5 weeks 3 days 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 6 days ago My definition is someone who

My definition is someone who holds political office.

11 weeks 6 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 6 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 6 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 4 days ago "I'm from Joisey, are you

"I'm from Joisey, are you from Joisey?"

13 weeks 4 days 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 5 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!

Blackberry Password Keeper on Adroid.  Highly secure.

15 weeks 4 days 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 4 days 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 4 days 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.

16 weeks 43 min 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.

16 weeks 3 days ago Would consider boycotting if

Would consider boycotting if I knew what it is.

17 weeks 6 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.

Bay City is now "Nowhere, Michigan" ?

I just checked. There's no individual that matches that name.

19 weeks 4 days ago Now if he could just build

Now if he could just build some Model 3s in production quantities...

19 weeks 4 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 4 days ago Sorry, but yes

Sorry, but yes

19 weeks 4 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 4 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 5 days ago Business meeting with Sparty

Business meeting with Sparty alum - what, did you visit the car wash?

19 weeks 5 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 6 days ago Thanks, Bill! Thanks, Dave!

Thanks, Bill! Thanks, Dave!

20 weeks 5 hours ago It was a joke. Two times

It was a joke. Two times zero is zero.

20 weeks 5 hours ago Au contraire

I am going to Outback TWICE as much as I used to!

20 weeks 4 days 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.

21 weeks 3 days ago Couldn't happen to a nicer

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
