UM sports on tap this weekend (Ghost of WD?)
The women’s team takes the pitch at noon against a good Virginia team in an exhibition match for FREE today at noon. They return a lot of veterans (covid year?) to a team that seems to be in the 4th-7th range ( to lazy to look up and don't have Superguide) in the B1G. They return G Nino, mids Stratigakis and Hernandez and forward Wolfe.
The men are in action tomorrow against somebody (no power so can’t use laptop or ipad to look up - will post in comments), also exhibition, also for FREE. They also have a lot of 5th yrs. and grad students including the duo from Ghana, D- Umar Farouk Osman and F - Mohammed Zakyi. The men are usually nearer the top in the B1G standings often behind IU. They are lead by Chaka Daley in his 8th year.
Come out on this beautiful weekend! The athletic campus has power and you might be able to charge your phone on the upper concourse. The price is right - $0!
p.s. Truth in posting: I have met Wolverine Devotee many times but I pale in comparison to his knowledge of the “olympic” sports.

Scanner - What device are you using to post? I’m not familiar with any device that can post to a blog but not support a browser for a web search!?
Have a great weekend!

He's using a rotary phone.
August 14th, 2021 at 9:55 AM ^
Hopefully he doesn't have to post a lot of 8s, 9s, or 0s. Those are a pain. I guess for the conversion it's all 0s and 1s which is pretty easy.

Gotcha. FWIW, I tried just now. As long as you open a new browser window you don’t lose anything.
Use the intersecting boxes icon bottom right if browser. (on iPhone/Safari anyway)

PS - Say hi to XM for me next time you see him!
August 14th, 2021 at 9:15 AM ^
Men play U. Illinois Chicago at 4pm. Sunday. Don’t know squat about their team.
August 14th, 2021 at 12:45 PM ^
If you haven't gotten shit faced with WD you haven't really met him.
August 14th, 2021 at 9:31 AM ^
At last, a WD thread!
August 14th, 2021 at 1:49 PM ^
We all knew that little twat couldn't stay away for long. The allure of "look at me" is too strong with him.
August 14th, 2021 at 9:35 AM ^
Just an observation, but If an alien decided to read this thread before invading Earth to eat our brains, he or she or they or them would have no idea what sport your are referring to. So I headed over to the UM Composite schedule site to learn this thread is about SOCCER (or football if you are European or Brit).
Talking about Soccer, Ted Lasso is a really good series.
August 14th, 2021 at 9:48 AM ^
I was betting on Volleyball. Good get.
August 14th, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
When he said the women's team takes the pitch, I thought he was talking about softball.
August 14th, 2021 at 4:30 PM ^
"team takes the pitch" is always soccer
an individual "takes the pitch" is usually baseball or softball but might be soccer
August 14th, 2021 at 11:00 AM ^
Ted Lasso is amazing. It shouldn’t work but it does. Apple+ has knocked it out of the park with Ted Lasso and Schmigadoon.
August 14th, 2021 at 8:05 PM ^
Agree on Ted Lasso which just might've had one of its best episodes, but not so sure about Schmigadoon.
There were lots of great moments in “Carol of the Bells”, the latest episode of Ted Lasso. For those of us who knew Hannah Waddingham only for her portrayal of stone-cold torturer Septa Unella and her role in the "Walk of Shame" in Game of Thrones and not for her work in musical theater in London, we got to hear her belt out Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) during the final scene.
As for Schmigadoon, how could they have Keegan-Michael Key’s character, one of the stars of the show, fall in love with the school teacher and not incorporate a scene in which he becomes a substitute teacher?
August 14th, 2021 at 8:07 PM ^
For those who missed the alternate version of the "Walk of Shame".

"if you are European or Brit."
Is that a subtle comment on Brexit or are you just stupid?
August 14th, 2021 at 12:19 PM ^
No need to be a jerk.
The Brits I know do not consider themselves as "European."
And.

If you're Swiss when you go into the bathroom and a Brit when you come out, while you're in the bathroom...European.

If an Alien showed up to eat us, he stay away from this board right before football season because it's as toxic as Poison Hemlock this time of year.
August 14th, 2021 at 4:19 PM ^
Only this time of year?
August 14th, 2021 at 6:00 PM ^
I recognized the men's'coach name. Otherwise I was in the same situation with what the hell this post was about.
August 14th, 2021 at 2:59 PM ^
At least WD worked his tail off, to live his lifelong dream of attending........
UM-Flint!!!
August 14th, 2021 at 10:58 PM ^
