Now this is the way to start…

Now this is the way to start a Friday AM. I'll read it again on Monday too! It's great to be! 

I've only been to a few - so…

I've only been to a few - so limited rankings:

  1. Wrigley Field - this was in the early 1990s. Its a classic
  2. Tiger Stadium - Yeah, I'm for the nostalgia
  3. Oracle. Nice newer stadium. 
  4. Citizens Bank Park - Went last summer. Very nice modern park with good city views.
  5. Comerica Park - Much like #3. Nice park.
  6. Progressive Field - Much like #3, but with ohioans, so lower ranked. 
  7. Candlestick (went in the early 1990s). Yeah, that statement about being cold in August. Holy crap. We made the mistake of being in the upper deck. Might as well had been on Everest. 
  8. Tropicana. Just a vapid soulless place. 

My favorite baseball games were always the minor league games. My dad used to take my brothers and me to the San Antonio missions games in the 1980s and my high school best friend and I would go see the South Bend Silver Hawks during summer break. You could interact with the players, play catch on the lawns surrounding the stadium. Great memories.

Very nice job on this. As much as I like correlation, I am interested in finding outliers and reasons for variation. An interesting question: What kinds of things explain the difference between aTm 2022 and Washington 2022? ASU 2022 and Texas 2018? On the surface, all those teams on the bottom are Pac12 teams. Maybe there's bias in the recruiting rankings based on geography? 

Just like with Dylan Rashada…

Just like with Dylan Rashada, it amazes me how many fans are okay with Michigan not getting the Dickinson's of the world when it’s 100% in their control.

#4 has me laughing my ass off this morning. Happy Friday!

Exactly. I believe the…

Exactly. I believe the phrase is "die mad". This has got to be one of the stupidest OPs in a long time around here.

I preferred Tom Manning. He was legit. 

He literally wrote this…

He literally wrote this above: "It amazes me how many fans are okay with Michigan not getting the Underwood’s of the world when it’s 100% in their control". So, yes, that is exactly what the OP is saying.

Absolutely. They were…

Absolutely. They were dominant for a long time... That's why I said recently. They have nothing in the way of offensive talent now (and since before Brady left). 

Minnesota is the spot for…

Minnesota is the spot for any of the QBs - Jefferson and Addison outside and Hock at TE. A solid OLine and an offensive-minded HC. Add to that a suspect D that will keep the offense needing to score... I hope JJ lands there. CHI is going with Williams, WAS is a perennial tire fire, so is NE (recently), and AZ is either trading or getting MH Jr. 

I just did this. Ended up…

I just did this. Ended up with a Ram 1500 (5.7L hemi with eTorque). I chose the Ram mostly for the muscle to tow the RV. 

I'd still rather not.

I have a Ram 1500 and can see most children... LOL. I think no matter what vehicle you have, being careful and considerate is the #1 goal. Inconsiderate drivers chock my guff.

The NIT is also good for showing how asinine the NCAA is for leaving teams like Seton Hall and Indiana State out in favor of teams like Virginia.

I’ve got… UConn vs Arizona…

I’ve got… UConn vs Arizona and Houston vs Creighton, then UConn over Houston. The first couple founds will be a mess. Best time in sports outside of when Michigan is winning the Championship in football, which happened in January in case anyone forgot. I have New Mexico in the S16 with Samford.

Amir Abdur-Rahim. Kennesaw state and USF turn arounds.

Yeah. Who needs facts when you've got the vibe? I like it!

Bo Jackson? Thought he was headed to Auburn.

Hail Yes!

Hail Yes!

Yeah. I believe that as much…

Yeah. I believe that as much as I believe a political candidate. It sounds like they're backing their guy and they'll stick with Pickett if there's no better option (e.g., Wilson or Fields). 

My only reservation about…

My only reservation about him moving up the draft ladder is that the Steelers won't get him and will continue to be stuck in 9-8 purgatory with the likes of Pickett, Wilson, Rudolph, etc.

2. Wolverine. Its great to be!

3. Bain. Dude is a badass

4. Biologically speaking, yes. 

I took a similar game…

I took a similar game-meaningfulness approach:

  1. Bama/ OSU - Rose Bowl and beating the buckeyes at the end of history
  2. Washington - for the Championship
  3. Staee - Burn it down... all the way down. 
  4. PSU - Asked and answered, your honor
  5. Iowa - They just aren't good, but B1G Champs x3
  6. Nebraska beat down
  7. Random B1G teams like Rutgers, Purdue and IU. 
  8. UNLV - Go-go and all that.
  9. ECU
  10. Maryland - The only game I didn't much enjoy this year
  11. ...Probably BGSU as well.

Yes, this seems most…

Yes, this seems most reasonable. Things people seeking clients hate: Negative reviews (Google, etc.) and complaints against their business (Bar, State boards, BBB). You could just contact the firm and ask to drop the bill for the reasons you stated above, or your recourse will be to go public and contact the Bar Association.

Dosage? Can I get some love for MGo PharmDs?

That last place NFL schedule helps too. 

It's changed for me thanks…

It's changed for me thanks to Jordan Acker's post about Harbaugh. At first I was salty and hoped the Chargers would pee on an electric fence, now I wish him success. I also wish he comes back to Michigan as AD in 5 years. In times like these, college athletics need principled people like Harbaugh. 

Your downvotes are not…

Your downvotes are not because you're advocating to give Howard another year, its because you're being a jerk about it. Calling bloggers "wildebeests" and mis-attributing posters with blog writers and telling Seth he should be thankful for your screed is not going to curry favor.  

(No subject)

Daaaaayum. I have a house…

Daaaaayum. I have a house with two acres outside of Tampa and I pay a 9th of that. Plus no state income taxes. 

Wow! Thank you Mr. Acker for…

Wow! Thank you Mr. Acker for such a wonderful insight to your personal relationship with Coach Harbaugh. I highly respect Coach as not only a great football coach, but as a visionary and a highly ethical and intelligent leader.

The one regret, if I may, about him leaving for the NFL is this: "In addition to victories on the field, we will deeply miss his voice advocating for college athletes the way he has." This is unfinished business and I hope one day, after hoisting a Lombardi, he can help to finish that... maybe as Michigan's AD? Maybe that's just a dream.
