is obvious.

I actually was fortunate enough to row with both Tom, and his pair partner, Silas, at different times in my career.  

They're both great guys, and deserve everything they get.  Best of luck to them this summer - I'll be rooting hard.  

Go Blue, Go Card, Go U.S.

With Devin's back already seriously injured, we can't risk him playing.

We also wouldn't want to risk him losing his (ahem) medical redshirt.  But that's insifignificant compared to our concern for Devin's health.  His back is very, very, injured.

But Tate (or anyone else, Avery?) can have as much back-up time as they want.

Rich Rod can fit 10,000 words into a 1,000 word picture.

Who gets everything wrong.  Just today, Bethlehem Shoals of Free Darko fisked him for his comments on John Wall.

Good read, except thinking about Cowherd's asshattery gets me furious.

They added an interesting and competitive team to their schedule.  That's a good thing.

I don't know why everybody wants to hate on State for this, especially while D'Antonio is currently demonstrating his patented "Zero Tolerance Policy" as a means of effectively molding young men into upstanding individuals.

I'm all for hating on State.  But for scheduling Boise State?  Relax people.

I feel like people claiming "first" happened a ton during the old Haloscan days.  This was when I just lurked, and long before I ever registered.

Back when people besides "The Knowledge" got handle-jacked.

Oh, the good ole days.  Sigh.

and good looking too!

Your name suits you.

Denard's first pass to Stonum in the UConn game scared the bejeezus out of me.  A half second later and it was a pick six. 

But otherwise, I generally agree with you.

or did you just mean this years defense?

I just thought that I'd let the OP know that this poll is from last week.  Glad I could be the first one.

I suppose I could envision a scenario where Michigan beats UConn 55-34 and wins big.  I'm not saying it will happen, but I could envision it.

However, I CANNOT envision a single scenario where our defense holds UConn to 6 points.  Not a single one.

I am going to assume this writer is a fool.

But the actual chart at the top of the post does not list Adam Patterson at all.  Instead, the 3 deep at Nose Tackle lists Mike Martin, Will Campbell, and Richard Ash.

That's all I was saying.

I think he's summarizing the pain of the past more than anything.  Where the last three years have left him.

He's not writing off the season, or Rich Rod.

As I read it (and interpret everything through my own biases), I see it as a lot of pain, and lowered expectation that anything good might happen.

But that will make all the victories (literal, metaphorical, tiny, whatever) all the sweeter.

And yes, I'm a little distraught that he doesn't think Rich Rod will make it.  My feeble brain refuses to comprehend such a possibility.

Go Blue.  Please win this week.

means that Brian is not going to share his own thoughts on the scrimmage?

Sad face.

I hope this is just a weird angle.

This is my favorite pump-up video yet.

But would you keep him off the field so that his four years are improved by the redshirt year?

I mean obviously a lot depends on Tate/Denard.  If they are terrible, Devin will play; if they are incredible, no need to burn the redshirt.

But still, just because a guy is great, that doesn't mean you don't redshirt.  Especially a qb who can always use some extra polish.

 I think we are all forgetting with our lack of depth the last couple of years that the standard for most teams is to redshirt freshmen - especially qbs and offensive linemen.

"He doesn't seem like a split second kind of guy"

Bam, FACE!

I don't know anything about the situation, and many things probably played into it.

But isn't it possible that he is transferring because somebody else has already stepped up?

I believe that was Chollis' point.

I think it's kind of awesome that each helmet is slightly different. 

I even seem to remember a couple of guys whose helmets seemed noticeably different, but that's probably just in my head...

It really had nothing to do with your comment. 

It was in reference to a joke that is only funny because of how bad it is.  The punch line of the joke is an asian man jumping out and yelling "supplies!" when he means "surprise!".

Despite how bad the joke is, the punchline has always cracked me up for some reason.  When ever I hear the word surprise, I usually have to suppress an urge to reply with jazz hands and "supplies!".

Sorry for the thread-jack.

My chickenbroccolibake lives on in my heart exactly as it did in the South Quad Kitchens from 2002-2006.

My attempts to make it myself just didn't have the same greasy goodness (and I even had the recipe sent to me by the SQuad dining hall manager).

This may surprise some of you, but I agree.

I loved that stuff so much that the woman who used to run South Quad would send me an email for the days when it wasn't on the menu, but they were going to throw in a single pan.

She also gave me the recipe.

I made it, but it wasn't nearly as good as at SQuad.  I think because I didn't put in 2 lbs. of butter.

Don't need divisions, as they play more than 11 games a season.  They can just play everybody. 

I've kind of assumed that these divisions would only apply to football.

Thing the first, I really hope there is no legal motivation for not firing these guys.  Ie, somehow canning these guys [who should be canned] would somehow imply a "wilful failure to monitor" or whatever.

Thing the second, while compliance may have been "machine-like in its precision", they really failed at raising hell.  If you send an email for something you need to receive, and it doesn't come, you need to get up in that person's face.  If they are still turds, you need to raise hell with their boss, and so on and so on.  You can't keep sending emails into the void.  You've gotta get all Walter Sobchek on the mess.

I go, you go, we all go Mgo

Did you mean "sausage" in the photo caption? Or am I missing a whole new world of porn?

Weapon of Choice - large IPA or Belgian Tripel

The Lloyd - full-flavored Red Rye (I don't know why, but when I think Lloyd I think rye - rye beer, rye whiskey, even rye bread).

Chris Perry Carry - a smooth lager that finishes strong. A beer that you could call on an excessive number of times during the Michigan State game to carry you through.

that you picked up the reference. Scary awesome. Plus lots to you, sir.
