All the bitching is totally justified and apparently we’re on a treadmill to nowhere but, like an idiot, I’m gonna renew my season tickets like I do every year. Maybe that’s the real problem. There’s not a ton of pressure on the AD to do anything until the money train starts to slow down.
The Miracle on ice was incredible and as a youngster in Canada in 1972, the Summit Series was a similarly iconic sporting event. The ENTIRE country watched Game 8 in which Paul Henderson scored the winning goal with 34 seconds left thereby clinching the series 4-3-1 for Canada. It’s probably the greatest sports memory of my life. In a way it set the stage for the Miracle 8 years later.
Bottom line, any time the Soviets lost back then it was a good thing.
My kids are young. They have no recollection of Michigan being great at football. They have almost never seen Michigan beat Ohio State. One graduated from Michigan, one is now a sophomore there.
Please, please, for the love of god win this game for the children. Mine and those of everyone else who took their kids to games when they were in diapers and raised them in maize and blue clothing their entire lives. I want the children to be happy. Finally.
"Our internal investigation has uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing by Coach Meyer. However, the University takes these allegations very seriously and as such Coach Meyer will be suspended without pay for the first four games of the season. He will return to the sideline on 9/29 when the Buckeyes face Penn State. Out of respect for the privacy of the individuals involved we will have no further comment on this matter."
Assholes.

Read The Perfect Mile or watch his sub-4 mile on YouTube. Gripping stuff. And, as already noted, he did it on cinders (!) with primitive equipment and training techniques. A seminal moment in human performance.
Maybe there was an anomaly in the space-time continuum and we only had one day to prepare instead of one month. It's the only explanation I can think of to explain this garbage.
And ND is ranked in the top 10 because they're ND. Apparently there are a few people out there who support the football squad from South Bend. Misguided fools.
Don't get me wrong - I'll take the win but this appears to be yet another year of lions in September, lambs thereafter. It would be nice to beat the teams we're supposed to beat without struggling.
I contributed a robust "FUCK!" When I thought we got whistled for delay of game. I retracted it when they said a timeout was called just before the play clock expired.
A worthy thread. I went to Normandy 7 years ago with my dad (daddymacdaddy) to see the D Day beaches and cemeteries. We were at the American cemetery on the 66th anniversary of D Day. There were flyovers of vintage aircraft and veterans everywhere - many in uniform and some in wheelchairs. They came from near and far to pay their respects to their fallen brothers all of whose gravestones face west - towards home. If you think watching it in a theater is moving (and it is) then try walking the immaculate grounds of this small patch of American soil in France. It is almost overwhelming. Do this trip sometime in your life. Go with your dad or your son or anyone you love. You will be humbled and thankful for the freedoms we enjoy in this country.

Please be true. I want nice things for the children.

We’ve won more games than Alabama has so far this season. I’ll take it.
Is there anyone who needs s see more? Didn’t think so.

Michigan 24-20.
It'll be something just like this:

One can correctly presume from my join date (and avatar) that I was around in the Haloscan days. A simpler time...

Seems about right.

Yom Kippur falls on Wifeday (or vice versa). It's like an eclipse - probably won't happen again for awhile.
Well DAMN! To say I wasn't expecting that is a bit of an understatement.
Hoops, bitches!
That's how we dooze it! Go Blue!
