2 years 3 days ago	"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.
2 years 3 weeks ago	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."
2 years 5 weeks ago	Tasty!	Love their applesauce... original and cinnamon!
2 years 5 weeks ago	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.
2 years 6 weeks ago	And its lazy cousin...	"Dirk, your team just swept the Lakers from the playoffs. How do you feel about that?"
2 years 7 weeks ago	NFL Potential	I got a chuckle out of this line from the NFL.com analysis of Justin Boren: "Plays angry on the field but his mental makeup is in question after a transfer from Michigan."
2 years 7 weeks ago	Snubbery vs. Snobbery	Has Hoke made any kind of statement as to why he deliberately abbreviates the expansive "The Ohio State University" to "Ohio"? First time I heard it I laughed out loud - just thought it was like the guy who likes to introduce himself as Beauregard Crandall Thurston Jermajesty IV and everybody just calls him Bob.
2 years 8 weeks ago	That attitude...	...of regarding M as being such a unique and special place spills over in several tangible ways. Since Hoke believes the "leaders and best" thing is not just a line in a song: We're going to recruit the leaders and best and not settle for anything less - because we shouldn't have to, and Those affiliated with M are going to become the leaders and best - because every stakeholder in the M tradition expects nothing less. People learn best in two ways: having something (a) clearly taught and (b) consistently modeled. Thus far Hoke is saying AND doing the things that reflect his fundamental belief: Michigan is the singular institution that anyone who has the opportunity should be willing to crawl across broken glass to be a part of. That attitude, sincerely stated and lived out, is contagious.
2 years 8 weeks ago	Bree...	...just put the hurt on PSU. Clutch 0-2, 2-out RBI single to tie the game in the 6th.
2 years 8 weeks ago	Inigo Montoya Guide to Homophonia	You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. --Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride Eye am gassing the whirred your looking four is two. Won reason ewe mite knot half bin able too remember is that it has become politically incorrect two bee openly homophonic. All though thee definition has nothing to due with orientation and everything two due with pronunciation, I steel here there are sum people who git the idea that most of us on this bored are all high per homophones. I don’t except that and you shouldn't ether. (Sum off us are baroque banned musicians witch just crank up the base, play cords and reed Michigan supports sights wishing wee whir athletic.) Weather that’s truer not, were awl effected when a hand full loose they’re riding discipline and consistently misuse homophonic words. Then we half to submit are selves too the gram or not sees.
2 years 11 weeks ago	The author is TP	After reading that article I'm convinced the author is Terrelle Pryor. It is apparent an OSU student-athlete did the research on Jesus--TP perhaps? Only someone "saved" by Tressel would view Tressel as a "martyred Messiah"-- again, TP? And which current OSU student-athlete besides TP has such a well publicized history of doing research on research? Whereas a researcher seeks to write at the level of his audience, I believe we must conclude TP is the author.
2 years 11 weeks ago	Fair enough...	...but have you ever been to Columbia, Missouri? There are options, but seriously: a corn maze, a roller rink, and a bluegrass festival...
2 years 11 weeks ago	Exile and Democracy	It's the old management aphorism: What gets rewarded gets repeated; what gets punished gets avoided. Via the current point system, the only thing tangibly rewarded is new posts. Quality of content is effectively neutral. There is something to be said for the "shame" of being shotgunned with shadow negs; over time there is a de facto ostracism of those whose contributions are dung--which serves a similar purpose as banishment into exile. However, those whose participation is intermittent don't get the immediate pre-judgment of those whom the MGoCommunity has relegated to perdition because of their persistent slouch toward Bolivia.
