My pure speculation,…

My pure speculation, assuming he likes working with JH: if he wants to go to NFL, seems like he’d also want to follow JH bc he’s a known quantity as a boss.

Take off the tin foil hat and go to bed.

Odunze is a beast. Full stop. McElroy (announcer) said he had a better season than Marvin Harrison Jr., and I agree. 

Except for the last 90 seconds of the TX game, very well coached and, like the best coaches, Deboer knows how to scheme to give put his players in the best positions to succeed (as opposed to scheming the way he wants to scheme, regardless of the talent/skills of the players).

That said, they haven’t played great defenses annd aren’t great on defense themselves.

I’m also glad old-school blowhards aren’t around.

It’s been a while since I logged in, but I logged in for this. Bravo!

Is the change from diner to…

Is the change from diner to not-diner something you liked/disliked? That’s the subject of the OP.  It’s not about the factual lineage of every restaurant (or anywhere else for that matter).

 

In those days, the place to…

In those days, the place to go wasn’t Steve’s Lunch anyway. Instead, a couple doors down was the Coffee Break, owned by a very nice Korean couple. I think it’s still there but with a Korean restaurant name. 

I ate there at least once a week. On weekends, there’d be a line out the door at Steve’s Lunch, and all one had to do was waltz 100 feet to Coffee Break and, with no wait, enjoy better food, which, as you point out wasn’t up to par with really good Korean food but was better than Steve’s.

No.

No.

It’s all about SEC speed. I…

It’s all about SEC speed. I saw a very trusted source (ESPN) explain how an SEC player who runs 4.4 forty is actually faster than a B1G player with the same time.

The conference itself actually makes them faster despite precise time measurements that suggest they have identical speed.

The SEC defies laws of physics. Amazing, really.

The opposite is clear…

The opposite is clear. Vaccines are the reason outcomes are so mild. Spread and vax evasion rate differences are expected possibilities from variants. Just rudimentary scientific principles playing out in real life.

You inadvertently hit on big difference between the SEC and B1G:

“Obviously the divine does not take interest in football games . . . “

Of no consequence, but one takeaway from that piece is we are lucky to have so many good writers covering Michigan sports. That read like a middle school book report.

The only OSU alum I know is embarrassed that he’s the face of OSU fans.

Logged on only to say this is the funniest thing I’ve read on the Board in a long, long time.

I really liked this idea (genuinely) until I asked myself, "Double up the now-annual ass beatings by OSU?"

Hard pass.

Aside from what the others…

Aside from what the others mentioned, and more to the point of how stupid your reply is, the topic/question is whether it's the most stunning death "ever," as in, all of history. So I don't give a fuck about his stature/relevance now -- not bc Kobe didn't have more stature/relevance than Clemente today; Kobe did -- but bc the fact that he died today instead of 50 years ago, and his stature today compared to someone who died 50 years ago, are irrelevant to the question.

 

Clemente by a mile over Kobe…

Clemente by a mile over Kobe, if you're talking U.S. only.

But Andrés Escobar (see the 30 for 30 on his death) exceeds Clemente.

Shameful call and even more…

Shameful call and even more shameful attempt to explain it by the guy talking to the announcers.  He was flat out unwilling to criticize the call or ref.

It was embarrassing and nothing like the Hutchinson call or the OSU call.
 

Wisconsin gave away the game a dozen ways, but that doesn’t mean that abomination by the refs wasn’t critical.  

Bad officiating? Ok, I…

Bad officiating? Ok, I suppose.

Weird conspiracy theories? Tell us the brand of tin foil do you wear.

Huh? Who gives a crap if an OSU fan posts here, especially during game week?

 

Sure, trolling, etc. is lame, but that's not what happened here. Rather, the reply was a substantive response to the original post.

Get over yourself. MGoBlog isn't sacred ground.

Who is overlooking OSU…

???

Who is overlooking OSU’s defense? They’re favored by 10 on the road versus a team that’s been on fire on both sides of the ball. Indeed, the biggest concern I have for this game is OSU’s defense, specifically the D line. Patterson has been great when not too pressured.  He’s terrible when pressured, with bad decisions and accuracy problems even when throwing to a wide open target. He’ll be pressured Saturday.

Danna's 3rd and 2 play was…

Danna's 3rd and 2 play was seriously top-tier. He completely stood up the runner despite significant forward momentum.

Just give us a win with no…

Just give us a win with no injuries. F-k running the score up if it means risking the health of starters or others who routinely get major playing time. If the 2nd/3rd stringers can run the score up, so be it.

Regardless, I don't see what would lead anyone to think we'll be in position to run the score up. Our offense remains inconsistent and not as productive as the talent on the field would indicate. And Sparty isn't going to lay down so easily in their biggest game of the season by far. We dominated the game last year and mustered only 21 points.

Perhaps it has something to…

Perhaps it has something to do with Patterson's accuracy fluctuating wildly from complete dimes to complete Canadian pennies.

We've had the luck and…

We've had the luck and luxury of a string of top-tier corners for a few years. If Vincent Gray is an indication of what's behind the current pair Hill/Thomas, we're in deep trouble.

Re No. 5, if we were…

Re No. 5, if we were actually keeping our "real" offense off the field in the Iowa game (among others where, theoretically, we inexplicably kept our "real" offense off the field), then the coaches suck way more than any BPONE attitude would suggest.

 

This makes little sense…

This makes little sense unless Blackwell is independently wealthy. Either he's paying his attorneys a fortune or the attorneys are working on contingency. I suppose the former is possible if he has the financial flexibility to pursue this for revenge. In the latter case, the attorneys wouldn't consider taking on a case where the primary motivation was plaintiff's revenge and desire to see a person squirm at deposition.

No need to reply to every dingbat on this board. You’d get carpal tunnel syndrome trying.

Spend a couple decades or more as a lawyer (actually, even a couple days should be sufficient), and you'll realize what someone is "seeking" in a lawsuit (claiming as damages) bears little relevance to either/both of what one would accept in settlement and/or what one has a chance in hell of recovering at trial.

There’s nothing wrong with this post. It’s an SI piece with plenty of Michigan content, and your title was appropriately sarcastic  

People here just can’t deal with anything negative, and they inexplicably care (and, even more inexplicably, think others care equally) about a down/up vote on a chat board.

1. I don't blame them. I'd have us on low, too.

2. That's funny, and, given what we dish out, we've gotta be able to take it in, particularly when we have underperformed to such a high degree. And the beauty of touting SAT scores is that we can do it all year round and remind them every time we hand them a paycheck.

Headphones are not aligned over his ear. His limp is obviously so severe he can't even keep headphones on his head.

Increased playing of soccer…

Increased playing of soccer has already translated into significant increases in watching of soccer.

Still tiny compared to football, obviously, and I agree that it probably won't catch football anytime soon, but the corroborating data is easy to find.

Media routinely overstates,…

Media routinely overstate, understate, or misstate intellectual property stories like this. It's an initial refusal, which is very common for all trademark registration applications. No "appeal" is necessary, just a regular response to the objection is due in 6 months, and I'm sure OSU was ready for this objection given the nature of the mark and the objection itself. 

Also, fwiw, there is no inherent reason why the word THE cannot be registered as a trademark. Indeed, one of the objections by the USPTO is that there is a prior filed application to register THE for clothing and other consumer goods by the Marc Jacobs company. There are reasons why it can be difficult to register a word like THE by itself, and OSU has to deal with some of them, but that's a different matter. 

You quoted something about…

You quoted something about Clemson (the school itself) as "a public institution" supporting/promoting religion, and proceeded to reply about "Swinney from promoting religion."

The law treats a public institution and an individual differently as it relates to actions that promote one religion over non-religion or one religion over another. If, for practical purposes, Swinney is Clemson, then the legal issues become much more interesting.

I would not think that at all based on someone's claimed moral/spiritual standards.

Horan didn't start bc she already had a yellow, and they didn't want to risk accumulation yellow, but it was clear by halftime that we may have needed her presence to avoid a huge upset.

 Horan should be starting…

 Horan should be starting over Ertz. She’s among the top players in the world and would settle things down. Not really knocking Ertz, who’s a great player, just not as good as Horan.

Best of luck to your father-in-law, you and your wife, family, etc.

I was born w/ a genetic kidney disease and was lucky enough to find a living donor (transplant will be 5 years in October), and, if asked, I recommend doing exactly what you're doing --

It's a  numbers game get the word out and ask others to get the word out for you. It's simple, validated math: the more people aware of your situation, the more likely you'll find a potential donor, whether direct or part of a chain.

Anyone on this board who thinks this is inappropriate -- an appeal that can actually, for real, save a life -- is more myopic than I already think too many people on this board are.

He must really not want to…

He must really not want to be in school, but I wish him the best in the NBA or, much more likely, Europe, China or somewhere other than the NBA unless/until he develops his talents significantly. He doesn't seem near ready for the NBA.

Regardless, I really enjoyed watching him as a Wolverine and was hoping for more!

So you're saying Michigan…

So you're saying Michigan will win by one an only score one. I'll take a 1-0 win.

You can't be a Michigan fan …

You can't be a Michigan fan "first and foremost" for thinking Izzo>Beilein? That's an all-time worst take?

I'd take Beilein over Izzo, but national consensus of neutral viewpoints would certainly have Izzo>Beilein. Fine to disagree, and I do, but it's reasonable to think otherwise and still be UM 1st.

It's an overstatement to say he wasn't used properly "at all," but it's accurate to say that he and other skill position guys were not used properly for too high a percentage of the time.

Perhaps he'll land at SDSU. It appears to be pretty damn soft.
