Yelling is one thing, but you have to consider what the point of it is. Muschamp can yell all he wants, but does it accomplish anything? I can't remember the last time (or ever) I saw Hoke or Mattison yell at players, even after major screw-ups. I actually kind of like Muschamp, I'm not trying to say he's a bad guy or a bad coach, but sideline flip-outs probably are, at best, not helping. At worst, they're a source for bad morale and eroded confidence.

I was watching the TCU vs. Texas Tech game, and the commentators talked about Kliff Kingsbury's response to a couple bad plays. One HUGE one was when the running back dropped the ball at the half-yard line as he strolled into the endzone. Kingsbury was very calm and even-keeled, and the broadcasters mentioned that he could be flipping out, but screaming in guys' faces doesn't really accomplish anything.

I generally agree with that principle. If guys screw up on the field, it's typically not because they're trying to screw up. They want to be better but don't really understand how. Now if it's an attitude problem, then that's a different story.

Bo wrote in his namesake book (co-authored by Mitch Albom) that he would never yell at a player who just screwed up a play. Why bother? was his thought. They already know they screwed up. They feel bad enough. You don't have to make them feel worse.

Solid coaching wisdom from the man himself.

If you ordered a basic burger with ketchup and mustard at Blimpies, you deserve to be disappointed (although I would take it right now) Let's talk about grilled onions/ peppers/mushrooms on a triple with provolone (or whatever cheese you prefer) all heaped onto a grilled inion roll. Dress it to suit (tomato) Damn, I miss Blimpies...

Sounds like he really enjoyed himself.  I like our chances.  However, as a former Spot's employee, I wish he had gone two doors down and got himself a steak hoagie, onion rings, and a thick ol' chocolate shake.

Does Mr Spots have shakes now or were you referring to Pizza Bobs? And speaking of that block of restaurants, you were a former spots employee? Round about what years? I was a Pizza Bobber, wondering if we partook together in that back ally ever....

I was an employee from roughly 2009 - 2011.  Not sure if that fits your bill but yes they have shakes.  I would actually go to Washtenaw Dairy to get ice cream when we ran out sometimes.  Their shakes are the real deal.

Remembering a 1 am burger from a place with a big chested girl holding a beer while riding a hamburger and forgetting the name of one of the nicest and best restaurants in Ann Arbor in the Gandy Dancer...sounds about right. 

And what he should have done was get a shake from Bobs, hoagie from Spots, and fries w/sauce from Quickie

To all you people hating on Quickie, clearly you've never had a good night, been looking for food at 3am and been between Quickie and BTB. Given those choices, Quickie is the place to be (partially because they serve alcholol, which of course Hand didn't have because he's underage /s). Quicke dirty fries are delicious, and anyone who disagrees is just wrong.

What the hell was Quickie before it was Quickie? It changed around my freshman year. I can't for the life of me remember. I think it was a sandwich place?
