2 weeks 19 hours ago	the Trustees	at Ohio State would probably disagree with you. See my sig line
2 weeks 19 hours ago	I live in Columbus	my Wife is an OSU alum.  She also knows a few Trustees of Ohio State (as in, she knows them on a first name basis).  They are tired of him being an embarrassment in the national media.  His job is not to be a lightning rod for the University. However, his job description does require him to have good enough discretion to know when NOT to say something that could potentially lead to negative publicity for the university. He has failed to do so on a number of occassions.   I really cannot fathom how in the world this relates to Rich Rodriguez.
2 weeks 5 days ago	well Vegas thinks differently	they have Michigan tied for 11th most likely to wind the MNC at 28/1 and Sparty at 100/1, so I don't understand all these preseason publications/rankings that have Michigan just barely (if at all) in the top 25. Like some others above have said, thats fine. I remember pundits talking about how Colorado was going to beat up on us in 1997.
2 weeks 6 days ago	I keep	a travel sized bottle in my golf bag for refreshment on the course, in addition to the one in my bathroom. Like an alpine breeze.
3 weeks 14 hours ago	out of curiosity	what's up with all the "you guys" today? Has everyone at MGoBlog been reading the Dad Boner twitter feed?
3 weeks 6 days ago	Every time I see it on the "guide"	thats the movie I think they're playing and I wonder why. You're not alone! While we're talking about movies did anyone else notice in Bill Simmons' latest column (maybe 2 weeks ago, I dont think he writes much anymore) that he admitted he had never seen any of the "Matrix" movies?  I'm pretty sure he was serious. I normally wouldn't care but that seems like a helluva thing for a guy running a pop culture website (and also as someone who has appointed himself a pop cuture guru for years) to admit. Or maybe Im the only one who finds that odd/interesting
4 weeks 16 hours ago	Ill take two	one XL adult size for the pumpkin atop my neck and one toddler sized please. I live in Columbus, help me keep him away from the Dark Side
5 weeks 7 hours ago	we do not speak of	Malwarefest 2011. I survived, barely. For a while, t-shirts were rumored, but never came to be.
5 weeks 6 days ago	id say	the AFC
6 weeks 21 hours ago	but...but	his Mom bought him that Hummer...even though she didnt have the credit to get financed for a stick of chewing gum
6 weeks 1 day ago	whoa	thats pretty close to home.  From what I've read or seen, he was supposedly, quiet, normal, and gave no one the impression there was something amiss.  The whole this is simply astonishing.
6 weeks 1 day ago	the only reason	is because I didnt want it to come off like I was making fun of the guy, because thats the last thing he deserves. But yes, his interview is one for the archives, for certain
7 weeks 1 day ago	oh my god	I remember that...somehow...the mid 90s were a bit fuzzy...wasn't he homeless or something? (or at least looked like it)
8 weeks 1 day ago	prepare to be blown away...	Browns are taking Eifert at 6, IF Jordan and Milliner are both gone (which I think they will be).  They will try to trade back, wont find a partner, and will end up taking Eifert.   Chances are I'll be wrong, but if I end up being right, I'll look like a genius
8 weeks 4 days ago	I really expected	more butthurt emails from Buckeye fans over my little Craigslist post. I am dissapoint. Although, two guys did email and ask how much I wanted.
8 weeks 6 days ago	so far	zero. I think my only responses have been from fellow Michigan fans. One asked if I was Braxton, fwiw
8 weeks 6 days ago	allow me	http://columbus.craigslist.org/sgd/3751856168.html   should be up in a few minutes
8 weeks 6 days ago	remain calm	!
9 weeks 6 days ago	ehh...	If it were me (which is my way of saying I have no idea if this is the "right" or "wrong" way to go about it, only my opinion of what I would do) I would avoid bringing up OSU all together. Ask him how he's doing at Akron, what he thought of his work for the Colts, basically anything but OSU. The best revenge is living well, and further by asking him about his life since then you are subtly reminding him he isn't as OSU anymore. Again, thats just me.  I don't figure he's going to say "Oh yeah, I had my brother handing out wads of cash like it was lunch" and "yeah, we circumvented every rule we could"...I mean, unless you go all Jack Burns and inject him with sodium pentathol in the bathroom.
10 weeks 17 hours ago	this is me for the past 36 hours
10 weeks 2 days ago	nice pull	thank you for posting
10 weeks 5 days ago	mascot?	would he even fit into the curly fries suit?
10 weeks 6 days ago	did not read	wish I could unsee! Gaaah the bad juju aaaahhhh! ( I read far enough to see the expalanation and how this technically isn't bad juju in your eyes, Sir. Howeva...my paranoia is stronger than your rationalization so I will commence my own private freakout.)
11 weeks 2 days ago	I think	you better check with Mike Jones before you do that
11 weeks 4 days ago	My surname is Johnson	I think I had an Uncle Nutpunch, but his moniker was derived from teabagging a punchbowl at a party.
11 weeks 6 days ago	what about	these guys? F*n machine took my quarter, Coach
11 weeks 6 days ago	nice!	mine is a Louisiana Catahoula with a merle coat.  40 pounds of fury, as the mailman calls her
11 weeks 6 days ago	if only	basketball jerseys didnt look so bad on out of shape middle aged white guys, I'd buy one of these for sure.
11 weeks 6 days ago	coincidentally	in real life, my dog is named Maizey. Obvious Michigan connection is obvious, but it was that movie which gave me the idea.
11 weeks 6 days ago	when I was younger	my Uncle Buck had to stay with us for a week when my Parents had to leave town because my Grandfather was dying. One night, his horse fixer was in town and he was going to take my twin sister and I to the track with him. However, my older sister was on a date with her boyfriend Bug, and Uncle Buck knew that he couldn't take us to the track for his big score while my sister was in danger of being deflowered. That's how my Uncle Buck taught me family is more important than gambling.
