My brother lives in Houston (yay for free lodging!!) and I’ve visited him twice in the last year. Went to Truth for bbq both trips. Amazing. Stacks up with the quality I’ve had in DFW and Austin.

Couldn’t find the equivalent on our sites yet but see below for what I found from Purdue’s site:

WHAT SECTION IS THE PURDUE SECTION AT LUCAS OIL STADIUM?
The designated Purdue sections that the Hayes Family Athletics Ticket Office will allocate tickets in are the following sections: 101, 102, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 208. 209, 210, 211, 212, 307, 308, 309, 310, 401, 402, 403, 407, 408, 409, 410.

Gallon Rise highlights

Got me curious and did a quick search. Gallon still looks good, took me back.

All the under thrown Gardner throws also took me back :).

Lifelong and die hard cubs

Lifelong and die hard cubs fan. Few weeks ago I heard more dire odds against us. Of the reg season wins leaders of the last 3 decades, only the yanks have won 2x. Last time it happened by a NL team was...the Amazing Mets in '86. Brutal.

Tonight is a must win. Kershaw back on tomorrow if they win tonight (or regardless). Need a hero to step up.

School and classes yes, but home travel on days off/weekend. Like any student that goes home to see family, they take advantage of the rare time off. Like the Poggi comment earlier and others, several examples of kids going home.

Agreed. Great question and not dumb at all. Unfortunately think the hedge here is due to the crazies on here that are rough on the crowd. More folks need to realize we are all on the same side.

Thanks so much for purchasing a shirt! Means a lot to our board and, most importantly, the well deserving scholarship recipients!

The typical back and forth

The typical back and forth about rankings is such a tired argument. Look, it's no guarantee but there's a much higher correlation than not...and, most importantly, it's completely fair to at least get excited about. If not, then what's the point of being passionate/excited about sports. No need to be such a grinch.

Bingo, jmblue is spot

Bingo, jmblue is spot on.

You're confusing the subjective vs objective nature of the storyline. You presented the title as if it's the objective nature of the article Ross' quotes.

Look, this is not meant to be the typical grammar/thread police witch hunt that often happens here. This was more a matter of clarification on facts as well as you openly soliciting feedback for how to best post content. Not meaning for this to be personal, just constructive feedback.

Title change or not, I think

Title change or not, I think the OP's assertion is incorrect. From this very brief article, there's no insinutation by Ross that he's saying racism is a deterrent to his business or anything broader/systemic.

His comments simply and specifically point to what he believes was behind the bullying of Jonathan Martin. He was not saying that racism affected the Dolphins' (his business) success...their ability to win...the franchise's profitability...etc.

To the OP -- that's fine for you to have your opinion, of course. But, you overasserted your opinion on this news item/article as if it was an objective fact.

That's a fair point,

That's a fair point, especially in regard to any thoughts of placement on the general site (e.g. below the banner as I quickly suggested).

I think pinning it to the top of the board column would be a bit different given that it's such a big staple of what everyone does/uses on this blog. Sightlines all point to us going to the board.

Think the bigger issue at hand is determining what topics/campaigns/causes are worthy of being "pinned". I would hate for some causes to get this type of love and others to not; that would obviously defeat the spirit of the whole concept in the first place. The Chad Tough campaign just seems to be a slam dunk given how much notoriety it has received as well as the volume of board posts already.

Don't want to belabor the point. Again, just food for thought. Great cause and great awareness building. Thanks for posting.

Think it's great folks like yourself post reminders -- hopefully folks vote, but if nothing else, it continues to bring awareness to the foundation and the illness. 

My apologies if this suggestion has already been raised/discussed before, but is there a way for us to lock this thread atop the MGoBoard column so it stays through the duration of the voting campaign?

Don't want to open a can of worms here, but may be a good thought for similar initiatives as well (especially ones that combine sports + social causes).

Logic being that if the community here values it enough to post it on an almost daily basis, might be worth it to take it one step further. Other thoughts could be to have it embedded as link at underneath the site banner (realize this is a "bigger", formal move but just thought I'd open up the idea for discussion).

Did you miss 2013? 5 in the top 9 and a 6th in the top 25. That class was one for the ages. Same team that beat us in Indy during the elite 8 on that heartbreaking Harrison buzzer beater. Lost in the finals to UConn.

Transfer or recruits...isn't all about scholarship count (which both receive)? Don't think you have that right. Comment about transfers happening is fair though bc that obviously impacts net scholly's.

Picks will definitely help

Picks will definitely help but as much as his defense will get him notoriety, think it'll all come down to what he does on offense & special teams. He'll need TDs on offense (running or receiving) and a few returns, then, of course, a few signature moments a la Woodson's OSU punt return. Scoring, as always, draws the biggest wow factor and serves as the national attention icing he needs on top of whatever he does on defense.

Hoping he gives us 3 reasons on Saturday -- touchdowns from all phases of the game.

1 for his mom, 1 for his brother, 1 for his legacy.

Urbz couldn't have called a worst gameplan offensively. Didn't utilize any of his weapons. Braxton could've been used in Peppers-like ways, he's got a heisman RB, no reverses to guys like Marshall. Terrible. Didn't play to win.

Your normal trolling is stupid but harmless, but to do it here is just garbage.

Can never have too many lineman on either side of the ball. As history has proven, guys will rotate and switch positions all the time. Just need to build quality depth. With good coaching, the rest will shake itself out.

Have the same question. Confident the overwhelming majority did not touch a NFL field (esp bc I don't recognize many names past the first 10).

It's impressive regardless (truly), but if we are talking about training camp invites and practice, then even Hoke and RR's lists will be pretty long too (obviously lacking the top end NFL success though).

Charlie's hometown is next

Charlie's hometown is next door to mine. Having grown up in the area and playing ball competitively all my life (even on M's club team), it's pretty impressive what he and his brother were able to accomplish for Westmont HS. Historically, WHS is not known for being a big athletic school, let alone in baseball. For them to be on the map, it's a major testament to he and his brother, Joe. 

Given the local area connnections, his passing has popped up on my newsfeeds. Nothing but positive anecdotes, thoughts, and kind words about this kid. Such a tragic loss for a kid with tons of potential on and off the field. My brother and I are two years apart...couldn't imagine losing him...sure Charlie & Joe were incredibly close as well. 

My thoughts are with Charlie's family. Hoping the M faithful can rally around Joe now and through his time in Ann Arbor. Will be especially great to see Joe succeed on the diamond.

Even worse, Tim hasn't been activated at all. Wouldn't even be allowed to leave his place on the bench.

There's gotta be more to it. As I shared in the other thread, they gave up a first round pick for him. A lot of talk of him not moving on from the trade, might be an attitude thing. Hope it's something he gets through. Still has a good shot at having a productive career.

Ha, ya know I always wonder

Ha, ya know I always wonder how often others call(ed) him that. Is/was something my closest M friends have always called him. Guessing that it was also a text-related abbreviation we did (recognize "Trey" is only one more character) -- my autocorrect even recognizes the abbreviation properly. Have definitely heard others say it from time to time, but probably safe to say that it's not common.

Cool. Thanks for trolling.

Cool. Thanks for trolling. Because your humor is always top notch, I really loved your work on the ghost peppers and jalapeno peppers comments recently. You have a rare comedic talent.

Now going meta...we're all on the same side on this blog...unless it's needing to call someone out re: outlandish stuff (e.g. bigotry) or accuracy issues, people need to let it go and remember we're on the same side. Go to Columbus or EL if you want mix it up against M fans.

Not sure why this got negged. Think it's a very fair comment. Stribs and Clark have proven that can't hold down the fort consistently. Huge disappointment that Richardson hasn't emerged over the years.
