Per that article, any commercial breaks that aren't scheduled ones are only commercials that result from something on the field (replay, injury, etc) and they do not hold the play on the field any longer for the commercial break - that is, they'll only be those quick commercial breaks where there isn't a red hat guy on the field holding up play resuming.
So for TD commercial kickoff commercial, it's probably that they weren't able to fit in a commercial break earlier in the quarter and so are trying to cram in multiple of the three or four breaks per quarter they are required to fit in.
The threat of extrajudicial punishment MAY be compelling to get a person who has already been captured for a crime to be willing to comply with the investigation. Evidence does not support it (or increased punishment for crimes) being particularly effective at actually stopping or reducing crime. Furthermore, the way our justice system is set up (focused on punishment and not rehabilitation) results in extremely high rates of reoffenders - so it actually makes things worse.
There's a difference between extrajudicial punishment in the situation where someone got away with a crime and where someone was caught and is being punished for a crime.
I also don't think that punishment for the sake of revenge is good or useful. Punishment for a crime should be focused on protecting the public, rehabilitation of the criminal, and restoration to the victims where possible.
Causing suffering to someone that doesn't actually benefit anything, even to someone who has done horrific things, is not a good thing and is just people being vindictive.
I do not remember that. Looking around through game recaps of close losses Michigan had during Graham Brown's time, the closest I came across was this:
The Wolverines (8-2) had a chance to win the game with 2.0 seconds left, but sophomore Graham Brown's (Mio, Mich./Mio-AuSable HS) length-of-the-floor pass was intercepted by the defense and the clock ran out.
This should be locked because it's not going to end well.
That said, it's worth noting that Lia was literally just beat by another trans swimmer, but this time a trans man who has yet to go on T... so biologically he has no arguable advantages that people argue trans women do. This sorta undermines the whole argument against Lia competing in women's swimming, if she lost to a trans man who isn't on T yet.
Ok, let's make this simple: True or false, one specific candidate has been repeatedly asked if he would commit to a peaceful transition of power, and he has repeatedly refused to say that he would.
Like 0.25 percent of people are not wearing a mask indoor places in Michigan? Maybe if you're limiting it to things like grocery stores and restaurants, sure. But not if you're looking at people working in small businesses or any number of other things. Most of the people I know who work at companies under 50 people in Michigan who are working in their offices say that virtually no one in their office wears a mask unless their boss explicitly makes them. And I've been to a couple of restaurants to pick up food where the workers only put on the mask when they are face to face with customers and pull down their masks the rest of the time when they're interacting with their coworkers and even when they're making the food. And that's not even touching on how many people I've seen wearing masks wrong where they aren't covering their nose.
Only looking at O-line holding and not counting special teams holding, here is how many holding penalties each team got against OSU (based on the ESPN play-by-play data - it is possible I missed one or two).
Nebraska: 2
Maryland: 0
Rutgers: 0
UNLV: 1 (which was declined)
Army: 1
Oklahoma: 0
Indiana: 0
Total: 4
For comparison, here are the numbers for Minnesota:
Buffalo: 1 (hilarious side note - Minnesota had 3 holding calls against them in this game, and they were all on a single drive)
Oregon State: 1
Middle Tennessee: 2
Maryland: 0
Purdue: 2
MSU: 1
Illinois: 2
Total: 8
And for Purdue:
Louisville: 0
Ohio (Not that Ohio): 0
Mizzou: 1
Michigan: 1
Minnesota: 0
Wisconsin: 1
Rutgers: 1
Total: 4
And finally, Michigan's numbers (this time, both for and against numbers):
Florida: 2, 0 against M
Cincy: 0, 1 against M
Air Force: 1, 2 against M
Purdue: 0, 1 against M
MSU: 2 (both were declined), 2 against M
Indiana: 0, 1 against M
Penn State: 0, 1 against M
Total: 5 (2 declined), 8 against M
So Purdue's defense has drawn as many holding penalties as OSU's. And Minnesota's defense has drawn almost as many holding penalties and Michigan AND OSU's defenses combined.
My takeaway: Refs are full of shit and either have no clue what they are doing, are actively (possibly subconsciously) malicious, or RNGesus hates us.
It's worth noting that "second to last in opponent penalities" means "M's opponents have had the second LEAST amount of penalties against M".
Just for full information, here's the net average penalty yardage for each team in the B1G this year (i.e. avg/game Yards penalized - avg/game yards opponent penalized): https://i.imgur.com/MjnOf1a.png
Michigan comes in last. Consolation prize: OSU is second to last, and it's quite close.
You would need to run a physical cable from the pc to the other room. Depending on the distance, that could definitely be doable - you might need to look into the setups that other people have done.
I picked up a Vive on black Friday, and I love it. Pricey for sure, but if you have a system that can handle it - it's amazing. TiltBrush is mindblowing.
Also, VR porn is totally a thing.
What was with the question asked multiple times about if they thought they would have to go score for score with OSU to win when they were down 21-10? If you're trailing in a game, you basically have to go score for score or better to have a chance to win. That's a "the key to the game is scoring more points than the opponent" level of pointless statement.
It's basically a modern version of the Electric Slide, the Cupid Shuffle, the Cha Cha Slide, or the Macarena. It's not meant to be a song you just listen to for the musical quality, but to get you to do a specific dance. Or that's my guess, anyway.
There are number of people in the US who play eSports professionally, especially in League of Legends, dota, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. They play for teams, have contracts with salaries (probably ~40-50k), make additional money from prize pools in tournaments (top CS:GO tournaments have a prize pool of $250k, LoL and dota have prize pools in the millions), and then more money from streaming on twitch (top ones for CS:GO make probably $5k per month or more from that, top LoL and dota likely make more).
You're actually technically incorrect (the best kind of incorrect!). If beating a specific team has a negative value, it could absolutely be the case that Beat Crean > Beat Everyone.
For example -- imagine that your second favorite B1G team is Norwestern (as it probably should be). In that case, beating everyone would include beating Michigan. That clearly has a negative value from the point of view of a Michigan fan. In that case, I think it would be safe to say that (Northwestern) beating Crean > (Northwestern) beating everyone.
Whenever they say "we just need to execute better" that is (intentionally or not) throwing the players under the bus. At some point the coaching staff has to realize that maybe they're asking the kids to do something that they can't consistently do, and then that's entirely on the coaching staff for consistently putting the kids not in a position to succeed.
Also, on Inside Michigan Football, Hoke defended 8 runs to 6 passes in the overtime periods as not being conservative.

I think they should rename it the "Big-ass Conference".

Unfortunately, that game didn't work out the way we would have liked. But that very last line of the post still comes to mind regularly for me:

Agreed - some people even have the ability to get offended by teams changing their names away from offensive stereotypes like "Redskins"!

Not even a mention of Gruden?
Unless I misread something while I was looking through the data, there were no holding calls against Indiana in the IU-OSU game.

You only read one part of the chart wrong. Michigan has the second most penalties, and Michigan's opponents have the second least.
It definitely has been applied to video games. Top teams in various games sell jerseys with players names on them.

People go to arenas and cheer loudly for their team. People wait in big lines and storm the stage to try to get autographs from the top players.
What is it missing in the social aspect?

30 runningback carries for 28 yards. That's either conservative, or moronic.
8 of those carries were in the overtime periods. That's conservative.
Banking on your kicker to hit a clutch field goal (even if you expect him to) rather than trying to score a touchdown is conservative.
"Centering" the ball on a third down for a 40 yard field is conservative.
Let's break it down by OT:
1st OT: RB run for 1 yard, RB run for 1 yard, QB centers the ball. FG blocked.
2nd OT: RB run for 3 yards, pass for 9 yards, QB run for -3 yards, incomplete pass, QB run for 8 yards, FG
3rd OT: RB run for 0 yards, pass for 9 yards, RB run for 0 yards, FG missed.
4th OT: Pass incomplete, pass incomplete, delay of game, QB run for 7 yards, FG.
So a total of 5 RB runs for 5 yards, 4 QB runs for 12 yards, 5 passes for 18 yards.
So either conservative, or moronic.
