Help me interpret this omen

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2021-11-05, 20:19

I was on my way to pick up dinner tonight (Indian, a favorite of mine) and I got stopped by a train. For a moment, I considered getting out of my car and pummeling the train with my fists to show it Spartan fury, but I realized it was moving too fast and I likely would have been instantly killed. Anyway, the train got out of the way and I made it to the restaurant. As I’m standing there waiting for the people to come, I see a bag come out of the kitchen. Sure enough, it’s my food. Turns out, had the train not slowed me down, I would have been to the restaurant way too early.

I think this all adds up to a 41-21 Spartan victory. Thanks train. Big drums are stupid

I also love Indian food what did you get

There’s no doubt in my mind Travis could handle this train, even lay it out on its caboose. However, considering what happened to John Henry, it might be best to mess with it some other time.

And as stupid as big drums are, next time Purdoesnt shows up in SS, I hope we debut an even bigger drum, for that one day only. Fuck PU.

I got a nice lamb masala. It’s kind of my go to when I don’t want to try something different. Like, old reliable.

Maybe you get on the wrong train Travis.

Unfortunately, the train doesn't like Indian food.

You even sacrificed a lamb, but the result was too hard to swallow.

Wait a sec. Did that train suck Travis? Or did that train suck, Travis? Depending on your answer, we may need to call for an independent investigation.

Now that it’s settled, all that’s left is for Dendro and Travis to have makeup sex.

I am not a big believer in omens, but when I first read your post I was worried.

How hard is it to interpret "I got stopped by a train" the week we play Purdue.

You were just overthinking it.

by AvgMSUJoe 2021-11-06, 22:24

Truth... damn. How did that go by us.... shit.

by MSU addict 2021-11-06, 22:27

If I am overthinking it - it maybe an even better omen.

You got stopped by a train = we lose to Purdue.

BUT - something positive happened due to it. So clearly the omen is we lose to Purdue but win out - crushing Ohio State, winning the B1G Championship game and making the college football playoff. If the food was good we also win the National Championship - but that would have to have been one awesome lamb masala.

Not even joke worthy for a newly married guy. Even with all the sexless internet losers.

He was unfocused all week. At one point he was posting about soccer.

I hope we all learned a lesson about being fucking focused this week.

Based on the last time you saw a train, we can't take any chances. You need to find that train and destroy it.
