Ok, in that case I'm pretty sure both of them are Jewish. Good friend of mine growing up was a Lithuanian Jew named Goldin, not sure I've ever heard a name with "Gold" that isn't Jewish. Would be cool to see Bear Jew (or maybe Giraffe Jew?) outfits in the Maize Rage!

Goldin and Wolf? I think I…

Goldin and Wolf? I think I heard Goldin is an eastern European Jew (like myself), and Danny Wolf sounds pretty Jewy. Could we have two 7 foot Jews playing center for us? What would the Maize Rage come up with? Could it possibly be even better than Smotrycsz's Lobstrycszs?

Naked mustache guy with a rose in his teeth? I have no photoshop skills, and no mustache, so can't submit it myself.

You always say these are gonna be short. Is that like Portnoy saying “one bite”?

Anyway, I think your posts are the perfect length and I always look forward to them (and I like you better than Portnoy)!

Looks super cool but also potentially quite dangerous coming back down. I assume we would’ve heard about it if someone got knocked out, maybe its wings sprouted and it’s still out there flying to Houston?

Wild Duck Cafe. I’ll be there before the bball game but gotta head back to Portland for the football game. 

It was his dad's;…

It was his dad's; technically he did "move on," but there must have been a transition phase in which the plate was not technically passed forward to the son yet and that's when the other guy was able to claim it. 

Pete was so boring. That's…

Pete was so boring. That's when I gave up on following professional tennis. From then on hardly anyone had any personality, and you could tell almost every successful player (Williams sisters an obvious exception) had been groomed by rich parents and tennis academies and kept away from normal social interaction since the age of 3. 

I think he's actually said…

I think he's actually said that it's something his late father used to say so he picked it up from him. It's just a pet peeve of mine as as a psychologist, as I try to encourage people to be emotionally honest and not feel pressure to always say they are doing well. 

I have a hard time believing…

I have a hard time believing any human being can be doing "shockingly well" every single time he is interviewed, and at that point I question his use of the word "shockingly," but beyond that I've never doubted JUB's integrity or honesty.

Do you use the GPS spoof with YTTV?

I've heard that YTTV is really cracking down and often doesn't work with a VPN

Thanks, looks like for Apple TV I'd have to get a VPN for my computer (not sure that would work with YTTV) and connect my computer to the Apple TV or my actual tv. I'll look into it some more, but sounds like a complicated hassle (can't use my remote control to watch the games either) that may or may not work. 

Sorry, have looked it up and…

Sorry, have looked it up and tried to research but I don't understand it at all.  How would I use this (preferably through my apple tv) to watch and record Michigan and Jets games in Oregon?

Have an iphone, darn.

I assume that would only let me watch live though right? On the west coast I usually don’t have that luxury.

I sorta love her, totally my type. Probably why I'm single at age 44...

The problem is they don’t…

The problem is they don’t know who they are, and they do it all the time. They think they're just being realistic and everyone else is "pie in the sky." They get a kick out of pessimism and being able to say they called it when we lose, then are pleasantly surprised if we win but everyone is happy so nobody calls them out. 

I actually really enjoyed…

I actually really enjoyed this game. We took a punch to the nose at the beginning in an incredibly difficult environment and a bunch of players were super clutch on offense and defense. Dug continues to mature and foreshadow how great he’ll be in his career, Big D had one of his best games of the year, and Bufkin had some really impressive plays too. Team defense was as good as it’s been all year. This was all without our NBA lottery pick. 
 

Seems like every other year for the last 12 or so years we have a very young team that sucks until February then turns it on with clutch play. 
 

That was a HUGE win. Juwan and everyone who played deserves a ton of credit. 

Thank you Seth, great write…

Thank you Seth, great write up. Sad game as our only hope of making the tourney now is winning the BTT. So many close losses and such a young team, hope they learn and grow from it. 
 

And is it me or was this Dug’s worst game if the year? Seemed like he couldn’t do anything at all on offense other than bring the ball up and pass around the perimeter, absolutely zero penetration. 

Hate to say it, but this…

Hate to say it, but this recap is about as lifeless as Michigan was during OT. This game was super important for saving the season and was a heart attack sandwich of a game until the very end.
Sorry Alex, this just seemed super dry, especially for such an exciting and heart breaking game. Was hoping for some comfort, catharsis, maybe humor or even just a cat picture. I miss Brian/Ace/Seth recaps :(

This has been the best…

This has been the best writing in the Michigan blogosphere since Brian mostly retired. Thanks so much for doing it. Good luck with family and sleep, and will look forward to reading your columns when they pop up!

I've had the same issue for…

I've had the same issue for about a year now. Super annoying, takes 60-90 sec to load each time. Never have this issue with any other site, and last time I cleared my browsing data (which is a pain in the butt and messes with my saved tabs and gets rid of private ones) it only fixed the issue for about a week. 

I have no idea why this happens or why it hasn't been resolved yet. 

Did not imagine the qb…

Did not imagine the qb competition could be over this quickly and decisively. Really hope michigan fans show some class and don’t rip into cade too much. Feel terrible for him. But I’ve literally never seen anyone kill it like jj today, even considering the baby seal competition. Not a single mistake or non perfect throw. Sky is absolutely the limit.

Still a little annoyed at…

Still a little annoyed at Brian and about half the fanbase who basically gave up on Harbaugh, Cade, and the team after a weird and disappointing 2020 season and thought we had no chance in 2021. Gonna try to purge that out of my system here and enjoy the shared general optimism for the coming season!

Go ahead and make fun of the…

Go ahead and make fun of the Jets, jerk. But they were super injury plagued last year with a rookie coach and QB, have filled holes with solid players throughout the roster, and had what many people consider the best draft of any team last year. I'm not saying they're gonna win the division but pretty much everyone expects them to be vastly improved. All hinges on Zach Wilson and for me it's a total coin flip as to whether he might be the real deal or a total flop, but to completely write them off because they're "the same old Jets" is just ignorant.

I was sharing YTTV with my sister on the other side of the country and loved it. Then after a few months it started asking if I was traveling, and eventually it booted me. Anyone know a way around this?

Is that why this is the only website that takes like 60-90 sec to load on my iphone (rather than loading instantly like everything else)?

Is that ever gonna be fixed btw?

Exactly. Always good to…

Exactly. Always good to consult with higher ups at an organization before making a big decision. 

This is the best thing I've…

This is the best thing I've read on here in at least a year. Damn, I miss when mgoblog had regular content with humor!

Please write more commentary articles Seth! And maybe enough time has gone by that we can put the feud with WLA to rest if any of those guys need a side gig?

Seriously. Obviously both…

Seriously. Obviously both great athletes with super annoying playing styles and even less respectable personalities. 

Wow you are the bro-iest bro…

Wow you are the bro-iest bro in the history of bros. I’m all for friendly trash talk but it seems like you take it way too seriously. Does your company sell douches? 

Jets fan, and I tend to be…

Jets fan, and I tend to be an optimist for all my sports but I really was impressed, gonna go A-

Not crazy about two Buckeyes but both Wilson and Ruckert seem to have a decent floor and fairly high ceiling. Love that we were able to get probably the top CB, the top RB, likely one of the top Edges, arguably the best WR, and one of the top 2-3 TEs. All positions of need. 

I still have no idea if Zach will be a bust or not, but the front office certainly gave him some tools to work with and the OL should be decent if Becton recovers.

He was awesome in True Romance!

...but yeah, definitely still an idiot.

As a clinical psychologist…

As a clinical psychologist it was great that insurance companies were forced to cover telehealth and lots of folks (especially those working from home) had more flexibility to seek therapy. I also feel like lots of people who never tried or considered therapy before were seeking it, reducing stigma overall and was good for business (I don't even have a website and had a 2-3 month long wait list throughout the pandemic). 

Unfortunately insurance companies still suck and have not raised rates at all (some actually lowered them) despite the increased demand and inflation, and there's talk that some of them may try to get rid of telehealth benefits in the future. More and more therapists are shifting to cash pay only, which sucks for people who aren't rich and work hard to have benefits through their employers.

I imagine we must be the first school ever to send teams to the CFP, MBB Sweet 16, WBB Elite 8, and Frozen 4. Don't have time to do the research, but possibly first school with 3 of the 4 as well?

THE_KNOWLEDGE predicted Sark to be OC for Les Miles before we got RichRod. So maybe his whole space/time thing was just off by a decade and a half?

Are they new this year? I don’t remember hearing of this company before the last few months. And what does “on3” even mean/refer to?

Enough with the BPONE…

Enough with the BPONE already, what a stupid way to go through life. 

And if Harbaugh really is thinking of leaving because he felt disrespected by fans last year, then this would be largely the fault of the BPONE crowd who seem to get some sort of weird kick out of it.
