The posts or the quarterbacks? Wait...don't answer that.

That's definitely one of my favorite episodes..."Sorry. I am a coyote."

Getting either Rancho Cucamonga or Damore'ea Stringfellow would go a long way toward assuaging the lingering disappointment of not landing one LEVITICUS PAYNE (that's a name that I feel like deserves all caps at all times).
12 weeks 4 days ago This really can't be said

This really can't be said enough. I would argue that these seniors are no less impressive than the football class of seniors that just left us. Thank you Zack and Stu...it's really hard to believe that that was their last home game. The 2008-09 run to the tourney feels like it was only yesterday. 

This was obviously not the outcome that anybody, let alone Zack and Stu, was looking for, but I feel pretty confident that these seniors will take it upon themselves to make sure that the sting of this loss doesn't linger longer than it needs to. There are still quite a few games to win.

SOBOCOP! Yes...I'm glad that has stuck.

20 weeks 6 days ago I was expecting just another

I was expecting just another MSM fluff article, and while it was that to an extent I thought this was one of the best things that I've read over there (i.e. annarbor.com). Good stuff, particularly the part about Borges being a San Francisco Giants fan and somewhat reluctantly comparing Dileo to David Eckstein (GRIT). I can't imagine how fun this bowl trip has to be for Dileo; he hasn't made that many receptions but it seems that almost all of them have been either been touchdowns or big first downs (particularly the long pass against OSU). I hope he has the chance to make some plays playing in front of his friends and family once again.

It's amazing how much better things are now than they were on January 1st, really not at all that long ago. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning.

Jon Falk...what a guy. I'm reading through his book as some rah-rah pre-bowl game reading; it's amazing how many people he knows/people that know him as a result of his long tenure at Michigan. I'm sure he'll be setting up shop at the Rose Bowl very soon once again.

Truly a shame, but if Roy Williams is still on an NFL roster then Braylon will be too. He showed a lot of promise early in his career and he probably still has a couple years or so before the athleticism starts to go (if it hasn't already). Hopefully he can figure it out.
24 weeks 15 hours ago My little brother played

My little brother played travel baseball with him back in the day...getting Jameis to Columbus would be an enormous coup for Urban. I'm not too worried about it, and on the small chance that he does end up there there's nothing to say but "you put your 5-star out there, we'll do the same with ours and let's play." Like someone already mentioned, if he has baseball aspirations then OSU wouldn't be ideal; they've been good of late as far as I know but the Big Ten is a dreadful baseball conference.

Either way, my philosophy regarding all things Urban/Ohio right now is "bring it."

Kork Coupons...lol. Is that a WLA reference or does that come from elsewhere? In any case, the fact that I'm going to get the chance to watch my Wolverines in NOLA after the last 3 seasons kind of makes all the haters completely irrelevant no matter how cogent their arguments (which they aren't, really). This season has truly been TREMENDOUS.
