1 day 17 hours ago	Baseball may be considered a	Baseball may be considered a revenue sport, but I have some fond memories of those games.  Back in the springtime when most of the students disappeared, we used to bring folding chairs and coolers of beer and park out behind the outfield fences. It was the perfect way to start one of those college nights before the house parties began.

1 week 3 days ago	Both. I'm a pretty	Both. I'm a pretty sympathetic movie-goer, but this one lacked much of a plot entirely. I am a fan of horror movies, but this one was less a horror film than an exaltation of violence and gore.
1 week 3 days ago	There will always be	There will always be unresolved closure for me regarding the OSU losing streak stretch. I grew up a die-hard fan, dreamed of attending a Michigan-Ohio State game as a college student, worked my tail off in high school with the sole motivation of watching one of those games as a student, and miraculously found myself living that Michigan dream from 2006-2010. Alas, I watched Michigan lose to Ohio State four timess during my college tenure - in person for three of them. After that last one, I sat in the stadium for what seemed like hours, pondering my ill fortune and also where the time had went.  It was a hard dose of reality never seeing Michigan beat Ohio State during my college years, something that seemed to carry meaning beyond the sports world.

3 weeks 4 days ago	This team has been a real	This team has been a real treat for long-time Wings fans. After years of being the victim of the underdog, the Wings have turned the tables to become the vaunted underdog themselves. All the essential components are there: clicking at the right time, a goalie playing out of his mind, youngsters from the farm system making key contributions. And after barely clawing their way into the playoffs, they are one game away from the Western Conference Finals. I've been a lifelong Wings fan, but this is such a unique experience to be treated to.

5 weeks 2 days ago	Some mother's day	Some mother's day schadenfreude: Completing the hat-trick, news reports are beginning to trickle in of Titus Young's third arrest this week. This time around Young is accused of burglary and resisting arrest.  I think it is safe to say, however, that this has quickly moved out of the realm of schadenfreude and into the category of just sad.

6 weeks 1 day ago	Completely agree with you. If	Completely agree with you. If a Ducks player did this to a Wings player everyone in hockeytown would be irate. I actually love Abby as a player despite his Sparty roots, and I am certainly a Wings homer, but I do believe Abdelkader left his feet - which is a big no-no these days. As for Abdelkader being a border-line AHL player, I'll respectfully disagree. He can be a big impact player for us when he is on his game. Bottom line is losing Abdelkader and DeKeyser could spell our doom. The wings simply were not that good to begin with, which should be clear to anyone who has followed them this season. Losing two guys certainly won't help our chances.

I've seen students' phones go off during exams and in the middle of representing someone in court.
