Does this mean they're choosing the slots now? Or are they not yet at that point, but Fox is announcing they're using the first pick on M-Texas? The latter would be wild as that would mean they're passing on The Game (hello frennnnsss....3:30 CBS kick).
I have to drive from PA to Ann Arbor for the home games I attend. I carve some time out of each of those drives up to make sure I have a healthy bowel movement in Ohio. Part of my pre-game ritual.
Just happened to be in Ohio for work on Monday - so made sure to poop on Ohio (twice, even!) for good luck.
So yeah - I'd wear that shirt at my tailgates proudly.
Pretty close to something that the Simpsons did put out there "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man" - the quote on Jebediah Springfield's statue lands awfully close to the Homer quote.
Another perspective on this is how three year cumulative runs add up. On that metric, this three year stretch is as good as any, save maybe the Yost squads, the middle Lloyd period, and early Bo periods.
With last night's win, M is 40-3 over the past three seasons. Compare to:
2002-2004: 29-9
1997-1999: 32-5 (NC & Woodson Heisman)
1989-1991: 29-7 (Howard Heisman)
1976-1978: 30-6
1972-1974: 30-2-1 (Ten Year War)
1971-1973: 31-2-1 (Ten Year War)
1903-1905: 33-1-1
1902-1904: 32-0-1
1901-1903: 33-0-1 (First Rose Bowl)
Nowehere else were we ever at (or next to) 30 wins across three years. 1947 and 1948 yielded 19 wins (no losses) but both '46 and '49 were 6-2-1 years. 1931-1933 were 23-1-2 - they just didn't play many games back then.
Anyway: https://stassen.com/cgi-bin/records/fetch-team.pl?team=Michigan if you want to play with the numbers.
Dewey was a lawyer. I've heard stories that when he'd enter a meeting, people would often hum or whistle "Hail to the Chief" even years after this headline.
Going to break the rules - I miss the downtown (Washington & 4th) location of Metzgers. The food's still great, the family is still awesome, and the tchotchkes are all still there, but the Zeeb Rd. experience just doesn't hit the same as when it was downtown. Still worth the trip out 94.
I've always prefered Ezekiel 23:30: There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses
1) I have a Columbia Interchange coat (zip in/out fleece liner) from 1997 which I still wear to WET winter games.
B) It's not winter yet... a Maize hoody with appropriate / multiple base layers should work in October
iii) For the November game last year against the louts from the south, I wore a thermal T, a quarterzip and a maize fleece hoody on the outside. Never a moment of discomfort.
To be fair - at the time, most chalked it up to "luck of the Irish" running out and turning on them. I don't recall much (that week) about the defense other than they did a yeoman's job.
Same thing for me with the 97 team, but earlier in the season. Vs. ND - 4th Q. Three turnovers leaving ND with no more than 30 yards to go on each possession.
Stonewalled them. Nothing - got the ball back. It was then I knew this defense, and team, were different. And I didn't worry again after that (except against Iowa - Jesus that was scary)
No shit - I was in Hoboken too (2xx Bloomfield St) at my (then) GF / (now) wife's apartment. Popped a bag of popcorn in the microwave, pressed start, then the whole east coast went down.
the schwa is a reduced, neutral vowel sound written as an upside-down and backwards e, ə, in the International Phonetic Alphabet (the universal chart of symbols, representing all the sounds languages make)
As a PSU Grad, lifelong M fan, and Season Ticket Holder at both schools - yes: this is the correct analysis. FWIW, PSU (for all the "unrivaled" crap) would lose their shit if OSU wasn't protected. As would / should we in the interest of competitive balance.
Personally, I'd protect PSU as our third, after OSU and MSU, but know it will wind up being Jug (and that's cool - I like that game).
was an interesting 365 day stretch. Michigan Football played in the Rose Bowl (stadium) three times in that year. 1/2/89 vs USC in the Rose Bowl, September 89 vs UCLA, and 1/1/90 in the Rose Bowl. Won the first two, lost the last (Bo's final coaching appearance).

Where are they in the selection process?
I'm already in camp 2 and Jim's not even out the door.

Yaw yaw yaw, footbaw!!!!
Technically, the Cotton Belt stretches into places most think of as Desert (NM, AZ), but.... yeah, no. Not Dallas.
My late mother was a few years behind at Denby and grew up a block away from the school on Riad.
Appreciate hearing these old Detroit stories - such talent there in the 50s and 60s.
Mandatory Michigan Content - mom used to babysit for Bo.

Brutal.

Lloyd edges Harbs by virtue of 1997... A title soon flops the two.
No Bo is intentional for various reasons.
Yes. Sadly.
Good lord - worth cross-posting to Incel pickup lines. What a hot mess.
Inshallah.

Shank you very much!
What the fuck is this guy talking about?
Ummmm, that is decidedly UNFUN fact, dude.
My man is thinking outside of the coat!
1) I have a Columbia Interchange coat (zip in/out fleece liner) from 1997 which I still wear to WET winter games.
B) It's not winter yet... a Maize hoody with appropriate / multiple base layers should work in October
iii) For the November game last year against the louts from the south, I wore a thermal T, a quarterzip and a maize fleece hoody on the outside. Never a moment of discomfort.
Think outside of the coat.
Can't say for sure, but probably; He and Tripp Welborne (3) blocked so, so many XP and FG tries between 1987 and 1990
Fuck Notre Dame
Met him at a football camp and he was, indeed, a solid dude.
That said, he sprayed the front row as much as Holth could. Impressive spittle.
Where? Is there an address?
To be fair - at the time, most chalked it up to "luck of the Irish" running out and turning on them. I don't recall much (that week) about the defense other than they did a yeoman's job.
They were much more than yeomen as it turned out.
Same thing for me with the 97 team, but earlier in the season. Vs. ND - 4th Q. Three turnovers leaving ND with no more than 30 yards to go on each possession.
Stonewalled them. Nothing - got the ball back. It was then I knew this defense, and team, were different. And I didn't worry again after that (except against Iowa - Jesus that was scary)
Starting 7th grade next week - so no move in. Got some time left with this one.
Fine. Offer the slot to ND. If they balk, bring in Stanford and tighten the jaws further.
No shit - I was in Hoboken too (2xx Bloomfield St) at my (then) GF / (now) wife's apartment. Popped a bag of popcorn in the microwave, pressed start, then the whole east coast went down.
Whoops!
BRO - DO YOU EVEN SCHWA?!?!?!?!
the schwa is a reduced, neutral vowel sound written as an upside-down and backwards e, ə, in the International Phonetic Alphabet (the universal chart of symbols, representing all the sounds languages make)
Child, please.
Did someone say Big Ole?
Whoops - that was his first half.
Finished at 21/152 (7.2) 1TD long of 40. But that final drive was masterful.
Leroy Hoard - 11/25/89 v. OSU 14 for 92 - 6.6 ypc, 1 TD. 16 long.
But it was the most beautiful shove it down their throat football in Bo's last home game.
The old benches were indeed sold - want to say around 1991-92. Probably when they dropped the field down.
Source: The bench in my office that (sadly) I use to keep files on.
The eff you talking about?!?!? You disrespeckting 2011? That was a legit win. Same with 2003.
There - three wins in two decades.... Jeez man.
I don't want to know anything about how you behave in Burger King bathrooms.
Foote was a…
Please yes.
Foote was a great Wolverine and great Steeler. Provided he's got the coaching bona fides, I'm for it.
Yeah - and that would likely produce the same results.
I don't hate it. Throw in a tie-breaker that resists rematches, and I'm for it.
Alas, that would probably just create the same results as the current East West in terms of title game. Does help regular season variety.

Goddamn - these come in threes.... who's next
I remember. They had to pump it up; don't you know? Pump it up!
Shit - I…
The Ravens?
Shit - I don't want to have to root against any of our alum...
Was Bill Fralic. Is now Aaron Donald.
most "normal" years (beginning of time - 2008; 2021 - end of time, please)

I liked it better when they had to cheat to beat us.
That 1988 team was beautiful. McMurtry, Calloway, Boles, Hoard, Bunch, McGee.... that O line.
And the D was bonkers too. Stupid losses to ND and Miami (1 and 2 teams that year). Fantastic Rose Bowl though.
