Update: my 90 priority points

Update: my 90 priority points were insufficient to get tickets. Sorry!

I applied to buy tickets in

I applied to buy tickets in the Michigan section, but I no longer need them. I'll find out on Tuesday if I have to buy them, and if so I'm happy to turn around and sell them at cost to a fan on this site.

Afterwards burn off some of

Afterwards burn off some of the burrito calories with a hike up Bernal Heights, just to the south of there. I think it is one of the best views in the city (if it's not foggy), plus it's not crazy crowded like Twin Peaks.

burritos

No trip to San Francisco is complete without a world class burrito. The best place to go is La Taqueria, within a block of the 24th and Mission BART stop. The place can get real busy so it's good to go not long after it opens; right around 11:20am is the sweet spot. It's cash only so bring it, order a super burrito, and tell them "dorado" so they'll throw it on the grill.

If you google Big Ten

If you google Big Ten football tiebreakers it's the first result. Not being snarky, I'd post the info here but it keeps getting flagged as spam.

The first tiebreaker in a 3-way tie is overall record. In your scenario MSU and OSU would be 11-1 and Michigan 10-2, so it would go to the head to head between MSU and OSU (OSU goes).

 

So we'd need some additional help here.

31-6 Michigan

31-6 Michigan

disappoint

Ah dang, I guess I'll keep waiting for that hadoop developer job to open up in the AD.

booing

This is the only time I remember hearing booing and thinking that it was directed towards the players. I also remember late in the 3rd quarter, Michigan completed a pass that brought our passing numbers out of the negatives (this was how bad the first half was) and that got a sarcastic cheer from the crowd that even the announcers on TV commented on.

The fact that those same players came back out and played the most exciting half of football I had ever witnessed just makes it that much more embarassing that there were so many boos at the end of the first half.

Not astounding...

I think you mean TREMENDOUS.

Anyways Six Zero... I am so excited for this.

B1G Championship Game in 2006

Imagine that the BTCG was implemented in 2006. #2 Michigan plays #1 Ohio State in Columbus and loses by 3 points. Then, because both teams won their divisions, we meet the very next week in Indianapolis. Michigan wins THAT game by 3 or more (anyone disagree?). Now who goes to the national championship game? Michigan and Ohio State for a THIRD game in a single season? This is very probable in a system that allows non-conferance champions in the national championship game.

Michigan Wins

16-10

And if they don't send it

And if they don't send it exactly as pictured I'm sending that crap back.

I just bought one for the

I just bought one for the girlfriend... she's a sparty fan and I'm slowly edging her towards the light side of the force.

A lot of people say they'll

A lot of people say they'll support MSU in every game but one. I, personally, hope they lose every single game. Why? Because I don't want to hurt Kirk's feelings.

campus visit

When I took a campus tour at MSU about 5 years ago, the admissions salesman came in and the first thing he said was "I want to clear things up that despite what you may have heard from Ann Arbor, THIS is THE University of Michigan." I thought it was kind of weird at the time and looking back it seems more pathetic.

At the tour I took at Michigan (where I ended up), they didn't even mention any other schools, which I would expect. They just showed an awesome video featuring James Earl Jones.

seal vs 'M'

I think of putting the Seal in Michigan Stadium is like a reminder that the athletes are still students at the end of the day. Using the seal in athletics is pretty much the same as believing in the amateurism of college football... however you may feel about that.

Thanks

Thanks for keeping us informed Tim, by which I mean thank you for fueling our football addictions. Best of luck at the new gig!
