Also a big the Audible fan, and Podcast Ain't Played Nobody from SB Nation is my other favorite national college football podcast. Godfrey and Bill Connelly are a great, as they say, college football marriage of numbers and words. It's honestly one of the closest things to MGoBlog content I've found on the national level.
Hope you like mid-majors is all, but they do cover the Power 5 quite a bit as well, albeit sometimes begrudgingly.
The "Quan" is a dance move that's kind of hard to explain - a sort of slow walk with swinging arms and loads of swagger. The move is based on the dancing of the rapper Rich Homie Quan (hence "Quan") in the music video of his song Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh). But it became popular because of a group called @IHeartMemphis making a song called Hit the Quan which led to the dance becoming wildy popular.
How does the quality and/or bad losses of our basketball team impact WD's or anyone else's ability to note that Minnesota is playing poorly tonight? Seems like their being down 23 at half to SDSU (who at least hasn't beaten them multiple times in football like NDSU) and WD noting it has nothing to do with how Michigan played tonight or any other time...
But more importantly crowd-sourcing the naming of positions like head coach is a brilliant idea. Who wouldn't donate to make the Zack Novak Assistant Basketball Coach happen? The Dennis Norfleet Slot WR/Running Back/Returner/Slash Coach?
Stephen Curry and Trey were both there tonight... Where's the pooint guard we drafted/kept instead? Oh right, Ricky Rubio's the worst shooter in NBA history. /cries
My only pet peeve is the mention of MSU being banged up, which I know you did mostly sarcastically, without mentioning McGary being out until the next paragraph (which more than evens it out).
That having the Super Bowl on a Saturday, in addition to leading to worse ratings, also couldn't help the brand consistency we know executives love so much.
Straight performance based like that? The number would have to be much more than 25K, but there's something to be said for rewarding performance only. Of course it couldn't work because of injuries and managers taking pitchers out, but it's an intriguing thought..
Edit: If those are the choices, Kubiak honestly looks the best to me for the Lions. At least he had some success and developed Schaub pretty well, until it all went downhill.
Minnesota and Nebraska games being more convincing wins and less nervewracking. Hard because they were on the road but still should have been very possible (free throw shooting, etc.)
Because they're close Hoke can't fire him? He's too sentimental to fire his good friend? That's not the Brady Hoke I think I know or the one Dave Brandon knows, either. Yes he likes to be nice but he knows his ultimate job is to win football games. Hoke wouldn't fire Borges because they're too close, even with his own job potentially at stake? He would give up being the head football coach at Michigan, his stated dream, to save one fellow coach, until he was forced by the AD to fire him? I call BS
"(So much for arguments about kids missing class)"
Even with the new system, student-athletes in the championship game will miss less class than those in FCS and lower levels, and those who play almost any other sport - basketball being the most notable example. I honestly don't think that missing another day or two was or should be a consideration in formatting the Playoff.

This has also led to lots of Vines of people doing the dance/hitting the Quan - see some here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu6lCRtHDc8.
Hope that helps - it's confusing even for a college student.

The lineup card has to go, it would be 0-2
Demar Dorsey? Now in the AFL apparently, who knew
January 2014 was really really really great though
because that was a good joke
But no post is more worth it. Thanks, Ace.
Second day of schools and the entire state being closed in Minnesota!
My only pet peeve is the mention of MSU being banged up, which I know you did mostly sarcastically, without mentioning McGary being out until the next paragraph (which more than evens it out).
Cheers though, great post and Go Blue!
Horford (and Morgan) are old
In this match and for one last Slam title to top off the career!
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLLLLLLLLLE
TURN DOWN FOR UNDEFEATED IN THE BIG TEN YEAAAAAAA
DOESN'T EVEN MATTER WHO WON THIS WE BEAT THEM BOTH WOOOOOOOOOO
Like why
But no matter they beat OSU wooooooooo
"Bo Ryan is pretty much alien hitler" tag >>>>
Duke winning makes their resume stronger which makes it less of a "bad loss" if they're a better team. Is what my reply meant to say
First ever! go me
this next week is big in proving where we really belong
But also makes the Duke loss more explainable if they're better so pros and cons
Just spent an hour re-watching the endings of the 89 championship, the 2004 NIT win and Kansas last year. So glad to have that ability thanks to you.

Switched over during halftime... Really really bad last possession by Wiscy
As long as we can avoid being Penn State's Illinois (the team that they beat out of nowhere), I'll be happy! Go Blue tonight!
I'm certainly hyped!
The goals with announcing are great, and the volley montage is particularly well done.
Oof. Oooooooooof.

I'm no expert but I think the Saints might have to score at least once to win
Percy Harvin my God. The league is definitely more enjoybale when he's healthy
Here's to the end of a shortened-due-to-weather week and a great start to 2014 with the two basketball wins, the Nussmeier hire and everything else!
Minnesota and Nebraska games being more convincing wins and less nervewracking. Hard because they were on the road but still should have been very possible (free throw shooting, etc.)
Still I'm not complaing 2014 I love you!!
Even small victories are great!

Nuss-ing could make me happier than this! Nuss-ing can stop us now! I see nuss-ing wrong with this hire! I'm going to stop now! Go Blue!
Brady proving all the haters wrong and doing what has to be done to win and be successful! I LOVE it!
