My kids are 6 and 8, and until recently we successfully limited their show consumption to whatever they could find in the PBS Kids app. A couple of favorites are Wild Kratts, Ready Jet Go, etc. they’re all somewhat educational and entertaining. They could also have some autonomy cuz we just said choose whatever you want on the app.
I was working at Skeeps during this game. Was pretty full of sparties. I was miserable for much of the game but the emotional swing watching that with lots of msu fans around was incredible
I see some similarities with you, lawlright. I'm 37, two kids, great wife, house, job, lots of good stuff. I've been sober for 18 months. I'm lucky to have never had any medical or legal problems from drinking, but for a long time I sorta felt like I drank too much... trying to escape some tough stuff in 2020 led me to drink more and more: 2-3 nights a week became 4, then 5, then 6. My wife justifiably, thankfully, and graciously called me out about it. I went to an AA meeting via zoom the next day and have been sober since. I dunno if AA is a forever-thing for me (I go to one meeting a week now and I know I'll never be as rah-rah about it as many are). But sobriety's worked well for me so far and is working today as well!
Glad you brought this up, it's still a bit uncomfortable for me to talk about sometimes; I'm no expert but am definitely available to chat if you (or anyone) wants.
oh also, Michigan has not lost to OSU since I sobered up, so I'll do my best to keep that streak alive!
Deep connections with the family indeed -- Given the name & hometown, Chase Pietila is likely a relative (cousin?) of former Wolverine (and short-term NHLer) Dwight Helminen.
Sorta sad to pile on... but I can’t make the game either. Two very affordable tickets to whoever emails me their favorite Michigan moment or whatever will prove you’re a big fan. $20? $40? Make your offer.
Couldn't agree more - great interview and great podcast. Quinn's work at The Athletic is awesome and I'm pumped to read / hear more from Nick now that he's a part of it as well.
I’ll sell my two tickets for Army, Rutgers, Notre Dame, and MSU. Face value or just make an offer. I wanna get them to Michigan fans! Section 40, row 20, seats 31-32.
Glad to be a season ticket holder again for the first time since being a student 10 years ago; excited to make the trip from Chicago a few times this year and pass off other tickets to deserving M fans the weeks we can't make it!
Since Hibbitts has been reported by everyone to be a Preferred Walk-on, seems like this scenario is "You're a walk-on and may have the opportunity for a scholarship any year that one is left over from the scholarship players. This year it's very likely we will have one for you."
The negative way would be "You're a scholarship player!" then two years later... "No you're not any more."
I was at a high school district playoff game he was pitching his senior year. Brighton was playing the team that knocked them out of the playoffs in football a few months earlier (Walled Lk Western I think). Henson struck out the first 20 batters, the last dude bunted and he threw him out at first for the perfect game. It was ridiculous.
Really an interesting (and new to me) way to think about an individual's contributions.
Might be helpful to label the quadrants (e.g., top right = creates for teammates and himself; bottom left = doesn't assist but needs assists).
Also, I'm curious how you arrived at the scale? Would it be possible to make the middle (assist rate of 20, percent of FGs assisted) the national median? Maybe you already did that or something similar...
There's a start-up called Wisely in Ann Arbor that is a super-interesting iphone/android app. The app uses payment data (credit/debit cards) to provide useful info about businesses to consumers. For example, the app tells you how popular the place is (how many transactions), how loyal the customers are (how many repeat transactions), how much most people spend, etc.
It's sorta like Yelp except a better source of truth because it's data driven with actual payment info, so not weighed down by random anecdotes or just made-up reviews.
My freshman year (2002-03), team started 0-6 before a 13 game win streak including the best comeback I've ever seen in a game against the Badgers. Maize Rage was pretty sparse then but proud to say I was in it!
Also a non-bad RPI effect (RPI 134 and Kenpom 147). These are the types of teams I wish we'd schedule non-conference - bad enough to beat by 22 but good enough to have a decent W/L and challenge for a conference title (projected 13-5 in Patriot League, 1 game back from 1st)
One of the major differences between last year and this year is that last year we were close to our ceiling right outta the gate. This year with a freshman PG and former role players stepping into key roles (or trying to?) there should be a lot more improvement over the course of the year. I think. and hope.
haven't been so don't really have an answer for you... but I'm going to London in September and am hoping to go to a Premier League game.
Any recommendations on which London area team would be the best to see? Looks like Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham, and Crystal Palace are home that weekend. I'm a casual soccer fan so I don't have a dog in the fight, mostly interested in experiencing a cool atmosphere...

Michigan - Minnesota 2003.

I second the suggestion of the Michigan Virginia game! One of the first games I sorta remember watching (I guess I was 11)
It is really wild that Pistol Pete attempted 3166 shots in three years and Davis attempted 2987 in five years
I’ve had two tickets for a few seasons now, hoping to upgrade to four. Anyone have a feel about whether that’s feasible?
Wolverine + is not on the list of 4, suggesting it’s less legit than those four?

great lists already mentioned (Friday Night Lights, The Wire, Succession, Lost), I'll add Parenthood as well.
The League was so great. very topical so not sure it'd hold up on a re-watch like most other series, but so so so funny.

College spring break 2005
not as random as it sounds though, she was friends with some of the friends I went with.
ha, i did the same. `why do they keep accidentally calling it fall camp?`
Manti Teo and Lennay Kekua - i know there was a lot of coverage but it'll never stop being hilarious and i would watch a detailed doc on it any day.
hey i'm from there too (Brighton)! he's the right answer but also a couple good UM players Dave Pearson and Clint Copenhaver.
I like Go Blue with Stu (Stu Douglass's podcast). Mostly interviews with current/former players. Moving Screen and The Beat are my favorites though!

Got it, my mistake thanks for confirming!
I think Shareef is Jabri’s Uncle. His dad Amir is the head coach at Kennesaw State.
Yes
Robinson’s quotes about Wagner are awesome - at about the 55 min mark

I had the same thought about him when he committed, and now I feel smart. Yay me!

Would be a reason not to have Max back; they'll give the scholarship to a walk-on, right? Maybe they offered it to Hibbitts for a year.

Seems like it to me, whatcha think?

Custom suit. Pretty sweet.
Was that a part of the Fargas transfer?

We've gone to Mullett Lake near Cheboygan for the past 15 years or so and it's fantastic up there

I first think of Bain & Co, he works at Bain Capital. Either way, darn impressive.
He's going to need to pack on about 100 lbs before challenging for playing time...
