Jimmy Carter

[Snipe]

I have to admit that I was pumped up when we were up 30 up and the FatHead Jimmy Carter was bobbling around. I almost lost my shyt laughing in joy. What a joyous occasion.

We ran them out of the gym, and in doing so also taunted them with JIMMY CARTER!

I loved the way that ESPN not only showed JIMMY CARTER, but then they sought to explain it for everyone to enjoy.

For my Muskie Brethren, I would like to offer you all a robust JIMMY CARTER!!

I know some of the reasons why we won't play them. I won't argue that. If they insulted Chris Mack and his wife I think it is up to him and I respect his decision.

But it sure is fun beating them.

They are a pretty good team by the way, and I think that will end up being a quality victory.

Last time we played them before this I believe was a loss for us at UD Arena. I am so happy to replace that with today's result.

Humpers! JIMMY CARTER!!!

JIMMY CARTER!!!!

Yes! That loss always stuck in my craw, the same as the one where X got homered at Wright State in the conference tourney, way back when. They are going to have the opportunity to wipe that one clean, as well. I loved the Jimmy Carter head...but where were the Popes? Lord, this is fun!

[nuts4xu]

Thank Ballyhoohoo's friend for the Jimmy Carter picture in the crowd. She is a great American. I loved how it was discussed and explained in detail to Dick Vitale.

Dayton fans hate any reference to Jimmy Carter, especially when it is at a neutral site game and has little to do with the actual game being played.

We have trimmed the overall series deficit to 9 games. Once we overtake the series lead, the ud faithful will have little to say about this "rivalry".

Yes it is!!

I actually think I realized something about myself over the weekend. I think it feels great to get something and/or earn something that people who don't like you didn't want you to have. I LOVE that.

I also think it feels great to take something away from someone you don't like, and that doesn't like you.

I like being someone's Super Bowl. All relevant teams are the Super Bowl of another team that is way less relevant. I also love winning that game. I really do want this to be a regular thing. No other November game has ever generated this much internet buzz. They're an NIT/NCAA caliber team that lives to beat us, but that fails to do so 75 percent of the time. What's not to like about that??

If our domination of them in recent times didn't exist, I'd feel differently about the overall series record. BUT we have dominated them for the last two decades, so I could care less about the overall record. In fact, at my age and knowing what it was like in the 70's, I am tickled pink knowing that we own them now, that we play our home games in a much better facility now, and that we're lightyears ahead of them in terms of Tournament success.

So, with all that noted, I am perfectly content to put this thing in the deep freezer once and for all, ending it with a 29 point bludgeoning of them at Mickey's place. If we happen to see them in the Dance or again at some point at some November tournament in the future, we'll deal with them then. And, at the present pace - us in the Big East and them stuck in the A10, and with Archie leaving soon - any future game with them probably will only add to our win column against them.

You didn't understand it before when I tried to explain the idea of establishing overall competitive separation with UD. As a sports fan, you can want this game back on the books all you want and you can explain that here and on UDPride, but it isn't coming back any time soon as a scheduled game.

In 1981, the CD had not yet been invented. It wouldn't be for another year. VHS wasn't really a thing yet. I'm not sure if cassette tapes were either. If you walked into a music store, they'd actually be selling records. Phones were not cordless, and you actually had to dial them using a rotary dial. I believe phone operators were still a thing. Most TVs still had antennas. If you wanted to look at porn, you actually had to buy a magazine.

It was a different world.

Well done.

So what?

There is no 'what,' other than to build on what Snipe was saying.

[Kahns Krazy]

I find it amusing that we took the Jimmy Carter show on the road. Jimmy Carter refers to home court dominance, but its so funny that it works anywhere. I bet we could start a fight at a home dayton game against an irrelevant team just by showing up with a giant Jimmy Carter.

Or rent a billboard near UD arena with nothing but a giant picture of Jimmy Carter. No words at all. Just a smiling Jimmy.

They're still stuck in a reflection session.

This would be amazing.

[waggy]

Might have to bring Dayton back one more time just to have a Jimmy Carter bobblehead night.

Or maybe have it for a Butler game...

[BMoreX]

This would be amazing.

Id pitch a few dollars in

I am all in. THat is an excellent idea. How much is your typical billboard?

[Milhouse]

$2K a month for 3 month flight would be a benchmark.

[D-West & PO-Z]

6 grand? That is nothing. I'll commit $25-$50. If everyone did $50 we would need only 120 people to cover that!

[paulxu]

Result of great billboard placement?

I'm not 100% sure how GoFund me works but this would have to be a great reason to start one of those, no?

[GoMuskies]

Spend $50 on Dayton? No.

What if we superimposed an X hat on Jimmy?

[Emp]

This is up there with Snuggies as a lame idea. Carter head in the stands, mild yuk years ago. Repeated yearly , not so funny.

Then there is the general issue of obsession with Dayton. If we're not playing them on any regular season basis any more, leaving them behind in the A10, this uninspired gesture is counterintuitive. Whose got the hardon, them or us? It sounds like something Dayton crazies would do.

[GoMuskies]

OK, I've come around on this idea now. Let's do it.

You're a blast at parties, aren't you?

Plus, I don't think some of these words mean what you think they mean.

This is absolutely a futile and stupid gesture. And we're just the people (deference to Lady) to do it!

Edit again: Can we put the watermelon hat on Jimmy? You know, for good measure.

I think it's about time for you to FOAD. A bunch of guys get together and have some fun, and you just want to shit all over it. But not without asking for a free ticket to the game.

I wish I could go back in time and never know you.

Despite the loss, the "Snuggie" trip was one of the most epic events in the history of Xavier fandom. So many stories that have stood the test of time- including Kahn's chasing Grandma skirts in the hotel bar afterward. :drool:

Don't believe the classic creativity? I will never forget Sean Miller looking up at us all walking in to Dookcanes' building, laughing his ass off as we marched and chanted "Let's Go X" and giving the thumbs up.

We NEED another bus trip to a road game!

Aw,you hurt my feelings, KK. Bus trips and inebriation, pre and post game festivities, what Real Xavier Men do. Don't be so sensitive there, no one here is capping on you right to party.

Just an opinion, but Snuggies seems exceptionally funny when you get drunk in the early hours and chat it up on line, not so much in real time.

You are aware that you are posting on an Internet message board, right? Do you also go to Republican conventions and chastise them for their right wing views? Internet message board idiocy is what happens here. It turns out many of us also enjoy the company of each other in real life too. You, not so much. Your condescending attitude, your eagerness to belittle other posters, and your general shittiness puts you in a rare breed of people that I genuinely wish I had never encountered in my life.

I don't need to "stay classy" as you say in your private message, I need fewer assholes in my world. Go away.

Hell yes. It's the most wonderful, terrible, incredible, anxiety causing week for me (as far as sports goes). I want to talk trash but I know better as this is the one game every year where you must throw out the records and don the iron jock strap. This is war people! The deplorable horde led by a whiny little, well, um man is seeking to invade the 'Tas for the first time since committing criminal assault in our cathedral of hoops honor. Put on a helmet, grab a stiff drink and prepare yourself.......for The Shootout!!!

[XMuskieFTW]

Just noticed this past Sunday was the 35th anniversary of the last time Dayton beat us at home. 35. years. Just a friendly reminder that it's 1/15/2016 at 9:00 AM and Dayton STILL sucks.

[toledodan]

i enjoyed watching them lose today esp after what some of their fans posted during the nova game.
