Bizarre Google Searches Week of 12/09

When you are a wildly successful and omnipresent blog monolith like TYSOTB, Google returns you for all kinds of different search terms.  Weekly we  take you behind the curtain and share our 5 favorite Google search terms that led readers to our site in the past 7 days.  All terms are sic, unless noted otherwise.

It should be further emphasized that these are ACTUAL search terms that led to our sports blog.  You can’t make this kind of shit up.

#5 “Was Woody Hayes an Asshole?”

This term was almost certainly submitted by the sophisticated gentleman pictured above.

As to the question, it certainly depends how you define asshole.  Was he a man of notorious temper, who routinely attacked television crews and destroyed down markers? Perhaps.  Did he punch a Clemson player in the throat?  Oh yeah.  But was he an asshole?  The TYSOTB stance is that those things mostly mostly just make  you totally awesome.  Woody Hayes was the kind of batshit crazy old coot that gave college football personality.  He ruled.

#4 “Handsome Vato”

Oh, why hello there.  I see my reputation proceeds me.  I am excited that the legend of my classicaly chiseled features is no longer limited to North America, but now a global phenomena.   It is only fair to the rest of the world.

  #3: “did sandra bullock wear breast enhancers”

Wow.  My guess is no, no she didn’t  However if she did, in whatever the hell endeavour you are talking about, they are THE WORST damned breast enhancers in the universe.    And what does that have to do with my gotdang sports blog? 

#2 “sweet backyard football routes”

This one absolutely kills me.  It brought some lucky visitor to this post, my piece on how awesome the Wikipedia entry on the Run & Shoot Offense is.

What makes this so gnarly is that the searcher was not interested in an “Effective backyard football route” or even a “Good Backyard Football Route”… but instead a “SWEET backyard football route”.   Hmmm… stoner cadence… football playing… that can only mean one man: former OSU Star QB and current EFF BEE EYE AGENT Johnny Utah!

#1 “Nick Saban that godless communist”

It took quite a bit of convincing to SB and DB that this wasn’t me searching for hits on this subject.  I do spend about 4 hours a day thinking something similar though.  I am endlessly thrilled though that TYSOTB is a suggested return for that.  My goal is to be the #1 destination on the internet for sittin around and hating Nick Saban.

And yes, amongst other things, Nick Saban absolutely is a godless communist.  Well played, random google searcher person.

Ohio State versus Michigan: the Rivalry Heard ‘Round the World

Hot Ohio State OSU Girls Fuck Michigan

This Saturday, the greatest rivalry in all of sports is renewed when the Ohio State Buckeyes  travel up to Ann Arbor to beat the shit out of the Michigan Wolverines.  This Saturday, the Buckeyes will celebrate their sixth consecutive win over the Michigan Wolverines, and the prediction is PAIN.  Oh, you were expecting insightful and objective analysis about a big game in the Big Ten?  Here it is: Michigan sucks.

Michigan Still Sucks Castaway Tom Hanks

Since 1897, Ohio State and Michigan have been meeting on the field of battle.  Every single game played since the inception of this rivalry has been a brutal affair, rooted in far deeper issues than a simple football record.  What issues you ask?  Well, the issue that Michigan is a bunch of snitches that tried to steal part of Ohio back in the 1800s. End result? Ohio’s first ever pwning of Michigan when President Andrew Jackson told Michigan to stop being some snitches. This became Ohio State’s first ever victory over Michigan, and fueled a fierce rivalry that will last into eternity.

The history of the rivalry is a long and storied one, and though it pains me to admit this, the overall record is currently held in Michigan’s favor at 57-42-6.  However, since Mr. Sweatervest himself Jim Tressel has joined Ohio State, the Buckeyes have only lost once.  Now, I’m no math scientist (I hire them to think for me), but with 1 loss for every 7 wins it’s likely that OSU will take the reigns by 2030 and will be more like 100-60-6 in Ohio State’s favor by the time the 2100s roll around, as advances in health care and technology will allow Tressel’s brain to be kept functional for coaching purposes.

Michigan Sucks Go Bucks OSU Army

Another contributing factor to the rivalry is the prevalence of traitors from Ohio.  Some of Michigan’s best players have come from Ohio, including two of their three Heisman winners in Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson.  These two will forever be two of the most hated Michigan players of all time (I call them Judas and Brutus. Not the Buckeye, but the asshole that killed Julius Caesar) not just for “crossing the line” and betraying the entire state of Ohio, but also because each spearheaded the leadership of two of the most dominant Michigan teams in history that both rolled Ohio State several years in a row.  This brings in a point that Michigan football would be nothing without Ohio football players, and that must mean that the entire state of Michigan it predisposed to sucking at football.  Although if I lived in a state that smelled like hot dog water I guess I would suck at football too.

Ohio State’s dominance over Michigan in recent years has led some, like this douschebag, to ponder over the relevance of the rivalry.  Really?  A football game that has been played for over 100 years is now just a washed up tradition?  Should we all just stop watching and go follow whatever Boston area team your skirt wearing ass clearly follows?  The fact of the matter is that no matter how downtrodden either team is at any point in time, even a 3-8 Michigan team such as last year, each side will fight to the death.  In reality, it matters not which team is favored to win, because this game is entirely separate from the rest of the season, and the underdog has just as much of a chance to win.  The existence of this game singlehandedly cost OSU coach John Cooper, and subsequently ran Michigan coach Lloyd Carr out of town.  Both coaches developed and led great teams year in and year out, but at the end of their careers each coach also had a streak of losing the one game you never want to lose.  Those who attempt to proclaim that this game is no longer a rivalry due to the downfall of Michigan football over the past 3 years are clueless and need to go watch HBO’s awesome special on the Ohio State and Michigan rivalry.  A century of bloodshed cannot simply be swept under the table.

Now, time to grab some pizza.
