No big deal for me. The primary colors are still maize and blue, in my opinion. There is always some white (towel, socks, etc). If the players like it, then I’m cool.

Forget the game, coaches, etc. Take care of yourself right now- get in touch with those friends and family who you know you can lean on. It will be alright.

My question: there was a lot

My question: there was a lot of hard work done by Anson, Ghindia, et al to get letterman from various eras behind the Harbaugh hire, but I don't recall reading much about reaching out to the players from '07, who seemed the most upset about Harbaugh's academic standards comments. Was that handled by Bill Martin and Lloyd Carr, mainly?

Flew in from California last night, cold weather gear in tow. My wife went to Maryland, so we had been planning this for awhile.

My brother and his wife had their first child today, so I read this and still feel blissful. Yay me!

Maybe I'm getting old, but win some meaningful games before you start antagonizing your rivals. Mike Hart had some right, though it was probably poor sportsmanship, to say what he did. But anyone since, keep your head down and wine the game.

I missed the 1998 Rose Bowl because I was in Australia attending the wedding of my cousin, a cancer survivor. I have no regrets.

Thanks for the update! I would definitely like to order a kit in the fall- you don't see too many out here in Sacramento.

1982 Wisconsin for me. My Dad took me and my younger brother. I was 5. My brother was still in diapers, so we spent a big chunk of the game dealing with diaper changes. I still had a blast.

I wonder if both Florida and Alabama faced similar financial decisions when agreeing to play us in these games.

MSU has a special team this year, and they deserve it. What's better- pounding OSU on the way.

While it's clear to me that some flexibility on Borges' part would be helpful, I'm starting to wonder if the overall youth on offense, and especially the middle of the offensive line, limits his comfort with beating creative.

I hope someone asks Borges

I hope someone asks Borges about this. I mean, why was it not plainly obvious to him that running the ball from the tailback position was not working? It was to a lot of people who, like me, know a lot less about football than he does.

Yup. That was reassuring.

Is there any data to demonstrate any effect of redshirting on classroom performance? I'd like to think that not being on the field for the first year helps these kids transition more easily to college, but I'm not sure.

stadiums

Best: Michigan Stadium. I was a student from 1995- 1999, and memories of those games are some of my most cherished. Next I would have to say AT&T Park- great sightlines, the fans enjoy the game, and the setting is beautiful.

Worst:  RFK in DC. I went to see a Nationals game there before they left for their current stadium. We had cheapo upper deck seats. The game was delayed by rain, during which I ran to the men's room. The upper deck men's room was flood due to rain. It was disgusting.

We should also remember the families of those who have served this nation, and honor them for how deeply personal their sacrifice must be.
