M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

[iam416]

She's not my cup of tea, but her songs generally catchy and often speak superfically but very relatably to troubles that most people go through and, in particular, teeneage girls and such. She owned an entire generation with her music. I mean, credit where credit is due..

For example, I waaaaay prefer Zach Bryan over Morgan Wallen, but the latter is really good at putting out reasonably good lyrical songs that are catchy as fuck. And he's selling out stadiums. The former is absolutely organic with fantabulous song-writing, but whatever.

Having a 20-yr old daughter -- I totally get the Swift dominance.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Basically all that but I'd also add that her concerts (from everything I can tell) are generally long and lavish productions so you feel like you got your money's worth even with the insane prices. She doesn't play for an hour, it's more like 3 or 4. Spaces out her studio releases well and has managed to get her fans to buy up new versions of old songs she doesn't own the rights to.

At some point I imagine she'll get too "old" to still be followed by new teenagers but she's got an enormous horde of millennials and zoomers following her already.

[iam416]

Oh yeah -- her shows are 3+ hours. She plays everything. It's definitely worth reiterating that she's earned it.

Now, the Kelce nonsense is shitbreathing stupid, but I get it, too -- she's kind of a big deal. In fact, I have it on pretty good authority that Alabam"Alum" departed us not for whatever ostensible reasons he proferred, but rather to blow through his ill-gotten administrator spoils following Swift from stadium to stadium

Haha!

The thing is with this UFM to MSU, I don't care about the average lunatic Spartyy fan saying and posting pics of him in Sparty gear. - But when beat writers and podcasters are doing it Im >> like get real.

So I called MSU Justin Spiro Host of "The Spiro Avenue Show" for doing it and he had a funny reply.


What would you suggest we do? Face reality and hate life?

[Mike]

Yes. Their reality should make them sad.

[Jeff Buchanan]

osu didn't look great in the first have. For two high powered offenses total yards suggests something less than that characterization. It's 10 - 10 at the half. The Terps will receive the 3rd quarter KO.

[lineygoblue]

And we have to play the Turtles at Maryland. Right before the OSU game.

Classic trap game setup.

[THE_WIZARD_]

HARBAUGH!!!!!!! fears no turtle.

[Jeff Buchanan]

HARBAUGH!!!!!!! fears no turtle.

Correct

The thing about this game is that McCord is a very average QB, osu has a milk-toast running game with trouble in short yardage/Goal to Go situations and their defense is exploitable up front. The backend looks like just guys.

In a contest right now between M and Terps, M might have trouble with Tagovailoa but he creates enough trouble for himself to off-set his athleticism. M's defense up front is better than osu's

From what I'm seeing of osu against the world, the world is ahead. I like M's chances in both the Maryland and osu games......for now.

[THE_WIZARD_]

THE WORLD!!!!!!! trails Third Base Boy by 10 now

[klondike]

God, the terps are crap

[Tom W]

God, the terps are crap

Yeah- they got spooked and folded. That hasn’t happened to a team in Columbus since last November.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Owie

[lineygoblue]

Terps will be tough at home against us, but they did a huge el-foldo in Columbus today.
