18 hours 12 min ago	Eh	I don't know. I think with all the (highly rated and potentially outstanding) tackles we have on the roster, playing LT vs. RT won't matter as much. In the pros guys regularly switch (lots of pro linemen were the best lineman on their college team, and as such played LT) between the two, so I think even if he does move it won't be that big a deal.
19 hours 11 min ago	Not sure	All I got was what I posted above, it's a save the date. As more info comes I'll post it. Typically the AAUM-Chicago hosts events that are open, but more expensive for non AAUM members.
20 hours 16 min ago	Food shouldn't fold	Unless it comes pre-folded like tacos
2 days 17 hours ago	Green is also a noun	(picture of marijuana) Collard Greens counts.
2 days 19 hours ago	Graffiti	A car in Ann Arbor was graffiti'd during an MSU game weekend a few years ago: Spelling is a graduate course in East Lansing
2 days 21 hours ago	Auto Industry	I work in the Auto Industry and EVERYONE is looking to hire. All the big 3 and lots of suppliers too. While new sales aren't quite back to their pre-recession peak, the US is set to manufacture the most cars domestically since 2002. Engineers I talk to at all 3 of the big 3 have told me directly that their groups are looking for more engineers. Indeed.com has thousands of engineering listings, that's a great job site to use. Good luck.
5 days 23 hours ago	Excellent analysis	My guess is you'll want to wait and see what 2013 Devin Gardner does before prognosticating about 2014 Devin Gardner.... but man am I excited that he got that redshirt.
6 days 16 hours ago	If you're playing for Da Bears	Who the hell would you rather have played with!?!?!?! These are the world beaters that the Bears put behind center between Harbaugh and Cutler:   2008 Kyle Orton (15) / Rex Grossman (1) [5] 2007 Rex Grossman (7) / Brian Griese (6) / Kyle Orton (3) [6] 2006 Rex Grossman (16) [7] 2005 Kyle Orton (15) / Rex Grossman (1) [8] 2004 Craig Krenzel (5) / Chad Hutchinson (5)/ Jonathan Quinn (3) / Rex Grossman (3) [9] 2003 Kordell Stewart (7) / Chris Chandler (6)/ Rex Grossman (3) [10] 2002 Jim Miller (8) / Chris Chandler (7) / Henry Burris (1) [11] 2001 Jim Miller (13) / Shane Matthews (3) [12] 2000 Cade McNown (9) / Shane Matthews (5) / Jim Miller (2) [13] 1999 Shane Matthews (7) / Cade McNown (6) / Jim Miller (3) [14] 1998 Erik Kramer (8) / Steve Stenstrom (7) / Moses Moreno (1) [15] 1997 Erik Kramer (13) / Rick Mirer (3) [16] 1996 Dave Krieg (12) / Erik Kramer (4) [17] 1995 Erik Kramer (16) [18] 1994 Steve Walsh (11) / Erik Kramer (5) Comment makes sense to me.

1 week 19 hours ago	Not as cool as beating cancer	The 2 best father's day presents I've gotten my dad are this book: http://www.valorebooks.com/textbooks/webers-big-book-of-grilling/9780811831970#default=buyhttp://www.valorebooks.com/affiliate/url/siteID=x0f6M7?url=http://www.valorebooks.com/textbooks/webers-big-book-of-grilling/9780811831970%23default=buy&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Froogle&utm_source=Froogle&date=06/12/13  Never had a bad meal/dessert/anything from it. Chocolate Cake on the grill! great for anything from basic burgers to full on crazy grilling. Gift #2 was my Sophomore year in high school when I took wood shop. I took my dad's bat from when he played high school baseball (an Al Kaline bat) in to the shop and used it as a template to turn him his own bat. Wood-burned his signature into it and everything. He loves that, and it was fun to make as well.
1 week 19 hours ago	The important question	How many "Swag Mattisons" does Rosentraub get?
1 week 20 hours ago	I LOVED YOU IN WALL STREET
1 week 1 day ago	I did apologize to Brian	But not to Jimmy Johns.
1 week 1 day ago	Sorry for the double post	Here's another of my favorite games:
1 week 1 day ago	Same here	Just finished the first Bioshock a bit ago. Was crazy (Subs!) just downloaded Fable 3 for free, but I think that may take way too long to play through. I think the only games I've paid full price* for recently are the NCAA Football ones and Halo 4. * b/c I usually get a preorder deal of $5-20 off, or include DLC.
1 week 1 day ago	Potbelly Sandwich	Get it with either a Shake or Chili (depending on the weather). You'll thank me.
1 week 1 day ago	Don't eat pork	Thus I personally don't care about their ham. Also, I hate Mayo, which is pretty much all JJs throws on their subs.

1 week 1 day ago	I read the whole thread just to see Chicago Stadium	It was torn down when I was 6, but I remember going to a few Bulls games there and 1 Blackhawks game. During the Anthem at the Hawks' game I remember they put a camera shot of the outside of the building on the jumbotron. We had seats in the upper deck and I thought the building was going to collapse. It shook. it shook on the Jumbotron. The jumbotron itself was shaking. I love the United Center, and Corneilson does an amazing job with the Anthem, but having that memory as a 5-6 year old of Messmer belting out the anthem in the Stadium is something I'm proud to have witnessed. Remember the Roar
1 week 2 days ago	Such a great column	First, 6'4" MLB? Yes Please.   Second, if Jenkins's name was Archer he'd have to play Lacrosse.

2 weeks 22 hours ago	Re: Peppers (Julius)	Peppers is a freak among freaks and is actually listed at 6'7" 287#. He's a big freaking dude Also, he was quite the bball player himself. I'd say that Julius would be a best-case scenario for sure
2 weeks 2 days ago	As long as it's got a cop	As long as it's got a cop motor, cop shocks, etc. just make sure the lighter works
2 weeks 2 days ago	Again, interesting points	But I totally disagree with Consumer Reports handling of their auto recommendations. I have to stop myself because I guess it does work for most people. But to me a car isn't an appliance. Consumer Reports reviews your car just how they would review your toaster. If a car is an appliance to you (get from point A to point B as simply as possible) then it might work for you. And, I guess that does work for a lot of people. But for me, I find their auto reviews awful. Like I said above, C&D is the place to go for auto advice.
2 weeks 2 days ago	Interesting ideas	First, I'll agree that the lines are quite blurred between "Foreign" and "Domestic" at this point. Again, I work for a worldwide auto supplier so I see lots of it firsthand. That said, when it comes to quality, all I will say is do your research and drive multiple vehicles. Most preconceptions aren't valid anymore. I'd say that the new wave of Ford/GM/Chrysler vehicles are up to par with most of the competition, especially for the price. I personally drive a German car (when I bought 4 doors and 3 pedal configurations didn't exist elsewhere) and will probably buy another when it's time, but not without doign lots of research and spending time in vehicle. If you're thinking Camry, drive a Mazda 6, Fusion, and Malibu. See what works for you, what you like, and your budget.
2 weeks 2 days ago	Best places to research	I work for an Auto Supplier and my favorite place for vehicle research is Car and Driver. They're Ann Arbor based, but they also have a great buyers' guide: http://buyersguide.caranddriver.com/ For used cars, depending on your budget etc I can make recommendations, but if you're looking for more kids, don't hate on minivans. They may not be sexy, but they're amazingly practical and if you're like 96% of SUV buyers, a minivan will have all the capability you need.
2 weeks 6 days ago	Best part?	Pryor with the bucket.
3 weeks 6 days ago	This is the clip I wanted to post	And didn't want to search for at work.
