7 weeks 18 hours ago Not that I wouldn't love to

Not that I wouldn't love to see Burke come back, but playing devil's advocate, I can see how riding the bench and making half a million a year could be more appealing than having to go to class and stuff.

That said, I really wish he would come back, develop his game and be a higher pick in next year's draft.  He'd probably end up with a higher net worth two years from now even after not getting paid for one of those years.
14 weeks 6 days ago I've always found the term

I've always found the term "Walmart Wolverine" to be a little odd, there are plenty of MSU fans that didn't go to State; at least the Michigan fans are supporting a winning tradition.  Perhaps it was necessary to come up with an alternative to "Walmart Employee", which generally describes a graduate of MSU or one of their legacies?

Wouldn't it be better to only vote once, for Novak?  That's what I did.

I recommend the following link to see whether your congressperson supports SOPA/PIPA, as well as where their money is coming from.

19 weeks 15 hours ago Things to do in Cleveland

My friends and I will be getting into town sometime Saturday, anyone have any ideas for something that shouldn't be missed or is fun to do downtown?  Bars that 35ish year-olds would enjoy?
26 weeks 6 days ago Parking

You're 16 and coming up to the game sans-parents for the first time?  If I were you I wouldn't worry about congestion after the game because you should really take some time to enjoy the experience rather than being in a rush to get out of there.  It's really only badly congested for about an hour or so following the game, at least for me to get from Stadium and Main to 94 West via Jackson Rd.

That said, there are plenty of good suggestions earlier in the thread for places to park.  I'd probably either park near the stadium or focus on parking North of the stadium so you're closer to downtown.  Walk around and have some fun after the game.  Go downtown for a bite to eat, or wander through the golf course or Pioneer or any of the many places people are tailgating and watch some of another game on one of the TVs people will have displayed.  I know that's fairly common because people always stop and watch ours.

Have fun, and Go Blue!

With as much Leage of Legends as I've played, I can't believe that never occurred to me until reading this post.  Good work!  :)

While I'm a big fan of the White Stripes in general, and that song specifically, I'm strongly opposed to playing it in the Big House.  Is everyone else aware of just how often they play that at the Horseshoe, and how all of the Buckeye fans make a little "O" symbol with their hands? I believe they stole that from Oregon, maybe? They definitely didn't come up with it on their own, as usual, but they do it.  As do countless other schools.

When we're rawk-ing out to something that has been appropriated by our biggest rivals, who have been doing it for at least a year or two (if not longer), I think it makes us look foolish.

I know it won't be a popular opinion around here, but I prefer "In the Big House" being played if only because it is unique to us.  I'm in full agreement with the poster above who said that they'd prefer it came from an anonymous source rather than Nickelback's mascara-loving guitar techs, but at least I don't cringe and have "O-H.... I-O" flashbacks every time I hear it.

That stinks.  I saw Vada shopping at Meijer like 4-6 weeks ago, and he looked healthier than I had expected.  I was hoping his prognosis was looking better.  Good luck to him and his family.
1 year 14 weeks ago Chrome Frame

Hope I'm not too late to the party.

I don't know if your particular security policy will allow it, but Google Chrome Frame is a plugin for IE (including IE 6) that uses Chrome's rendering engine for the html and javascript inside of Internet Explorer.  If you were able to install it, you could just enable it for mgoblog and it should solve your problems.

Alternatively Brian (or his brother) could enable a meta-tag that will automagically force browsers that have Chrome Frame installed to use that rendering engine over IE's (which is a good thing).

Good luck!
