Please tell me it's "Hand." |

But yesterday the Raiders (vs. Lions) did what Charlie Weis did against Michigan in the 2009 game. Up by 6 with 2:30 left on 3rd and 3 and the Lions with no timeouts, the Raiders tried to throw deep to ice the game. Incomplete pass, clock stopped, letting the Lions throw over the middle to start their drive from the 2 yard line because they had a free TO with the 2 minute warning. If the Raiders had run the ball, even without getting the first down, they take the clock down to 2:00 and take away the chance for the Lions to stop the clock. Right after that happened, my friend and I both texted the message "is Weis moonlighting as the Raiders OC?" |

| 1 year 11 weeks ago | Rosenberg's methods |
After I read Spencer Hall's takedown, I had to go check the SI article itself to see if Michael Rosenberg had written it since he's now at SI. But it just looks like he has spread his brand of "investigative" journalism to the other writers at SI. The methods are shockingly similar. |

I've been to two MLS games. I went to a Seattle Sounders game last fall. They play at the Seahawks' Qwest Field, and only open the lower level for seating. The atmosphere at the game was incredible, and Sounders FC are known for having great fans. After the game (against the LA Galaxy), Beckham said that this was the first MLS game he'd played in that felt and sounded like a game in Europe. I think it helps that Qwest is a great stadium and naturally loud, so it amplifies and reinforces the crowd. I've also been to a DC United game. While DC had a decent number of loud, die-hard fans, the game was at RFK Stadium, which is possibly the worst large structure ever built except for that unfinished hotel in Pyongyang. I'd be worried that the Silverdome would be much more like RFK than like Qwest - muted, and visibly too cavernous to re-create the necessary atmosphere. It's too bad they couldn't have saved the infield portion of Tiger Stadium and then built new stands around the outside of a soccer field there. That could have instantly been the best stadium in MLS. |

The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. |
| 1 year 22 weeks ago | The two-tone "B1G" logo |
In all honesty When they do the two-tone logo, it actually looks like a 10. But it seems like they will rarely use that logo. Unfortunately, it's redundant and subtle to a fault when they include the word "TEN". |

Brian has once again provided the go-to resource on Michigan football. Many thanks for your hard work through a less-than-rewarding season. Just like the kids on this team, you've earned your trip to the bowl game. |

After Denard got hurt, all the fans around me (Sec. 31, concourse ~Row 75 (presumably freshmen/sophomores) were talking about how they hoped it was Gardner and not Tate coming into replace him. It seems like EVERYONE forgot about the Notre Dame and Indiana games last year, when Tate was the BMOC and the future of the program, and forgot about him playing through injuries. I was happy to see him play well today, especially since his experience will be valuable in the Big Ten season to continue to push Denard and Devin and as a replacement or change of pace for the offense if anyone gets nicked up. |
