MVictors did a whole series on the Little Brown Jug and it pretty firmly establishes that the Jug today is almost assuredly the same one as was left behind at Minnesota in 1903. They also point to the wrong ones in the video, the one on the right is a display replica, the one on the left is the real Jug that's exchanged.

41 weeks 3 days ago It's not quite the same for

It's not quite the same for us and ND. We're locked into nine conference games, so we only have three other games we can schedule on our own. ND is locked into five ACC games but can do whatever they want with the other seven. Over half of their schedule is discretionary versus a quarter of ours.

I would have liked to have seen our home-and-home with Arkansas as well, but our scheduling flexibility is tighter than an independent's.

42 weeks 5 days ago 2011 Michigan vs. Nebraska

The best I ever heard was during the second half of the 2011 Michigan-Nebraska game which we eventually won 45-17. There were a couple of Husker fans sitting right behind me, and to their credit they were still there as the rout was starting to become apparent. For whatever reason, there were a few empty seats here and there in my section, and Michigan fans were occasionally moving from seat to seat working their way to better viewing locations. One of the Nebraska fans loudly said "Man, people sure do get up and move around a lot here." To which an older (probably mid to late 60s) woman decked out in Michigan gear yelled back "If this was a more competitive game we'd all be stayng put!" The whole area erupted in laughter.

A close second was late in the 4th quarter of the wild 2011 Michigan-Notre Dame game. When ND scored to go up with less than a minute left, the ND cheering section at the top of the south end zone began loudly chanting "It sucks/to be/a Michigan Wolverine!" After the epic three-play scoring drive, a great many Michigan fans cheered "It's great/to be/a Michigan Wolverine!" right back at them.

50 weeks 3 days ago Revolutions - from Mike

Revolutions - from Mike Duncan of the excellent History of Rome podcast, he's going through a dozen or so historical revolutions. So far, he's done the English Civil War, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the Wars of Spanish American Independence, and is currently wrapping up the July Revolution of 1830. Next will be the revolutions of 1848, and he has plans to cover the Mexican and Russian revolutions, among several others.

Chewin' It with Kevin and Steve - hosted by two members of Broken Lizard (Super Troopers, Beerfest), they talk about their lives, performing comedy, and working in show business. They tell a lot of great stories, but I think my main takeaway is a pretty thorough understanding of how Hollywood works, both as a business and how movies and TV are made from writing through production, editing, and distribution.

The Greatest Generation - a Star Trek podcast by two guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. Hosted on the Maximum Fun comedy network, the hosts are reviewing every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation from a comedic angle.

More Perfect - from NPR, the hosts cover the history of the Supreme Court of the United States, including little-known cases, intrigue, mutual admiration and hatred among the justices, and more.

The lack of an impactful running game, much of which stems from poor/middling offensive line play.
