Just a quick word of warning…

Just a quick word of warning about road closures vs when you go.

Probably won't matter because I assume you're going later, but we were there a year ago today (Jul 3). Going-To-The-Sun road was not open all the way yet, and they don't update their website often so we had no way to know.

Rangers turned us around and made us go back when we hit Avalanche. 

Still well worth the trip since the whole thing is spectacular, but not knowing and getting turned around was disappointing.

Highly recommend the North Forty Resort outside Kalispell. Almost like glamping, i.e. modern cabin w AC, cable, etc. Great location for staying in the area. Maybe you get a discount if you say the Lehmans sent ya ;)

Run-ruled bottom of 6th. 8-0…

Run-ruled bottom of 6th. 8-0. Tomorrow Noon vs JMU. Go Blue!

I just hope the coaches

I just hope the coaches noticed that Grant Perry spun the ball a second time AFTER he got flagged for the first one.

Why no uniforms

From what I read yesterday, the equipment that was on the plane yesterdaycan't be moved -- NTSB has an investigation underway, and that stuff can't be removed until NTSB says it's OK

>>EDIT-- Sure is hard to get a scoop on this site, LOL.

Tell, me not to click something and I'm already gone.

I must say, though, that I felt very welcome.

Difference this time

I was in High School last time that happened -- that was over three 'meh' big ten middlers -- the fact that this time TWO of the three were ranked teams, and that these are the same dudes who went 5-7 last year takes it to a whole new level!

Harbaughnics

I'm beginning to suspect that all these kids absorbing Harbaugh's stream-of-conciousness metaphors are beginning to synthesize new ones. Putting one's self into an Apache attack helicopter in camp could have come out of the mouth of the Master Himself....and I suspect player interviews are going to be much more entertaining over the years.

Since somebody mentioned statute of limitations...

Late 70's, high school string quartet: Invited as guinea pigs to a Master Class with the Guarneri String Quartet in East Lansing. We borrowed the viola player's Dad's Mercedes sports car and tootled up to E Lansing to do the gig. Turned out it was MSU's homecoming and the dorms and frats were festooned with banners made out of bedsheets weighted down with beer cans.

We were dressed in suits, but as we passed more and more of these my buddies looked at each other and said "That one must come down". So I shinnied up a drainpipe to the second floor, snagged a "Go Spartans" banner and ran to the Mercedes just as the guys started running out of the building after us.

Man, that felt good. Cool story, me.

I NEED HELP!!!! Somebody confirm outside this echo chamber or I will have no choice but to go back to my job. Go Blue!

Obviously Oracular since it can be interpreted according to your own confirmation bias

What if?

I hadn't thought of that until reading what Hoke said in this presser...

Imagine a kid expected to be the savior of this program, injured in Game 1 of his college career; head coach/father figure(?) tells the press earlier in the week that  he's going to play, ratcheting expectations up even higher, and then by Thursday or Friday, kid realizes that he's not gonna be able to make it and feels he let the coach down.

Not saying it happened that way, or that JP is too sensitive, but it might have been a little too rough to put the kid through, college big boy pants notwithstanding....

 

3 rd & 12

Best thing about it for me:

Having spent what feels like 5 or 6 YEARS in 3rd and Long, the fact that I can't even remember this play from two days ago makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.

Thank you!

One of the most informative yet personal posts I've ever read here. Great work and thanks very much for taking the time and the thought you put into this!!

Brian is 6' 2" ...

Not worried

Not worried about Sun Tzu as starting quarterback for Michigan State. His bones are really brittle by now.

HEY DEVIN!!

Behind you!  He's open again!

I've seen that very thing.

It was done with a series of light bulbs. And you always knoew the down and distance. Now get off my lawn.

Your answers to Frank's questions on their blog

Mmmm, chicken AND figs ...

Late 70's,

Was in there one evening with my buddy, and they locked the gates on us.  We found the old brick ticket booth that straddled the chain link fence, threw our bikes on the roof of it, got up there and climbed the fence back down. There was no such thing as an MIP ticket then, but ...

I won

I won the tipple crown years ago, son. It's retired now.

North Campus Dull

Hearing that always makes me laugh. Late 70's early 80's, the hardest-partying dorm was BURSLEY, baby!!!

Toothpick legs

Great comparison to Denard -- same feeling of a drop in the stomach like the swoosh of a roller coaster every time he touched the ball.

My mom was always scared every time the ball got near him, be cause she thought his skinny little legs looked they would just snap. I don't remember him ever leaving a game injured, though.

It's only awry

It's only awry if they're sharing unmentionables, NTTAWWT

Also using 'Do you know who I am?':

Jim Harbaugh hit on a girlfriend of mine at a party when he was in school. She was RC and not at all a football fan so her blase answer was 'no I don't -- where's the keg?'.

My wife just laughed

My wife just laughed and over time it's become a highlight of laundry day:

 

1) Fold once lengthwise (so that it most resembles Charlie Weis'' shorts).Grab one short end with arms crossed like you're about to call illegal procedure.

2) Clear children and pets from the work area.

3) Call 'Illegal Procedure', vigorously.

4) ??

5) Profit, because making the wife laugh is always a bonus. Bury the mess way down in the pile.
