I bet you do .

At first I thought Michigan should get the nod, but then a OSU/Michigan matchup would mean Saturday's game was absolutely meaningless. Even Bo said in a radio program before his death that a repeat matchup in Tempe would be unfair to the winner, and I agree with that. Plus, most people around the country would like to see how OSU would matchup against USC.

It all depends on if you want to see the best two teams play I have a funny feeling "politics" will play a big part in "who goes". There is a LOT OF MONEY at stake. Also there is still a lot of football to be played.

I think USC is going to lose to ND so ..........would you send ND over UM???

I hope not Not after the whiping that took place in South Bend.



Posted by: Archangel

Whats up BRother JD!!! Hope your weekend went Great!!!



Posted by: Double D

Well I dont think that Michigan will get the nod on this one. I believe it will be USC. Although if I am not mistaken I saw the bcs and it showed Michigan at 2 still.

It's a tough call, and I understand Blue's argument. But look at it this way. If Michigan gets the nod, and wins, both teams are 1-1 head to head, but they would win the National Championship. In this case Ohio State HAS to beat Michigan TWICE to win the Nat'l Championship, but Michigan only has to go 1 and 1. How is that fair? Michigan had their chance, and played an awesome game, but OSU won.

One thing IS for sure. If it is a Ohio State/Michigan matchup, and the Buckeyes win again, it's bye-bye Lloyd Carr. It's one thing to go 1-5 against OSU during Tressell's reign, but quite another to lose to them twice in the same year.



Posted by: Double D

Exactly what I said JD. I made that point last night. I said why was that game so important if they are going to play again and this time its for real. It was like the last game was a practice game.

I wouldn't say bye bye to Carr. It's Troy Smith's athletic ablility that has killed Carr over the last three years. I'm glad he's going to the NFL

Go ND!!!

That's for sure. Hopefully the alum will agree. Next year OSU is going to be weak at the QB position. They are losing both Smith and Zwick, and have to use an unproven QB with virtually no game experience.

Henne is no pushover either. A rocket of an arm!

Deadlifts

Took everyone's advice and dropped the 185 warm up. Been increasing 10 lbs every week on the top x 3 set, but finally stalled at 2 this week. Pretty sure I could have done another, but as I said before, Jersey respects the deadlift. Form probably would have sucked. Maybe next week. Still feel good about this because they came up fairly quick and my form was good.

255 on this leg extension, might be like 150 on the one you use. It's hard to compare strength on machines that use pulleys.

Posted by: Triple Threat

That workout looks like crapp.

Four hours of doing physical labor that you're not accustomed to would surely have a detrimental effect.

Excellent w/o BRother JD, and I agree with Brother Triple, 4 hrs. would DEFINATLY have an efect on ya, lookin strong my Friend!!!

A regular mulching mower does the job up to a point, but my leaves are about a 3"-12" high over .25 acre. A riding mower with that attachment would work great, but overkill for my size lot.

yeah, you're a pussy ass alright, deadlifting 395 pounds at the age of 50, sure, whatever....

Let's put it this way, we are all anywhere from 15-25 years younger than you. think of it like inflation, only reversed....the younger you are, the more you *should* lift. So you are probably stronger than 95% of all the people your age, is that something to be ashamed of???
We may only be stronger than say 85-90% of the people OUR age. So you my friend are probably ahead of the game, in some sick, twisted, made up illogical way, hehe.

Yeah - What he said ^. You are probably stronger than 99% of the people 50 and over

Damn, your really looking strong in here Jersey! Looks like I have some major catch up to play. As far as the Deads, it's been my experience it's all dependent on the day and how you feel. My PR would fluctuate based on a number of factors so don't let it get you down buddy.

exactly, look at it like it's only 10 pathetic little more pounds, don't look at it as 405, just think about that 10 pounds. Psyche yourself up for it, you know you did 395, so you KNOW you should kill those extra 10 pounds.

I would be willing to bet that the next time you do deads for a max you will get 405. It's a no brainer, so don't worry bout it

Good going, JD. I guess one's outlook depends if you're a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty kind of person. I prefer to be glass-half-full, so I think congratulations are in order.

Also, the fact that you had the 405 moving is a good sign.



Posted by: Double D

Try to incorporate some speed deads? Alot of people think these really help. Personally I think it is reps around 3 that make those deads jump. Good luck JD!



Posted by: JerseyDevil

Thank you all for the support! Ignore me. I was just disappointed and felt down. I WILL get it eventually.

Yeah me too DD. Never been a fan of speed work, except for maybe squats. When I tried Westside box squats is what really improved my squat.

I have been working up to sets of 3 on the deadlift for several weeks, and have been increasing every week. I thought I was ready for 405, especially because I rack pulled 415 (bar 6" off floor). But enough about my ass, I need to do some updates in my boyz journals!



Posted by: Double D

Wow I would figure if you got a rack pull up then you should get the 400 off the floor! I have never did a rack pull, always right off the floor for me.

Posted by: Double D

Looks like Florida has beaten Arkansas bad enough to overtake Michigan. Wow Michigan is getting the shaft.



Posted by: JerseyDevil

I don't agree. Florida won the SEC, considered by most to be the toughest in the nation. Michigan didn't even win their own conference and had every opportunity to go to the title game IF they beat Ohio State.... which they did not. Michigan had their chance, and because USC lost, set up Florida with a win over Arkansas for a title bid.



Posted by: Double D

Makes sense, its just tough to stick Michigan in the back seat since they only lost to the #1 ranked team. Its not like they lost to Illinois or anything ya know?



Posted by: JerseyDevil

Michigan is going to play USC in the Rose Bowl. Not exactly back seat



Posted by: Double D

Ya I know, but its not a national championship either. So what happens if Florida wins and Michigan wins? Do they split the national title?

In the NFL, NBA, Boxing....they have the title of: WOLD CHAMPION...
yet...these teams don't compete internationally...
True; World Champions sounds snazzier than National Champions...but it's a fallacy. Isn't it? I mean, at least....hockey...we at least play Canadian teams...

The one that gets me is the "World Series", although there are several countries that play baseball. At least college football just calls it the "National Championship".

You might be right about that D. I'm old school and no matter what the bowl game and the rankings, they still came out with new rankings. With the BCS maybe it is a done deal. Winner is 1, loser is 2.

Damned old BCS so many controversies! Oh well wouldnt be the same without it.

Yeah a playoff system would make everything so cut and dry. It is sort of fun to have the controversy .

I turned 51 on December 24th. I got a email from IronMag saying Happy BD, but it didn't show on the bar at the bottom. Maybe Rob is trying to tell me something .

Anyway, happy belated birthday JD.

Happy Bday Jersey!! I still hope to be at it in 15 years - when I'm your age I'm impressed by the weights you are throwing around !

Keep at it Kid

Thanks for bumping guys..... It's nice to be missed.

Been working out, but slacking at the same time. Very busy at work and working late. Boss is on pregnancy leave, so Jersey is doing the work of two people..... and it gets very stressful at times. Still working out, just not as much, and not as motivated. Strength has dropped, but not too bad.
