MGoPodcast 12.3: Anywhere But South Dakota
1 hour and 36 minutes
We can do this because people support us. You should support them! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan we’d be furloughed SBNation writers right now. Proceeds from the "Those Who Stay Home" collection are going to support our front line workers at Michigan Medicine. Our associate sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, FuegoBox, and introducing Information Entropy.

We were right there on the cusp of scratching the surface of being something special last year.

As someone who transplanted to Florida 4 years ago, I really appreciate Ace’s Top 5.
September 28th, 2020 at 8:40 AM ^
I'll listen later in the day, but having relatives there I would love to know the story behind the South Dakota reference.
September 28th, 2020 at 9:57 AM ^
Same. I think there is a jab in there for whatever reason.
September 28th, 2020 at 12:24 PM ^
As a native of the state, uh yeah, they're doing a lot of things wrong at the moment.
September 28th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
I assume this to be a Covid response flavored comment
South Dakota is currently 41st/43rd depending on which chart you look at in regards to overall # of cases. They are somewhere around 48-50th in regards to deaths.
Population density and all that but they seem better off than relatively similarly populated states.
Unless there is something else you are referring to?
Is it perhaps related to the Meds you are providing to Bond...James Bond?
September 28th, 2020 at 12:41 PM ^
It was because the state came up twice, once because how much would it would suck if your non-conference tournament in the Bahamas was suddenly moved to South Dakota like the Battle for Atlantis was. Forget the other one.
Geez you guys.
September 28th, 2020 at 1:57 PM ^
I will cop to not having listened to the Podcast - only speculating on the above poster's assertion the state was doing things wrong without explaining.
I mean it COULD be due to the aggressive policing in that state:
September 28th, 2020 at 3:10 PM ^
Twenty years of education funding cuts, combined with the currently hostility that governor is showing to tribal communities is part of it.
This isn't just a COVID thing. I've had my gripes with the state for years.
September 28th, 2020 at 8:42 AM ^
Much needed to get through another Monday! Love the pod!
September 28th, 2020 at 9:55 AM ^
Haven't listened yet. Did you talk about the Toledo guy who embezzled Covid money, the one pictured wearing a Michigan cap?
September 28th, 2020 at 12:37 PM ^
Sir Maejor Page is a Major Thorn in Toledo's side. I know.
September 28th, 2020 at 10:52 AM ^
I hope we all find someone who loves us as much as Brian loves Dylan McCaffrey.
We have only really seen flashes from the two. McCaffrey in his third season couldn’t beat out Patterson last year. In hindsight that is a red flag.
September 28th, 2020 at 12:47 PM ^
Died at Seth’s delayed giggle when Ace said “Rabun Gap Nacoochee School”
September 28th, 2020 at 2:01 PM ^
I want whatever 2/3 of this podcast is drinking. I wish I could talk myself into Joe Milton based on the zero evidence we have, but I haven't been able to. Hopefully the throws are easy, and the speed in space makes it sort of irrelevant for most games....Spencer Rattler just threw three picks. But hey, I'm here for Cam Newton part 2.
