OT: very OT but a tiny example of some positive good of Michigan football
OT: very OT but positive
There was a story in the wedding section of the NY Times on Nov. 13, 2020 “She Married the Priest” about a woman (Ms. Folmer) who met priest (Mr. Morris) who was working as a liaison for a cardinal. Ultimately, he left the priesthood and they got married. You can read it yourself at https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/13/style/she-married-the-priest.html but down in the piece, there is this passage:
“In October, they turned a serious corner, and it was Mr. Morris who suggested they take their relationship to the next level. “He just turned to me one day while we were watching a Michigan football game and said, ‘I just want to be with you — just you, no one else,’” Ms. Folmer said.”
While these are indeed dark times for Michigan football, it still has some mojo out there doing positive things for the world. The interesting part is that he overlapped with the time the team visited the Vatican and met the Pope so perhaps that is why they were watching (?) since neither of them have a direct UM tie.

They wanted to take their relationship to the next level, but Harbaugh wouldn't stop meddling with the playcalling. So they went three and out...

The game was that Rutgers 78-0 win, which all on its own left me feeling like I got laid.

Sounds like the dude just wanted some tail.

Strange... Michigan football is driving me toward celibacy.

I call bullshit. Your girlfriend is a gymnast.

After last night the blood just doesn’t flow like it used to...

Thanks, Tree. That's wonderful.

Someone negged me for appreciating a connection between a wedding and Michigan? Not sure how marriage or Michigan is offensive.
November 15th, 2020 at 7:03 PM ^
The way they’re playing this year offends the shit outta me and don’t even get me started on marriage.

Cool story bro: my mom babysat that guy when he was a toddler.
November 15th, 2020 at 6:36 PM ^
If this is a joke, I miss the point.
If it's true, it's really cool.
November 15th, 2020 at 7:02 PM ^
No I'm being totally serious. When my mom was a student at UM she was heavily involved in her Catholic church and lived with his family for a year.
November 15th, 2020 at 7:09 PM ^
That is way cool. Small world.
November 15th, 2020 at 6:16 PM ^
Ha, The new Morris was probably having a “reaction” that he knew only god could save
November 15th, 2020 at 6:21 PM ^
I hope whitmer shuts down the board.
November 15th, 2020 at 6:23 PM ^
MI GOP would put together a lawsuit over it
November 15th, 2020 at 6:24 PM ^
As a Republican, this has bipartisan support.
November 15th, 2020 at 7:48 PM ^
Well if he was watching Michigan play he probably thought fuck this I might as well get some enjoyment out of this life.
November 15th, 2020 at 8:04 PM ^
They were watching a Michigan football game and he thought “there has to be more to life than this crap,” and decided to roll the dice and ask her to marry him.
November 15th, 2020 at 8:44 PM ^
The intelligence level on this board drops with each loss.
