MZone: Spare us the righteous indignation, Mark

So let me see if I get this straight…  Before he even picks out his office furniture upon being named MSU head coach, Mark Dantonio told the world he’d put a “countdown clock” up in the MSU locker room in order to tick off the days until the Michigan game.  Then, when asked about the Wolverines’ loss this year to Appalachian State, Dantonio jokingly asked if he should have a “moment of silence” for the Wolverines.  Most recently, in the days leading up to last Saturday’s M/MSU game, Dantonio asked how long MSU was going to continue to “bow down to Michigan.”  Yet when Michigan rises up to the challenge and beats MSU – after having to listen to all the crap above, suddenly Dantonio can’t take any smack talk directed back at his team.

Good luck in the Motor City Bowl, Sparty.  Make Muddy Waters and the other Sparty “greats” proud by becoming ”bowl eligible”  instead of wasting time imitating Denny Green.  We are who you thought we are – your superiors.

P.S.  Scoreboard.

Callahan sidesteps questions about his future

With scrutiny intensifying with each loss, Callahan said he leans on his religion. “I’ve got to count on the Lord in that respect. That’s where I derive my strength from,” Callahan said. “That’s what any Christian does. You put your trust in the Lord and you go forward.”

God: Nice try. What are you, a politician? A celebrity charged with DUI? OJ?

I f***ing hate Nebraska. Did you not get the memo? You should be praying to the reanimated corpse of “Dr.” Tom Osborne. He cares more about your fate than I do.

P.S. Enjoy retirement, although I hear Notre Dame is shopping for a blowhard with dubious NFL cred, since it worked so well the last time.

Shelby Autos unveils Terlingua Racing Team Program

Fans of Carroll Shelby and of grassroots racing take note:
From the Press Release:
LAS VEGAS – October 31, 2007 – In April of this year, Shelby Automobiles, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc., (CSBI.PK) and legendary Terlingua Team member # 2 Bill Neale returned the Terlingua Racing Team to the spotlight. Today the Terlingua team announced a series of vehicles and products for the grassroots racing community that live up to the Terlingua Racing legend.  Ranging from a high performance package for Ford Mustangs to special edition Shelby Cobra, the program was introduced during a press conference at the 2007 SEMA show. 
“We formed the Shelby Terlingua Racing Team to thumb our nose at the stubborn, old racing establishment, win races and more importantly have fun,” noted Shelby Automobiles Founder Carroll Shelby. “That rowdy lifestyle became as popular as the cars we raced.  In fact, our ‘bunny’ appealed to more people than those at the Playboy mansion. Now we’re passing the Terlingua Racing Team torch to new generation with products and vehicle packages that bring back that anti-establishment attitude so they can carve out their own legends.”
