2 days 11 hours ago	Reached a different group of people	I think the wii was so successful because it reached a different group of people. We got one for our kids when they were younger because it was more cartoonish and easy to play. My parents bought one before we did and they would have their friends bowl and play frisby golf. They never bought a system before then.
8 weeks 2 days ago	Wagner at the 4?	I wonder if they would try Wagner there at the 4, and play one of their centers at the 5. Still have the height at the 4with potential for 3 pointers still, and he would not have to face opposing big men.

11 weeks 6 days ago	I swear I had something for this	After what happened in this draft I believe players will be increasingly likely to sit out non playoff bowl game, and use Jake as an example. In fact, there may be so many that they are given a nickname. Butt men? Butt heads? Butters?
12 weeks 15 hours ago	I must be the highly impressionable type...	Immediatly after watching this video I got into a pool noodle sword fight with my kids.
12 weeks 1 day ago	Well said	That has always been my feeling towards pro sports. I look too see which teams have former Michigan players and root for those teams. Maybe it has sometging to do with living on Michigan in the 80s and Cincinnati in the 90s.
12 weeks 6 days ago	Love this	I would love to see Harbaugh hang a pictute of him and the Pope holding a Michigan helmet. Then later someone sits down in a chair in his office and notices the picture...

14 weeks 1 day ago	Going to be a great day	The wife and I both have the day off work, my 8 year old and my 6 year old share a birthday, and Kings Island opens today. Going to be a fun one. Bang away.
14 weeks 3 days ago	Right now it pays to cheat.	What really bothers me is that the NCAA has set up a system where it helps to cheat. NC has a scandal and nothing happens. Thry win the national championship. Louisville recruits illegally, sure someone gets in trouble but no one important, and they have a national championship. Alabama cheats and some guy way down the line gets let go but the school have seval national championships. OSU essentially pays players, and except for the one year, is excelling.
16 weeks 2 days ago	You are only there as emotional support	I have four kids. The first time was very worrying as everything was new. The other three were not too bad because I knew what was about to happen. Pack a bag. Write a check list before you leave to make sure you have everything. At the hospital you are just there for support. See if she needs anything. If she does, help her. If not, just hang out. Trust the support staff, they do it for a living. You are not the only couple to ever have a baby. When it come to the delivery, it is not that bad. Personally, I think it is worth a look. You can be the color commentator during delivery. Let her know what is going on. Except if your wife poops when she delivers. What many people do not think about is that the pushing for delivery and pushing for pooping are similar. Your wife does not need to know this. When the baby is born it will be very goopy and probably have blueish hands and feet. That is normal. It freaked me out the first time. Also, a day after the baby is born and she has been fed and changed, allow the nurse to take the baby to the nursery and get some rest. This is very important and you are not a bad parent for needing to take a nap.

21 weeks 6 days ago	Some interesting ideas out there	Personally, I would like to see someone attach a novelty hand to a headband, a ttatch a basketball to it, and dunk the ball by putting their head next to the rim.
22 weeks 3 days ago	Teske block	I love the Teske block given the larger context of the play. After the block, Michigan got a quick three point bucket. On the next Indiana possesition, one of the players went to drive to the basket, thought better of it, then passed to a player who missed. Michigan rebound.

28 weeks 2 days ago	great improvement	That is so much better than they were a few years ago.
32 weeks 2 days ago	I think you also have to	I think you also have to consider how many times Gary was a step behind one of the other D linemen who got the sack, or funneled a QB or RB to someone else who got the stat. Then there was all of those times Gary stretched a running play to the sideline for a no gain or a gain on 1 when a lesser player would have given up 5 or 6 yards. For a freshman playing with the rest of the nfl caliber d line I thought he did great, and only someone who quantifies plays by stats alone would think he did not have a great first year.

39 weeks 6 days ago	Chain gang	You can see the video after clicking the link at the bottom of the op post. While I am sure I will get the terminology wrong, the chain gang is the three guys who mark the 10 yards from where the ball is on first down to 10 yards from there, connected by a chain. The thing they bring out to measure if the ball is close to a first down. Harbaugh was shown with the spot of the ball / down marker. Pretty smart, he gets to be right on the sidelines with the players, though I am not sure if he would have been able to do that anyway
41 weeks 2 days ago	Crowd noise is wonderful	I love the volume levels of the crowd during the play.  They are loud at the beginning of the play and then it seems over half are silent as the ball is in the air only to erupt after the interception is made.
41 weeks 6 days ago	It was tough to sit through?	I stood in front of my tv for the entire 4th quarter.

You know, because his team was going to devour the helpless opposition. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
