ONLY THIRTY MINUTES OF OT SEASON LEFT - IT IS EFFECTIVELY OVER.
11:30 BUMP - YOUR FINAL CALL.
This is just a friendly, fresh reminder that OT Season closes out in about six hours, so if you have an OT thread for which you would like at least some discussion, now is the time. By about 9 PM or so, you may as well not bother. By 11:30 PM, that will effectively be the end. Tomorrow, it will likely be removed unless you can convince the mods why it should remain.

Trying to decide between a miracle whip vs. mayonnaise thread or list of underrated sitcom characters of all time….
I’ll probably just end up having some whiskey and fall asleep.
August 27th, 2021 at 5:37 PM ^
Miracle Whip is the only correct answer. Do you hear that RobF?
August 27th, 2021 at 8:06 PM ^
I heard that!!! ?
You may want to do some research, do they sell Miracle Whip in Bolivia?
/S ...maybe
August 28th, 2021 at 12:01 AM ^
Delivery is available. Ships from US to Bolivia in 2 days! Bolivians must have good taste.

Miracle Whip isn't suffering from the current Mayo inflation problem. Or is it?
August 27th, 2021 at 11:35 PM ^
This wins, and is a 1000 times better for your health!
August 27th, 2021 at 5:36 PM ^
Damn LSA. It almost seems like you're begging for some OT threads. I'd give it a shot but I can't decide which of these would be most popular.
Help! Best opium dens for watching Michigan football in Belarus?
When/why did you stop being a fan of Michigan football?

Baba Yaga, 15km SE of downtown Minsk.
Never
Depends on the type. Rye and wheat, slightly. White well done.

Thinking of posting a quick one to see if people think my religion is better or worse than theirs. My religion of course is Covid19PoliticsSexybitsicism and we worship our one true God, his holiness Pete Finebaum.

Old TV show reboot ideas?
Mine is Gilligan’s Island, but everybody but Gilligan is part of a drug-making conspiracy (Professor makes the drugs, the millionaire funds the operation, etc.) with the befuddled Gilligan being the unwitting fall guy whose name is tied to anything official used in the operation. The whole staged shipwreck is just a ploy to keep him on the “island”, which in reality is an abandoned movie studio near Long Beach, CA. It just gets worse from there.
August 27th, 2021 at 6:03 PM ^
See? Who says that OT threads aren't quality conversations? I like this idea. Gilligan being the fall guy. Its like Breaking Bad on a tropical island. You need a resort though for a steady supply of customers, guest stars, DEA, and competing drug lords. Too bad they killed off Tuco....
August 27th, 2021 at 7:08 PM ^
When we aren’t arguing, I generally enjoy OT season. And I like the resort idea! Maybe that’s where Ginger, Mary-Ann, and the millionaire’s wife come in.
August 27th, 2021 at 9:17 PM ^
So Gilligan’s Island x Fantasy Island
August 27th, 2021 at 10:19 PM ^
Yes Gilligan's Island x Fantasy Island x Breaking Bad....Opening credits show Jesse Pinkman standing next to Ginger, while Skinny Pete runs up and shouts "The Plane ! The Plane!"....Cut to the plane landing on water while Badger jumps out carrying his mad stacks and puffing on a fat cigar. Just then out of the bushes jumps ...(well not uncle Hank) but Flynn (don't call me Walt Jr.) as a DEA agent....

I'd like to reboot Benson where only the lieutenant governor is white.
August 27th, 2021 at 7:26 PM ^
Alf, but the people eat cats.
August 27th, 2021 at 8:12 PM ^
I would 100% watch that show.
August 27th, 2021 at 7:05 PM ^
You beat us all to it

Anyone else feeling Libra gendered today?

Just so everyone knows- no one will stop me from making bad threads, including this football program.
In all seriousness, at the end of the day, this is a message board. Yes, I realize it is Michigan-based; however, lots of people on here have plenty of different interests. I know the response by some will be "go to reddit about these posts." Why? This is a community that I've more or less grown up with over the years and feel comfortable having conversations about ANYTHING with, not just breaking down the QB battle.
I really think by the middle of each week after a game, we can only dissect the game so much until it becomes boring. If anything, OT threads help to keep people's sanity, so it's not all just "serious football breakdown."
I get there's an effort to not have stuff go crazy; I just never understood the strictness of not allowing various threads during football season. If 5 people respond, bounce it. If it's getting good responses, keep it.
August 28th, 2021 at 7:25 AM ^
I agree with this 100%. Endless analysis & the whining is just brutal.
August 28th, 2021 at 10:32 AM ^
I actually wouldn't mind having a 24-hour "sanity break" OT window once a week... maybe something such as an "OT Tuesday" to sorta cleanse ourselves of the stench of the previous Saturday.
August 31st, 2021 at 12:24 AM ^
Dude, Tuesday is for tacos. I think it’s weird we have to have this discussion.
August 27th, 2021 at 8:33 PM ^
I want to argue with Brian about smoking vs braising ribs. Braised ribs are mushy and have no bark, tenderness isn’t everything. WHERE U AT B COOK, DANCE BACK
August 27th, 2021 at 8:42 PM ^
How dare you trash braised short ribs!
August 27th, 2021 at 9:55 PM ^
I created a thread once when I was all excited about Harbaugh and the future of UM football. It wasn’t well received so I decided to never create another thread. Too bad because I’ve had some good ideas. Like why does restaurant food taste better than homemade? Why can’t I make a quality pizza at home…does a pizza oven actually make that much of a difference? Also I saw Don Brown on my flight to DC and I thought about sharing, but I didn’t (that one probably worked out for the best because it wasn’t Don Brown, just another mid 50s guy with an amazing mustache). - Sorry MGo the next time you’re on here and you can’t find a thread worth your time, just remember you did it to yourself.
August 28th, 2021 at 12:07 AM ^
1. It doesn’t at all …. You just can’t cook well
2. Your dough sucks and you don’t have a wood fired brick oven at like 550F

I started posting an OT thread a few days ago about hidden places in Ann Arbor, but lost steam.
