Maybe Putin will buy him some sushi

Did the softball team get rid of one of their best players for almost nothing?

Spilly no!

Ultimatums are almost always stupid because you are saying that you are going to ignore all context and Process(tm) and focus only on the results.  It was especially dumb in this case.  In the NBA, you either want to be really good or really bad.  sneaking in the playoffs as a 8 seed isn't going to do any good.  

is it closed for good?

Doesn't the practice facility have leather massage chairs?

I agree wholeheartedly.  ESPN and their ilk build these folks up so much and folks take out their frustration on the individuals, not the talking heads.  

I liked the last season of Battlestar Galactca.

So say we all.

As someone who still thinks firing RR was wrong, I completely agree.

The sports I enjoy watching are superior to the sports you enjoy watching.  

I like Herbie but he feeds the trolls too often.  As does Desmond for that matter

Penalties

SWIDGIN

Comment of the year.  

but your "out Wisconsin Wisconsin" line made me imagine a Wisconsin vs. Wisconsin game.  I want to die now.  

Unless there is a teeny tiny left guard that I'm not seeing or an invisble left tackle there are only ten men on the field for Michigan.  

It moved

God forbid we talk about an interesting, obscure part of football.  Let's show everybody how snarky we can be!

Seems to me that there are some blurred lines in the recruiting biz

someday comes back

Thanks for this Ace.  If I wasn't at work I'd probably have leaked a tear or two.

Special player, special person.  

I'd be curious to know what Eve reacted when you told her out of the blue that we use her picture whenever Michigan has a particularlly devasting thing happen.  

MAC teams

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Anyone who says there's going to be a continuation of this rivalry in the near future isn't looking at the football schedules."

There's got to be a less antagonsitic way to put that Dave. 

Out of the pistol

Brady Hoke needs to do whatever it takes to recruit Raekwon

You cannot say the word retarded if you are using it as a synonym for stupid or frustrating.

You're welcome.  

Funny how someone running a professional, for profit team has a better understanding of how to treat fans than the guy running the ameteur, public school based team.  

MLB has been making this up as they go.  

but I'm curious how the rank and file Tiger fans will react to an all glove light hitting SS.  Maybe Jhonny's range won't look so bad when Iglesias is hitting 240 with no power and no walks.  

You've never had KBS? 

You need to fix that.  

Ask your beer store if they have a presale and get on the list.  Thats the best way to get some.  It gets pretty crazy in West Michigan on KBS release day.  

Don't know why some people are getting so up in arms about this.  There is literally no risk for the Tigers.  If he finds that wicked slider he could be a huge asset.  If he doens't pitch well, they can cut him and move on.  

I think I took a car 3 or 4 times total during my four years.

Also, not sure what the deal is with skeeps.  I started going to bar s when I was a sophmore and never went there.  Never sounded like a cool place.  

Too bad for him.  Can't imagine how frustrating that must be.He's probably worked his tail off to stay in shape and come back, and all for naught.  Hopefully he lands on his feet.

Well he is an alumnus, so he might take an interest.  

I wish I could tackle like a deer

Well how far back can you actually remember?  You may be suffering from this as well.  

What is keeping Michigan from having an elite track program?  The weather?  Facilities?  Something else?

I may be showing my ignorance here, but I'm really curious.  I'd love to see more Wolverines in the Olypmics to go along with the swimmers.  

Randy Moss don't give a fuck.  He's just here for a free trip to NYC

They never should have let Ugeth Urbina out of jail

I absolutely love this!

Make sure you don't forget Gus Ferrotte

Adorable 

Why has the lamestream media been so silent on the issue of whether or not Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU?

Who are the other guys who signed the shoe?  

I almost let a tear or two drop after Don's Hershey's pitch

You should be safe with the number 2 jersey.  

Also, from the pilot- "Carmela, my mother is here".  Nothing special on its own but he delivered the hell out of that line.  Cracks me up every time.

He was very good in The Man who wasn't There as well.  

The card says Moops

Gotta get that Maryland football pipeline going.  :-)

That's nothing.  I got a 100,000 on my SAT and 8's on all my AP tests

No, they had a positive test.

I"m rooting for Juwan!

Wrong is wrong, no matter what the era.  Espcially when it comes to things like slavery and the bounties you described above.

On the other hand, it doesn't mean that we can't respect the accomplishments of folks like Cornwallis, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.  I don't need my heroes to be perfect.  

To quote Stannis Baratheon " A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good"

So he would be the son of Hamlet and Ophelia?  

This guy is going to have some serious issues.  

Booing your fellow students is never acceptable.  I spoke with one of the players from that team a year or two ago and he was very hurt by it.  

I am a little girl for Mike Barwis.

And Brock of course.  Can't believe the progress he has made

if they hired Larry Brown again

I need to start using the phrase "keep it 100" more often

The President misued begging the question the other day.  I think this is a lost cause, though I agree with you.

Is locking recruits in a barn a NCAA violation?  Craig James wants to know

MSU picks up a 3 star- "LOL MSU sucks"

Michigan picks up a three star-"Who cares about ratings Mike Hart was a three star!"

Jim Price had to break out the Yellahammer to describe Fister's curve tonight

Dude, theres a narrative going on here and you are fing it up

I'll worry about the officating later, right now....

SUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I <3 you Denard

I remember McGary had another thunderpick earlier in the game, anyone know when it was?

Also, anyone remember that looong overhand pass from Darius to Morgan a few years ago? Thought about it watching Spike thread the needle

Seriously what is going on there?  I don't understand basketball ref's hand signals

BUT I HAD HAND!!

I just looked at a website called wikipedia.org which says that Trey Burke is from Columbus!  Is there a narrative we can construct out of this?

I see what you did there and it makes me so angry.

Jerry Hanlon spoke at Bacon's class a few years ago and said that recruiting was tough because he would get so upset when someone you recruited went to another school.  Its not uncommon to get emotionally invested in recruiting.  

Thank you Fielding Yost!

Bang them shits with a spiked fucking bat

Might as well quit playing now.  There's nothing left to achieve.  

Interesting that umhoops was down at the same time.  

"A full 94 percent of the schools approved the change."

 

I'm really hoping that the other 6% were just schools who didn't get around to voting

Stauskas is getting a little wild driving to the hoop.  

I don't know about the rest of you but I did not enjoy watching that game at all.  Terrible opponent and Michigan wasn't clicking as well I would expect.

How big of an adjustment is required moving from HS to college SB?  Do freshmen regularly step in and contribute immediately? 

"particularly tricky articulative obstacle"

Indeed.  

Great post, wish I could have seen it.  

I want them to change it back to the Western Conference.  It's not like any of the names make sense anymore

Who is Purdue?

Love this one.  Works perfectly

She came in and spoke to Bacon's class once.  Very inspiring woman.

When will Craig James finally admit that he allegedly killed five hookers while at SMU?

#rememberthefive

This

LOL at the ref giving THE THREAT the business for jawing at the db after his first catch

I could not possibly disagree more with this.  Barry lacked heart?  Where is your evidence for this?  He lacked leadership?  You don't have to be a rah rah screamer to be a leader.  See Stu Douglass.  Toughness?  

Yeah, the way he retired was odd, and he should have given the Lions more notice, but all in all he is defintely a Michigan sports legend.

We can agree on Hailing Verlander though.

Radio feed anyone? I want to listen to Dan and Jim

do not match the captions.  At least for me

How awesome is it that she wears his M ring on gamedays?   

Since when do nick names have to make perfect sense?  Just because Michigan doesn't have Wolverines doesn't mean it can't be the Wolverine state.

ain't feeling it

True, but it doesn't get played to death at every sporting event

Bruce Springsteen, Wu Tang Clan, CCR, James Taylor, Trans Siberian Orchestra, classical, jazz.  I can get down with Irish folk music too. 

I don't really mind it during time outs and such, but this was between every point.

Anyone have any idea why Cabby's walks have been so far down this year?  108 last year, only 48 this year.  He is going to be down considerably.

that ARod was a Michigan fan.  Where did you hear that?
