a Super Bowl winning QB and president are Miami, Stanford, Michigan, Navy, and Delaware. Stanford and Delaware don’t have hockey and I’m pretty confident Navy has never produced a Miss America, so the only contender would be Michigan. I don’t care enough to check whether or not they meet that list.

Michigan has a Miss America to its name as well. Nina Davuluri - Wikipedia

But I don’t believe any SB-winning coaches went to Michigan, as Jim Harbaugh lost the Harbaugh Bowl.

Reasons for optimism: We hung around last year despite crappy offense, this year we have Gabbert back plus Larvadain. Our U loss looks decent, UC’s Pitt win was against a QB who threw 10/32. No more Fickell coaching against us.

Reasons for pessimism: Chuck Martin is head coach and it’s an OOC game against a team with a pulse. Also Nippert at night.

The second list far outweighs the first. I think the offense may look more functional than last year, but it’ll still wind up something like 34-17 bad guys.

The Miz did win the main event at WrestleMania one year. Granted, even as champion he was clearly playing third wheel in The Rock/John Cena storyline during that match… but still, he’s on the list of Mania main event winners.

…a true Miami-man!

That said, he’s got maybe two championship titles…fire up that kiln, let’s get another statue. :laughing:

Did you know that Smale’s nickname is Judge?

Even if this isn’t true, I’m going to always believe this.

That would take effort and work, I don’t think this list has changed in about five years.

There was a guy who used to show up at all the big events in running attire we called “Running Man”. He was impossible to miss. Where is he on this list?

He’s a 2 time WWE Grand Slam Champion (World, Tag, IC, and US!). Pretty impressive career TBH.,

Gonna call it now, if we somehow pull off the upset tomorrow we’re calling it the Rosh Hashanah Miracle. Shana tova to all the other Jews out there.

I doubt anyone here knows the answer but I’ll ask if anyways: are those extensions? Or is that a natural mullet. Honest question.

If the O line can’t block the defense reasonably well the QB can’t
take enough time to pass deep.

Yep, that’s why I first mentioned we first have to be successful with short, quick passes and screens to get their D back on their heels to hopefully allow a few longer patterns. Unlikely I know…

Just keep listening; the rhythm is gonna get you.

To be fair, since I’m talking about the Rock Lobster virus that’s going to mentally incapacitate all the UC players and coaches, it would be more accurate to say “algorithm is gonna get you”. It’s subtle, but it’s 2023 after all. Again, I feel terrible doing this, but it’s time for a damn win.
