But at this point the last game ( B1G  championship ) will be another blow out vs MSU

If it didn't happen he…

If it didn't happen he should say something along the lines of " she is a wonderful person whose company I enjoyed but there was nothing more than that" that would be the adult way of responding. Otherwise " we dated briefly but mutually decided we were not right for a long term relationship ". How about that ? See what you can do if you are not angry and posting before you think ?

And in a time the French…

And in a time the French knew something other than retreat. Kind of like Beilein days vs our team today. The French certainly  had the players at the beginning of WW1 and WW2 but their coach knew how to snatch defeat from the arms of victory . We do not even have the players .

Massey still has us favored…

Massey still has us favored over NW on the last game of the year ( excluding the B 10 championship disaster in waiting ) . I think they forgot to update that prediction by at least 2 weeks . Should be another 20 % W prediction rather than a 3 pt favorite with a 57% win prediction .

On the overall composite we range from #92 to #168 

A steady diet of UM, OSU,…

A steady diet of UM, OSU, PSU, Ore, Wash, UCLA, USC, and even Whisky and Iowa would also be fatal to a team that gets along by saying they are great and not having to back it up .

Sabin had already failed in the NFL by the time he started Alabama.  The rest of those coaches just do not have the NFL experience that Harbaugh does and probably would not win a Super Bowl anyways

However that person would…

However that person would have to have the board of Regents to back him up.  If the regents  will not deal in NIL what difference does it make?

I love the "living in a trailer park off of 8 mile "of course I have not lived in Michigan now for 40 years so I do not know how many trailer parks are off of 8 mile now.  At 1 point I would probably have known.

Could not agree more. Must…

Could not agree more. Must be nice to know an owner who will hand you a super bowl ready team you have to try REALLY  hard to f#%$ up , but he did try

Man I love that ! Where do i…

Man I love that ! Where do i get me one ?

Yes I am with this 100%.  I…

Yes I am with this 100%.  I am so glad he did not announce this before we played him or the referees would find some way of getting Alabama to win in order to give him another shot at a championship.  Maybe he will run for Senator from Alabama like Tom Osborne did at Nebraska

But on the other hand…

But on the other hand remembering 1997 with Tom Osborne retiring and having to split the national title with him because of that I could just see everybody wanting to send out Satan with another National title and the referees knowingly or unknowingly making it happen.  We could be sitting here bitching about how the referees stole the game from us to make another championship possible for Satan

 

 

Red Wings ! Want to trade…

Red Wings ! Want to trade for  the Sharks ? The only good thing about living in the East Bay is we gave our bottom dweller sports teams to Las Vegas. Having no pro teams is better than subsidizing losing teams with shithead owners with taxpayer money. Maybe Las Vegas can throw a lot of public money at those black holes and make a go of it . They will still have to deal with the owners who will immediately scam them for more or in the case of the Davis family sue them endlessly if they fail.

But he did miss a game winning kick which was a bit of a chip shot out here for SF 49rs . I cringed when I saw that one . That one was a clutch kick and I clearly expected him to make it

Me too. I was a freshman as well .Just remember what a relief the 2nd half.

I moved to the Bay area in…

I moved to the Bay area in 1983.  Met my wife here.  Remember  that we were walking on the beach at Point Reyes and the sign said "swim at your own risk-there are drownings here every year ".  Now being from Michigan and knowing that this sign appears on a lot of Beaches where there are never any waves, and having a couple glasses of nice Cabernet, I went swimming.  My wife, girlfriend at the time, was walking down the beach chasing me as I tried to swim ashore.  I was swimming to prove that this sign did not apply to me..  It took me about 10 or 15 minutes to swim about 20 feet and get to the point where I could stand up and walk in.  I never tried swimming on the Pacific since.  I go swimming in San Francisco Bay regularly.  Never in the ocean.Likewise there are lots of roads here with sheardrop-offs and have no guard rails.  Lots of things out here you have to pay attention to and take seriously.

FFFFF no. Not FSU. They make Sparty look good ! They have shitty academics and their athletes are far more criminal than state

Not only for sports but for…

Not only for sports but for academics. A great underrated Medical School and University. While we are at it Stanford too so NW can no longer claim the academic honors of the B1G . Cal sports suck , but they are the only state University consistently ranked above UM

Born in Flint, 8 years at…

Born in Flint, 8 years at the U , and I went to the SF Bay Area and have not looked back in 40 years. Definitely problems here on the left coast but almost nobody leaves here because they WANT to , they leave because they cannot afford it. Too many people want to live in too little area. No flat fields for miles to build on ( except the Central Valley ) only coast and valleys are inhabitable. Any good place for a city already taken . 

As for dependent on cheap immigrant labor the entire country is. Prison overcrowding ? Also the entire nation. Gang problems ? I'll take Oakland over Detroit any day of the year. Back patting ? and self delusion I am probably guilty of to some extent.

I have a 1991 MR2 turbo and I do not think the clutch is heavy at all. Had a 1999 Boxster. Now that was a heavy clutch. My brother owns it now along with my other brothers 5 sp BMW. I still have the MR2 and a 1970 240 z with the add on 5 sp. Easiest clutch I had was a 1993 Saturn coupe with the 1.6 DOHC engine. Also owned a 1978 Honda Accord 5 sp  and a few others I do not remember. The daily driver is a Tesla 3 long range. Hard to go back to any ICE after the point and shoot drive of that one .

I see Henley's take as an older man wishing for his youth again and knowing it will never happen, the Ataris is a less subtle " I'm gonna get her back " song. I like the former better

I OTH could only see an occasional spot of blue among the sea of red on the screen. I thought perhaps no UM fans were allowed in the stadium and those had shamelessly put OSU garb over their UM togs to sneak past security

The game is in Colonbowel. That means we have to beat the officials first, then we can think about OSU, I do not think we are that good but we are much better than during the drought. I do not see them hanging 50 on us.

I am surprised OSU is so high but maybe they only hire their graduates so students think they are getting an education

I lived in SF for  about 5 years before having to move to Sacramento for a job. My biggest rush in life was being able to move back to the Bay Area. After living in the burbs for about 10 years I came to the conclusion I was too far out to move back but I'm glad for the  years there and my ability to still live in the area, which was already hopelessly expensive when I moved out here almost 40 years ago. Move to a place you want to live because that's where you are going to be stuck.

Yes, NW is just a football…

Yes, NW is just a football team with a college attached. Now Clemson, there's an academic powerhouse !

I take it you are a fan and…

I take it you are a fan and not an alumni ( I say this in as non condescending manner as I can ) UM is a world class university with excellent sports and not a world class sports organization attached to a University ( see also Alabama) . The academic integrity of the University is always the first goal of the president of UM. Sports is second but a considerable ways down from that. Schissel seeming to care little about sports is not an issue. He has an AD for that.

Really ? Maybe not in sports, I'll agree but what other paper would be better ? WSJ truly has some tunnel vision.

I would not go that far…

I would not go that far. Closing the recruiting gap with the top 5 will take many years. We had one 5 star out of 28 in 2021. All but 10 went to the big 5. The others for the most part stayed in state , even if the team was trash ( talking to you Texas, Miami, and USC) 

I am an MD and the deniers…

I am an MD and the deniers continue to accuse us of overstating covid deaths. We do NOT get paid more for a Covid dx. We do NOT put cause of death as covid just because patients test positive, though if patients test positive they are far more likely to die than those who do not. If anything covid deaths are under reported since the general death rate has greatly increased in the covid era. The "excess death " number in 2020 has been calculated in detail. January 2020 to Feb 2021 there were 550-660k excess deaths over the average deaths of the 6 previous years.The only thing that changed was Covid. Go ahead , don't get vaccinated. Put out demonstrably false information and stop others from getting their vaccines. I will still do everything I can to save your life.

There's a far more technical analysis on RCMB. /s ( OK maybe not. )
