This is one of the main reasons I hold on to my ford stock. they actually currently pay one of the higher dividend rates of any other major company that I know.

In Ford's defense in early 2009 ford was trading at a $1, i remember this because at time i told everyone who would listen if i i d any money i would invest it all in ford. at the time I had no money. Over the early courses of last year they were making significant gains in there stock getting up up to around $13 a share. Over the course of the last couple of years they have made a lot of investments that may very well pay off when the word returns back to normal. Including partnering with vw and major investments in electrical vehicles. Building what I believe is already the largest network of electric chargers in the country. I think in the long run Ford will be fine.

not gonna lie

Actually kind of liked the all maize jerseys. at least I liked them when not playing a team wearing all red.

You are al lright. I guess I'll just go and put my new apparel next to my Archie Griffen and Eddie George throwback jerseys. Jordan is the enemy is one of the first things I was taught when I first started watching basketball. That's just the way I was raised.

As a late 80s early 90s pistons fan I promise you

As a late 80s early 90s pistons fan I promise you that I will never buy a piece of apparel with Michael Jordan's likeness on it. If a team wore it, outside of the pistons, I wouldn't necessarily complain. If somebody bought me a pair of track pants as a present I may wear them. But I would never spend my money on a jersey or a shirt or a pair of shoes or anything else with an outline of Michael Jordan on it. If however this is just phase one in introducing a whole football line with a new logo modeled after Charles Woodson I may need a second job.

If asked maybe

If Harbaugh asked hoke to stay on as a D line coach I'm sure he would do it. And it would be awesome. However it would probably be extremely awkward and unlikely.

Michigan Tech one of the best

Michigan Tech one of the best engineering schools in the country. Was there ever a time when it was easier to get into Tech than State?

Michigan was moving the ball

Michigan was moving the ball and would very likely have gone with a touchdown when Denard got hurt.  It's not hard to beleive if he played through the second and into the late 3rd or 4th quarter when the injury occured that Michigan would have been ahead.

When Bellomy came in Nebraska did nothing but blitz him the entire game, and the Defense held up pretty well considering I think Michigan had less than 50 yards of total offense the rest of the game.

I've always wondered if

I've always wondered if Denard was hurt in the second half of the Nebrask game instead of the first and Michigan held on to win how people would view this team.  Sure last year would still have sucked but it would have been after a year when Michigan played in the Big Ten Championship game.

I wonder how they plan on doing that considering a

I wonder how they plan on doing that considering a majority of non football and basketball student athletes don't get full scholarships now.

I just want to know where

I just want to know where they're getting that from.  I can thnk of plenty of times the former coaching staff may have blamed losses on the performance of players.  But I can't think of a single time when the current staff said anything more than "we're not living up to the Michigan standard" which pointing out that that starts with the coaches .  I just want one recruit to step up one day and ask Meyer to cite his sources.

So is it okay if I call them red people and leave

So is it okay if I call them red people and leave off the skins? How is identifying one group of people by their skin any more or less offensive than labeling any other group by the color of their skins? And intent can not be reason because I can call you white or even by your name with all the aggressiveness and anger as a whole list of words I wouldn't say in front of my mother but that doesn't make either any more or less offensive.

So what exactly is the difference between black,

So what exactly is the difference between black, white, and redskin besides one has been used for the team of a football team so long it seems absolutely ridiculous to use the term to refer to an actual person.

I kind of hope they go with the Savages. With the

I kind of hope they go with the Savages. With the logo being the silhouette of a dude in a loin clothe with a bloody axe in his hand. That's a general term, that can describe anybody of any race or creed.

I always saw the term Redskin as being more

I always saw the term Redskin as being more descriptive than offensive. You know kind of like calling black people black or white people white. At the same time a lot of black take offense to being called black and some hate being called African-American, myself included. So if you want to say naming a team after a group of people shouldn't happen fine. However if you're going to tell me it's offensive, this term is more subjective and what's offensive is a moving line based on the person you're talking to.

Honestly lately when black people get offended by things, my first thought is that black people suck. Of course I have been black for the last 31 years of my life so I feel like I'm in a good enough position to come to that decision.

NU doesn't pull in millions of dollars. Their athletics department does all of which stays in the department. If trying to keep the "union" happy and the NCAA proves not worth it for the University they could easily drop all athletics with little to no backlash from students or alumni.

I think these are the best questions to ask. Not how this effect the school and the NCAA but how the government will now view these employees. Do they to have benefits covered under the ACA now. Do they have to pay taxes. Being an employee suck. I wouldn't wish it upon my worse enemy.

Northwestern was by far the worse place for this

Northwestern was by far the worse place for this whole union thing. I can see them going the way of the University of Chicago and just dropping sports instead of going through the extra headache for an athletics department that probably isn't all that beneficial to them.

Does this mean that Northwestern can fire all of their underperforming players and replace them with better ones now?

My business law professor actually once told us in class that if we ever got into an accident after drinking you would be better off leaving the scene of the crash leaving the car and going straight to the bar because the penalty for leaving the scene of an accident is nowhere near as bad as drunk driving.

I wonder if Michigan took some excess cash and built a state of the art high tech dorm just for athletics if that would be considered an impermissible benefits.

I would honestly prefer it's over by the ten minute mark in the first half.

If we're in a spot where five last minute

If we're in a spot where five last minute scholarship players have any importance to us in late November it's already to late. When you're not a team that goes through "roster management" every year getting the most out of every scholarship is hugely important.

Next year's class is suppose to be small also. So

Next year's class is suppose to be small also. So I don't mind holding on to the scholarships to try and use them to find a couple more players they really like next year instead of just picking bodies that would probably rarely see the field over the course of their career.

I wonder what the penalty will be if things don't

I wonder what the penalty will be if things don't go their way, or our way for that matter. Will federal funding be cut?

I guess I just care because I prefer things that at least try to make some kind of sense. Just telling me two people are siblings and they clearly most likely are not without some kind of explanation irritates me almost as much as people who think the words literally and figuratively are interchangeable.

If this is the same video they were showing on

If this is the same video they were showing on SportCenter this isn't a video of Ray Rice hitting somebody it's a video of Ray Rice carrying a woman off of an elevator. I have no way of knowing how she got that way. It takes a lot of force to render somebody to that degree of unconscious. My biggest concern is that no matter how it happened Rice seems way to calm.
