Except

Oakland County doesn't own the Palace or the land. Gores tried to sell the Palace to Oakland county this past summer and they declined.

Sorry...

I thought this was the comments sections.

My point is still stands, the roast isn't getting up to room temp, but you are right in that the surface will dry out for a better crust.

Why are you dismissive of Kenji's work as opinion? He uses a scientific method to test out theories and conventional wisdom. He's not writing what he thinks is the best way, he tests it against other methods and verifies.

If searing seals in the juices, then why do you get similar results post vs pre sear?

Room Temperature

My main point is that there is no need to let a piece of meat sit out at room temperature. 

It's bad conventional wisdom that's been passed down as fact and can easily be proven wrong. For a site this mocks conventional wisdom (punting on short yardage 4th downs on your opponent's side of field), this seemed appropriate.

And while I'm at it:

  • Searing doesn't seal in juices
  • Flip your meat as many times as you want
  • Bones don't add flavor (but aide in cooking)

Room Temperature

A 4.5lb roast is not going to go from fridge temp to room temp in 1 hour.

J. Kenji Alt-Lopez proved this with a 7.5 ounce steak. After almost 2 hours at room temp, it had only risen to 50F. Not only can you not raise the meat to room temp in a reasonable time, there is no discernible difference between cooking meat that was out of the fridge for 2 hours vs straight from the fridge.

For a really great crust, heavily salt the roast and put in the fridge uncovered for about 4 days. This is going dry out the outer layer for a good sear and let the salt penetrate for flavor.

What was the "it" that he is sticking?

How is Dantonio being a dick? He's sick of talking about Michigan and OSU. Michigan IS selling hope, because recruits aren't buying success that happened when they were in first grade.

Can we stop calling them Ohio now?

The old regime is gone and that was their thing.

Yeah, he did.

I wasn't there myself, but was told this story when he was first hired by Michigan.

"I don't read blogs"

That sounds like something he would say.

When Brandon was the CEO of Valassis in the 90's he said the the internet was just a fad.

No.

No.

Video highlights of other games

They showed video highlights of other games on the scoreboard, such as Navy scoring against OSU.

I wasn't impressed with the halftime show. Blatant product placement from Buffalo Wild Wings. Show much for no adds in the stadium. #marketing

So...

... Baby annoucements are now exempt from the University's branding standards?  What's next? Football uniforms?

The city doesn't have much leverage

"The issue is a persistent point of frustration on the city council, because traffic control for football games is a dollar cost to the city, but the city has limited leverage with the university to extract payment. That’s due in part to the fact that traffic control is seen not as merely a matter of convenience, but rather of public safety."

The main point I wanted to

The main point I wanted to make is the use of yellow and navy as the description of the item, when our colors are maize and blue. Maybe they should change the lyrics of Varsity to "March on to victory for Michigan, And the Neon Yellow and Navy Blue".

I completely disagree about highlighter yellow, it's garish. And no, I'm "generally older".

 

Since when are our colors Yellow and Navy?

Why is it that the official retailer of Michigan markets and sells t-shirts labeled as "Yellow and Navy".  It's bad enough that adidas can't produce anything in the color maize, they can at least label it as such.

This is the of maize that the athletic deparment should be using as stated in the University's style guide, which while is targeted for printing, a similar hue should be used for unversity licensed products. Here's some research on the history of the Michigan maize.

Compare this to the dayglo colors that adidas uses. Brandon's response to this is of course that the bright colors appeal to the kids.  If that's the case, I have some Ocean Pacific t-shirts from the 80's they can buy.  And get off my lawn.

The actual contract

http://download.gannett.edgesuite.net/detnews/2011/pdf/0330hoke.pdf

What I don't see in the contract is the amount Hoke with pay if he voluntarily breaks the contract. Also, no extra money for a BCS game or National Championship.

Jokes about him never leaving on his own may commence. 

He's Buckeye Bob

In what sport?

Foosball? Floor Hockey? Beer Pong?

Here's the link to project's page

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/imaginationstation/detroit-needs-a-statue-of-robocop

I don't think these guys know what they're getting when it comes to the actual production of the statue.

 

We can take a relatively small figure of RoboCop (conceivably even an action figure), have it 3D scanned by lasers (cool!) and scale its form to create a light-weight model of any size we'd like, which can then be used to pour and cast liquid metal.

 

Really?  You're going take a small 4" action figure, scan it and blow it up 7 feet tall. Someones been watching too much CSI.

It'll look something like this:

 

 

Yep

He says about Miami...

"There is so much positive energy around this program and I really want to be apart of it"

Which must be unlike the negative energy you perceive when you don't go to class or complete your assignments.

The site should be taken offline

until the problem is fixed. There is some JavaScript, maybe from an ad, that is adding and iframe at the top of the body tag.

Bad Idea

Why would you take the greatest looking helmet in all of football, with a great history, and attach tchotchkes to it? We're better than that. It was a tradition who's time has passed.

Brian's secret athletic department contract

requires that he sell the blog.

Meme comprehension fail

Meme comprehension fail

Helmet stickers

Does he reward individual achievements or does he promote team play and keep the best looking helmet in football looking clean.
