Maybe his family would prefer to live in California? I know that's got to be a part of the decision making process and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

For some reason this seems fitting. 

Great you see you back Ace…

Great you see you back Ace. Glad to hear you have family and friends to enjoy life and Michigan Football with. Cheers!

Is the amount of Emmys' one has used in the negotiation of a new broadcast deal or is it just whoever has the most money?

What a blog! What a team!…

What a blog! What a team! What a university! Man I just can’t believe it has finally happened. It all came together and Harbaugh made it happen. The perfect team with playmakers at every position, peaked at the perfect time and stayed healthy through it all. It happened, we stayed and we are champions.

Some people can't help…

Some people can't help themselves. They can't hide their true feelings. I'm sure a lot of athletes hold onto these grudges and it helps to motivate them to continue to grind and push to that next level. People like Tom Brady can hide it in an interview and say the right things. Cade doesn't seem to be able to or doesn't care. 

First of all this was…

First of all this was excellent work. Thank you for enlightening us. I've had so much enjoyment reading the blog this season. What a wonderful time to be a Michigan fan. 

I have to give props to the OSU defense. It was clear to me that OSU's defense was simply better than before. They got off blocks, pursued with a vengeance, and made tackles. That reminded me of some of their more dominate teams of the Tressel era. If they had a Tressel running game there may have been a different outcome. I don't think that's how Ryan Day wants to play football though. 

Truth. Damn that was good…

Truth. Damn that was good. Go blue

I wonder how much the hazing…

I wonder how much the hazing scandal played into the shift towards college hockey? Could it be the extra resources that college can provide to them and they're doing a better job of showing that in their recruiting pitches? Perhaps they're just able to actually pay them some money, which took away that advantage from the CHL? Or maybe it's the lack of fighting in the college game that draws these highly skilled kids in? Could be all of it, but whatever it is, I love it.

So what would constitute scouting then?

Ahh yes good ole Peter…

Ahh yes good ole Peter Johnson. He was hilariously suspended for sticking his peter in a few patients and coworkers. I mean it was inevitable.

Hopefully we've hired private investigators to look into Penn State and OSU. 

The-Dude, does this calm…

The-Dude, does this calm some of the worries you have about the position in your Team Michigan VS. the NHL diary? I mean if our goalie can score goals that kinda gives us an advantage over most goalies in the league. I see complete dominance across the board now.

Rest in Peace Bray. I made…

Rest in Peace Bray. I made the mistake of letting my eight year old watch the replay of the last royal rumble while I did work around the house. I came back to check on him and he was visibly shaken. I looked at the TV and Bray Wyatt was on. I had to give him a hug and tell him I'm sorry. He really went all in on that role, but it was a bit too dark for us.  

Come on man. Are you the…

Come on man. Are you the catastrophic police? I'm sure it has been a nightmare for the James family. Is that better? 

What a huge park that was. I…

What a huge park that was. I have a childhood memory from a game where we had an obstructed view. I remember we were moving to try and find a better seat and I found a little spray bottle on the ground, so as a kid I thought I had to spray it. It blew back in my face and I got my first taste of pepper spray.

The Hillcrest Lounge off of…

The Hillcrest Lounge off of M-33 in Rose City. Home of a secret society known as the ooga club. A little hole in the wall where we would take any new visitors to our cabin to be initiated into the the Ooga Club. It always made for a fun night. Unfortunately I think they changed the ORV trails or something and they no longer got that traffic, so they had to shut down. Years of memories gone and sadly I'll never get to initiate my three kids

That birthday distribution…

That birthday distribution is crazy. I remember Malcolm Gladwell wrote about that in Outliers. What a crazy disadvantage it puts those kids at with end of the year birthdays. Surprised some super mom hasn't found a way to even the playing field. Perhaps they just fudge their birth certificate.

I'd like to follow the NHL,…

I'd like to follow the NHL, but I don't have TNT. I watched games all year on ESPN+, but have missed most of the playoffs because I don't have cable. I've ended up watching the NBA a little more because their games have been available to me. Overall I've enjoyed both, but wish I could've watched more. I've been totally impressed with the Heat and Nuggets. The Nuggets are fun to watch and it was gratifying to see them destroy the Lakers. Vegas and Florida have had impressive runs and both have surprised. I knew Vegas was good but I never saw them as this dominant team that is destroying everyone in their way. Props to them, but hopefully Florida makes a comeback, so we can get some more hockey. I always hate when the playoffs end and were stuck with only baseball and MLS. Although, I love me some MLS.

Who needs sponsors now? Soon we'll be watching The Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund Cup. 

Nah, he'll never be in…

Nah, he'll never be in contention for anything, so the few times they do show him you can just turn the channel quick. He's nothing now.

I "cook" on a Weber propane grill. I have a pregnant wife and three kids, so other than my own food I grill everything well done, no pink. There is no skill required and no art to it. I cook the shit out of it and sometimes they eat it and sometimes they don't. Any sign of pink is treated as a life threatening ordeal and it's thrown back on the grill for maximum safety. It's not very gratifying, but  they're all still alive.

Haha so this is Dan Bern's other work? I only know him from the soundtrack of my three year old's favorite show "Stinky and Dirty"

Jamo won't be unveiled until…

Yeah it's too bad Jamo won't be unveiled. They could really use him in this matchup. I hope he won some money. He was probably betting on Bama Baseball

This is such an exciting way…

This is such an exciting way to start a highly anticipated turnaround season. I know a Campbell led squad doesn't need added motivation, but having this matchup in their minds all offseason should really help them focus and push themselves to be ready. You can't assume it will be easy to get everyone on the same page with all of the new players they've brought in, but it's pretty much the same coaching staff and I'm confident they'll have them fired up and ready to face this task. Problem is Reid and Mahomes with be even more prepared. This could be a really fun game though with both teams running unique offenses and both coaches unafraid to throw in a few trick plays.

I like that DTR pick. Nice flyer to take. 

I trust holmes, but I do…

I trust holmes, but I do worry about his propensity to draft players coming off of serious injuries. That's one thing I'll be hoping he stays away from this year. I'd be happy with your mock coming to fruition, although I would love if the took Penei Sewell's brother or that LB from Iowa. 

He's on his way to being the…

He's on his way to being the GOAT. What an unreal talent. The speed at which he does everything is just mind blowing. NHL.com had a pretty cool video of all 60 goals when he hit that milestone a few weeks ago and it was highly entertaining. My favorite one being in OT when he burned the goalie but hit the post on a breakaway, got the puck back ten seconds later and toasted the goalie with the same exact move and buried it top shelf. He makes the other greatest players in the world look like beer leaguers at times.

As a Wings fan I've had very little high end talent to watch ever since Datsyuk was traded to the Yotes, so I find myself watching every Oilers game I can. He just makes me happy and fills the void that the Wings just can't fill. 

Back to the pile!!

Back to the pile!!

I'd assume he'd wish them…

I'd assume he'd wish them all back where they came from. Along, with that annoying thing the yutes are doing nowadays of starting every sentence with "bro". "Bro, did you see that recent post on Mgoblog." "Bro, I did." Bro, I'm scared for our future bro."

Ernest knows a good thing when he sees it. I think we're all going to enjoy the new feature film coming out this fall "Ernest Goes Ham on the B10"

Lions fan here in NW Ohio,…

Lions fan here in NW Ohio, so when I'm not watching the Lions at 1pm on Fox, (west coast or the rare prime time game) I enjoy watching the other lovable losers we're so fortunate to have in our viewing area, the Browns. They have officially lost me. I didn't watch them last year and I have no interest in watching them this year. I hope Watson poops the bed all season. How many millions have they given this guy now before he's even played a productive game of football? You can't call that crap he played last year productive football. Is it up to 100-150mil? Unreal. 

Why do the Pistons like to…

Why do the Pistons like to acquire players that have trouble shooting the basketball? Not you Isaiah, we know you were taught by the best. Also, could you please teach them how to do it a little better?

He's a good fit with Boston…

He's a good fit with Boston and will look pretty nasty in those black uniforms. I'll be rooting for him. If Buffalo sneaks in I'll pull for them, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Bruins and Rangers in the ECF or before that. The Eastern Conference Playoffs should be a blast this year. 

I like the decisions Stevie Y is making. He put it in the players hands, and they were playing great, until they ran out of steam. It's obvious to everyone that they're not there yet and need some serious upgrades in skill. First round picks and cap space will help. It doesn't help that they're in the Eastern Conference which is loaded right now. The timing isn't right yet. 

Seeing Ottawa and Buffalo ahead of them in their respective rebuilds is frustrating to watch. Ottawa had a couple great picks and a few good trades/signings and suddenly are a pain to play against. Buffalo has built through the draft and trades and are building something special. Honestly the Wings feel like they're on their way there though. We just have to hope they strike it big on all these draft picks and eventually they'll be in a position to go sign someone of significance as well.

I like the deal. He's the…

I like the deal. He's the leader of the team and has had back to back great seasons. He just has to stay healthy and Stevie Y needs to start bringing in some elite skill for him to play with. I see them as a group of try hards, who have very little elite skill and almost no ability to stand up for each other, let alone intimidate the opponent. Not really sure what the plan is, but this roster isn't anywhere close to competing with the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference, which is currently loaded. Gotta trust the process though and this is a major piece to lock up and build around.

Perhaps a feeling of…

Perhaps a feeling of invincibility? These are their leaders acting like fools. Way to set an example fellas. 

What a stupid tragedy…

What a stupid tragedy. Alcohol can lead many people to do incredibly stupid things and for some they'll never understand this until it's too late. Stupid shit is fun and cool though, right? I wonder how many other times they did this and made it home alright.

Are you posting in third…

Are you posting in third person now? Getting a little too big for your britches, Alex. I'd say some more recruiting breakdowns. Maybe something on the NHL draft or playoffs with a focus on Michigan players. We've been yearning for an update on Ann Arbor politics. Perhaps a weekly piece titled "This week in MGOBLOG history" where you bring back some stories or posts from the past that shaped the culture of the board or had some historical significance.

Confusing title. So the Titans possess the release but no longer posses Taylor Lewan?

I clicked on this thread thinking it would be an update on your most recent barnyard animal mating results and was deeply disappointed.

They're easy to hate as it's more of a dominating of the bird feeder than just using it. Any other species of bird is forced to wait until their done and they're usually not done until it's gone.

Agree. It was going to be a TD. The only way to prevent the TD was to hold. He had to do it. He got called for it as it prevented a TD. I think the game situation actually demanded that the call be made. He had no safety help and the WR was going to have a walk in TD. Stop with the sour grapes. It's a good call.

Well he is a millionaire and seems to lead a nice life. Acting like a stubborn prick seems to work in our country.
