7 weeks 8 hours ago This might be my favorite Beilein team.

Love the way they play on both sides with amazing chemistry. HAIL!

7 weeks 8 hours ago I like that idea, too.

Any change would seemingly be better.

30 weeks 2 days ago I've had Sling and Vue

Sling didin't offer BTN or Fox. I switched to Vue, but still didn't have BTN. Now that they are raising the price of their basic package from $30 to $40, it's not worth its shortcomings. I am switching to HULU next week. Same price as the new Vue price and Offers BTN, Fox, and all the ESPNs including ESPNU (Vue doesn't have the U, so a lot of streaming games aren't available).

This is only important if you want to watch a few of the lesser watched teams. But this past week it I tried to watch a bunch of close games of the little guys because most of the prime-time match up were blow-outs - no joy, didn't have the U, so I couldn't.

It should be noted that I live in an area with no cable. Our options are streaming services or satellite. With the price of by internet ($50) and the price of programming ($40), I am rapidly approaching what a decent cable bundle would cost. Still, at least the streaming service doesn't require a contract. If I want to trade HULU for Sling Orange ($20) after the season, I can without any hassle.

One last note. I would consider YouTube, but it isn't offered at our location, yet.

Cheers,

50 weeks 2 days ago Pocket Fishing the Central California Coast

I'm stationed at Vandenberg AFB and we have about 40 miles of coast line and the fishing pressure is almost nil. Rock fish and cabezon are a blast.

Still, I would trade it all for a great fall day on the Carp River when the kings are running.

50 weeks 2 days ago It only takes a few moments like that on the river

and they are fishermen the rest of their lives. Great story to hear for a guy with two boys and another on the way.

Congrats to him.

1 year 24 weeks ago Great Breakdown

Thanks for taking the time to do this; it's great content.

1 year 27 weeks ago Wife is making me attend a costume required Halloween party

So I leveraged that into a new Jordan coaches hat, coaches sweatshirt and a pair of Walmart khakis.

For reference I'm 6'1'', 200 lbs.

The shirt, an XL, fits pretty true to size. It's maybe a touch small.

Hat was large. Depending on brand I wear from a 7 1/8 to 7 3/8. I ordered on the larger end because I didn't want it to be too small. It was huge. I sent it back and went for the 7 1/8. I'm worried it might be a little big, but wool shrinks, so it should work.

Finish of both products was nice. the interior of the sweatshirt has a good feel and texture to it. They seem like they will last; at least, I hope they will.

Bonus: Houses on base all have flag pole mounts off the front porches. Wife said she got sick of seeing all the OSU and ND flags and bought me a new Michigan flag to display. I think I'll keep her.

Edit: I tried to buy the above items from MDen, but they were out of everything. Went to http://www.collegefootballstore.com/. They had everything in stock.

1 year 28 weeks ago Doesn't matter

"Myriad" was a noun in the English language before it was an adjective. Either way is correct.

1 year 30 weeks ago Nebraska

I thought I remeber folks saying Nebraska would be ranked better if the medical school was factored into the total research dollars. For some reason it's not, so they don't qualify for the AAU.

1 year 32 weeks ago I don't disagree with either of those points.

But I don't believe you can truly have both without divorcing universities and pay-to-play sports. Sports are supposed to be the supplement to academics to create a well rounded Renaissance man. As soon as you pay for one but not the other, you elevate athletics over academics.

I think we do need a minor league system for basketball and football. But as long as schools are the de facto minor leagues for those sports the focus should remain on academics. And the only way I see that happening is to maintain some semblance of amateurism. I also believe a university fails (and many do; looking at you UNC) when it elevates athletic achievement over academic credibility.

1 year 32 weeks ago I am also against paying players.

We are now seeing the fruits of that line of thinking come to bear. I get that there is a ton of money involved in the whole enterprise, and concede athletes should get full cost reimbursement. Even more, I wouldn't be apposed to a small stipend that is equal to 16 hrs a week of working in the campus book store, or the like.

But once you start outright payment, based on value, or allow majoring in a sport, the whole academic mission of universities comes into question. No one can play a sport as long as one can use a real education. Emphasizing education is what the mission should be, and what I hope is the focus going forward.

1 year 34 weeks ago Thanks

I missed that one. For others that want to read it: LINK

It was reported on the edge of the internet that Michael Wroblewski received a scholarship.

I haven't  read or seen it anywhere else (including his twitter) but thought it was good news, if true.

1 year 36 weeks ago I often use a hotel service.

When I have a morning flight out, I find it's cheaper to stay the night in a hotel and park for free, than pay for parking. You get good shuttle service, your car isn't in a dark parking garage and you don't have to scramble to the airport the morning of your flight.

I've found a trip over 5 days in duration to be the average break even point between a night's hotel bill and airport parking.

20 reasonably good channels for $20, requires no special equipment (can play on computer and hdmi to tv), and you can cancel anytime. We just signed up for 3 months and got a free Roku 2 out of the deal.

 

 

2 years 6 weeks ago Wow

You're right. Enjoy the free 12 points I gave you testing your theory.

2 years 7 weeks ago Broil King

Can buy at Lowes. At the same price point, it is better than the Weber IMO. For instance, in the $300-500 range, Weber will give you cast aluminum end caps on a steel enameled firebox. Broil King gives you a full Cast Aluminum firebox for $100 less.

Having a full aluminum firebox was really important to me, and the Broil King just seemed a better value. Webers are great quality, but not great value.

THIS ESPN article makes it sound like it's up to the school. If true, I wonder what the football program's cap on exemptions is.

2 years 15 weeks ago Academic Exemption

Can someone tell me what the "academic exemption" mentioned in the article is? I'm guessing it allows teams to take a certain amount of non-acedemically eligible recruits per cycle. Who gives the exemption - UM, the B1G, NCAA?

2 years 37 weeks ago I also think some of the criticism is overdramatic

I also think some of the criticism is overdramatic. But I do agree with the poster above that said ESPN often feels like MTV after they stopped playing music. If I were king for a day, I would love to see SC run 4 times in a 24 hour cycle, live games, good investigative reporting/documentaries run as specials and recorded/obscure sports. I pine for the days I could watch lumberjacks or Aussie rules football. In short, I'd like the E to stand for everything, again. Stop the inane talk and over analysis.

2 years 38 weeks ago Ford Ranger Global

I live oversees, and see them on a regular basis. A decent size truck that can pull the type of stuff that I need hauled and is decent on MPGs, yes please. I want the inline 5 diesel, Four door, 4x4.

It pisses me off to no end that Ford negleted to update the Ranger in any significant way for 15+ years, them blamed consumer taste for the plummetting sales. Then they release a Ranger, with a diesel no less, but you can't buy it in North America. I think they are worried about cannibalizing F-150 sales and that might cause the F-Series to not be the largest selling line of trucks. I wish they would just rebrand it the F-100 (a historic badge) and then they could clame it as part of F-Series sales.

It also sucks that there is a 25% chicken tax if I wanted to buy one over here and then bring it home when we return to the States

2 years 38 weeks ago Fastest: My buddy had a GTR

I haven't felt acceleration like that in a car before or since. Unreal machine. He missed out on being a F-16 pilot by one check ride during training, so I think he felt the need for a really fast car, and boy did it deliver.

Slowest: Fiat, Doblo. Think an underpowered and even uglier Honda Element. I thought that thing was going to give up the ghost going up hills.

2 years 38 weeks ago I truly want to grasp this concept.

Scruffy was commenting on Ron_Lippitt's use of a possesive determiner with the gerund. After researching what that was, I surmised we was pointing out the use of "daring" as a gerund. To use the possessive noun (pronoun in this case), would one use your as the possessive of you, instead of you're (you are)?

Or did I just totaly miss this and he was citing a different example.

2 years 38 weeks ago And possessive is misspelled.

Still, I did appreciated the grammar lesson. Not one I remember from my public school education. It will we noted and utilized.

 

Edit: Now I'm confused. He wrote, "And if you're slightly daring." Shouldn't it be: And if your slightly daring. If your is the possessive of you, that would be correct, right?

Aircrew file an IFR (instrument flight rules) flight plan before departure, but can amend it at almost anytime, mid-flight. 

One can also take off VFR (visual flight rules), fly around under those flight rules, and then pick up an IFR clearance giving the aircraft ATC handling for the duration of the flight.

First, great article. I didn't mean to insinuate you don't have an appreciation for vets, so my apologies on that. I just didn't like the word choice.

See comments above.

3 years 23 weeks ago Last reply. I promise.

I don't agree with the premise of your first paragraph, but 2 and 3 are spot on.

3 years 23 weeks ago To be clear, I don't like the

To be clear, I don't like the trophy

It is borderline pandering/misguided and a non sequitur as it pertains to both teams and football in general.

Just because it pays tribute to those in the armed forces does not make it jingoistic. Jingoism has a negative connotation because it asserts war mongering or over aggression, which is not the majority attitude of most service members I know.

There are plenty of reasons to mock this trophy I just didn't like the implication that honoring the troops (as misguided as I think it is in this case) is jingoism.

Edit: Not that it matters, but just for the record: I didn't neg you. I don't neg folks I simply disagee with; I save that mostly for trolls/asshats. Still, I think you and Seth are stretching the meaning of the word.

3 years 23 weeks ago I read both post and the comments

The first was generally well received/interesting. The second, not so much. It was like you intentionally beat a dead horse while making completely unprovable accusations.

If you had a source or reference that told what the s&c program at UM is, that would be one thing. But you don't.

3 years 23 weeks ago Freedom Trophy

I get that the trophy is as contrived as the "rivalry" game it is attached to. Still, do you have to use the pejorative "jingotastic" just because it has an American flag? I thought the description was pretty out of touch, especially on Veteran's Day.

3 years 24 weeks ago I'll agree to that.

Few people are the man Lloyd Carr is. And tell your mother thank you. I am sure that job has had some gut-wrenching moments.

3 years 24 weeks ago As a man with a little girl

Surely you can understand some of the wonderful things Dave has done with his money. The $2M for the NICU alone is enough to give the "grave dancing" a rest.

Was he a crappy AD with poor tact toward the fan base and did he have bad ideas for advancing M athletics? Yes. But he has done some amazing things for our athletes, and has shared a great deal of his wealth. I know, as a father of two little ones, I would be very grateful for what Dave has done if my family ever needed the care his generosity has provided.

UM shouldn’t “run away” from the past, as if everyone will just forget about the biggest de-pantsing in college football history if the victim always wears a belt and suspenders.

Best line of prose I've read on this blog in a while. I'm not even saying I agree with you, but your writing style should be front paged.

Seriously though, I sometimes wonder why people think the spread is that much better than pro-style. I think both are great, and both can win. When I look at the recent top 5 teams in the country (last 5 years) I see a mixture of both.

4 years 19 weeks ago Whether sarcastic or serious

this comment is awesome.

4 years 20 weeks ago I was an anybody

I watched every game, and while I agree the O was better than the D, it wasn't by much.

That team failed to adapt, progress, or score in BIG play.

We talk about half time adjustments (or lack there of) from the current staff. But the RR offense never seemed to play well in the second half of any conference game.

4 years 21 weeks ago Yes

I don't know if this was rhetorical and I know the reply is late, but yes.

4 years 21 weeks ago Good

I doubt it will affect civility, but I wish people would remember why we are fans in the first place. In college football, it's more than record, coach, or geography. It's about supporting young men who, while talented, trod the same ground and student experience many of us have. They embody a love for the game that isn't rooted in the almighty dollar.

When fans lose sight of what is important I hope they are punished/corrected. It's not about fan/student/alum expectations. It's about proudly representing a student body and their state/supporters. It's about showcasing the ability to be a modern Renaissance man, and showcasing the ability of society and universities to still produce these kind of well rounded citizens.

4 years 23 weeks ago Agree with all points

Still, DG locks onto receivers and hold the ball far too long. At times, he actually had decent pass protection Saturday. He would stare holes through his 1st read and be sacked by the time he thought of making his progression. 

I don't say this to dog on DG. In my view, I don't expect much out of QB that has as few starts as he does. With a bit more experience and just a slight uptick in performance from the O-line, I think we'd all like the product/performance Borges/DG can put together. He has a great knack for the deep ball (which Borges loves) and can punish teams that overplay pass protection.

I'm not a huge fan or hater of Borges, but I think his real worth will only be evident after next year.

4 years 24 weeks ago Yes.

4 years 24 weeks ago Not that anyone asked me,

I was in middle school and we got in free to work concessions for a fundraiser. I only had to work one quarter and got to see the rest of the game. I was standing almost at the line of scrimmage about 20 rows up for that play. Unforgettable.

And when will teams figure out the way overused double A-gap blitz. I hope Borges has a couple plays on file to annihilate it.

4 years 26 weeks ago Fair enough

4 years 26 weeks ago Is it still too late to trade Mizzou for Rutgers?

Cause that would be cool.

4 years 27 weeks ago This is a reply to you and most on this board

We do not have the talent. We do have one all-american, one good end, and then: doom. I don't want to be the guy to beat the RichRod dead horse, but let us not forget the horrible recruiting he did on the O line, or on the entire roster for that matter. For every starter RR recruited we have two "doesn't play here anymore's." Additionally, he recruited one OL in one of his years (2010?). Brady Hoke is not only rebuilding a program, but is digging out of the greatest craters ever created at Michigan.

As for the general complaining about the play calling. Was it great: no. But you people have played way to much Madden/NCAA for your own good. We have a weak OL, a QB that can succumb to idiotic turn overs on a moments notice, and a kicker who has been pretty solid this year. Many act like we should be gunslinging down the field with reckless abondandment instead of releying on  easier than average kick from and above average kicker. We cry about how many TOs this team gives up and then turn on the coaches when they do something showing an aversion to TOs.
