1 day 1 hour ago	Mike Babcock has made	Mike Babcock has made comments that he is very high on Glendening. Don't write him off.
5 days 10 hours ago	My experience is	My experience is predominantly in Michigan. It may be wider than that but I can't speak to experience outside of that.
5 days 11 hours ago	I consult with businesses,	I consult with businesses, and have heard this same refrain more times than I can count.
5 days 13 hours ago	While there are good things	While there are good things happening in Detroit, the fact is that the numbers make a comeback an epic challenge. It's a city who's infrastructure was built to support several million people. There are now 700,000ish. Even without majorly depressed property values, collecting enough revenue to support all the road/sewer/water system is a major issue. It's going to take a pretty long time for this to be corrected. / Policy nerdery. I hope that didn't cross the no politics line.
1 week 6 days ago	Signature	The final image leading into your signature has (what I suspect are) unintended consequences.
6 weeks 3 days ago	Nobody seems to mention this,	Nobody seems to mention this, but he made the hit not 8 ft. from an official who didn't even plan to call it a penalty.
6 weeks 5 days ago	The interior line has a lot	The interior line has a lot of questions, but they weren't the greatest last year either. Devin was inconsistent last year, but Devin was a wide reciever last year. Losing Ryan is no doubt painful, but there is a laundry list of talented guys who can be effective replacements. To me, 7-5 is the worst case scenario. The analysis I've seen just doesn't explain this as likely with the drop in schedule difficulty.
7 weeks 2 days ago	That playoff run came on the	That playoff run came on the back of great defense and special teams. To say it was on Tebow is insane. If memory serves, there were some 13-10 type wins in that stretch where he "won games."
11 weeks 2 days ago	And Lincoln had a secretary	And Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy.
12 weeks 5 days ago	Ole Miss: Striking A Blow	Ole Miss: Striking A Blow Against Unwatchable Basketball Since 2013.
12 weeks 5 days ago	You can say college	You can say college basketball was a big money enterprise when they committed. That's true. But I don't think anybody understood just how big the money would get, and a lot of it directly on the back of the Fab Five. They were a phenomenon unlike anything seen before. I'm not sure I agree with Jalen, but I have no trouble seeing the source of his frustration.
12 weeks 5 days ago	I get why he's upset. All	I get why he's upset. All they had was the cultural effect they had on the game. The school and the NCAA took that from them to a degree. Meanwhile, the athletic dept. and NCAA most certainly held on to all the cash the leveraged from them.
12 weeks 6 days ago	Working late, probably	Working late, probably through the game. I would rather be chewing tin foil.
13 weeks 3 days ago	1. No. It just makes me	1. No. It just makes me overall less enthused with life. I should probably seek therapy. 2. When M is losing in basketball I just don't follow the sport at all. Basketball is in my opinion the worst of the major sports. Too much left to the whims of the officials. I do not miss it when I'm not watching it. 3. Spring football. 4. Football. Always football. See above. 5. Football. Basketball is too hard to predict due to the sheer number of one and done guys. Thank you for completeing the survey. Wait, that's not right...

13 weeks 6 days ago	I like the Eastern Conference	I like the Eastern Conference alignment for playoff start times. Now if the Wings would just make the playoffs, it would be perfect.
14 weeks 14 hours ago	The TE role in the passing	The TE role in the passing game. And I nominate FunchyButtLovin'.
14 weeks 2 days ago	Low Pressure	I think a home arena should try to create an atmosphere of complete and total indifference. Casual conversation, send a text, and golf claps. That's the ticket to free throw shooting success.
15 weeks 1 day ago	Just in case the tone of my	Just in case the tone of my post didn't come through, I wasn't looking for any explanation. Just some good old fashioned chop busting.
15 weeks 1 day ago	Either you've had a busy	Either you've had a busy posting day, or you gave yourself a nice going away present in mgopoint form. Either way, thanks for your service as a mod to the board.
15 weeks 1 day ago	One of the largest hallmarks	One of the largest hallmarks of the PED users was their longevity. Bonds was a freak past 40. Same with Clemens. Griffey's late years saw a decline in performance, and much less durability. He showed a very natural career arc. I don't think the years he played should be enough to call him guilty.

16 weeks 1 day ago	But does Te'o have Ray's	But does Te'o have Ray's killer instinct? /too soon.
16 weeks 4 days ago	Jerry did good work at	Jerry did good work at Michigan. Sad to see him go, but I wish the best for him. It's the nature of the beast.
17 weeks 2 days ago	I have doubts they would be	I have doubts they would be able to fill it with expanded seating on the field. The last thing they want is something short of a sell out. I don't particularyly see this happening. Bonus rumor dousing: Wrestlemania is held in March if memory serves. You want to roll the dice on an outdoor event in Michigan in March? I would not recommend it.
