This is the second time you mentioned this.  Ex-banger or ex-supremacist?

 

asking for me, not a friend, out of pure curiosity, as I have umpteen (more like 20+) tattoos that are starting to merge as I get 40+ years of age.

 

like .... the fuck happened you could cover it up, and had to get it blasted off?  I know some guys that can do some incredible cover-up work

This is a pretty half-cocked argument. Iowa and Wisconsin are headed to the tournament and will probably score decent seeds. MSU, as much as we hate them, is a legitimate top-ten squad.

Penn State was a bad loss. It was also one of the strangest games we'll ever experience as Michigan fans.

Come on.

The Penn State loss was a bad loss.  It was really random, and a bit comical, but it was bad. 

In the big picture, it doesn't mean a whole lot, but losing (not that close) to a one-win, last place in the conference team is bad.

One win, last place? They have five big ten wins, which is tied with Indiana for 11th place. Just because they had a rough start doesn't mean they're the worst team in the big ten. I'm not gonna waste time defending Penn St, but the only bad thing about that loss was its effect on our big ten title hopes

Penn State is now #50 in the NET and #44 in KenPom.  They'd be squarely in at-large consideration if they hadn't fallen a possession or two short in several of their games.  A game at PSU was Quad 1 -- if they stay where they are, even a rematch in Chicago would be Quad 1.

Their record is a result of a little bit of bad luck and a poor selection of conference.  If they were in the SEC, they'd be a .500 team or thereabouts; if they were in the Pac-12, they'd likely be 12-4 or something.

You want a bad loss, BTW?  Pac-12 "leader" (by default) Washington just dropped a game at Cal.  KenPom #264 Cal.  _That_ is a bad loss.

Well, sheeeet.  Before PU played MD, i said PU had another two losses in them.  MD immediately beat them.  I originally circled NU as the other one.  Hopefully, minny can get them too.
