One of the best effort of the year.

He stopped blogging once real life started to interfere with his blogging. 

I do remeber the blog well though because it's what vectored me to MGoBlog.

He really did cover recruiting well, but I don't think he had any original content, if I remember correctly.

The true home of St Nik.

Career on an endless repeat loop, minus The Horror, I take that in a heart beat.

Both are good men a good coaches.

this comment is awesome.

Just sayin.

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.

/drunk (ya I know it's Tuesday) rant off

At least the ref called the OOB

i want to say the only peole on the floor getting paid to be pros are the refs. And they are acting like amatures

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He still surprises Ds nad me.

we need another big in the game

or we'd be up 6

the stream is titled: College Basketball 2013 Puerto Rico Tip-off: Second Semi-Final.

As in the picture, my cupboards have about a 3 inch gap between the door and shelf.

but I see the game being frustratingly close unitl late in the 3rd. At which point we will go up by two scores and win by 13.

This sucks

Don't know why you'd leave points on the field. First to 15 could win.

And I'll admit it, I laughed.

but now you're one less voice that can talk crap about this generation's student section.

Even still, enjoy the two-hearted; I would love to say that was my plan B.

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.

/uninspiring rant off

/still pissed

I'm stationed in Turkey and firstrow works, but you have to use firstrowsports.bz these days.

I used it last week on the recommendation of someone on the live blog, so it's new to me. It worked great, and the quality was fantastic, but I don't really know how it works or how to find the stream address(es) for different channels,

It seems like the addresses change all the time. The link he gave last week, for BTN, still works, but that's not going to help me this week.

Since upvotes mean very little these days.

This is one of the best post on the blog. I would watch and read these as often as you could produce them.

I really want Herm to weigh in on this one.

I work with the AF's base ops and air traffic folks, and we're always in the same squadron as weather. I have found the AF weather models to be some of the most accurate, and always love getting the inside scoop on the forecast. It was especially nice while I was stationed in tornado alley; they were always the best at predicting when the big thunderstorms would pop-up.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the reason they are bowling instead of playing ski-ball. I can already hear the motivational speech now.

but I'm starting to feel like Brandon Brown needs one of these:

one used to be able to see if other users were online. It was nice not to sit there and wait for a reply to a post that might not come for awhile.

and I approve this message.

This year she had another son for me (Thursday), so I guess that's a good Father's Day present, too. It has been an amazing week to be a father in our house. Now, if we can just get a little sleep, lol.

And I was fortunate enought to be at the game in the OP. I grew up around a bunch of Spartan fans and one was kind enough to take me to the game because they knew I was a huge Michigan fan. Some MSU fans are gracious.

The best combo I've found is The Big Green Egg. It grills as well as any grill, and is almost as good as a dedicated smoker.

There is a knock off made in Mexico? that is just about as awesome. I think  the only real difference is the hinge hardware. They brand is Kamado.

.420 in 1911, .409 in 1912, and amazingly again in 1922 with .401. Migs is good, but saying he is better, I don't know about that.

saying Zetterburg was tripped.....yeah.

None the less, happy Memorial Day, and GO BLUE!

Thanks for being the architech of the greatest blog ever concieved.

The duck hunting was awesome this year ana alll the bike riding around here is pretty sweet, still, it's not as good as where I spent the last five years... Patrick

when I first found this blog as to the level of analysis it contained. But this, this is amazing. Well done Heiko, what an amazing effort and level of access I never thought I'd see on a blog. Cheers!

I certainly can't now

except for the first 18 seconds, that was awesome

Congrats to the women.

during NSD for Hoke's first class. In an effort to not watch Judge Joe Brown, I took to the interwebs. I came across a blogspot "Michigan Football Recruiting" (which is no longer active). It had a link to a bunch of other UM blogs. I clicked here, and haven't been able to kick the habit since.

examples of why we need the old voting system. A "5" just doesn't capture how hard you guys have made me laugh this otherwise boring Saturday night.

the Home Depot reference, please?

when you hustle

DEFENSE.

Excited, we have to play defense.

Tim

are Stauskas. It's gotta be a third.

he'd be unguardable.

the offense runs better/with more energy with mcGary?

My heart couldn't have taken another slow start.

the Arkansas-Florida game was going to go long as Florida tried to foul till the end. Finally Florida called it when it was hopeless

Posbang! for everyone.

Thank you Pack. BEAT OHIO.

Open the video you want. then select "Share." Then select "embed."

Below the imbed code are four boxes to check for different options. one of them is "Use old embed code."

Select that, and then copy and paste the code. Follow the instructions posted above to time stamp it.

Called for the foul.... seems legit

Somebody get him a cold beverage

?

If he always shot like this, this team would be almost impossible to beat. Too many shooters

He plays his best off the dribble

boy or girl

Go Blue!

These are some of the best and most interesting questions anyone ever asked. Thank you

I can't believe firstrow has this game. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Sorry I wasn't clear, derision was aimed at Brian and his preview/Sunday morning OCing.

I didn't want to repeat the whole 6 turnovers are not coaches bad gameplan arguement, since you already made it so well.

dang you.

USC Meltdown complete.... Yatzee

Edit: redacted but hopefully soon

Good call.

There's Mark and that winning smile

Since I guess I have the reputation as a nit picker I'll also say you really like Van Hagar, not Van Halen.

And while I was busy being a busybody I forgot to add: these post are great, they add a ton to the front page content. 

Cheers.

It seemed that running between the tackles was not productive. Outside runs worked well in the second half though.

In the passing game, it seemed as if AL played a lot of man or man-2? so routes that took advantage of that seem in order. The AL corners also seemed to over pursue the run, which helped when AL ran but hurt them when Newton rolled out and then passed.

I can't believe my wife still keeps me around. she is giving me the craziest look.

Edit: Too late, same as above.

Chitown: I don't see the difference either and don't know why anyone would care. I thought this thread was about them teaming up to trash us or something.

Brian keeps saying that fumble recoveries are just luck and 50-50 propositions. I would disagree and say the fumble recovery percentage is more of a function of the number of each team's players near the ball when the fumble happens.

While I do expect a slight return to mean on turnovers, it is obvious that a better coached defense will have better success recovering fumbles.

Edit: Thank you

 "you have to have a talent for having talent." It's unfortunate how many gifted people can't actualize their potential.

I'm actually a typing shih tzu.

It may sound simple, but get him a water pick. I couldn't brush my teeth for a month and it was the only think that kept my mouth from feeling disgusting. Make sure to use is on low though, as high pressure can mess up any stitching if he has some inside his mouth.

I was also 17 when I was wired shut, and between a teenage metabolism and a liquid diet I lost over thirty pounds. I tried to drink as many high calorie drinks, like eggnog, as I could; anything to help keep weight on is good.

One last thing off the top of my head: not everything blends well. Avoid stringy things and most meat. I had to have a splint across the bridge of my mouth so even the seeds from a banana shake would clog the gaps in my teeth, so I got a huge injection syringe and and a piece of tubing and routed it back to were my wisdom teeth use to be. That was the only way I could  eat even slightly string/lumpy food.

Tell your nephew best of luck, and here's to a speedy and full recovery.

But this fight will make him a lot better fighter in the future.

Pac is playing with him. that fight would be great, but not a sure fire bet for Mayweather

Still, Pac can hit hard. A couple hard ones and it may get ugly

off his voice?

I don't normally watch the NBA but it's tied up right now and I really want to see the Heat lose.

Saving the best for last... I bet it will be hysterical.

Most in Detroit are UM fans, and the majority of people from Detroit are Democrat.

So today I'm going shooting w/ a buddy from work, and then cleaning out the garage. That last part won't be fun, but I'll feel a lot better when its done. I really miss Miicigan this time of year, it's hot as balls in Texas right now.

Not to get political, but things like this happen all the time. They just banned bake sales in Mass.

Using your logic, one could say if you don't want to become obese just don't buy the delectable baked goods. Very few people actually practice live and let live.

Koger is now the #1 TE on the board. It would be awesome to see him picked up. One of my favorite Wolverines.

I know a few have commented on it, but here are the SDSU players already drafted. I'd say, this is very encouraging for Michigan's future.

Edit: Get Paid Molk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched it at the behest of a good friend of mine. Once I found out it was based on the China study, I knew it was propaganda. It really has little to do with nutrition, and more to do with anti-affluence and Western Civ.

This doesn't mean that the movie is totally wrong, but it is largely bunk. I know there are some nutritional side effects to the way we raise/grow food, but not as many as this movie claims. I also don't want to pay $30 a lb. for beef, which is what it would cost without modern agricultural sciences.

autoplay is annoying.

Keep it up and knock down some FTs and we got this.

5 great recruits + 1 amazing win over Ohio = 6 awesome  things.

Edit: Double hat trick plus 1. Welcome Taco.

Trey Burke.

Awesome

Need to attck more, seems like they are just playing prevent.

I'm glad you picked up on my main question. I wasn't sure i rasied it well enough.

In reply to your question and example I'll offer this:

What if instead of Buccaneers we substituted West Virginia's mascot. I have family heritage out of WV and can tell you they don't all wear coon skin caps and overalls. Why do you sympathizes with those who don't like the Redskin name? Is it because of history, political correctness or actual empathy? Any of those reason might be valid, but why the difference?

Note: I don't disagree with you at all, but I know why I think that way. I was wondering if others felt the same.

Spelling and grammar aren't requirements.

Since Hoke had the last bite at the recruiting apple, maybe it changed his mind or at least gave him more to think about. I think this because all the buzz was pure Iowa a few days ago.

Had to be a disappointing loss. My hat is off to them for a great game.

Of course, it's easy to be gracious in victory. Go Blue!
