Yes, I read the linked article. The rest of it is as problematic as the Bain hilarity. In fact it's creepily inaccurate. If Brian had linked to something equally hilarious about community organizing as it related to college football, and placed another well known politician's picture on the page, would that not be regarded as political? There are lots of people on this blog who know stuff I don't understand. The discussions of IT, math, and engineering are something I never participate in, but read bemusedly. This is something I know of (politics and finance), so I commented. As for the plutocrat, I am now involved in my third startup. Each one hired lots of people. Two failed. The common denominator is we took some sort of financing at each . WIthout financiers we wouldn't have much of an economy. As I said before "things I don't like involving money" =/= Bain, PE, VC, or other financial items. |

And an incorrect understanding of Bain's model, as well. Bain and others generally buy failing companies thru debt, try to improve them (often reducing staff and costs), and sell them later in whole or in pieces when they have become healtier. Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it does. Love Bain, hate Bain, whatever, but Bain and buyouts =/= equal Michigan football. For that matter, "vulture" capital is another thing completely. Big time athletics is changing, and Brian and others (me included) may not like it but it is certainly not "Bain" or "Vulture Capital". That's just lazy.

| 1 year 3 weeks ago | Do you have a link to support |
Do you have a link to support your assertation around the giving habits of rich people and corporations? Because, frankly, the facts don't support your claims. I've worked with big corporations that give for lots of complex motivations, of which tax and PR are certainly included but not exclusive. Corporations are made up of people with a mixture of motiations, as is society in general. On the rich person side, about 10% of major donors ($1MM+) do so anonymously, and many big named donors are identified because they demand results for their donations. Certainly *some* donors give for the PR benefit but no where near the *always* you assert.

Can we get an MGoProfile up in here for Mr RD Tide? I am intrigued by this southern enigma wrapped in a mystery rolled up in moon pies that has joined our little community |

Do you have an opinion on M jersey sales in Ohio you would care to share? |

You had a nice run, but we're back, and it's on, and you return to bitter #2 position in all sports. Thanks! EDIT: I still stand by my original statement. My first double post, whooo! |

Whoops - the LA Alumni group is offering tickets for the last Kings/Wings game of the season featuring a "meet and greet with Jack Johnson". Maybe he'll fly back for it anyway. |

Son of Jorel was a high quality OSU troll in the haloscan days. Used to regale us with stories of his bro-tastic lifestyle |

Hokie fans will be happy to learn that the refs relented and decided to award VT a tie: it apparently ended knotted at 88-88. Who knew Gerg could run two defenses at once? |

Pad level is not low enough, and there are lingering questions about motor too. Seems gritty and coachable with a good frame, however. |

I know, I just couldn't pass up the chance for snarkery. 40 (ugh) will happen to you, too, faster than you know it. I still feel 22 most of the time, except I can't be bothered to listen to new music. I do know who L'il Wayne is, but try to avoid things like that as best I can. |

Rock, you say? I'll have you know I'm current on all the top musicmakers of the day: Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, Sid Plonckman and his Swell Fellows. Only the best ragtime for me. Unless this Cash Money chap has some phonographs for the ol' Edison Victrola, I shant be able to listen. (Side note: were I ever to form a band it would be called Oedipus Rex and the Mothers.) |

Seems about right to me - I recall Saban left MSU because he was epically frustrated recruiting kids to EL. Something along the lines of "to get to EL, you have to drive by Ann Arbor and South Bend from almost any direction" |

This, only more so: 1) South Bend has the charm of a carbuncle on a homeless guy's backside 2) The students are near uniformly upper middle class privledged snots 3) Students are obsessed with dorms. Your social identity revolves around dorms. No, seriously, dorms. 4) The Indiana booze police are jackbooted thugs out to stamp out a good time
