Regarding deep dish pizza, of the chain restaurants I like Lou Malnati's the best, though for the best pizza I know a lot of people swear by Pequods.

1 year 31 weeks ago I hate slingTV based on

I hate slingTV based on billing issues I had with them, and unless it changed they didn't have BTN back when I subscribed.

I've been pretty happy with PS Vue so far, and the intermediate package includes BTN.

1 year 51 weeks ago I wonder what the reaction

I wonder what the reaction time is for whoever the assistant is that stands by Harbaugh during games.

 

Who am I kidding, Harbaugh probably has a competition for that too...

1 year 51 weeks ago No! This is the internet! We

No! This is the internet! We must declare success or victory prior to the season start and then chastise the people who did so if it did not work out (or say I told you so later if it does) /s

1 year 51 weeks ago While his defense in the

While his defense in the latter half of the season was suboptimal, he did get 3 shutouts and produce a top tier defense for the season.  I'm not so down on the guy, though I am also very happy with who we have moving forwards.

2 years 6 days ago I did not have good

I did not have good experience with sling.  Desynched audio/video, poor quality, it worked okay when I went through ESPN3, but I was pretty disappointed overall.  To top it off, when i tried to cancel they instead subscribed me to everything and they wouldn't refund me when I found out about it - I need to do better job of recordkeeping that stuff.

2 years 3 weeks ago I mean, based on the past few

I mean, based on the past few years "pounding the holy fuck out of MSU and OSU in front of their mouth breathing fans" will likely result in the Big Ten championship which could very well lead to playoffs

I don't know why you're bringing up Dantonio when he has nothing to do with this.  I also don't think writing an article like this is in tune with his personality.  

2 years 12 weeks ago I assume that Brian has

I assume that Brian has already procured the secrets to achieving Denard's speed and that Michigan will have good things in the future.

In this situation I write my post, then re-open mgoblog in another tab to see if someone else posted.  If it's in the clear then i submit the post.  Needless to say i've pretty much never posted.

2 years 13 weeks ago Love the podcast - is there

Love the podcast - is there any chance we could get timestamps for the separate sections in case we want to jump to one part?  Thanks

2 years 15 weeks ago Still leaves you with 1 game

Still leaves you with 1 game @ for every 8 years for each opponent in the non paired division.  This reminds me of the explanation of the NFL schedule I was looking at earlier.  Sounds good to me, I don't think there's a simple fix to the problem I noted earlier.

2 years 18 weeks ago Not a player but where would

Not a player but where would we be now if instead of getting Dave Brandon we got Jim Hackett back in the day

2 years 22 weeks ago Alternatively, Lewis is good

Alternatively, Lewis is good enough for the NFL but he chooses to finish his degree first, in which case he is obviously the #1 CB.

2 years 22 weeks ago I seem to recall he wanted to

I seem to recall he wanted to go to med school, does he go for the NFL if his chances are good?  Med school is a huge time commitment in your life.

2 years 24 weeks ago I don't think it's possible

I don't think it's possible for 2 loss Michigan to overtake 1 loss OSU and 1 loss MSU in the CFP rankings barring some act of God.  The most likely chaos case is MSU drops 2 including 1 to OSU, Michigan beats OSU and then wins the head to head tiebreaker to get into the championship game to beat Iowa and create chaos

2 years 25 weeks ago He received scholarships from

They updated the article.  He received scholarship offers from other programs but is a PWO.

 

The Lions’ pro-style quarterback came away from Ann Arbor with an invitation from head coach Jim Harbaugh and, according to Camp Hill head coach Frank Gay, Shuster notified Harbaugh on Thursday that he would join the Big Ten power next season as a preferred walk-on.

 

Shuster, Camp Hill’s four-year starter, had drawn interest from Duke, North Carolina, Pittsburgh and others. Several FCS programs were lining up with scholarship offers, as well.

2 years 26 weeks ago There's some aspect of

There's some aspect of context here.  DL coach?  Very good.  Recruiter?  Very good.  I think Hoke's biggest weakness was not pulling in the assistant coaches that could properly develop the talent he was getting.  We saw flashes of it with Mattison, Montgomery, and maybe Nussmeier, but outside of those guys, the development of the team just seemed very lacking.

2 years 26 weeks ago the last tiebreaker if all 3

the last tiebreaker if all 3 are tied is the playoff rankings.  Assuming 3 teams win out except for OSU>MSU and UM > OSU, michigan is a 2 loss team competing wiht 1 loss teams, we'd have to blow out OSU to be ranked above them.

The easier pathway is MSU finally drops a game to a lower big ten team as they have been on the verge of multiple weeks in addition to losing to OSU, while michigan beats OSU for the tiebreaker over them.  Neither of which is easy, but it's possible.

Now to forget about this until it actually matters before the OSU game, assuming we can win out until then.

2 years 26 weeks ago Thank you Seth.  Now I will

Thank you Seth.  Now I will drink myself into oblivion and forget football exists for 1.5 weeks.

2 years 26 weeks ago I agree that we have some

I agree that we have some good QBs on roster, but Harbaugh has always been big on competition making you better and earning the position.  Hopefully if it does happen it will be just to bring out the best from everyone.

I kind of doubt it though as Harbaugh seems to not like picking up guys who have had a lot of past injuries.
