28 weeks 1 day ago	Consistency	Plus one to you, sir, for your consistency between threads and making your reply work to both. It's a great reference, to boot.
1 year 10 weeks ago	Not doing grad school at U of M	so I didn't have spring break. And I'm in 10 week semesters, so my current semester is almost over. And I'm doing it in my evenings as I'm currently working full time. However, I appreciate the "out" you've provided.
1 year 10 weeks ago	With your help	I might just be able to keep not studying for a while, though I expect my want for sleep will drive me to a rush job slash mediocre project. Gotta love the apathetic light at the end of the tunnel.
1 year 10 weeks ago	Formatting Question	Your parenthetic post script highlights an interesting question: If an emoticon is used to end a parenthetic comment, does that in fact close the parenthesis?   - Deep thoughts from some guy who doesn't want to work on a crappy grad school project.
1 year 12 weeks ago	Samesies	I'm samesies! OMG!
2 years 9 weeks ago	Local brew	A double IPA from a local micro brew. If you're in NOVA, I suggest you check out Mad Fox. Worth your time.
2 years 19 weeks ago	Thank you	Thank you very much. I will look in to procuring these.
2 years 19 weeks ago	book title?	I've been working on my scotch knowledge for a handful of years now and wouldn't mind actually getting smart on it. Might help me branch out from my comfort zone of Speysides.
2 years 26 weeks ago	Ezeh was responsible for an entire set of downs	I can't recall when it was, but I think it was in the second quarter; Ezeh was in a on a tackle on 1st down, solo tackle the next play, and on 3rd down batted down the pass. He totally came to play and deserves the week off from bashing.
2 years 26 weeks ago	Clock vs yardage	I should have been more clear in my original post. My argument is that an intentional grounding should be treated as a sack. A loss of down, distance, and the clock runs. Otherwise the offense gains something they wouldn't otherwise have had if they'd gotten sacked.
2 years 27 weeks ago	Thank you	But I believe I owe this piece of knowledge to the MGoBoard from some time over summer. Either that or wikipedia.
2 years 27 weeks ago	Krampus	Those most be Buckeye children. I heard Krampus is Brutus' cousin.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krampus
2 years 27 weeks ago	lower case "j"s	I'm really hoping this is a reference to "Earnest Goes to Jail" because that would make my evening.
2 years 27 weeks ago	Moar blitzing	I totally agree that bringing a variety of blitzes would help out our defense greatly. However, and please correct me if I'm wrong, hasn't one of Gerg's themes been conservative playcalling? He isn't exaclty known for his blitzes, right? At this point I'm great with the gamble of blitzing and hoping we get useful pressure as opposed to bend-fatigue-plastic deformation-break defense.
2 years 27 weeks ago	3-4 vs 3-3-5 vs 4-3	I think BG was calling for 4 down lineman because he feels that our D line would be a greater source of strength as opposed to our linebacking corp or our defensive backs. I don't think he's saying that three down linemen can't work, just that one should play to their strengths.
2 years 27 weeks ago	I don't think she's concerned with RR	It's the Silverfox she's hunting.
2 years 29 weeks ago	Interesting you should mention that game	I never even heard of it during my time on campus. It wasn't until I cross paths with someone who graduated the year ahead of me in Portland, OR that I learned the game. I then played the next time I was in AA and wondered what rock I lived under during undergrad.
2 years 30 weeks ago	+1	+1 for your avatar. Growing up my dad had to learn to do a "Grover" voice, which was awesome when he'd read "Resting Places".  http://www.amazon.com/Lovable-Grovers-Resting-Places-Pictureback/dp/0394...
2 years 31 weeks ago	Boat Night	I'd like a to a SFW pic from Boat Night.
2 years 31 weeks ago	Hometown	It's hard to miss "landmarks" from one's hometown.
2 years 31 weeks ago	Your avatar	Why do you have the Huron lightship as your avatar? Are you from PoHo?
2 years 31 weeks ago	Lucy	You've got some splainin' to do.
2 years 31 weeks ago	+1 for the use	of penii. That's my favorite way to pluralize it.
2 years 31 weeks ago	How long is the break between the service and reception?	I'm going to a wedding this Saturday where the service is at 2 and the reception is at 5. That means that I get the first half before the reception starts. I'm also planning on taking a leave of absence from the reception if it's close in the 4th quarter (which I am expecting to do). Either way, I too object to fall weddings. To make matters worse, the two people getting married are both U of M alums, but I'm quite certain that they don't even know that it's football season.
2 years 32 weeks ago	One way to offset the costs	I went to a U of M / WMU game in K-zoo while I was in school and they were handing out "Black Out" shirts with I think "Fox Sports" sponsorship on it. I'm sure someone would be willing to pay to have their advertising worn by 109k+ people. Are we willing to "sell out" like that? I'd be OK with it if that meant having a very well coordinated color scheme.   As a note, I do realize the difference in magnitude between a hockey arena and the Big House.
2 years 32 weeks ago	We've unfortunately gotten burned too much.	Were you going for the play on words?
2 years 33 weeks ago	Let's just hope he's more	Let's just hope he's more successful than Snidely was in his dastardly deeds. Also, does this mean that Rocko Khoury and David Moosman got in his way last year?
2 years 33 weeks ago	+1	+1 for the use of "wackadoos"
2 years 33 weeks ago	The Knowledge	Please reference The Knowledge's season review. I believe it's the Broncos we'll be seeing in the NC game.   http://mgoblog.com/diaries/2010-season-review
2 years 33 weeks ago	Can't help myself	That's what she said.
