Blake came around and high-fived all the fans lingering in the stadium long after the confetti fell and most players are back in the locker room. It speaks to the type of person he is. I really appreciate that he remains humble despite his fame and success. His charity work and all-around positive personality are such a joy to witness.
I never thought our D was great - it got gashed many times by lesser teams and we didn't have haymakers you would expect for an elite unit. However, the fools' gold of a run against injured and mediocre teams made me hopeful but the back of my mind I thought this is exactly what would happen if we met with a quality QB. Will it ever change? I dunno but I did enjoy most of the year. So one bad night doesn't negate all of it.
I agree. I don't understand why we kept doing the same things over and over again with little success. OSU played their best game of the season, and unfortunately, we did not.
I saw the need for a much faster secondary and a dline that needs to pass rush better. I couldn't believe how ineffective the 4 man front was today. What did Purdue do that we didn't? Offense was ok, D was a disaster.
I feel like the defense lacked its normal intensity following PSU. Not sure what happened, but the edge was gone in Rutgers, Maryland, and OSU. Still doesn't explain the utter collapse. It was as if there were no defense on the field.
Look I'm a Jayhawk and I don't think he should do it. KU has had one successful season of football due to an excellent QB who was just too short and an under-the-radar RB who went on to the NFL plus the tub of lard coach Mangino. Outside of that year it's a dumpster fire where coaching careers go to die. It's a basketball school and it's not even close.
Ok, am I the only woman responding to this thread?
39 yo, hubby is 41 yo with a baby girl (5 months). Been together almost 18 years, married for 11.
I have been following M football closely since 2003 (when I was in grad school), although I may not make it through every game, particularly snoozers or blowouts where Michigan is losing (better for the heart).
My hubby is completely uninterested in sports outside of a few NCAA BB tournament games, so he lets me watch football games by myself. I scared him in 2015 after the MSU punt misfire. I banged on the wall and wailed in abject agony. He leaves me alone now after that episode.
Took us 3 months for baby to get into a reliable night sleeping pattern with longer hours of solid sleep. It should be easier soon hang on! The first two months are the most brutal.
Most sites have a bottleneck at the database, which seems to apply here. Based on my experience with Drupal, MGo502 is suffering from MySQL limits of concurrency and nonoptimized queries. Every page requires a ton of sql calls to construct but MySQL is not very good at handling high volumes of concurrent queries without more hardware and sharing/load balancing management strategies.
I personally answered the Drupal 8 job ad when it was posted, and Brian said they had already found someone. This was 12 months ago.
If y'all need help please let us know. I run a website that sees highly unpredictable traffic spikes and it an area I can help with. Please fix this site! It's a shame the functionality does not match the quality of the content.
If your group likes art go to the very impressive UM Art Museum with new wing. Then walk through the Law Quad afterwards.
If your group likes science, check out the Chelsea wooly mamoth that just got installed at the Museum of Natural History.
If your group likes archaeology, the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology is great and worth a look.
Did I mention they were all bascially free (they do have suggested ticket prices, donate as you see fit)?
Food wise, tons of good places on Liberty, I'd definitely check out any place between Main and State on Liberty. Other restaurant hot spots are Main Street and South University. Virtually cannot go wrong with choices.
I live within walking distance to the Big House, and you can park on any of the side residential streets off of S. Industrial for free. The farther south on South Industrial the cheaper the $ if you want to do paid parking. Just don't block residential mail boxes, please.
Check out Towsley Museum in Schembechler Hall if time permits. Admission is free. Take a picture with the Bo statue, and the football wall there.
If this has to happen and the NCAA is doing nothing then it sorts out the people who are willing to prioritize their education and being in a clean program over the sort that will take illicit money. It's an integrity filter.

Shocked! Shocked I say.

Take my money!
I got great seats in section 102. I expect it to be a mix of fans, which I'm fine with.
I still don't get it.
WTH?
Why is it always Florida?
TBF 80% of the cuts were from Bill & Ted and the Matrix.
Please make a joke about the Zapruder film in the aftergame column.
Good point, I get 4 hours of my life back as a small consolation. Leaves need raking...
If we are not in it, I am not interested.
Not sure if I should care.

I hate to be the "next year" person, but the schedule looks more favorable and OSU will maybe have a new coach?
You're gonna need a week to watch it all - long vacation? Nice.

Good season, but could have been much more. Sigh.
Ban this guy

True, so many were underthrown, although even the ones that weren't were susceptible to drops today (looking at you Gentry).

How did Ohio State look like worldbeaters this week against our D?
All I want for Christmas is a Bucknut roasted over the open fire.
Can we get an Excel…
TLDR;
Can we get an Excel plot of the change over time or something?
Finally a reason to watch Kansas football instead of just basketball.
Agreed. Guess WR coaching is something else McElwain is adept at.
Lawrence is ok but yeesh. My husband, who was born there, will never go back to live there.

Onwards. Get to #3 and face Bama as the last stop of the Revenge Tour.
I really thought this was referring to the Detroit Lions at first.
Wow, insightful. And it's Warrrinnnnnner.
Curious how much you got it for and what were your seats?
I was unfamiliar with them as well but from YouTube have found out that:
Trace McSorley does the bat swing and salute after a TD.
Saquon Barkley does the windmilling of arms and running around in the endzone after a TD.
Ugh. Get well soon young man.
Only person on Maryland's short list is a good contracts lawyer.
Thanks? It's the hallmark of a good defense, no.

What's so... funny about 'Biggus Dickus'?
I saw on my FB feed that the game has been cancelled. This was posted just moments ago by the Michigan Football account.

Came here just to see what my mom was supposed to delete.
I missed it :(
Well I bought it, signature and all.
Hope to cultivate some of that enthusiasm.
This will be far more valuable than any $200 textbook.

I donated money - hope others do the same.
