I've been on this site since the Rich Rod hire. I'm not an alum. Just a fan who chose Michigan in second grade because I liked their colors better than Michigan State. Became a diehard after 1997 when I was 10 years old.
Haven't posted much in the last 13 years but this has been my most visited site throughout that time because of the writers of this blog. Amazing content even through the darkest of dark times. I don't feel like this is my championship, but it sure is Brian's, and Seth's, and all the contributors to this blog over the years. Congratulations. What an absolute ride. Tastes so much sweeter because of the road traveled to get here.
I tow a camping trailor and have 3 kids so we went with a SUV instead of a truck for more interior space for everyone. My wife does not like minivans but it wouldn't have enough power to tow what we have anyhow. We have an Expedition.
My ONLY complaint is that they made the damn liftgate and hood out of aluminum and I've had to get both spots stripped sealed and re-painted already. It's only a 2015 and i'm guessing the issue will come back. Gas mileage does also suck.
How did you feel about Fallout 4 after playing it?
I'm with you, Fallout 3 and New Vegas were mind blowing to me. I loved those games and I love anything post apocalyptic. But Fallout 4 just never grabbed me like the previous 2. I think I just expected more growth and evolution and it felt a little stale.
Name: I went to Grand Valley State University where blue is also one of our colors. 86 is the year I was born. Starting to feel like a long time ago now.
**Used to be GVBlue_Is_Still_Blue to signify that while I didn't attend UofM, my alma mater is also blue and that common bond still allows me to be a die hard Michigan sports fan. I changed it to have a more simple name.

Impressive Blimp industry knowledge you have bestowed upon us. There are probably only 17 people people alive who would have known this. Are you one of the Blimp pilots? :)
Best of luck to you, Ace. Thank you for all of your contributions to this site over the years. I learned a lot from your writing about Football and especially Basketball. You are a good man.
This.....tempered my enthusiasm a bit. I was living off blind hope they would be substantially improved because we as fans deserve some good fortune. This information presented does not appear to support that.
I feel sorta dumb asking, but what movies do you consider his best? I haven't seen a lot of his movies (saw lincoln, which was good but I didn't consider it a masterpiece in any particular way).
Definitely jumped the shark for me sometime after Hoke was hired. I think losing the point system was a big turning point. Maybe this place got too popular as well. I started reading shortly before Rich Rod was hired. I felt like I was almost part of a close knit community where everyone wanted to have level headed discussions about things, or share really funny stories. Most people got along just fine and it was totally different than any other message board site I had ever seen. It just doesn't feel that way anymore. I used to post almost daily. Now it is almost never.
According to the twitterverse, we are out of the running on Tulloch. Also heard that the Lions graded Durant higher anyway. No word anywhere on JJ. Nick Barnett wouldn't be bad either at this point, and prolly cheap.
This is a very solid pickup. He can be a solid contributor at the bottom of the lineup. No Aramis Ramirez, but with our offense, we don't necessarily need a big bat. Now let's get a pitcher. I will still pray for Ubaldo Jimenez.
I still never got to see the epic thread a year or so ago with the pics that turned in some of the funniest comments I have ever read here. It was the guy who took the picture with his kids and he didn't have a shirt on. I think he had a massivley hairy chest or something. The pics were taken down very quickly. To this day it makes me sad I didn't get to see it.
I decided in elementary school that I liked UM best because sparty colors sucked IMO. My Dad is a spartan fan but likes to see UofM do well also. One of my grandfathers couldn't care less. The other was a Diehard Roman Catholic Notre Dame Fan. My sisters would lean more toward State. Mom doesn't care. I remember following closely the likes of Brady and Henson first. Best Brady memory was the game against Penn State his senior year I believe. Benny Joppru (sp?) was one of my early favorites after watching a couple of bootleg plays. Tim B. and Mercury Hayes were the first players I remembered. SO many scattered memories (hell, I even liked Tractor Traylor and Avery Queen lol).
I did'nt learn to hate OSU really until late high school. Had a soft spot (due to family) for ND until college and now I hate them second to OSU.
No family lineage at UofM and I did not go there. Always loved and appreciated the tradition and the colors and the sunny day games watching on TV in the fall. Great memories.
I agree wholeheartedly. Nothing better than a WS crown. Super Bowl is great and all, but it just doesn't have the drama of a 7 game series.
Baseball is also the best game to attend on a warm sunny weekend afternoon with a cold beer.
Makes me sad that kids can't even pay attention to the game anymore. Hopefully my son enjoys the game, and I know we will be playing catch in the backyard.

It was the Rich Rod coaching search for me, too. Used to interact more but I have just been lurking for years now.

Too many of you pretending to eat all healthy. Here is my go to outside of normal leftovers:
Ham and Cheese Sandwich
Chips - Whatever kind I have in the house at the time
Couple Fruits (apple and cutie most times)
Fruit snacks
some sort of cookie/dessert
Yes I realize I eat like my children. And I probably would regardless of if I had them or not :)

Good call avoiding Andromeda. Game was not good. I couldn't finish it.
ME 2 is one of my all time favorites and like you said the ending of ME 3 was rough but the game overall was still good.
Similar story with Fallout. The PS3 Fallout games were mostly excellent. Fallout 4 was not great. And I am not buying Fallout 76.
1. RDR is my favorite game of all time. Never played a game before that made me emotional at the end like that
2. Last of us
3. Mass Effect 2
4. COD 4
5. Fallout 3
6. Horizon Zero Dawn

2.)Curry Fried…
1.) Pizza
2.)Curry Fried Rice with Beef
3.) Burger and Fries
4.) Chinese Buffet (just stuffing everything I can in a to go container)
5.) Trinidadian (West indian) Stew Chicken with Baked Mac and Cheese and rice (mix all the chicken broth all over...so good)
I am a simple man, with simple tastes. Honorable mention is oatmeal cream pies
I feel sorta dumb asking, but what movies do you consider his best? I haven't seen a lot of his movies (saw lincoln, which was good but I didn't consider it a masterpiece in any particular way).
My list would be:
Leo
Hanks
Hardy
We can't talk about being top 25 until we beat OSU, MSU etc...
Same issue that plagued the Tigers in the recent "glory" years. Great hitting, Starting pitching. Crappy Bullpen. You can't win without good relievers
Honestly I feel like just reading this thread has reduced my stress level. Animals are the best
Depends what expeirence you are looking for but cannot go wrong with any of these:
1. Glacier - Just beautiful
2. Zion
3. Rocky Mountain
4. Mesa Verde - Very cool Native American history
5. Badlands / Yellowstone
Did not make me feel good. Going to be crippled with anxiety from now until the end of this game
This looks very compelling. Will be nice to get more access to Harbaugh's personaility and those of the players as well.
:)

Asomugha to mouth
Thats a good point. Guess I should have pasted the tweet first because I thought it said beware.
BIG Ten Just tweeted that they are in fact not paying fans to attend. Told fans to beware of the offer.

I love my little pet...so I stroke it, and I pet it, and I masaaaage it, and I love it! I love my little naughty pet, you're naughty!

Well I feel stupid. I read the first one thinking it was the dumbest idea ever by the league. Until common sense kicked in a few seconds later.
I don't even know why I am admitting this.
he is always ready for his next prey so step lightly.

If I was a Sharks fan, I would be ashamed of Joe Thornton. What a bitch.
I met Lloyd Carr once...All I could muster was "good luck this season, coach."

NHL by 1 million miles. NBA is way too predictable.
You would have to fight off every woman on the face of the earth for a spot next to Lloyd Brady.
