5 weeks 3 days ago	Yeah	This is the only site that gives me this annoying pop up. I have stopped using my mobile device to visit the site.
11 weeks 1 day ago	Event Horizon	Event Horizon was definitely the most disturbing film I have ever seen. I actually had trouble sleeping for months.
12 weeks 3 days ago	Wow	She nailed it. Well-written piece. Simon's days there are numbered. And pieces like this are making that number much smaller.
19 weeks 4 days ago	Haha	I had to log in just to upvote that!
21 weeks 4 days ago	I will NOT...	...rub it into my OSU friend's face. I will be the bigger man, and enjoy a tasty, tasty victory. Also, I will have him and his family over, and slowly sip scotch from my Bo Schembachler rocks glass while making uncomfortable and meaningful eye contact.
23 weeks 5 days ago	...	Noooooobody!
24 weeks 5 days ago	Nope	Interesting points, but I would MUCH rather face Rutgers than Purdue, Florida, Indiana, or Air Force. Other than a freak win against Purdue, who has Rutgers beaten? A terrible Illinois team?  Florida is imploding, and a different team than in game 1.  Purdue has played everyone tough, nearly beating Louisville. Rutgers would not have been in that game.  IMO, Indiana is the most underrated team in the B1G. They have a legitimate defense that keeps them in every game. Air Force is a mediocre triple option team that no one wants to face. While Rutgers is definitely improving, I still would only rank them above Cincy on our schedule thus far.
25 weeks 2 days ago	Good grief	Rutgers is definitely improving, and our passing game is a mess. But man, it sure would be nice to leave the rolaids in the cupboard for at least one Saturday. I feel like we are due for a good 3+ TD victory.
25 weeks 5 days ago	No	They broke up when she was only about one month pregnant. Most women do not even know they are pregnant at one month. She didn't announce the pregnancy until three months. Based on those facts (which are coming from Moynihan), it is pretty close to 100% he did not know she was pregnant.
26 weeks 2 days ago	It's a game against East Lansing	so yeah.
26 weeks 2 days ago	OR...	you could just play GUTS.
27 weeks 3 days ago	There's always next year	When we lose to Sparty, the thing that helps me cope the best is to delude myself into thinking that next year we'll really throttle them. And hey, if we can get a decent QB starting, maybe '18 will be the start of a new era for the rivalry.
28 weeks 2 days ago	Perhaps I am the only one...	...but "Opponent Watch" is always my favorite series. I just about spit out my coffee several times. God bless you, BiSB.
28 weeks 3 days ago	"I'm all over him?"	I just... I don't know what that means. That being said, living and working in Maryland territory, I have to agree with the locals: he is doing a great job thus far. Future Michigan coach? I'm not even close to saying that yet. But he is showing us something. Maryland will get murderated this weekend, but given what he's working with, the results thus far have been impressive.
28 weeks 4 days ago	Nice work	"My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give for this film room work." I enjoyed this. Good content.
28 weeks 4 days ago	Yes!	I have a six-pack of KBC pumpkin ale ready for Saturday night!
29 weeks 3 days ago	Great stuff!	Love this feature. And what a great collection of clips this game produced! That being said, I can't believe the "Winovich Wiggle" was the "frames of the game." Mo Murders, Jet Sweep Guy, Human Obliteration, and my personal favorite, "RIP Elijah Sindelar" all made for a tough poll vote!
30 weeks 5 days ago	This ^	The guy sucked at being the Michigan AD. But c'mon. Most of us would. It wasn't for lack of loving Michigan. It's been a few years, let's put the knives away.
30 weeks 5 days ago	Hesitantly pulling for ND	Like the rest of you, I wish they could both lose. They are both one of our fiercest rivals. However, if I'm being honest, I think of MSU as more of a rival lately than ND. I know, I know... there is so much better history between UofM and ND, but I feel like MSU fans have gotten far more annoying, and most of us have to interact with them more the ND fans. So I'd much rather Sparty lose than the golden domers.
31 weeks 5 days ago	True	There's some hyperbole here, but I agree with half of the general sentiment: the B10 EAST does look deeper this year. Rutgers is a tasty treat, but every other team looks surprisingly good. Even Maryland, Indiana, and MSU. In my mind, there is no question that the B10 East is the best division in football right now. As for the B10 West, I find the early returns a little disappointing. Illinois looks even worse than expected, Northwestern is struggling, Nebraska nearly lost to Arkansas St., Iowa nearly lost to Iowa St... it is really just a one-team division, followed by a heavy dose of mediocrity.
32 weeks 2 days ago	4-8	Cincinnati went 4-8 last season against a pretty weak AAC schedule, yet somehow managed to beat Purdue 38-20. It seemed like their offense was abysmal, but the defense was at least mediocre. Despite the weak offense putting them in terrible positions, they only gave up more than 40 points once (South Florida).  As for when Cincy has the ball, I really hope Don Brown puts a spy on their QB all day. The kid seems to have a knack for tucking and running after he counts to two. I probably wouldn't blitz much at all if I were Mr. Brown, as Gary/Hurst/Winovich can be their own blitz on a three-man rush, and dropping more bodies to take away the dink passes could cause them some real problems... but they don't call him "Dr. 8-Man Coverage," so I doubt that will happen and I am fine with whatever the Mustache commands.
33 weeks 5 days ago	Haha!	Oh man, that would be hilarious.
33 weeks 5 days ago	Here here!	Well said! I can not like something, but appreciate the good it may do for the program that I love.
33 weeks 5 days ago	Exactly	Not really a change. Just a slightly different finish. I was more thinking along the lines of a substantive change, like the ridiculous things MSU has been rolling out of late.
33 weeks 5 days ago	Helmets	I'll withhold my opinion until I see how they look on the field. I am guessing I will not like them. However, I suppose having unusual uniformZ for one game is OK with me if it helps with recruiting (which I think it does). HOWEVER, if they messed with the helmet at all, I (and I suspect 95% of my fellow alumni) would have  a big problem with that.
33 weeks 5 days ago	Under	First of all, I would never bet against Michigan. I don't want to "emotionally hedge." Wins should be awesome, and losses should suck. That being said, if I were betting on this game, I would not take Michigan at -4. I think it is going to be a defense-dominated slugfest, and could end up being close. I would bet on the under, and possibly bet Michigan on the $ line. Wouldn't be shocked if the final was something like 17-14, UofM.
34 weeks 4 days ago	Hahaha!	That one made me laugh out loud!
34 weeks 5 days ago	Two candidates	For whatever reason, we don't seem to transfer in a lot of players... I'm sure I am forgetting someone, but I can only think of two that were eye-catching in recent years: John O'Korn, and Ty Isaac. Isaac was a pretty big name. As a side note, I am still unreasonably high on Ty Isaac, and would love to see him get more touches. The blend of power and shiftiness he brings to the table is pretty special. I have to think ball security must be the #1 reason he hasn't gotten more play.
34 weeks 5 days ago	I sure hope	they aren't 5-0, given that we are their fifth game.
35 weeks 2 days ago	16 days!	I am excited for all of it: - Can't wait to see what DPJ can do on the field, and to see the other young WRs in action - Really looking forward to watch Devin Bush fly untouched through the gap on a blitz and lower the boom on Zaire! - Will we be able to move the ball on the ground at all? Will the right side just collapse, or do we have someone who can at least hold serve there? - Khaleke Hudson ruining every screen and outside run. - Who is going to field punts for us? Lots of interesting options. - But probably most looking forward to seeing Quick Burst Hurst line up next to Gary and cave in that side of the line all day. That will be very fun to watch! Only 16 days to go!
