1 day 18 hours ago	But student-athletes love	But student-athletes love those helmets!
3 weeks 3 days ago	Breaking down his candidacy....	- A good percentage of the state won't vote for a Republican. - A good percentage of Republican/undecided voters are Michigan State fans, who won't vote for him. - A good percentage of his natural demographic (Michigan fans) won't vote for him, for whatever reason, political or personal. - The easiest parallel to make with Brandon (Ann Arbor businessman, relatively uncontroversial public persona, viewed as politically neutral) is Rick Snyder, who currently has sub-40% popularity levels, and who ran a neutral campaign that veered vastly right-wing after two years.  Everything negative about Snyder will be attached to Brandon. I don't think Brandon will run.  It's a bad race for him to run in, sources tell me he prefers being an exec to being "1 of 100", and I don't see a path to victory for him. If he does run, I think it will be a mistake in the long run.
6 weeks 16 hours ago	R U B	There's one of these just down the road from Comerica Park.  I was in there a couple times in 2012, it was a solid establishment. However, I don't think they served subs, so I can't vouch for if this event will be crazy.
6 weeks 6 days ago	My choices...	Football - Woodson (with Rose Bowl shoulder graphic), Brady, Howard, Ford, Denard (with name on back!), Anthony Carter tearaway. Basketball - Trey Burke...with his name on the back, and properly sewn letters and numbers. And Fab Five, of course. Hockey - Brendan Morrison (as listed above), Red Berenson (white with MICHIGAN across front like current whites), Carl Hagelin (either regular maize from that era, or Big Chill).  Got all of the others that I need.  haha
9 weeks 23 hours ago	To be completely fair...	...Ferris State wanted one of their guys to be in the 1st team, the seventh guy out there, but the CCHA caught the move and didn't allow it.
9 weeks 23 hours ago	When does this game start?	2:30?
9 weeks 6 days ago	Nope.	Stripes are just on the pants.  haha
10 weeks 5 days ago	wheeeee	I'm very happy after that.  That's great.  I'm tired.  I'm gonna go pass out and wake up before the highlights on the news later. Oh man, we won that game.  We won that game! aaaaahh
10 weeks 6 days ago	All I can say on this is...	....I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were false. There's a strong case made for both outcomes. At the end of the day, we've got the right guy, and that's all that really matters.  And, that whatever Les Miles did or didn't do isn't worse than what Joe Paterno did.
12 weeks 19 hours ago	Wait, what/	What happened to all the accounts?
13 weeks 1 day ago	That couldn't have gone worse if...	...Darren Rovell were asking the questions.
13 weeks 3 days ago	You're damn right he will.	HOKE POINT ACTIVATE
13 weeks 6 days ago	FOUL ON THAT PLAY FOUL FOUL	FOUL ON THAT PLAY FOUL FOUL FOUL AAAAAAAAAAAH
14 weeks 11 hours ago	I'm a die-hard Michigan fan	I'm a die-hard Michigan fan too, but don't have the basketball knowledge and history because I'm a hockey guy.  There's a segment of the Michigan fanbase that doesn't follow basketball until the Big Ten season starts up, or something like that.  There's also a segment that doesn't care about hockey unless it's MSU week or a tournament, and that's alright too. This whole hockey debacle is really casting a pall over enjoying this basketball season, for me.  Just a year with a lot of feelings.
14 weeks 11 hours ago	No.	On one hand, Sparty can be a useful tool in beating Ohio State or other bigger rivals.  (For years, Michigan would beat Notre Dame and give Sparty a chance to knock out the Irish, and Sparty would blow it.) On the other hand, three years of having bandwagon Sparty fans call our QB reprehensible racial slurs does get old. ---- And, speaking as someone who goes to a lot of Michigan games, watching a game in East Lansing is somewhat bizarre.  Way more drunkenness, far more profanities, and stuff that must have seemed cool in 1995.  (Despite all the renovations to their facilities, their Jock Jams, Volume 3 CD managed to stick around.)  Just a weird timewarp of a place.
14 weeks 20 hours ago	Well, mascot was shorter than	Well, mascot was shorter than "person who comes to Michigan Stadium because they are a Michigan fan, so let's just give them tickets and make them a symbol of the school instead of a giant furry anime muskrat covered in hashtags and Arby's coupons". So yeah, mascot.
14 weeks 22 hours ago	The magic of Twitter.	The magic of Twitter.
14 weeks 23 hours ago	Welcome!	Welcome, visitor from the Spartan Tailgate/Red Cedar message board!
14 weeks 1 day ago	Alert Lloyd Carr!	Lloyd, please serve on this committee. Also, please don't let Bill Martin serve on the committee.  Thanks. - Michigan
14 weeks 1 day ago	Huge Michigan fan who hung up	Huge Michigan fan who hung up on Colin Cowherd when he was being a dick on an interview.
14 weeks 1 day ago	That's exactly right.	Dave Brandon needs to make this happen, for all of us.
15 weeks 1 day ago	Come on, Dave Brandon would never talk online this way.	Before the hot girl would send a picture, she would also try to get the victim to purchase an Arby's-brand sandwich or one-use special football jersey.
19 weeks 1 day ago	You know what?	Just like how the Children of Yost have signed flags to Carl Hagelin and Chris Brown in recent years, is there any way would could all sign this for Denard somewhere? It'd be like the HTTV release party.
21 weeks 1 day ago	Looking at their site...	I had no idea Value City stores even existed in metro Detroit, I thought they were all in Lansing and Grand Rapids/West Michigan.  I remember VC stores in Lansing, when I was little. Turns out, there are none in Lansing now.  Huh.
24 weeks 6 days ago	I mean, if Saban had a week	I mean, if Saban had a week to prepare for a freshamn QB, he'd get his butt kicked. But a whole month?!?!?  No chance for that freshman QB.
24 weeks 6 days ago	MICHIGAN/CORNELL HOCKEY AT 8	Hockey time in a couple of hours!
24 weeks 6 days ago	Run up the middle. Up the	Run up the middle. Up the middle, stopped short. Up the middle, punt.
24 weeks 6 days ago	Breaking News.	Al Borges just called another run up the middle.
25 weeks 19 hours ago	Technically, you're right	The image is a photoshop of a shirt that would be made for purchase if OSU wins tomorrow. It probably came from a pre-sale somewhere.
25 weeks 2 days ago	Sticking around for the weekend?	If so, Michigan Hockey plays Cornell at MSG on Saturday night. A good nightcap to what will hopefully be a celebratory day.
