Suggestions on where to…

Suggestions on where to watch the game online if one does not have BTN?

.

yes

.

from the vantage…

.

yes

.

from the vantage point of the future, THE KNOWLEDGE looked back upon the year 2020

.

his visage gazed upon the madness and mayhem that this year would bring and his countenance was darkened

.

yes

.

knowing that those who follow THE KNOWLEDGE were promised a life that is worry free as they know the results of the future prior to its arrival

.

and, knowing that should THE KNOWLEDGE reveal what the year 2020 would bring, it may produce great anxiety, much worry, and some doubt, even among his most devoted devotees

.

THE KNOWLEDGE, in his unassailable omnisapience, weighed the risk and determined to leave these revelations unrevealed

.

yes

.

through this selfless act of bitter benevolence, though unseen and unheard at the present time

.

THE KNOWLEDGE continues to soar

.

leaving every doubter in a trail of dust

.

yes

Maybe it's just me - or maybe it's because so much time has passed my recollection is fuzzy. But whenever I hear Brian Cook speak, his voice reminds me of JP McCarthy.

PUNT-RETURN PENALTY HAIKU

PUNT-RETURN PENALTY HAIKU

Why the yellow flag?

A penalty on Josh Ross

For kicking their ass.

"Well, I don’t know. I don’t know how much you can fix the kick return last week. If kicking someone’s butt is a penalty nowadays, then sure. But he didn’t grab, he didn’t hold. He pancaked a guy. And they called a flag." - Chris Partridge

My daughter is 26. Can confirm things DO get better in 25 years :) Yes, enjoy. This is the stuff of life that makes it so rich - especially when there are more miles behind you than what lie ahead.

I signed up, got my orders, and ... alas. The team I was ordered to attack/defend was not presented as one of the options.

Help?

BiSB – you are a genius

Aristotle said so.

“The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor …  it is also a sign of genius, since a good metaphor implies an intuitive perception of the similarity in the dissimilar” (Poetics).

In my own cursory review of the 2017 schedule, it never occurred to me that our first-half opponents include an A-10 Warthog, an under-ripened avocado, Icarus in flames hitting an iceburg, and cinnamon-flavored chili.

This write-up is like a steaming bowl of Malt-o-Meal. Good stuff, Maynard.

Only on MGoBlog...

... would a reader employ a sesquipedalian word in the Subject line - and the legitimacy of its appropriation generate as much discussion as the subject itself.

My kind of people :)

Nice.

Nice job.

Nice job girls.

6-2, Top of 9
Following the bases loaded double by Patrick, Gutierrez executes the squeeze to add another run in the bottom of the 8th.

Consistency

General question: If Mullen's actions disqualify him for consideration as a Michigan coach, does that also eliminate Miles - or most of the other SEC coaches?

It's not just his job...

...it's his dooty.

So Tom...

...How does it feel to be Stauskissed?

*ZING*

Tom Crean would drop 200 on this Champion Baptist team without thinking twice. And then cut the nets down afterwards

Merry Forking Christmas.

Re: Point 1

I would add that nobody knows what Dave Brandon has said to Coach Hoke - and vice versa. Regardless of one's opinions of Brandon's executive style, he's not a laissez-faire AD. When he sees what he perceives is even a small problem, he doesn't just accept the first pat (or public) explanation from his coaches and then sing the Fight Song until everyone feels better. He's incredibly engaged - especially in the football program (was on the sideline of this game) and is hyper brand-conscious. If he thinks the course of action by this staff is not the best plan given all the data, I have a hard time imagining he'll be silent very long about it. At least behind closed doors. 

I like this game...
  • A fool and his money ... could probably start at quarterback at Michigan State.
  • To err is ... to start at quarterback at Michigan State.
  • If you can't stand the heat ... you probably start at quarterback at Michigan State.
  • Finders keepers, losers ... probably start at quarterback at Michigan State.

But even this game has its limitations, to wit:

  • Great minds ... start at quarterback at Michigan State.
  • Cheaters never ... start at quarterback at Michigan State.
  • Etc.

 

 

I love how...

...right in the front of the student section is our favorite fan, Lloyd Brady. And he's tagged as Lloyd Brady.

"Jack Nicklaus" vs. "Arnold Palmer"

Our family was celebrating my wife's birthday at a particular dining establishment in West Palm Beach. I'm not much of a drinker but do have one indulgence: an "Arnold Palmer" - half iced tea, half lemonade. The young lady waiting on our table told us that Jack Nicklaus Jr. was seated at the table next to us and had just ordered a "Jack Nicklaus." She said it's half iced tea and half cranberry juice, apparently Jack II is on a crusade to make it as popular as the "Arnold Palmer," and would I be interested? I passed.

When Pots Investigate Kettles

Interesting, considering the Columbus Dispatch just this week was accused of cheating (e.g. plagiarism by their editorial cartoonist). The paper did their own "investigation" and found the whole thing "appears to be [only] a coincidence."

Tasty!

Love their applesauce... original and cinnamon!

If Michigan Players Were Redrafted

Rankings in 2007:

  • #9 Lamarr Woodley (drafted #46)
  • #10 David Harris (drafted #47)
  • #13 Leon Hall (drafted #18)
  • #28 Steve Breaston (drafter #142)

Rankings in 2008

  • #10 Jake Long (drafted #1)

With the exception of Jake, the other Michigan players mentioned exceeded expectations - none more than Steve Breaston.
