12 weeks 2 days ago	Falklands	Were quite the near run thing for the Brits.  If the sale of Invincible, the newer half of the carrier task force, had gone through to Australia, the Royal Navy wouldn't have had a fleet to send to the South Atlantic.  The RN was a shadow of it's strength even in the 1970's, where it had a small force of conventional carriers to project power.  The fight in the South Seas was also a much closer contest than the results indicate.  Had a few of the Argentinian bombs fuses been set correctly for their low level employment,     a couple more British warships would be on the bottom of San Carlos Water, and the expeditionary force would have been forced to retire back to the UK, I'm sure much to the chagrin of Fleet Street, which would have eaten Thatcher alive.
19 weeks 3 days ago	Homage	I like this one, simple, pays tribute to the original blogspot banner.  Plus, the flow.
20 weeks 4 days ago	SSD	If your graphics card is adequate, a solid-state hard drive is by far the best upgrade you can spend you money on.  It will make everything about your computing experience faster and will be very noticable with day to day use.  Good drives from Crucial, Samsung, and Intel are in the $150-170 range now for a 256GB model.
20 weeks 6 days ago	The Little Things	I don't think Denard is good enough at the read part of the zone read to be really really great at it.  It's the small things that other QBs do that put them over the top. I believe Pat White was a better fit in RR's offense.  Watch Taylor Martinez on an inverted veer handoff and how long he holds onto the ball before taking off upfield.  Would be very interesting to see though.  Makes one wonder if Oregon's success would be sustainable without their mastermind.
22 weeks 1 day ago	Delano Hill	Too tall for Cass Tech miniature DB.  Suspect height fraud
25 weeks 4 days ago	Unstoppable	The way both teams were moving the ball and scoring, I just can't see us failing to score there.  Henne's overthrown bomb to The New Math early on also kills me.  A lot of people were blaming the turf but Brian was adamant that Manningham slipped coming out of his break.  It was the difference either way.
25 weeks 5 days ago	Tiresome	It would be fatiguing just shooting that many shots.
26 weeks 20 min ago	*Alleged	*Allegedly killed. Craig James allegedly killed five hookers.  Allegedly.  Five (5).  Dead hookers.        eat that up google search engine algorithm

27 weeks 3 hours ago	Vacation	I need one, plus its Veterans Day tomorrow, will you send me to Bolivia for the day?  I hear its nice this time of year.
27 weeks 4 hours ago	Haloscan	Was amazing, unmoderated, and hilarious.  I miss chunks the hobo and his amazing dream followed by the rude awakening of Bill Martin urinating on him

27 weeks 6 days ago	Hundred Level	When we see JDK and Rey together on the field again they gonna drop 100 on somebody
29 weeks 6 days ago	Android App Freeze	MGoApp has occasionally been brining my OG Evo 4G to it's knees.  Granted, it's getting old, and I'm running MikG 3.11, but it should be able to multitask a few apps just fine, especially pared with ATK.  Sometimes the phone will become unresponsive to any input, refusing to register touches to the hardware buttons.  It's gotten so bad I am intermittently unable to unlock the phone while the app is running and the screen has timed out, forcing me to take the battery out.  Anyone else have a rough time with MGoApp and resource usage?
29 weeks 6 days ago	I don't feel bad for 'tree	I don't feel bad for 'tree about his lack of production because I'm pretty sure he enjoys blocking more than catching the football, especially getting a good shot at somebody every now and again.  Tough dude for a skinny 165lb Purdue commit
30 weeks 1 day ago	Throwaway	I thought the exact same thing seeing the play live, wondering which DB (answer: not found) was athletic enough to sky and reenact the most impressive play of Chuck's career at Michigan.

31 weeks 7 hours ago	On one of the drops he pretty	On one of the drops he pretty much gunned it over the middle to Roundtree, who was at about linebacker depth.  Looked to me like it was thrown unnecessarily hard for the conditions and 'tree just couldn't hang on.  Bellomy probably had a bit of nerves and was throwing as hard as he could, I know I would in that sort of situation.
36 weeks 1 day ago	Red Zone O	I didn't watch the game so maybe this comment is completely useless, but perhaps Coach Rod's team has trouble without the open field in front of him.  Michigan didn't seem to do great in the red zone in 2010 despite putting up tons of yards.  I don't think WVU had trouble putting points on the board inside the 20, so maybe not a negative attribute of the system, but then again they also had Pat White and Steve Slayton.
36 weeks 1 day ago	BSPI	Wisky just got bailed out on a hell of a PI call
36 weeks 2 days ago	My name - Jose Jimenez	"Are you SURE the Navy has Good Pilots? They Call Them AVIATORS In the Navy. They Say they are BETTER Than Pilots!"   Seeing those Scooters trap and the F-8 cat shot is pretty awesome at what was surely one of the best periods of NA
36 weeks 3 days ago	Forgotten War	B-52 in the Korean war?  No sir How about v. MiG-17/21 in Vietnam? MiG-15 v. B-29 in Korea, maybe You go read a book, Heiko!
46 weeks 2 days ago	Wine	WolvinLA2, I read your post, scrolled down some while tossing about your ideas in my mind, and then scrolled back up to upvote it.  Fine metaphor you present.
46 weeks 4 days ago	Results	I was not particularly impressed with Mattison's scheming against Ohio's fairly inept (season-long, speaking) offense.  Granted, they pretty much threw the kitchen sink at us, but the NFL-style calls he made nearly cost us free TD's on a couple occasions, saved only by Miller's misses (I suppose I contradict my original post here).  I actually find this difficult to type as I've been a huge fan of him and think he is probably a key part of Hoke's success.   Hell, I should quit while I'm ahead.  At least he's aggressive, and I haven't seen Chris Graham matched up on Gonzo yet.
46 weeks 5 days ago	If DeVier Posey was returning	If DeVier Posey was returning with Braxon Miller, I think they would have been a force to be reckoned with in the B1G.  I am haunted with visions of Miller becoming Troy Smith's Michigan-killing visage with his superior athleticism and ability to scramble.
