Our plane is headed to Baton Rouge
January 9th, 2011 at 2:12 PM ^
and deliver LM for the BB game. The jet will be fine in that weather. It's not a C152.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:13 PM ^
FWIW a veteran poster at Tiger droppings:
Well,I just so happen to work at BR metro and this plane is not the same plane that has been picking up organs at Executive Aviaton.
Take it for what it's worth.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
No organ plane, you say? Yahoo (?).
January 9th, 2011 at 2:26 PM ^
I am confused, what is this organ business everyone is talking about?
January 9th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
There was a plane in Baton Rouge that caused a stir only to have it reported that it was only there picking up human organs either for research, transplant, or because Dave Brandon dines on human pancreas as a delicacy.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:37 PM ^
with fava beans and a nice chianti.
Sorry, someone had to say it.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:39 PM ^
It wasn't picking up organs, Planes that do that do not lay over for two hours.
January 9th, 2011 at 3:32 PM ^
I believe DB is actually building us a new coach from spare body parts.
January 9th, 2011 at 3:49 PM ^
Or maybe that's what is in the new Domino's recipe? Soylent Pizza!
January 9th, 2011 at 4:16 PM ^
The Domino's plane is the one that picks up organs.
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!!!!1
EDIT: Sorry, only 17 minutes too late.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
in my backyard. Out of stone, mound, and thicket
January 9th, 2011 at 2:19 PM ^
And inflatable seat cushions?
January 9th, 2011 at 2:37 PM ^
of R value does thicket give you? Just curious as I'm insulating my basement.
January 9th, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
Out of brawn and steel!
January 9th, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
let's put an end to this now!
January 9th, 2011 at 2:17 PM ^
I just want to point out that just because the plane is flying from place-to-place doesn't necessarily mean DB is always in the plane. They could drop him off in one city while the pilot joyrides or drops other people off in other nearby cities and then picks him up on their way back to ann arbor.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:18 PM ^
maybe he was never even in the plane to begin with...
January 9th, 2011 at 2:17 PM ^
Any thought to MSC or any other "guests" being on the plane with DB? Although Miles is not my first choice, if he is the coach we're going after it'd be nice to have all the Ann Arbor players meet with him at the same time.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:17 PM ^
Obvious explanation. Crawdads are in season. Duh.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:20 PM ^
You wouldn't think I would have to go into this on a MICHIGAN board, but Lloyd's love of crawdads is legendary. Expect that plane to be headed back to Hilton Head within the hour.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:20 PM ^
January 9th, 2011 at 2:35 PM ^
You're right. The big uglies. Game's won in the trenches.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:22 PM ^
I see they went back to Hilton Head before going to Baton Rouge. Could they have maybe picked up Carr to go meet with Les? I'm just throwing it out there to stir the pot.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:23 PM ^
God damnit.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:28 PM ^
The same poster I quoted earlier claims that if the weather isn't bad, they will be able to take photos of who is getting off the plane. Maybe we'll find out.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:29 PM ^
I simply love the internet. Best series of tubes.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:29 PM ^
I'm enjoying the ride lol
January 9th, 2011 at 3:22 PM ^
That's what Moeller's wife said.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:36 PM ^
Hopefully the weather breaks so your buddy can get a couple of shots.
(I've now jumped on the wagon and become one-of-them - a FlightAware stalker. Help me, DB... you're my only hope.)
January 9th, 2011 at 2:42 PM ^
I hope we get a picture of Carr and Brandon in Groucho Marx glasses as they step off the plane.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:59 PM ^
Epic
January 9th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
Still no request to talk with Miles per many sources.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
Who knows!?!? The only thing we do know, as Brady Hoke's agent said, DB and the Mich Athletics Dept. has done a really good job of keeping the search very quiet. DB is running Fort Schembechler on lockdown.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
Most of us would do that job for free as long as those goodies were part of the compensation....
January 9th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
Is it bad for me to wish that some strange electromagnetic occurence revolving around a sequence of numbers not being pushed will crash the plane and strand DB on a remote island for several years where numerous strange unnatural things will happen but in the end they'll all be pointless and have no bearing on the resolution of the plot as a whole..?
January 9th, 2011 at 2:33 PM ^
Yes it is.
January 9th, 2011 at 3:21 PM ^
yes very much so that kinda disturbing, let's not be the next Marshal
January 9th, 2011 at 3:31 PM ^
It was a joke referencing the televesion show Lost.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:54 PM ^
If Angelique Chengelis is a creditable source, Les Miles wants the Michigan job badly, so much so that he is willing to risk his future with LSU to make this known. Les is all in for Michigan. As evidence that this is a no-brainer, I fast forward in time two days and eavesdrop on a conversation occuring in Lawrence Thomas's living room:
Thomas: "I'm sorry coach, you're wasting your time. I am committed to Michigan State.
Miles*holds out hand*: "Do you see this ring? What does it say?
T: "Michigan Big Ten Champions"
M: See there, I knew you didn't belong at MS...
T: "Wha..."
M: I'm sorry, that was mean.
M: You see these other 3 rings, what do they say?
T: Michigan Big Ten Champions.
M: That's right, and this one?
T:*eyes light up* LSU National Champions
M: You know what's wrong with that one? It doesn't match. *opens window and chucks replica ring out*
T: Wha...
M. I tell you what Son, I am going to put you in the NFL.
T. Now we're talking
M. Well, you're from Detroit, now when you think MSU and the NFL, what names come to mind?
T: Charles Rogers...Drew Stanton...Plaxico Burress...
M. Now when you think of the University of Michigan and the NFL, who comes to mind?
T: Tom Brady...Chad Henne...Charles Woodson...
M. Now there you go. Your name is going to be on the lips of a lot of NFL general managers. Do you want them to associate you with Charles Rogers, or Charles Woodson?
T: Well...I...
M: I tell you what son, you owe me a ring. When you decide you want to help me put a ring back on this finger, you give me a call. You've got my number.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
Got a good laugh outta that. Thanks!
January 9th, 2011 at 2:58 PM ^
.... and if I cut you for no apparent reason you'll know why
January 9th, 2011 at 2:38 PM ^
It seems like tigerdroppings.com (LSU's Blog) is practically convinced Les is gone, if he leaves those fans are really gonna regret that they ran him out of town after he won them a NC and a couple conference titles.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:40 PM ^
Yeah, fanbases that treat their coaches like shit are the worst kind.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:42 PM ^
From what I can tell on that board, it seems like they are incredibly afraid to lose him. He seems to have a lot of support there (that board).
January 9th, 2011 at 3:23 PM ^
Good one.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:40 PM ^
It's a pretty skitzo board though......only now does the evidence seem to be totally pointing in our direction.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:56 PM ^
When MGoBoard, mid-coaching search, can call YOUR board schizo...
January 9th, 2011 at 2:42 PM ^
This is all about name recognition and reasons for those outside Michigan to order the Big Ten Network. Remember that cash cow? Brandon is a businessman and must fund the entire University athletic budget from football. His legacy is at stake, not to mention mediocrity or a return to football greatness. So, forget Hoke. If they wanted him they would already have hired him. Besides, if you were from New York City, a market the network wishes to crack, pr Atlanta, would you pay the premium dollar to watch Hoke rebuild the team? This is the theater, guys. The theater of national football. All of the above names are marquis guys who can not only pack the stadium and sell those luxury boxes in the midst of a recession, but keep the fans interested, immediately attract recruits and rebuild the defense.
Of the four, Miles has the Midwest connection, played and coached at Michigan, and, makes for good television fodder - clock management and his predeliction for grass. I'm betting he's the first choice and they wish they had not ignored him 3 years ago, or we would not be in this mess to begin with. Failing that, Gruden makes for Network subscriptions. Patterson is the defensive minded guy that would satisfy both Bo and Carr supporters - have you seen that defensive record, and he is no namby pamby developer of talent. I put him 3rd. Then Mullen, obviously a charismatic choice.
I believe in DB and fully expect him to sign someone that we can all rally around.
