5 weeks 1 day ago	Please post a link to a game	Please post a link to a game video replay if you know of one.  Checked this morning and found nothing.  Thanks.
11 weeks 3 days ago	My definition is someone who	My definition is someone who holds political office.
11 weeks 3 days ago	Your definition of politician	Your definition of politician is broader than mine. I had to register as a lobbyist once because my company was being screwed over by an overzealous tax examiner and I asked for help from my state representative. Am I a politician too?
11 weeks 3 days ago	I'm not opining on whether or	I'm not opining on whether or not he's a good candidate for the job, I'm just saying he's not a career politician. After he term limited as governor, he ran NAM, a trade association.
11 weeks 3 days ago	Nice sound bite, but Engler	Nice sound bite, but Engler actually is not a career politician, and hasn't held office in 15 years.
12 weeks 1 day ago	"I'm from Joisey, are you	"I'm from Joisey, are you from Joisey?"
13 weeks 1 day ago	Different compensation for	Different compensation for different sports is illegal under Title IX, if it means the non-revenue women's basketball team gets less than the revenue men's basketball team. This is just an easy to understand example. There are many, many problems with the concept. Also your premise that "schools make money" on athletics is false. If they are well run athletic departments, the revenue sports pay for the non-revenue sports. Otherwise, the departments run at a loss subsidized by donors and the school.
13 weeks 2 days ago	Sorry, tell me again who is	Sorry, tell me again who is keeping the money? Is there some giant bank account somewhere that the nefarious NCAA keeps that I'm unaware of? And all this time I thought the money went to pay for all the non-revenue sports!

15 weeks 1 day ago	Ha! How about the guy who	Ha! How about the guy who hired him?  It's not like RichRod made a hostile takeover of our football program!
15 weeks 1 day ago	By vetting you mean they're	By vetting you mean they're supposed to predict what he's going to allegedly do in the future?
15 weeks 1 day ago	You act like it's a final	You act like it's a final judgment, and not just a claim for damages.  Do you believe in due process?  I can almost guarantee this will be settled with no admission of guilt.  Will that also make you believe that it happened, or maybe that none of it happened?  Or maybe that there's some truth and some fabrication?  I can't believe how naive some people are.
15 weeks 4 days ago	How do you reconcile any	How do you reconcile any attempt to add more games to the season with concerns for player safety? These are unpaid, amateur athletes, and asking them to play more and more games for the benefit of fans but at the risk of their own health and potentially earnings prospects is unethical.

17 weeks 3 days ago	Not sure why this is so hard	Not sure why this is so hard for the writers of this blog to get right. Garber is not a town, it is a school. It is in Essexville, a suburb of Bay City. I guess the tiny town meme is too hard to resist.
18 weeks 21 hours ago	Bay City is now "Nowhere,	Bay City is now "Nowhere, Michigan" ?
18 weeks 6 days ago	I just checked. There's no	I just checked. There's no individual that matches that name.

19 weeks 1 day ago	Now if he could just build	Now if he could just build some Model 3s in production quantities...
19 weeks 2 days ago	OK, I can buy that. Still	OK, I can buy that. Still drives me nuts that they named part of the stadium renovation after him.
19 weeks 2 days ago	Sorry, but yes	Sorry, but yes
19 weeks 2 days ago	I agree with this. But Carr	I agree with this. But Carr is a great, humble guy who did a lot for the program and I will not begrudge him this error. Nobody is perfect. On the other hand, and in response to the person who thinks I should read up on this topic, I have read everything, don't agree with some of it, and actually was fairly close to the Martin situation personally. Bill Martin chose to conduct a haphazard search without the help of almost anyone who could have helped him. His boss negligently allowed him to do this. And he wound up with the wrong guy and a lot of angst among the people closest to the program. Sorry folks, you can blame the douchebag Brandon all you want (and I blame him plenty), but this in fact was the beginning of the fall.
19 weeks 2 days ago	Bill Martin was at least	Bill Martin was at least equally responsible for wrecking our football program, and yet nobody seems to want to blame him. If Martin had known one whit about football, we would not have ended up with RichRod, and the dumpster fire that Brandon threw gas on would never have started. To be clear, I'm not defending Brandon in any way, I'm just pointing out the co-conspirator and how we seem to ignore him.

19 weeks 2 days ago	I've been to many bowl games,	I've been to many bowl games, including at least one Outback Bowl, a win over Florida. Someone had hired a plane to pull a "Fire Ron Zook" banner over the stadium. Then in fine Zookian fashion, Florida ran a trick play involving a pass TO their Heisman trophy finalist QB Rex Grossman that was intercepted by Victor Hobson, IIRC, to seal the game for Michigan. Great fun! I recall not much going on pregame. You can do the Alumni Association tailgate, but I've decided they are lame - overpriced and overly crowded. Regarding tickets, I've stopped buying bowl tickets through the Athletic Dept. I've gotten hosed too many times with crappy seats. I figure if I'm going to spend the time and money to go to a bowl game, I want to make sure the seats will be decent, so I buy them on the resale market. I recommend going. IMO, nothing like watching a game live and supporting the team. It's SEC country, so it'll be extra special if we get the win. Hit the pep rally too, if you can. Good luck, and Go Blue!

19 weeks 4 days ago	It was a joke. Two times	It was a joke. Two times zero is zero.
19 weeks 4 days ago	Au contraire	I am going to Outback TWICE as much as I used to!
20 weeks 1 day ago	Yes, but the debtor is	Yes, but the debtor is arguing keeping these schmucks around is the best way to maximize recovery. Load of horseshit, just like the Trustee says. This management team already had its chance.
