It’s not like they didn’t have the talent there in the first place. Maybe use all that money and get a new coach?

I’m assuming the Stalions at CMU is the other “bad” news to drop some were mentioning last week?

The wife and I saw it yesterday. Like, Wow! How does he do all that running and fighting and his dress shirt never comes untucked! I can’t even go to the buffet and keep my dress shirt tucked in.

I have a Kubota zero turn. I had a riding lawn mower for the longest time and when it finally died, went through the same. I can say I’m glad I got one. I mow my yard and my mom’s. I went with the Kubota because it was cheaper than the Scag and have been impressed with their tractors. It’s well built and has the mid-size Kawasaki engine.

Re: Davis, one of the local parents said that his current high school is his 3rd. He bounced around because he couldn’t make the starting rotation. Just wondering if anyone has heard the same. 

Dang, that’s what those…

Dang, that’s what those ships are carrying. We’ve been out fishing and have seen those ships and have always wondered what was on board.

Houstan is really bad. I don’t know how any NBA team goes, “yup, that’s our guy”

One thing I noticed from…

One thing I noticed from attending the UNC game was how much our young players didn’t understand spacing. Coach Howard was pointing and directing them where to stand and go all night long. I was amazed at how much he pointing and directing he did as compared to Coach Davis on the other side.

XM, I second that trail cam idea. I’ve recently switched to the SPYPOINT cell cameras and have been very pleased. Would love to see you confirm your wolverine.

Just passing this along, i spoke with The father of Texas’ athletic trainer (who was also with Shaka when he was at VCU) and asked him if his son was moving to Ann Arbor any time soon, and his comment was, nah, doesn’t look like it. Probably one more year in Austin.

NowTameInThe603, I have family that's close to him. 

you know, about a week ago,…

you know, about a week ago, i posted that Crouch wasn't that crazy about Clemson and a poster said i didn't know what i was talking about.  no one really knows where he's going but he does have legit interest in michigan and loves harbaugh.  we often hear recruits talk about the "family atmosphere" here at UM and that's exactly what Crouch feels.  he feels harbaugh is real and that's one of the things in UM's favor.  I haven't heard much about TN but like I've said before, no one really knows where he'll end up.  I do know that Crouch is a terrific kid with a strong faith and he'll be great wherever he ends up.  

Agree. Don’t know your…

Agree. Don’t know your source but that’s what I’m hearing as well from my source regarding Crouch.

TraderJack, be happy to…

Trader Jack, be happy to share with you where I got my information from privately. What’s the best way to message you? Or if the Mods would like to email me, be glad to share with them. 

You’re right, Crouch is big…

You’re right, Crouch is big on his faith, but I disagree on the Dabo part, at least that’s what i’ve been told. I think Crouch is down between us and Clemson and anyone who claims to know who it is definitively is just making it up. I think it’s going to go down the wire as to who he’s going to sign with. Plus, while distance may play a factor, he wouldn’t mind getting away from the Carolinas to put some distance between him and others.

My understanding on Crouch…

My understanding on Crouch is that he’s not feeling Dabo and that there are people telling him not to go to Clemson. Clemson’s selling point is that there’s really no one else in the ACC that can challenge them and they’re almost guaranteed a spot in the playoffs every year. Just putting this out there.

Does anyone have a live stream? Asking for a friend...

Don’t give up hope on him yet. I’m hearing that he hasn’t made up his decision yet. If the mods want, they can email me and I’ll be glad to share my source. 

I’m pretty excited about the I’m pretty excited about the matchup. GW alum and Michigan fan here. Will have to see about getting tickets to this one.
Let’s not paint with a broad Let’s not paint with a broad brush here about prosecutors.. You have great people who do very hard work for minimal pay. Cases don’t go to trial for numerous reasons but cases aren’t pled out because of a lack of resource.
So do you think they do it So do you think they do it when they do the overnight thing? asking for a friend...
Observations from last night...

My wife and I were lucky enough to be at the game last night.  Here are some of my thoughts...Robinson needs to come off the bench.  He had a hard time guarding Luke and they immediately went to that mismatch.  I think if Robinson makes that layup or dunks the damn ball, Carolina doesn't go on the 30 to something run.  That one play changed the momentum in that arena.  The crowd went wild after he missed and the following reverse layup.  I don't know why UM went away from hitting Moe down low or letting him work UNC's bigs.  He was doing a decent job and getting to the basket.  Beilien definitely needs to trim the PG rotation.  They were having a hard time getting into their sets.  My wife, who is no sports fan, even commented that UM "wasn't as smooth" as UNC when it came to moving the ball around.  I wouldn't mind seeing Moe, Teske, Livers, Matthews and MAAR lineup.  Livers was definitely bigger than i expected.  Davis did a good job out there in his limited minutes on D. 

Where are you eating..

God, where are you eating?  My family and I would like to join you so we can say we ate with God.  Is Squids still open? 

Done at RB? To the recruiting guys on this page, what’s UMs position on Crouch, the RB from Charlotte? It’s my understanding the kid has legitimate interest.
RIP.

Nik's not a poet like JJ. If Nik's not a poet like JJ. If you want to stay in the NBA, you've got to have mad poetry skills. Haikus are not going to cut it.
I was getting ready to go to I was getting ready to go to work, walking from the kitchen to the living room area watching the news of the first plane hitting the building. As the anchor was talking and they were doing a live feed, saw the second plane hit. I left and went to work and my boss said, "hey did you hear what happened?". I said yeah in New York, she said, "no, at the pentagon." That's when we got word to evacuate the building because we were on K street. i walked back to campus in the opposite direction of where everyone else was running. I remember an older man telling me, "hey you're going the wrong way". I was a junior at George Washington. There was mass confusion. We were getting reports that the State Department had been bombed and that there was a fire on the national mall by the Lincoln Memorial. I remember a friend calling me before the lines went out to tell everyone to stay inside our dorms until notified otherwise. After that, all phones and cellular phones went dead. We were told they were being diverted for emergency services. The only way I could reach my parents were through AOL instant messenger. I still remember the message I sent my family, "I'm inside and safe." We had jets and helicopters flying over the city and armed soldiers at every corner for what seemed like months. To all the service men and women, a very big thank you for your sacrifice and for what you do.
Last year my wife and I Last year my wife and I were buying a new van. We were in a cubicle of a very busy dealership. My wife was playing with our 3 and 5 year old daughters. My wife popped a mint in her mouth and was breathing on our 5 year old. My 3 year old yells out, "mommy your breath stinks" which elicited several chuckles from the cubicles next to us. I couldn't keep it together so I had to step out.
Doc, that's some impressive Doc, that's some impressive points you got there. This post made me think of something that happened at work. We had a kid vandalize a truck. On the back of the truck, there was a "4x4" emblem on it. The kid scratched "=8"
+1 for you. It was meant as a +1 for you. It was meant as a joke. But seriously, I just don't understand how that paper continues to employ Sharp after the plagiarism mess and all the anti Big Ten crap he's written over the years. You figure at some point that paper goes, sorry, you gotta go.
Why you guys hating my place Why you guys hating my place of employment? Why all the rage?
I second that. Great family I second that. Great family place. Is it still BYOB? Saw a guy roll in a trash can full of beer and ice
Williams play for a high

Williams play for a high school nearby.  I believe his school is in the 1A division, which is the smallest here in NC.  Just putting it out there...

Dammit Hydra!!

Dammit Hydra!!

I have a colleague who said

I have a colleague who said the classes were open to all students but that the particular course number wasn't in the class listing.  he got in because his roommate was on the baseball team and gave him the course number. 

What?

That's not true.  I always have a plan!!

 

In all seriousness, Hoke should have been gone after year 3....if you follow DB's reasoning for firing RR. The teams were getting worse year by year and all we kept on hearing was excuse after excuse.

I second that westwardwolverine

one of the espn commentators said devin's got an unusually high sack rate for a mobile qb..especially for being #1 dual threat qb coming out of high school.  he seems reluctant to run when his receivers are bottled up.

Chelsea Clinton and Omeka Okafor While in undergrad, I was waiting for a friend to get off of work at a coffee shop. A girl jumps out of a black limo type car and knocks in the door. I hear my friend say, sorry we're closed. Another coworker and I asked her if she recognized the girl who she just shut the door on. She says no. It was Chelsea Clinton.


Met Okafur at a dim sum restaurant in Charlotte. Wife and I got to talk to him while we were on the way out and a got pic snapped with him.
Man...

those tickets add up.  I remember being in summer school there and the parking tickets ranged from $10-25 depending on how fast you went to go pay it off.
