Can I get a giant poster that says I bought a non-EA sports game?

But you could also google this info yourself ;)

If he cracks the lineup I'll be visiting the wiziwig forums for some...uh...not streams.

BS. That's GM speak because he doesn't want to admit they didn't know what to do. How is that NOT tied to the selection if they had called him and said they were going to?

Unless a miracle happens, I don't think Mayhew is gonna be around in a couple years.

There was a thread a few posts down you could've put this request in...

I gotta leave soon but my idea would be a pic of their mascot running away from an actual wolverine. Maybe put a hood over the wolverine with a "You Gonna Get Raped" tag...but that's like so 2 years ago.

Rule 1 of gifs: if you need help with the loop, always go Michael Bay. But never go full Michael Bay.

is good. Clearly Gibbs is practicing his "fake like you're blocking LB but actually falling back and undercutting the rushing DE" maneuver. Excellently played all around. A+++ would practice again.

Apparently Boston's offer was better, but Iggy wanted to go to Pitt so Calgary obliged. Pitt's GM Shero must have a room full of hookers and blackjack for all these other GMs to hang out at....

For the Sparty friend everywhere (just did this quick for a friend's bday)

I went to school with Hitler and he was a nice guy with a fro and liked to paint. Or maybe that was Bob Ross.

selling jerseys.

It actually causes the land mass supporting Cedar Point to shift into Michigan...leaving nobody any reason to ever visit Ohio again.

Nobody likes the state of Ohio.

Don't throw stones in glass houses, Internet Overlord.

My sister got bit by a moose once.

It boggles my mind people care about rankings 3 games into conference play when a 64 team tournament determines it all.

Top line right now is Dats-Zett-Brunner so he's already got the opportunity just needs to capitalize.

I use Adobe Premiere because i know it best. i have used gimp, you wanna use a youtube to gif converter (google it, there are easy online ones). open gif in gimp, there should be an animation view option.

each frame will be a layer...kinda made the type of edit I did here tedious. Premiere makes it simple with layered video and motion tracking.

Blender may be a decent free option. i would look at animation/video software instead of image manipulation.

final step is online gif optimization...again google websites. hope that helps!

That is freaking awesome on so many levels. Well done, sir.

I'm just gonna place that B1G Trophy right here...ohh just a little dab of blue to brighten the mood.

Will feed you what they want to feed you down your throat 24/7. The last meaningful thing ESPN said was in 1999. Maybe.

We're not making the playoffs this year. I'm accepting that now. We don't have the depth or the right players. Unless maybe Franzen decides to play a full 60 minute game before the playoffs.

Probably never watched Ishpeming play. They may lack size on paper, but they hit hard and their two offensive stars (QB and RB) are potential DII talent, which is something.

I watched a few Ishpeming games throughout the regular season this year. Very few mistakes and they stick to assignments.

I, without a doubt, am more intelligent than the Lions coaching staff. 8 seconds before 2 minute warning with a punt upcoming and they use their last timeout. Have they ever fucking watched how much time a punt takes? Holy shit.

That's what I got. Oh the humanity of shoveling snow.

In prison you could still shank him if he doesn't beg to become the prison bicycle.

definitely meant as a hockey bash. trying to say the people who are deciding whether the game can be played or not cant actually play the game...or something. it is late, im pooping and posting this on my phone. fuck bettman.

Lock Fehr in a room with Shanahan and let some "discipline" teach a fool how to bargain.

Wisconsin's record may be silly for a conference champ, but they were in every game they played. Biggest loss was by 7, three of their losses in OT and most by only a field goal. Yes, a loss is a loss, but to shrug the rolling cheese off as a weak opponent is...well...weak. I feel Stanford is an excellent matchup for them, but even in defending Wisconsin here I still think the tree takes the cheese, but it should be a good game.

Bad plumbing at the arena?

This color commentator's thought process:

Foul on Bradley = bad call

Foul on Michigan = awesome call

He doesn't have to call him by the proper name. Call him shvitz for all I care, what horrible decisions.

It was known. Jack Kennedy will be the most accurate passer ever at Michigan. Have some points to push you on your way to start a thread.

Impossible to watch this soundless gif without hearing HONK HONK HONK

Gotta save dem charctrs, amirite?

That was Tupac.

It's fun to jab, but State played a hell of a game and I'm sick of this childish lil bro bullshit. They're a squad to be reckoned with. Stop being Mr. Condescending.

"Where's the threat?"

"PASSING ON MOTHERFUCKIN SECOND DOWN WITH THE LEAD NEAR THE END OF THE GAME!" ~ Charlie Weis, Brian Kelly, Mark Dantonio

The opportunities from the packaging school are second-to-none and, if the need ever arises, the prison-to-work program is beneficial. Can't really blame the kid.

Herbie is an OSU grad, but he is not anywhere near a homer and I will defend that tooth and nail. The dude moved out of Ohio because of the shit fans complaining about his anti-OSU picks, fergodsake!

The others, eh, they may or may not have received a degree from OSU. Either way, TV commentary is a better career than pizza delivery. You can't even criticize OSU as a pizza boy!

I appreciate criticism, but I'm not even trying to compete with him. I think there's enough space on the internet for more than one .gif animator.

And that's a UM Film-Video grad that made this fergodsakes. I see where your allegiance lies....

You inspired me, but this took way too long (I'm out of practice):

No, I thought people might say that. He was actually commending Denard in a common way, admitting not many teams can stop a healthy Denard. When it first came out of his mouth I gasped, but he definitely said it in jest and this example is not a reason to hate Kelly. Other examples perhaps, but not this one.

I was toldby a couple people saying that. Unfortunately, my father didn't get his season tickets this year. He has had those seats since 1979...but I moved 8 hours away a few years back and he doesn't feel like hassling to find people to go to 5 or 6 games (I was making it to one or two after I moved).

Is your face in that video? There is one chunk of footage I gave ESPN that has a good shot of the rows below following the Roundtree TD, but I didn't put it in the embedded video. I'm going to laugh if they show my father giving me a high-five.

I originally was going to use the whole door, but that would've made a massive desk. Never realized the inside of a typical door is cardboard patterns separating the two small layers of wood. I'm also glad that wood trim comes in the exact width as the thickness of this door.

Most of the kudos goes to the wife, though, for the painting. I just sawed, hacked stuff off and put it all together, she made it look awesome.

I've seen milk in this thread so much that now the word looks funny the way it is spelled. It's a dang foreign word now. Or maybe I need sleep.

It's the interenet, I love me same funny fail gifs. Don't you ruin this for me!

I don't really care that's it's redundant, but I'm all in for the lulz.

There's a Debbie joke in here and I can't figure one out.

I was at both. But I was 12 at the '97 game. I remember everyone going apeshit when Woodson did his Woodson thing, and I remember staying the latest I had ever stayed at a Michigan game post-victory. But there weren't a ton of people still there while I was.

UTL, on the other hand, was chaos. I have never been to a sporting event that was so emotional and, rightfully, capped by karaoke time for 30 minutes after the game. It was a stadium full of people with a ton of energy, no desire to move and not completely understanding why a football game just gave them one of the biggest euphorias of their life. I hugged random strangers, a lot, and so did everybody else. Everyone was too happy and noisy to really even rip on the ND fans, except maybe laughing so more and saying "I don't know WTF happened, but that sucks for you guys".

I feel the stadium experience was hands down better for UTL than '97, but from home, I have no idea.

I have a feeling this one will be a nail biter.

Self-plug, this is the video I made from my perspective that night:

I knew this girl in high school, same grade. I completely lost contact with her when I purged a lot of facebook friends that I wasn't talking to...then I see some of my current ones talking about this. Now it's all over the news.

I knew her as a strong minded girl but always a smile and I never saw her be rude to anybody. She looks to be using this as motivation, and I hope her the absolute best. I know she'll pull through.

Fucking people, man. The assaulter obviously knew what Jen was doing on the lake, according to reports. Who attacks a woman rowing for a great cause? I'm just disgusted.

You really like driling the same thing repeatedly, don't you? You need to work on spontaneity, because frankly this relationship is becoming quite dull.

You point that out, instead of asking why Kate Upton sucking on a popsicle isn't the majority of the picture?

I bet they could crumble the multi-billion dollar Michigan Daily empire.

That sounds dirty.

I've been riding the Ericsson hate-train for a long time now, but I don't think his contract is that ridiculous. As much as I'll grit my teeth saying this, he's been a fairly good penalty killer. He is a very high risk-mediocre reward sort of player and does not play up to his size very often.

But the contract is not what gets me, it's just having him take up a roster spot over Kindl/Smith. That I don't like one bit.

I could try to sensibly react to this news like some of you, but as far as I'm concerned all he deserves is a 12 gauge to the face off a plank in the Atlantic and a big Fuck You.

Clearly David Brandon is behind these shenanigans, hyping up the Wolverine Pro Combat Jerseys that will be worn when Michigan plays in the Visa Prepaid Night Game Band Isn't Going But Is Going And Screw Your Opinions Rose Bowl in January.

How about scholarships?

The Ernest Shazor Think About Staying Another Year Award.

People are talkin about Dantonio, who I think is fairly ranked, but completely overlooking Brian Kelly at 18. He certainly had great coaching in his blunder against Brady Hoke /s

And has he accomplished anything positive at Notre Dame? Maybe going all Grunka-Lunka on his players, but he didn't sing while doing it so I award him no points. He belongs nowhere near the top 40.

Bring the band!

Edit: Wait, there were a bunch of mascots there? Holy bats tittyman, I hope there's not some secret tryouts going on there.

All Bubba had to do was down a deuce of Bud, yell something about how he's going to murder the ball and swing as hard as he could. It's called the "subpar golfer" shot.

I'm a Chili Pepper fan and I saw them at Van Andel a few years back: 2/10, would not watch again. Holy shit practice a tad and put together a decent show....

Good thing he's in the lineup so we've got at least one guy giving it his all.

I'm not terribly confident in this series, unless the Wings get back to their early season "we actually care" style of motivation.

Either way, I've got a pint of Kessler to celebrate or cry with.

I didn't say he wasn't the best, but you're telling me you agree with the moves I stated above? Every GM makes mistakes, and I'm mad at Kenny for Ericsson and Quincey.

I'm breaking everything I own and stabbing my Ken Holland voodoo doll. Hey, I got an idea, let's sign Mr. Turnover Ericsson to an inflated contract and tease the team with an actually competent defenseman named Brendan Smith!

Oh, and we'll trade for Quincey, whom we previously cut, just so we can make him a healthy scratch because he's worse than Mr. Turnover, and both of them combined are worse then Brendan Smith.

/fucking fuck you Ken Holland sarcasm

Bud Light Platinum wording, btw, but my sober feelings completely.

Save that anger for the playoffs, Jack Johnson. Oh wait, you're team is fucking horrible and you're pretty lackluster for the third pick in a draft.

Enjoy mediocrity, if your team can make it there.

You must not be a goalie then, or you like ass in your face.

Here's another post to help you take away my imaginary internet points. I hope it satisfies your desires.

I'm impressed by your google search ability.

Somebody explain the hype on this kid.

Fuck everything.

Thanks, I embedded it above but you beat me to it so I'll leave it to your post.

Kronwall's hits are one of a kind, that's for sure.

I am a loose vegetarian (tried vegan for a few months). My wife read The China Study and got us involved in a local vegan group. They screened this movie in november (rented a theater) and had a pretty good response. Haven't seen it yet, but I try to only eat meat one to two meals a week so I already got the message.

What it comes down to is the people, themselves, choosing to eat healthier. Its not meat/dairy farmers or McDonalds who keep consuming this western "diet". The people get what they want, they just need to care about getting the right things.

Btw, mexican food is a staple for my diet. Protip: you can sub meat with beans in anything at taco bell.

Chipotle and Pancheros are garbage. I'd slaughter my own cow and throw it in a tortilla before I ate that crap again.

If you mean because the Wings won games in OT, overtime was around in the 1929-30 season when the Bruins had 20 in a row (10 minute OT period, not sudden death, final score at the end of OT was the deciding factor). When Philly did it there wasn't an overtime, but for both teams there was a significant advantage by only having a limited number of teams to play (and general lack of widely disbursed talent).

10 teams total in 1929, 18 in 1975. I think that makes it about a wash.

Oh the horror

Title and post not in proper 5 paragraph hamburger format. No clear thesis statement. Grammar is shoddy and your avatar is less than creative.

2/10, would not read again.

The Rutgers thread, however, is clear and much more interesting due to the clarity. I come to MGoBlog to read properly formated statements and opinions, not about "interesting, personal" stories that "may actually be worth discussing".

/s

All that aside, I have really liked what I've seen from Big Will Campbell (BWC for those who don't know) this past season. Yeah, he can get better, and it looks like he's trying. Let's hope for the best for him and the team.

Just before the Giants-Pats heartbreaking EFFFUUUUU Eli Superbowl. I titled this "The Last Super Bowl?" as part of a video project spoof. I don't know if I saved the high-res print version, but one of the older assistant techs loved it and asked to take it home, saying "Brady will love this." I still don't know if Tom has seen it....http://i.imgur.com/XxCLL.jpg

I did check the board first. I can't see this magical original thread except at the right. I really wish the coding/navigation of this board was the same sophistication as the content.

Did you win every single meet during those 31 national championship years? I think the main point of this wasn't necessarily the 13 straight NCs (which is still damn impressive), but the 252 straight victories in season and postseason play. That's just redonkulous.

Glad Tahquamenon got so much exposure and still gets tourism...keeps dem trolls and cheeseheads away from the real beauty of the yoop :D

'spose I should put on my flannel bomber and grab a pasty before I go ice skating.

/livin the stereotype

i was thinking it's just a bigger target for Hoke to point at.

Did it say anywhere he was the one that continued the confrontation? They both had to walk back home the same way.

Kampfer was already verbally and physically being abusive .Kampfer made the stupid choice by getting drunk enough and verbally and possibly physically abusing a much smaller female. I give Milano props for not sticking Kampfer right there.

He also didn't know the extent of Kampfer's injuries, which I can believe. Being in a fight before, it's better to just leave so the violence doesn't continue. Why would he stick around with someone he just fought with? Ask him to dinner?

EDIT: Also, the gymnast's friends testified that Kampfer had been at least verbally abusive in the past. Sounds like a guy with issues to me. But believe whatever you want, it won't change anything. Milano's doing great things and Kampfer's got millions of dollars to pay off the lawyers next time he abuses a woman.

Good to see Milano get some redemption. The legal system seemed to think Milano was justified. Seems like the hockey star/coach got what they wanted and the weak first-year coach folded.

Now Kampfer's playing for the Bruins and Milano's doing great things across the world. Good for both of them.

If Milano was a big-name starter, people may have looked further.But instead, the media gets to put up their eye-grabbing, misinformed headline as usual and a good person bites the dust because of it.

Kampfer can try to abuse (verbally or physically) innocent women, but for every Kampfer there's a good Mike Milano to put you in your place.

The comments at the Daily are status quo, with people putting blind "beliefs" in part of the story. Multiple accounts of PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE clearly distinguish this as a fair, face-to-face altercation with a case of verbal and/or physical abuse of Kampfer directed towards a female (which had been taking place for a while, as testified by the gymnast's friends).

Another reason to hate the Bruins? Check. Rootin for Helm or Abdelkader to give Kampfer a clean run (lol at Abdelkader-MSU irony).

*awaits downvotes from blind UM hockey fans*

Stay safe, VT. 

I wanna ridicule the butchering of Waren Zevon, but you claim to be a mother, and I can't diss no momma.

"But I look a lot better when I'm pointing at things."

The hold was good, Finkel just booted it.

Should MGoBlog cancel anyone's ability to create more PSU threads?

i am who i thought you were also. agreed.

I'm not going to come over there and force you to call Delany and I understand why you won't.
But instead of ongoing useless rants on the internet, I'm suggesting people actually call in their complaints because that does more than internet rants.

And yes, I'm sure TWIS will be entitled Occupy Big Ten Headquarters. And I will have a laugh.

I'm not talking about the actual loss. What I'm talking about is that student-athletes' safety was put at risk by an ineffective officiating crew.

Some of you are so quick to "Love Denard", but yet some won't even support a suggestion to call the powers that be in order to support his safety?

Fine, don't call Delany. Call David Brandon. I didn't want this thread to be a pissing match or flame war, but I guess it is still the interenet. I just wanted to post a number and easy instructions to voice the concern of the safety of the Big Ten student-athletes.

I did play football, actually. Lakeview High School, Battle Creek, Michigan - 2003. When one of our players, during a city rivalry game, grabbed another player's facemask and repeatedly slammed his head into the ground he was ejected and suspended for a hefty portion of the season.

Thank you for assuming incorrectly, sir.

What does it matter if they missed it or not? I am sure they are well aware of the issues at hand, but they won't fully understand the seriousness that the on-field conduct display by certain football players has with regards to the impressions of the Big Ten football teams, players and fans UNLESS we actually voice those opinions.

Why are you so against contacting Jim Delany? Do you think he's totally gonna pwn our opinionz and Halol at the whining Michigan fanbase?

And why am I being down voted for trolling. Really, people? Promoting safety is trolling? Holy crap I've overestimated the general intelligence of this forum.
