It's very easy to be friendly and relaxed with your rivals when times are good. Look at buckeyejonross, who was a good member here for a decade. His last post was 11/24/2021.
Adding A “y/ie” To Players Names: Announcers seem to gush at the opportunity to rename a player to a little kids name - turning Steve Breaston into Stevie Breaston, or Mike Sainristil into Mikey.
To be fair, Mike Sainristil's name is pronounced Mikey so people are just spelling it like they hear it rather than giving him a nickname.
So why Ohio State? The Buckeyes have the fewest knocks against them. Their weakest win was a 20-point road conference game in the opener against Indiana. That’s better than Washington (a seven-point win at Arizona), Oklahoma (a 14-point win at Cincinnati) and Florida State (a two-point win at Boston College). I also think Ohio State’s win at Notre Dame is comparable to the best wins of anyone else in the top tier, and a blowout over Maryland helps, too. Advanced metrics also put the Buckeyes at or near the top — they’re No. 1 in ESPN’s Football Power Index — so I’m keeping them there for now.
Hard to top the 1994 Urbana Pee-Wee Football championship game when the Little Giants defeated the Cowboys on a 99-yard "Annexation of Puerto Rico" fumblerooski as time expired.
Fisher actually retired a couple of years ago. Now they're coached by his longtime assistant Brian Dutcher who was recruiting coordinator when UM landed the Fab Five, so arguably as head coaching goes he's had almost as much of an impact on Michigan this season as he has SDSU...
I think it's implied that the other Walkers can. The whole idea behind the plan to take out the Night King comes from the Wight Hunt beyond-the-wall, when Jon kills a White Walker and a bunch of wights de-animated immediately, suggesting he was the one that re-animated them. Beric Dondarrion then theorizes if they could kill the NK, then the same thing might happen to the White Walkers he re-animated and then cascade down to the wights they re-animated.
The Night King might be the only one that can create another White Walker, though.
Name and avatar are from a beach trip interview with Big Will Campbell when the team was down in Florida for the 2013 Outback Bowl:
It's hard out here. I done fought two sharks, wrassled a sting ray, ate two crabs--had butter out there. It's hard out here but you know how we do it, I'm from Detroit. You know, it was nothing. Two great whites, punched a whale in the face... easy day. Go Blue.
This season has been pretty slow paced (though always watchable), but I expect it's all been setup for the next starting with tonight.
You always knew Tuan's fanaticism for the cause was gonna blow up in their face and I think what he did and how they react is gonna mark the beginning of the end for the Jenningses. Should've gotten him that dog he wanted.
Great series if you're looking to get a decided schematic advantage, though to be honest these first three are the best. Books 4-8 were a huge disappointment.
In S3, mobster and total psycho Robert Quarles is trying to bribe Raylan, and Raylan mocks him with a sarcastic comment asking if he learned that in business school.
Quarles looks real pleased and replies, "UofM. Go Blue!"
Because the cage only unlocks when there's a winner. If cage matches didn't "work" (i.e., produce a winner), then everyone would still be locked in the cage.
Michael can't imagine any other scenario (like you, I, or any normal person could) explaining how people would get out of the cage, therefore cage matches must work.
The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie from 1990. Loved it as a huge Turtles kid when it came out and recently watched it with my nephew after we saw the Michael Bay one. Just as entertaining as I remembered.
I'm not actually embarassed to admit it (obviously), but I think I'm supposed to be.
BattleFrog is the brand name of the obstacle courses. The show is colleges competing on those courses. Like if there was a "Crossfit College Challenge."
Like most of ESPN's programming, I didn't watch the show or even know it existed...
But we have seen the guy who says "he's everywhere!" That's Mr. White, the guy who executed Le Chiffre (and inconsequentially saving Bond from further torture) and then confiscated the diamonds in Casino Royale. He was last seen as a member of the Spectre-like organization Quantum in Quantum of Solace, claiming that "we have people everywhere."
So I wouldn't be surprised if Spectre reveals that Oberhauser/Blofeld has had a hand in things throughout the entire run of Craig films.
There actually were occasional screams and battle sounds after the fog rolled in, but they were muted a bit to keep the eerie atmosphere. You can especially hear them when the Thenn looks through the hole in the Hardhome wall.
I'm assuming the fog was cover for the first wave and that unlike those inside the wall, the wildlings outside never had much of a chance to fight back. After all, the majority of the wights we saw were waaaay too decayed and skeletony to be the wildlings outside.

Glad to see RDT is still out there.
So…
This is what he says:

As recently as 2021, PFF projected Penix over Stroud.
His name is Robert Paulson.
Not quite that 90-yarder you wanted but close enough.

I've always been partial to the big giant Gerald Ford head on Mackinac Island.
Yeah, his brother Taulia Tagovailoa is their 3rd-string QB.
Also note the extra…
Indeed.
Also note the extra relevance of the sign to the right, "STOOPS DRIVES A MINIVAN"
mgowill was doing a pretty good job troll-hunting but I haven't seen him recently.
Congrats, you've passed the Maizen CAPTCHA. Glad to have you on board!
I don't care to belong to any board that would let me start a thread.

*Cite. Just take it easy, Walter.
Carr never even had a 3-game losing streak in a single season.
Somebody actually created a college version of Tecmo Bowl (with 2016 rosters) for NES emulators.

Yep. The founders were doctoral candidates at UM. And in a few episodes, Ann Arbor is referenced as shorthand for the Initiative.
if it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.

That's why it's funny. Michael Scott would expect people to remain in the cage indefinitely.
Much like he expected some result from simply shouting out loud that he was declaring bankruptcy. He's very much a literalist.
Sometimes, when nobody's around, I watch Terminator 2.

Yup. And Ferrigno coaches their special teams.

Both are definitely enough to give you nightmares, but I gotta agree with justin—A Brave New World scared the shit out of me even more.
This webcomic pretty much illustrates why:
Bryan Harsin took over from Petersen and coached Boise State last year, but otherwise I agree.
No, we've never seen his character before.
