and I am a Michigan Grad living in Columbus, this video seems to be sending me strange symbolic messages. I seems like some strange futuristic vision showing that Michigan is great and in control. OSU is the evil empire but we are in charge. Freedom and liberty belong to us and we are taking over the Evil Empire. Sounds like a great future to me. However, videos with attractive women are much easier to interpret.

Nice to start with a pic that's NOT the Hoke Poke..Weather feel's like the part in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray gets up and the weather guy is saying "It's cold out here" and I'm thinking "It's always cold out here"..

Anyone stumbling through Silver Lake tonight...I may wind up at the Griff.   Woo hoo.  Can't wait for the recruiting news this week.  Feels like Christmas. 

I like this Hoke-o-Mania stuff.  It took some time to warm up to it but I'm around 75% there.  Speaking of warming up...where's my Crown Royale w/Cheese?

Go blue.  Out.

My brothers had a couple of their albums on cassette and I listened to them around the clock when I was a kid, along with some Tool, Rammstein, other Generic 90s Techno groups, and Grunge to Alt rock from the era.  It was a fun childhood.

I picked this one because of the maize n blue vs. scarlet and grey color scheme and because it was my favorite song on the album.

In the future, you can click the "Reply" on the bottom of the post and it'll be threaded right below the original comment.  (It doesn't really matter to me but it does make the comments easier to rea.)

As soon as I typed that I realized I should have typed "fraternity brother" because we're very different (and he's a PSU fan, though rational) and don't always get along, but yea.

He would have been out of school before you were there (you're a teacher, right?) but he frequents the bars around there, I believe.

G/f wanted The Fox and the Hound. Mysteriously my iTunes wasn't working and we ended up watching South Park episodes.

She's gone to bed and I'm working on the Shocktop because I feel guilty drinking the good stuff without being able to taste the good parts.

Haven't seen Restrepo, is it straight documentary or does it have a message?

Not trying to act like a salesman but it's incredible.

Guy graduates from Dartmouth after completing Marine OCS and makes Infantry, which is really hard to do, then ends up being some of the first boots on the ground in Afghanistan. Makes Marine Recon and ends up being the LT in charge of the northernmost force in Iraq during the invasion. Incredible story.

Generation Kill was Rolling Stone/HBO, great docu-drama or whatever the hell they call it.

At the very least we need to get above .500 in B10 play and make some noise in the B10 tourney. It would be a great start If we could somehow beat tSIO on Thursday (on national tv), but I think last game was our shot to beat them... you don't get a lot of opportunities like that during a season.  Hopefully I'm wrong though..

Your first part isn't in dispute, but in regards to your second part: you never know. Sometimes teams/coaches just have the opposing team/coaches number.

Purdue did well against us for a long time, Brian Kelly can always outsmart the Stache, Northwestern wins a couple every year that has everyone scratching their heads. It's always the particular game.
