4 weeks 6 days ago That’s crazy!!! (I don’t care

That’s crazy!!!

(I don’t care how many others posted the same Thing. I love this man)

11 weeks 6 days ago I understand what you are

I understand what you are saying.  I was trying to speak generally because I didn't want to put words in your mouth.

Regarding your question of whether or not I would risk my safety or my life to protect Nassar or someone simliar the answer is almost certainly not. But that's one of the many reasons I would never be a CO.  

 

I guess my overall point is that I can't judge the desire to see justice meted out but I think a civilized society of laws ought to recognize those baser instincts and move on from them.

11 weeks 6 days ago It's hard to take in

It's hard to take in cognitive dissoance required to say "Sexual assualt is bad" and "I hope that someone gets sexually assualted".  

I'm not saying that's what you are saying but its a common attittude.  Having never been the victim of a violent crime I could never tell a survivor what they should feel.  Hell I would never tell anyone that they shouldn't feel rage or a desire for reciprocal justice when confronted with evil like this.  But I think it speaks poorly of our society that the reaction to crimes like these is often barely disguised vigilantism.

What do you mean by handled?

12 weeks 1 hour ago So pumped!!  Maybe he can

So pumped!!  Maybe he can bring back the Donald Duck impression and joins the Maize Rage again.  And his "I'm Hoongry" answer in the press conference after he set the record was tremendous.

 

There are few Wolverines I've enjoyed rooting for more than Treezy.

12 weeks 23 hours ago I always wondered why the

I always wondered why the ratings agencies never had to pay the piper after the financial collapse.  

12 weeks 3 days ago Isn't William and Mary

Isn't William and Mary considered to be a top school?  Honest question, I didn't even know it was a public school till just now.

12 weeks 3 days ago I was suprised at being so

I was suprised at being so low but I generally don't see the service acadamies ranked with the other public schools.  Makes sense I guess.

14 weeks 6 days ago I loved that until the last

I loved that until the last line.

 

Hold me TomVH!!!!

15 weeks 1 day ago I lean—too hard, it feels—on

"I lean—too hard, it feels—on my housemates and girlfriend and family...The guilt of not doing my share around the house nags at me. My housemates have lives and full-time jobs and problems of their own. ...I also feel guilty that people worry about me, though apparently not quite enough to not write this piece."

 

I know how this feels Ace.  I was recently diagnosed with a condition that requires my family and friends to bend over backwards to accodmodate me.  They seem happy to do it but I don't like it.  I guess you just have to remember that they are doing it because they love you.

 

Best wishes!

15 weeks 3 days ago I think a lot of schools have

I think a lot of schools have volunteers to walk people home, don't they?  Might be worth looking into.

16 weeks 1 day ago Is Ty Law at all engaged with

Is Ty Law at all engaged with the program these days?  I oftentimes forget he is an alum.

20 weeks 6 days ago Good for him. 

Good for him. 

21 weeks 8 min ago It is terrifying to have the

It is terrifying to have the two tackles take the last two spots.  If the pass blocking doesn't improve I don't see us improving record wise next year.

21 weeks 3 days ago Yeah I never got this

Yeah I never got this argument.  Somewho Pep hoodwinked Jim Harbaugh into hiring him?

It just looks stupid.  Same as O$U or when MSU fans call us scUM or skunkbear or whatever.  I've never found it clever or funny.

21 weeks 6 days ago Are pellet smokers that much

Are pellet smokers that much easier than the old ones?  I've been thinking about getting into smoking and something just feels less organic about using pellets.

22 weeks 2 days ago That may or may not end up

That may or may not end up being true but I don’t think it’s fair to Bacari to speculate like that

23 weeks 6 days ago Man those sunfish sailboats

Man those sunfish sailboats are so much fun, but I don't think I'd take one out on Lake Superior haha

24 weeks 1 day ago I think Harbaugh has a pretty

I think Harbaugh has a pretty good idea of whether or not he will be a fit.  I also prefer to avoid calling kids flakes without knowing the whole story.  Not saying that you don't.

24 weeks 1 day ago Yeah I don't get the pearl

Yeah I don't get the pearl clutching in this thread.  If Harbaugh thinks he's a fit and he's academically qualified then I don't see any reason why we can't give him a shot.

30 weeks 1 day ago I had to go with RIP Elijah.

I had to go with RIP Elijah.  The way Chase just comes flying into the frame to finish him off is incredibly fun to watch.

30 weeks 3 days ago I agree that this is a dumb

I agree that this is a dumb take but who ended up in the hospital over the heat?  Or are you talking about Wilton?  Do they not have enough medical equipment there?

31 weeks 32 min ago I was very surprsied Bush

I was very surprsied Bush wasn't ejected.  I don't think it was malicious but it was reckless, which I thought was one of the points of the targeting rule, to change the way players launch themselves.

31 weeks 6 days ago The analogy I use is

The analogy I use is restaurants.  The NFL is like burger franchises.  Yeah you might like McDonalds more than Burger King but they are more or less the same.

 

College is like local mom and pop restaurants.  In the south you'll have great bbq restaurants, in Michigan you'll have Coneys, etc.  

 

College just feels more organic, which is why we react so strongly everytime the MBAs try to ruin it.

I'm sure you've checked it out but I'm the off chance that you haven't, subreddits can be good.

Given recent events, a prosecutor might reasonably prefer to lose a case than to drop it or offer a lenient plea deal to a high profile athletle. 

40 weeks 1 day ago I disagree.  There isn't any

I disagree.  There isn't any upside to scheduling good FCS teams.  

 

I mean obviously its better for the team to compete against good teams but from a PR/rankings standpoint it is a lose lose.  App State probably would have beaten a few other P5 teams that year but because it was FCS that's all we heard about.  

43 weeks 3 days ago I have never heard anybody

I have never heard anybody call Beilein "difficult to deal with".  He seems rather easy to deal with.  

 

You are probably right about the magnetism though.

44 weeks 6 days ago FWIW when I attended in the

FWIW when I attended in the last decade we made far less than that and didn't get a dime in need based aid.  

44 weeks 6 days ago I think this is more or less

I think this is more or less why the University is doing this, to get more underrepresented groups to enroll.  

Can't do affirmative action any more so they have to get creative.  

45 weeks 2 days ago It's not a social emergency,

It's not a social emergency, just sexist.  

45 weeks 2 days ago You aren't on a high horse.

You aren't on a high horse.  Using a femine name as a pejorative is sexist, full stop.  

46 weeks 3 days ago Good for him,  What a career

Good for him,  What a career he has had.  
 

I can't wait to hear the arguements from the voters who leave him off the first ballot.  

46 weeks 3 days ago I suppose going for the

I suppose going for the bigger paycheck is literally selfish but I dn't think Pujols or any athlete deserves to be labeled like that for taking a bigger paycheck.  The leagues and the owners show little loyalty towards the players.  Why should players take a paycut to stay with a team that they oftentimes didn't even choose to be on in the first place?

46 weeks 6 days ago You best protect ya neck...

Even if the Wu Tang Clan stopped at 36 Chambers they would be better than Bone Thugs.  And I like Bone Thugs.

49 weeks 21 hours ago I misread the tweet and

49 weeks 3 days ago Tough news.  He was so

Tough news.  He was so fucking gangster as Cy Tolliver in Deadwood.  Appartently he was originally supposed to play Al but was too sick or something, so Milch wroter Cy for him.

Terrelle Pryor's henious crime of getting some tattoos was before the draft.  

51 weeks 1 day ago Curious how you pronounce

Curious how you pronounce Jeter?  Like Derek or Carmelita?

51 weeks 6 days ago How about hand size?

How about hand size?

51 weeks 6 days ago People talked about it quite

People talked about it quite a bit.  It's just that Jabrill is a extroverted black man who was hyped a lot.  He also plays for one of the top "love to hate" programs.  It was inevitable.  

1 year 1 day ago That's such a strawman.

That's such a strawman.  People like me like noon games for their own merits.  If you think my reaseons are stupid that's fine but they sure as hell don't include Bo's preference.  

Just in case anybody cares, noon games just break up my Saturday better than 3:30 or night games, especially in the fall when the sun starts setting earlier.  I can get back home at a decent time if I go to a game.  If I'm watching the game on TV I still have time afterwards to go out and hunt or do chores or whatever.

I'm not sure why I ventured into the MLive comments.  Good Lord that was rough.

1 year 1 week ago There was an interesting

There was an interesting article on Belichick the other day about how a lot of his coaches have coached not only different position groups, but different sides of the ball.  It seems that he considers that an asset.  Perhaps we are making too much about JayBaugh's lack of RB coaching experience. 

1 year 2 weeks ago If JD did assult her then the

If JD did assult her then the victim's upside is justice, vindication, etc.  

1 year 2 weeks ago I hope you are right but why

I hope you are right but why would prosecutors waste their time with such a supposedly poor case?

1 year 2 weeks ago I know we will probably never

I know we will probably never get any specificss regardling the forklift incident for both legal and privacy reasons, but I really wiss they could tell us exactly what happened.  I've never seen a forklift that someone could walk away from after being run over.

1 year 2 weeks ago Is Michigan prioritizing

Is Michigan prioritizing length in the defensive backfield?  Seems like we are picking up a lot of lanky fellows.  

1 year 2 weeks ago But I thought I heard the

But I thought I heard the sole reason for his hire was to get Rashan Gary.

1 year 4 weeks ago Can someone remind me what

Can someone remind me what records ND and MSU had last year?  

1 year 4 weeks ago Has that punk never heard of

Has that punk never heard of exchange students?  I guess my high school must have faked the grades for the German and Turkish and Brazilian students we had.  

1 year 6 weeks ago If that's what it takes to

If that's what it takes to get Rutgers out of the Big 10 then I'm all for it.  Selfish?  You bet.  

1 year 6 weeks ago I love love love Walton but I

I love love love Walton but I think there may be some recency bias here.  Burke is probably the best Michigan player since Chris Webber.  

1 year 7 weeks ago I'm glad you have the

I'm glad you have the knowledge to give a specific answer.  My go to with those questions is "We aren't sure, and that's okay".  The practical implicaitons of these sorts of discoveries and inventions can be hard to predict.  That doesn't mean we should try.

1 year 7 weeks ago Is there a good reason not to

Is there a good reason not to try burn the clock to make sure we had the last shot?  I'm not being a dick, I'm really curious and basketball game theory isn't my strong suit.  

1 year 7 weeks ago I like you.

I like you.

Was that the one where Spike had a crazy bounce pass between two defenders?

I'm with you.  I'd love to give PSU, Rutgers and Maryland the boot and add Chciago to get an even number.

I'll be that guy and say I'd rather live in Buffalo than Jacksonville.  Some folks enjoy the snow and cold!

1 year 10 weeks ago I'm not holding my breath but

I'm not holding my breath but who knows?  Jalen is a charismatic guy.  I'm surprised to hear it will be a single cam show.  I generally prefer those to multi cams but correlation, as always, does not necessarily imply causation. 

1 year 10 weeks ago I'd like the option.  I don't

I'd like the option.  I don't particularlly like driving at night so it would be awesome to let the car handle that.  But I spend a lot of time up north in the middle of nowhere on dirt roads and two tracks.  I'm not sure how well a fully autonomous car would handle that.  How would you tell it to pull off the two track and park in space between the trees? 

 

I'm also curious how they will handle routes where you don't know exactly where you are going.  A lot of this stuff presupposes that all our driving is from Point A to a well defined point B.  Anyone who has dealt with Google Maps more than a few times knows that is always the case.  And there are time when you just don't know exactly where you want to go until something catches your eye, whether its a restaraunt or the aformentioned gap in the trees where you want to park so you can go fishing.

1 year 10 weeks ago If I were an OSU fan I be too

If I were an OSU fan I be too happy about the National Championship and recent dominance in the rivalry to get worked up over who Michigan hires. 

1 year 10 weeks ago That crossed my mind as well,

That crossed my mind as well, but if having two highly rated recruit ahead of him doesn't scare him off then I imagine he isn't going to stress about who they recruit in the class after him. 

1 year 10 weeks ago Thanks for posting OP.  Did

Thanks for posting OP.  Did not know that he was an alum.  It's very sad to know how few of The Greatest Generation are left.  Hopefully we can all be mindful of their sacrifices as we live our lives. 

1 year 10 weeks ago I agree with you but I have a

I agree with you but I have a hard time telling football players not to do it when it's encouraged in hockey. 

1 year 10 weeks ago The part about his memory is

The part about his memory is interesting.  Miguel Cabrera is said to have a similar memory, can remember what certain pitchers threw him in a specific at bat years ago. 

1 year 10 weeks ago Can someone get me up to

Can someone get me up to speed on this doctor that people keep mentioning?

1 year 10 weeks ago Say what you will but at

Say what you will but at least he isn't a sucker spitter.  Gotta admire the follow through too.  Kids these days talk a good game but don't have the courage of their convictions. 

1 year 10 weeks ago Far too early to make that

Far too early to make that comparison unless you know details that aren't in OP's link (not saying you don't).  What made Baylor especially awful was the coverups and "anything goes" culture Briles and McCaw promoted.  For all we know MSU may be playing this by the book.  I'll grant that having a suspended staff memeber doesn't look good but it's too early to make such a huge judgement.

I really liked Costas and I'll miss him.  He will always be the voice of the Olympics to me.  That being said Tirico has always been one of my favorite broadcasters so hard to be too upset!

Do we know what exactly happened?  They may be leaving for legitimate reasons.  I know I wouldn't want to be on that team right now given the racist, hormonal melodrama that just went down. 

1 year 11 weeks ago Good for Treezy!!  One of my

Good for Treezy!!  One of my favorite players to root for.  I'll bet he is fun as hell to play for. 

1 year 11 weeks ago If memory serves the Utah

If memory serves the Utah game was on Perry, not Rudock.

1 year 11 weeks ago I've hear the opposite about

I've hear the opposite about Newsome FWIW (message board rumors, no secret sources or anything)

1 year 11 weeks ago EDIT-made a remark that could

EDIT-made a remark that could be construed as political, thought better of it.

1 year 11 weeks ago I don't get how football is

I don't get how football is so important to people.  I'd rather Michigan not even have a football program than have this blood on our hands.

1 year 11 weeks ago Liberty hired his boss. 

Liberty hired his boss. 

1 year 11 weeks ago Can you translate this?  What

Can you translate this?  What does give it to McDoom on a fly sweep mean in the context of having a child?

1 year 11 weeks ago Hey I'm with you OP. 

Hey I'm with you OP.  Reasonable question given that there weren't any other PWOs shown.

1 year 12 weeks ago Great stuff!  The gymnastics

Great stuff!  The gymnastics one is awesome!

1 year 12 weeks ago I forgot the one hosted last

I forgot the one hosted last year.  I'd urge people who are upset to give them a chance.  The one guy certainly didn't leave me in stiches but he was an effective emcee.  Kept things moving, avoided awkward pauses (exepct when Shanahan spoke but that wasn't his fault), injected some personality into the proceedings without taking over. 

1 year 12 weeks ago Scout wants him to improve

Scout wants him to improve his frame?  I always read frame as bone structure since folks are always saying prospects have the frame to add more muscle. 

 

Am I being an idiot?  It's happened before. 

1 year 12 weeks ago That DIB story was really

That DIB story was really nice.  I know it didn't work out the way Dantonio wanted but I'm sure it made him feel great to validate a young man's dreams and hard work like that.  That's what working with young people is all about.

Wiltfong's ballz are his livelihood

1 year 12 weeks ago Sorry I can't get too giddy

Sorry I can't get too giddy about a kid making a silly, yet harmless mistake that may serious consequences. 

1 year 12 weeks ago I've heard reports that they

I've heard reports that they are going to deck over the expressway by LTU and develop a more walkable "downtown" there.  If that happens and LTU really expands their residency population Southfield could become a pretty neat place.

 

(Not trying to dog Southfield.  There's some pretty cool stuff over there but having to drive literally everywhere is not really what the kids are looking for)

1 year 12 weeks ago Good to see PaulVB back in

Good to see PaulVB back in the fold!

1 year 12 weeks ago We're starting to look like

We're starting to look like the nerdy goody two shoes in highschool who all the mothers wanted their daugthers to date. 

1 year 12 weeks ago Well put Tim!

Well put Tim!

1 year 12 weeks ago Yeah it's tough.  Hopefully

Yeah it's tough.  Hopefully they can regather themselves in the offseason. 

1 year 12 weeks ago I'm glad I'm not the only one

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.  I'm not opposed to it pulling offers if the student hasn't kept up (we were warned mulitple times as HS seniors that our grades had better not fall if we wanted to keep our spot), but there shouldn't be any ambiguity.  I would argue that unless Swenson and his coach are complete liars there must have been some poor communication. 

1 year 13 weeks ago I think Lewerke can be a good

I think Lewerke can be a good player for them, and we were all excited for deWeaver at one point. 

1 year 13 weeks ago I love EDSBS but this isn't

I love EDSBS but this isn't their finest work.  Everybody hits a grounder to second now and then.

I'm curious what movies they are spoofing.  Sparatacus, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Roman Holiday?  What am I missing?  Also, who is the woman photoshopped on the moped with Harbaugh. 

1 year 13 weeks ago I want to see how hype that

I want to see how hype that guy gets after an huge comeback. 

1 year 13 weeks ago No Kang's?   FITE ME IRL

No Kang's?

 

FITE ME IRL

1 year 13 weeks ago I know that he flamed out

I know that he flamed out hardcore at Ole Miss, but by all accounts he is a completely different coach and person now.  No more drinking and challenging players to fights. 

It's certainly possible that he will go the way of Hoke but I'm rooting for him.

1 year 13 weeks ago Not everybody reads every

Not everybody reads every thread though.

1 year 13 weeks ago Yeah, OP is an idiot for not

Yeah, OP is an idiot for not knowing that "HIlarious Super Bowl Stat" meant Rutgers had the most Big 10 players in the super bowl.

1 year 13 weeks ago Poop.  Thanks for all your

Poop. 

Thanks for all your insight and good luck in the future! 

You got to give us a going away present though.  Something juicy to make the offseason more bearable.

1 year 13 weeks ago I am under the impression

I am under the impression Drevno is leaving within the next couple of years.  Somebody is going to give him a shot.

1 year 13 weeks ago I thought that McGary would

I thought that McGary would shine in the NBA and that THJ would struggle.  I guess I shouldn't start appling for NBA front office jobs.

1 year 13 weeks ago Tall, fast and atheltic, but

Tall, fast and atheltic, but ranked low?  I'm guessing he doesn't have much technique yet.  Seems like the type who could blow up if he can develop.  You never know.

1 year 13 weeks ago I hope that is not a 3/5th

I hope that is not a 3/5th compromise joke

1 year 13 weeks ago I mean the Fab Five, by their

I mean the Fab Five, by their own admission, didn't give a shit about their Europe trip.

1 year 14 weeks ago If we are to believe umbig11

If we are to believe umbig11 and others there was nothing Wheatley could have done about Wilson. 

1 year 14 weeks ago I'm not saying it's

I'm not saying it's impossible but untill I hear from a better souce I'm not buying it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Harbaugh encouraged them to spread their wings and leave the nest if the spirit moved them and somehow that got twisted into "Harbaugh wanted those guys out".

1 year 14 weeks ago This sounds pretty good.  I

This sounds pretty good.  I wouldn't be surrprised if it you have hit the nail on the head.

1 year 14 weeks ago Given umbig11's comments that

Given umbig11's comments that the SEC et al will looks like hypocrites if they oppose it I have to think there will be a storng education and/or service aspect to the trip. 

1 year 14 weeks ago That was brilliant...for a

That was brilliant...for a koala. 

I mean it was brilliant for a person too but even more so for a koala.

1 year 14 weeks ago That's terrible.  I'm sorry

That's terrible.  I'm sorry to hear that.

1 year 14 weeks ago I'm not making a judgement

I'm not making a judgement either way but that's probably because a lot of people are googling that phrase to see if it is a scam.  FWIW I signed up a month ago and when I googled it then I didn't see anything that convinced me it was a scam.

1 year 14 weeks ago How incredibly adorable. 

How incredibly adorable.  Love that Harbaugh is promoting the family atmosphere, although I wouldn't expect anything less than the coach that used to get yelled at by Bo Schembechler as a child. 

1 year 14 weeks ago Seems like a decent

Seems like a decent candidate.  We all know how good Barkley is.  I wonder if he was the primary recruiter.

As far as twitter follows go I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of coaches follow other coaches.  And twitter does a good job of suggesting follows so if he followed one Michigan coach I'm sure the others popped right up.

 

 

1 year 14 weeks ago Good to know.  Thanks!

Good to know.  Thanks!

1 year 14 weeks ago I'm curious what you mean by

I'm curious what you mean by consequences.  Not much Michigan can do right?  I suppose if they suspect Georgia offered impermissiable benefits they could tattle to the NCAA but as we all know that's a long shot. 

1 year 14 weeks ago Please don't patronize me. 

Please don't patronize me.  Of course other coaches cuss out refs.  I'm not sure what I've said makes you think I'm unaware of this. 

1 year 14 weeks ago There has got to be a happy

There has got to be a happy medium between Harbaugh throwing stuff and Jim Caldwell just standing stoically.  I love Harbaugh but I'm worried that he is starting to get the Rasheed Wallace treatment where if someone else did what he gets penalized for it wouldn't be a big deal.  I mean he's already getting techincals. 

1 year 14 weeks ago I took it to mean that he got

I took it to mean that he got the job.  De'Veon probably wouldn't have tweeted anything if he was just interviewing. 

1 year 15 weeks ago Well they would have to deny

Well they would have to deny it wouldn't they?  If Jabrill has signed with an agent I believe that is a point of no return. 

1 year 16 weeks ago That was quite the embroglio

That was quite the embroglio

1 year 16 weeks ago I'm sure Urban will just get

I'm sure Urban will just get another 5 star to replace him.  

Also fuck Counterstrike.  

1 year 16 weeks ago This is not bad.

This is not bad.

1 year 16 weeks ago Man I completely forgot about

Man I completely forgot about that.  For those who don't remember David's dad was an MDOT worker who was struck and killed on the highway during or right after his recruitment.  I can't imagine what that would be like.

Judging from his very gracious post above he seems to be doing his father proud. 

1 year 16 weeks ago This is very weird.  Do they

This is very weird.  Do they want Jim Harbaugh, a married man, to talk about how much he loves HAWT TITS?  Why don't they ask him if he's going to take the team to a strip club?  Lot of those in Miami as well.

1 year 16 weeks ago PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.  YOU

PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.  YOU SMILING.  WHY ARE YOU SMILING?

1 year 18 weeks ago I can only speak for myself,

I can only speak for myself, but I am happy a Michigan program is doing well and PJ Fleck is fun as hell to root for.  I enjoy hearing about them.

1 year 19 weeks ago Larry is a tough son of a

Larry is a tough son of a gun.  Making his Wolveine family proud.

1 year 19 weeks ago Yeah I see what you're

Yeah I see what you're saying.  Definitely want kids to be able to get the full Michigan academic experience.

 

I truly have no idea what goes into GS.  As far as kineselogy goes, movement sciences/sports management etc is a pretty natural route for athletes to take, so I don't worry too much about that.  As long as it doesn't turn into a UNC African American studies situation where it just exists to get athletes good grades I'm fine with it.  Hopefully the university scrutinizes any program with a disproportionate amount of atheltes.  

1 year 19 weeks ago You need to provide some

You need to provide some evidence that GS and Kines are easy.  They may be easier than some degrees but as far as I know they take work just like any other degree at Michigan.  

 

Also there are 4 different undergraduate programs at Kines so I'm not sure if you are talking more about Sport Management than Movement Sciences or what.  

1 year 19 weeks ago Sorry to be that guy but you

Sorry to be that guy but you have a typeo.  It's spelled Sparty.

1 year 20 weeks ago That's not the guy who said

That's not the guy who said he had a big annoucement last year only for it to turn out to be a website redesign is it?

1 year 20 weeks ago Not a game changer but never

Not a game changer but never understood why people give him shit for having on oline that can't run block.

1 year 20 weeks ago I think OP raises an

I think OP raises an interesting question.

I don't mind Jim jawing at the refs now and then.  My favorite Bo photo is that one of him and Lloyd screaming at a ref.  I do think it can help sometimes and I have often wished Jim Caldwell would get into with the refs now and then.  

That being said, I'm worried that he is starting to get the Rasheed Wallace treatment, where behavior that wouldn't be a problem for someone else is treated different simply because he is who he is.  Most coaches lay into refs, but for whatever reason Harbaugh has developed a reputation for it and I wonder if that is doing more harm than good at this point.

1 year 21 weeks ago Let's Go Larry!

Let's Go Larry!

1 year 21 weeks ago I wouldn't be shocked to see

I wouldn't be shocked to see him do well again.  I know he's not going back to the old Tiger Slam days, but someone that competetive and talented could very well be able to make some noise.  Hopefully his body doesn't betray him.

1 year 21 weeks ago Can someone clear up what

Can someone clear up what exactly our academic standards for athletes are?

1 year 21 weeks ago I'm thrilled for EMU for sure

I'm thrilled for EMU for sure but I wish it wasn't such an expensive bowl to go to.  People were fed up with how much the football program cost before.  It's going to be a lot more this year.

1 year 21 weeks ago Very serious.  A matter of

Very serious.  A matter of life and death.

1 year 21 weeks ago  it is really hard to compete

 it is really hard to compete at ND with their academic standards

 

Stanford is somehow able to make it work.  

1 year 21 weeks ago Yes.

Yes.

1 year 21 weeks ago I remember it well and I

I remember it well and I stand by it.  Making jokes about football games while people are being shot is absurd.  

1 year 21 weeks ago You must not have seen all

You must not have seen all the jokes and shitty comments that the mods just deleted.  Very poor look for this site.  

1 year 22 weeks ago Well he did grab and twist

Well he did grab and twist that State player's facemask.

1 year 22 weeks ago Love this quote from Bobby

Love this quote from Bobby Knight in the vignettes article linked in the beginning.

 

“The first (Big Ten) meeting we went to — Wayne Duke was a great commissioner. The guy who succeeded him (Jim Delany), I had no use for him. Neither did Bo. I remember the first meeting we had, Bo came in and he sat down with me. I was sitting by myself. Bo sat down and looked around and said ‘I’m damn sure not happy about this.’ He was very smart.

1 year 23 weeks ago I'd rather be consistantly

I'd rather be consistantly good than have one championship and a bunch of shitty years.  

1 year 24 weeks ago I generally root for the

I generally root for the predators in these nature films but I found I was really pulling for the iguana.  Stay safe little buddy!!

1 year 25 weeks ago I'm glad we aren't doing the

I'm glad we aren't doing the Friday night thing but we weren't too upset with the Thursday night game against Utah were we?  Or am I not remembering correctly?  I didn't particularlly like that time slot but I don't recall a lot of complaints.  

1 year 25 weeks ago Well won't that just have

Well won't that just have everybody loving the Big Ten?  We should be trying to have those teams play on Mondays at 6am

1 year 25 weeks ago I had no idea.  I'd be down.

I had no idea.  I'd be down.  I've never heard him call a game before.  Does he bring much humor with him?

1 year 25 weeks ago Glad my intent came through.

Glad my intent came through.  I got a lot of love for Jim and wouldn't want to see him leave unless it was on his own terms.  

They could try and see if Dan Miller was interested in spending more time with Jim on the weekends.  

Or Dan Dickerson.  It's not like the Tigers are going to be doing anything in the fall for the foreseeable future.

1 year 25 weeks ago I'm from N-E-W Jers where

I'm from N-E-W Jers

where plenty 5 stars occurs

no points to come

we bring drama to all you herbs

1 year 25 weeks ago Yeah I love Brandstatter, but

Yeah I love Brandstatter, but he's a color guy.  They need to find a PBP guy and then Jim and Dan can just share the color duties.  

1 year 25 weeks ago Did they really have kegs in

Did they really have kegs in the stands back then?  I've always heard that, crazy to think about.

1 year 25 weeks ago Glad they gave some context

Glad they gave some context for the photo of the coach grabbing his jersey.  

1 year 25 weeks ago Not a whole lot to add but

Not a whole lot to add but wanted to join the "great article, great player" chorus.

1 year 25 weeks ago That's the funny thing about

That's the funny thing about having so many out of state students.  My east coast friends were more pumped for the Wisconsin game than MSU.  I guess a lot of east coast kids go to either Wisco or Michigan.  

1 year 25 weeks ago Couldn't have said it better

Couldn't have said it better myself.  It's asounding to hear them trash people who went to smaller colleges for being "Walmart Wolverines" and then accuse us of being the arrogant ones.  

I don't give a shit if a MSU fan went to MSU, Harvard, or dropped out of high school.  Their fandom is their decision.  But apparently I need to tote my diploma around if I want to earn the right to root for Michigan.  

1 year 26 weeks ago I love that video too.  I'm

I love that video too.  I'm not sure why people are reacting so negatively.  It's important to remember the bad times so we can appreciate the good.  I'd be down for a video that started with some of the failures of the past decade and then turned to color with a shot of Harbaugh.  

1 year 26 weeks ago I actually got a kick out of

I actually got a kick out of the ref's pants in the wind.  Looked like he was a killer dancer.

1 year 26 weeks ago It is absurd the way Spartan

It is absurd the way Spartan fans act like you have to be an alumnus to be a Michigan fan.  I don't see them checking for Alumni Association cards at Spartan Stadium.  

Then they have the nerve to call us arrogant.  

1 year 26 weeks ago Another reminder of how

Another reminder of how different life is for some people.  Can't imagine what that was like for his family.  Who's got it better than us?

Like the Navy offer too!  

1 year 26 weeks ago That Jeter-Michigan

That Jeter-Michigan connection is going strong.

1 year 26 weeks ago Good thing they didn't

Good thing they didn't stretch too long or use a taped up towel to practice with.  

1 year 26 weeks ago Holy shit...

So far, Ryan Glasgow has collected the most cookies through six games, with Wormley’s best week resulting in three dozen cookies 

 

Don't get me wrong, I love Wormley, but I was thinking guys got like 5 or 6 cookies for a good week.  Mrs. Mattison is putting in work.  

1 year 27 weeks ago Wasn't there an unidentified

Wasn't there an unidentified qb in Bo's Lasting Lessons that everyone assumes is Jeff George?

1 year 27 weeks ago There are worse Dline

There are worse Dline recruiting strageties than simply offering every dlineman Hoke offers.

1 year 27 weeks ago You know, you're right.  I

You know, you're right.  I did laugh at the jokes above but there is nothing wrong with delivering pizzas.  I'm unemployed so I don't know why I thought I had any place to snicker.
