3 weeks 1 day ago	When reading the "ceiling"	When reading the "ceiling" category at the bottom of the topic, did anyone else read the final word (Football) in the john madden voice from Family Guy?   I think I may be going a little nuts as I find myself thinking about quotes from that show on a very regular basis.  I guess if this is the beginning of insanity I welcome it with open arms.  It makes life more interesting.

41 weeks 3 days ago	The perception is that he	The perception is that he will get you drafted high if you are an elite talent gets the recruits.  Saban is a good coach, but couldn't get talent at MSU.  I thought he said something like that himself, but i don't have a link.  I remember it from somewhere. It's been said many times on the board that there aren't any differences between the admission requirements of the SEC and the B1G.  S It seems that there is some bull poo going on there but there is no solid evidence for the claims.  I think it has been shown throughout the recent history of college football that if there is something going on it will eventually be the downfall of the program(SMU, Miami, ect).  It is in human nature to allow hubris and group think to blind people to consequenses.  Just root for the good guys and don't let the SECism get to you.  Michigan is moving in the right direction.

41 weeks 3 days ago	Right, I agree wholeheartedly	Right, I agree wholeheartedly with that argument.  I see it as one of 3 possibilities. 1) The better team is not as prepared as the weaker one and the result is an upset 2)Both Teams are equally prepared or unprepared and the probability of a victory is no different than the regular season in which both teams are fully prepared and efficient in their execution. 3)The weaker team is less prepared than the stronger, and gets manhandled more suverely than would have been predicted. I see that scheduling a highly ranked team for the first game has a high risk but also a high reward, and I see it as a case to schedule the best.  While the probability that you loose it badly is high so is the probability of the upset.  There is no better time to take on a better team.  As you say the probability of an upset is high on the first game of the year.  Additionally, you can still have a good season and get to the championship if you lose early in college football.  So what do you have to lose scheduling the best teams?  I'd like to see some huge upsets at the beginning of the year and get our players some action against the best competition in football so that they know where they have to get better.  Also I think losing will leave a bad taste in their mouth and they will work even harder not to lose again.  Then again, maybe i'm a sadist
41 weeks 3 days ago	I don't understand why	I don't understand why everyone thinks we need a warm up game to get a little practice.  If we play a cupcake before a more difficult team they also get a warm up game the first week.  So were both on the same footing no matter what.  This isn't directed at anyone in particular.  I've read several posts recently that express this opinion, and it doesn't make sense to me.  If you think i'm dead wrong i'd like to hear why/how. My wishes --- Play the best to beat the best.  I refuse to believe that hard work by our players will never pay off.  Michigan will be champions again. 1) MAC 2)Alabama, Texas, Oaklahoma, etc.   (not neutral sites) 3)ND' 4) 2nd tier Big East

46 weeks 4 days ago	The Founding (Warhammer 40k)	I just finished The Founding.  It is an omnibus of 3 novels in the warhammer universe written by Dan Abnett.  He is an absolutely wonderful writer.  The founding includes 3 books (First and Only, Ghostmaker, and Necropolis) that follow a regiment of soldiers and their enigmatic leader.  The soldiers are the last survivors of a destroyed world who they fight the forces of Chaos for the God Emporer.  There are at least 10 books in the series, and i have only finished 4 of them.  I am currently on the second of 3 omnibuses (sp?) and i am having a hard time putting them down at night.  I read till 1am every day.  I used to go to sleep at a respectable 11pm.  They are only 15 bucks at barnes and nobles.  So they are easy on the wallet.

I like oberon when in the midwest, but have found that it does not travel well to Phoenix.  It usually tastes burnt so I don't get it.  Two-Hearted and Hopslam (My Fav) are just as good here as in MI.  Has anyone had the same experience with oberon?
