I think you're vastly overstating the effect of moving to the East. The Wings were destined for some bad years. The simple fact is that they are just not a very good hockey team and are missing LOTS of pieces still.
Jamison seems intriguing. Could we give him a title bump also since he's Co-DC now? Do not want anything to do with Larry Johnson. I would rather not have a coach than him.
This is just saying a lot of nothing. Athletes get major favoritism. Rivals used to post the GPAs and test scores of recruits. Michigan was regularly taking and signing guys with 15 ACTs. But for football they would not even sniff Michigan. Most of them are applying to LSA or Kines. There really is no reason why LSA should be drawing such a distinction when they’re already dropping their standards to admit substandard students.
So if that applies to transfer credits, why doesn’t it apply to admission standards more generally? I don’t think you have any defensible reason for your position. Athletes in the major sports (basketball, football, and hockey) absolutely get in with far lower grades and test scores and I don’t just mean marginally. I mean but for the fact that these guys play sports, their application would have been tossed in the trash. It’s not an instance where you have someone with like a 3.5 and 27 on their ACT and you’re like “hmm a little lower than we’d like but he’s well rounded with the sports and is also a 4*.” I’m talking guys like with C averages in non-advanced classes and like 15s other ACTs. I’ve asked you this before and you’ve never responded. Why isn’t this a slap in the face to the rest of the student body, who largely got in on merit? And for the record, I don’t mind or care, but your stance is just BS l, hypocritical, and sanctimonious.
Hmm, I don't think that's accurate. Quick googling tells me that Georgia declined last year to go because of scheduling issues, so I suspect they'll go. I hope some of the players who declared still get to go.
No issue with an honest discussion. My family is a minority religious group from the Middle East and left to escape persecution in the 1940s, so I can speak to some of what my parents and grandparents went through. Honest discussion - great. There's plenty of history of Arab colonialism throughout history that gets glossed over these days, especially in light of current world happenings. Ibrahim is not a real historian. He's just a bigot with an agenda trying to sell books and wade into culture wars.
I know Milroe threw his helmet, but the guy played his ass off after being doubted all year and got stuffed at the goal line to lose the game. It's understandable in the heat of the moment.
Yes, definitely worth it in terms of talent, but for his sake, I hope he drops a little into a more stable situation ala Aaron Rodgers, minus going insane.
Avon Donuts in Pontiac is great. Donut Cutter too. I don’t think I’ve been to the other place. If you’re willing to trek down Woodward to Palmer Woods, Dutch Girl Donuts is reopening under new ownership. Donut Bar in Southfield is just ok. A little decadent and too done up for donuts if you ask me. Duck Donuts in Troy is great and not a bad drive from you. Also, the kosher bakery on 13 and Southfield has good donuts. I’m blanking on the name.
Right, but that's shortsighted. Don't you think Michigan with Jim Harbaugh is more valuable than Michigan without? So if Harbaugh marched in and said "It's me or Warde," you don't think they would give Warde the boot?
Not sure what show you’re watching, but Litt was a partner in season 1. Also, as the show moves on, he becomes one of the better characters. As a lawyer, I usually hate lawyer shows and while this one has a lot of stuff in it that’s not believable, it’s actually not bad if you just remember you’re watching a show/drama and it’s not supposed to be real or anything like what practicing law in those firms is like. It’s just good, light hearted fun. The lead actor, Gabriel Mach, is great as well.
Last time I looked for men's BBall tickets (maybe 3 weeks ago) through the university and on the open market, they were still going for an arm and a leg. It's not a hot ticket in town, so I'm not going to pay 50 bucks a ticket to take my family to sit in the nose bleeds and spend $300-$500 for an afternoon. Factor in gas, lunch or dinner while you're in AA for 5, any concessions, plus the cost of tickets, and you're already there. Attending live sports or concerts is getting increasingly cost prohibitive. Hell, almost everything is. I just canceled all my cable and streaming accounts except for Amazon prime, which I'll always have because of the Prime membership we keep for shipping. I'll get something for football season, but I'm overall done. Netflix just shot up for no reason. YTTV keeps going up and getting into pissing contests with sports providers. I can catch most Wings/Pistons highlights the next morning for free. Hulu is the same. WTF is a Paramount and why does it have its own streaming platform?
I've been reading a lot more and my life is a lot more enjoyable.
It's literally not the same thing at all. Fisher took over at the end of the regular season and saw the team through the tournament. Moore coached the regular season, which if you are being honest, there's less room for error in football than basketball, so Moore keeping the team afloat through some of the toughest games was crucial. We could have fallen out of the top 4 if he didn't keep us undefeated.

Given the new General Manager we have, is his position redundant? Or did they do different things?

Helluva lot closer than the west coast teams, and you’re losing dozens of games starting at 10/1030 Michigan time, which was never fun.
While I will always hate the Avs, once that generation of players retired and moved on, it wasn’t quite the same.

Thread title was not very informative.
If Harbaugh said, "It's me or Warde. He stays, I walk. Make your choice," then Warde would be jobless. This is just a stupid take.
Pretty cool. I like how the first Sparty one has the head fully inside of the lower peninsula. Howcome they didn't do that for the others?

Ibrahim is a dogshit historian who can barely analyze anything at above an 8th grade level and is a bigot.

I mean if your goal is to make it to the NFL and get drafted in 2025, then yes, absolutely it’s better to play.
