1 year 22 weeks ago	Both of those pictures are	Both of those pictures are taken from the NW corner (student section). You can see the visitors are on the left/far sideline in both plus you can see the American flag behind the far goal post in both shots.
1 year 22 weeks ago	Both of those pictures are	responded to wrong post
1 year 23 weeks ago	Active Service	If there were an active service member in the area that could go, I'd be willing to pay their way. But I would have to know that the $125 I'm spending is going for that soldier's ticket and not just 1/2 or 1/4 of it. I'd even spend $130 to cover a reasonable $5 administrative cost. I would really love to personally go to this game. But I have too much crap going on over the New Years to make it happen.
1 year 23 weeks ago	Lurking	There are a few of us around, just lurking.
1 year 24 weeks ago	Not the state mammal of Michigan	The wolverine is NOT the state mammal/animal of Michigan. The official state mammal is the white-tailed dear, and there are plenty of those to be found within the state. Just drive any of the interstates and count them laying on the shoulder, or at least what's left of them after they've been hit a few times.

1 year 27 weeks ago	Not the whole movie	He was alive for the first 10 minutes or so.
1 year 28 weeks ago	Agreed	I wonder if the OP knows about the HUGE cheating scandal that rocked the Naval Academy in the 90's. It was alleged to include several member of the football team, including the then star QB.
1 year 28 weeks ago	Championships	There are quite a few championships on the top of that list, too. It all depends on the timeframe you choose to look at.
1 year 28 weeks ago	Agreed	I totally agree his actions were unusual and totally unexpected, too. He'd known me for 20+ years by that point and that I had always been a UofM fan. I really wonder if he was just being obtuse, but he certainly sounded serious. Anyway, I didn't take off the hat and still regularly wear it.
1 year 28 weeks ago	And I grew up in Michigan and	And I grew up in Michigan and went to another state school that didn't gave a D1 football team, Michigan Tech. I started rooting for Michigan when I was about 10 or so during the early Schembechler era and have consistantly supported them since, even when they've been down like the last few years. I ended up marrying a Michigan alumn and my daughter is a freshman there, so I guess I'm sort of legit now. But my wife's brother, who is an UofM alumn, actually questioned my right to wear a Michigan hat a couple of years ago, so MSU fans aren't the only ones who look down at non-alumn fans.
1 year 28 weeks ago	Mandated Reporter	The key is that Joe Pa, like every other employee in education in PA is a mandated reporter. The law basically states that if you have ANY knowledge of physical or sexual abuse of a student, you must report or you can be fired. Joe Pa may be covered because he felt by reporting it to his boss, the AD, he had fulfilled his legally required obligations. He probably should have followed up to insure the proper paperwork was filed with the state and the police, but I'm not sure how the PA law is written, so he may be OK. The AD on the other hand, by taking of over the 'investigation' from Joe Pa has no excuse for not reporting to the police and then he also lied about it under oath. We have a similar law in IL and I had to make a report about something I heard from one of my students when I was teaching. But I didn't actually, officially report what I had heard to the police, either. I tried, but the school's on-site police officer just laughed, so I went to the school psychologist. She ended up filing the required paperwork after talking to the student and his mother. The reason the on-site cop laughed was that I had overheard that one of my students, who was 15, had gone to Las Vegas with his estranged father and his father had hired him a prostitute. The kid's mother did not laugh and I think moved away with her son to keep him away from the influence of his idiot father.
1 year 28 weeks ago	ESPN	Do they also plan to follow the stupidity of last year and put all of these games on ESPN instead of ABC? I'm pretty sure that was the primary reason the bowl viewership was way down last year. I know plenty of people who don't get all of the ESPNx channels since they are on a budget and only get basic cable.
1 year 29 weeks ago	Home fiield advantage	I think it is because Illinois is in Champaign and Ohio is in Ann Arbor. I suspect the lines for both games will have a smal advantage to the home team.
1 year 30 weeks ago	While there were very high	While there were very high expectation for him at the beginning of the season, I'm not sure Carder is even the best QB named Alex in the State of Michgan at this point. Gillett outplayed him in the game, head to head. He did not throw nearly as many times but had almost as many yards and almost the same completion percentage without any picks.
1 year 41 weeks ago	And Ole Miss is #3	And Ole Miss is #3 (AKA University of Mississippi), Vermont is #19, and South Carolina is #20. I'm most surprised UW-La Crosse didn't make it.
1 year 42 weeks ago	I'd have to say 1. Michigan	I'd have to say 1. Michigan - because I grew up there and can't remember rooting for any other team and litstening to Bob Ufer call the games on the radio during the 70's. I am also about to send my daughter there for Mech Eng. 2. Virginia Tech - becouse I received my masters degree from there and I like the workman's attitude of the coaches and players. 3. Michigan Tech - because I received my bachelors degree from there. They don't have a scholarship football team and their hockey team has sucked since John McGinnis died after my freshman year.
2 years 2 weeks ago	I think the whole spanning	I think the whole spanning divisions thing is totally up to the conferences your are affiliated with allowing it. As an example, Michigan Tech 'plays' D1 hockey but they are D2 (GLIAC) or club for all other sports. This may be somewhat of a special case since there is no connection to the D1 hockey conferences and the D1 conferences for other sports. I think EMU dropping to D2 for football and joining the GLIAC makes the most sense. They would have most of their games within a days drive in the same state.
