It felt very much like that. A la 1980 against Russia. That’s the game of the playoffs, but then still have to finish out to win the whole thing. Which we did!

No. That is, and always will be, Miami of Ohio 2010.

This was Craig’s suggestion and everyone else laughed it away.

Yes. What you’re thinking happened. It’s yes.

Had a rough last game of the year to boot. 

I was there. And you did. In…

I was there. And you did. In addition to this recap, I’ll just say it looked like we were low on gas most of the third. Yes, the goals were ugly for west, but the team also just looked sloppy. Phenomenal first period, second was survival due to Hughes, but third was lifeless save a few minutes. Got a real gift from the Gophers that they committed a penalty with 16 seconds left in regulation giving us the extra man in OT (and an oh so close chance to score with 1 second left in regulation).

I actually think that’s good for Corum. He can probably still lean up by about 10 lbs and drop under 4.5. He’s moldable to what a team needs, and that’s good.

Second only to Plenty O’Toole in Diamonds are Forever (even though her role was very brief).

So evil. And the worst kind of evil because she’s doing it “in the best interest” of her patients.

I actually like it better than Thunderball though. I loved the game he played against Max with the nukes and the shocks. 

Your knees can take a…

Your knees can take a thrashing skiing, your butt and wrists can take a thrashing snowboarding. Either way you’re going to be sore.  But I would recommend skiing. You’ll be able to move on to blues by day two most likely.
 

There is nothing more painful than catching an edge unexpectedly on a snowboard. You’ll either catch the front edge and at best face plant hard or catch your back edge and at best give yourself a good whack of the noggin. At worst much worse things can happen. Wear a helmet!!!!

Thanks.  One year during covid seaon it appears.  No wonder I don't remember.

Can we ask him to sign a non-compete or non-disclosure agreement?

Wasn’t going to be the end of the game. I wa initially wondering the same thing, but Romo explained it was just the end of the first OT quarter if time expired.

Poor Jake. Odds are KC just wins it in regulation if they were forced to go for the TD, but still stings I bet.

I have three home field sweatshirts. All fit and feel a little different, but all are great. My Vermont Catamounts (have family from there) sweatshirt is the most typical type (a little heavier material, not quite as soft), my Michigan (not championship) is lighter and super soft, and my Michigan 2023 NC sweatshirt is somewhere in the middle.

The 2006 Crable late hit. How different the next decade of Michigan football could have been if we had beat Ohio that day.

the picture doesn’t even do the play justice. Trey went straight up. There was zero interpretation to conclude this was a foul, yet conclude the ref did!

I changed mine after that game. My first son was just 18 months at the time and I realized I couldn’t get that wrapped up in sports anymore. I’ve been able to stick to that commitment pretty well. Now that he’s nine it’s fun taking him and my 6 year old along for the sports rides, but doing so with a fairly muted fandom compared to my old self.

If the starters aren’t motivated, that’s on the coach.

What schools are those? Miami, FSU, Clemson, and ND?  Pretty easy for four teams to join in.

Maybe.  But maybe not.  I think Charlie Baker actually wants to fix this.  Whether his head of compliance, who doesn't oversee it, feels the same way is TBD.

The 7 day thing isn’t a state law. It’s a university policy. I wouldn’t worry about it no being posted. There’s also a chance it’s only posted on internal job boards if posted at all.

Something about houses built around the turn of the century. I just don’t care for them. 

Does anyone know if it’s …

Does anyone know if it’s “easier” to get admitted by transferring in from another good/very good school but that’s not quite on Michigan’s level?  That happened to be my route back in the early aughts and I was told acceptance rates for transfers is substantially higher. 

This is a terrible take…

This is a terrible take. Also, the NCAA does not, based on recent history, punish players prospectively. The school could face a fine and Harbaugh could get a specific penalty, but there will not be prospective post-season bans or anything like that.

Not sure why this is being downvoted.

I think that’s because he was on one of the zoom calls. Only Harbaugh got a level one for being not forthcoming.

Because…we’ll never know the details but only having snippets of speculation to share drives clicks even if it’s not a full story.

Jim was gone regardless. We’ll never know the details, good or bad, and it’s not worth caring at this point. Just accept it and move on.

Do you know the difference between revenue and profit?  Lots of bankrupt companies had tons of revenue. I would not be in support of paying Harbaugh $100M to not coach.

Plenty of highlight reels on YouTube. Frankly, I could do without any commentary you’d likely get on a commemorative video. Just football highlights, please.
