Will we ever hear about the other 100 teams?

Can we move the Ravinia crowd to 103rd at Cottage Grove?

That is the most enthusiastic shout-out for Groves that I think I’ve ever seen outside of a Raimi movie.

Ideologies aside, the practical realities of running a campaign --- getting ballot access, hiring staff, getting voter data, etc. --- require a party's infrastructure to pull off effectively.

 

This post is underrated.

Thank you for calling…

Thank you for calling Koonses “some artist’s figurines.” I’m imaging a lander being knocked off course by the force of dozens of balloon dogs exploding in the vacuum of space.

I would trust MichiganNation2 to know what a cease and desist letter looks like, at least. 

Different state, different…

Different state, different area of the law for me, but this seems on target.

Print out this UFR on acid-free stock, get it bound, and have it shelved in the library to be studied by some distracted grad student in fifty years.   

I think its unfair to…

I think its unfair to speculate that Shaw was only interviewed as a "sham." Because that would  attribute discriminatory intent to the organization, I might pause before leaping to that conclusion  

Glad to see someone…

Glad to see someone acknowledge that the 80s existed here. The 86 Game and the Anthony Carter reception game have to make a shortlist. 

For the agents, it’s about…

For the agents, it’s about money. And agents have influence on this kind of process.

I wonder if this is becomes a question about Mr. Ross’ effective tax rate. 

At my point, it’s hard to justify giving to NIL when I can give elsewhere and know that it’s deductible  

I have no idea how that hits at Ross’ income/wealth level. 

Somewhere on this thread…

Somewhere on this thread there's gotta be a first-year law student who just took a final on offers-for-performance and is twitching to sue for you.

I love how quick this blog turned this into a data analysis issue.

Older study shows there is a meanignful, but not overwhelming, advantage to going second.

Morgan got caught up in his brain after the muff, over-compensating on the later punts. How much confidence is there in Morris?

I just assume someone's getting paid -- or at least trying to get paid -- to promote each.

I thought of this when we…

I thought of this when we lined up for the kickoff after the tying touchdown and worried we try an on-sides kick because the universe is probably just a simulation anyways.

I have renamed Semaj Morgan Rhinestone Binkie in my mind.

I prefer this message board to 247’s, because247 has a larger cohort of right-wing trolls that often overtakes threads. 

I also think  247 was a bit too accepting of the more outlandish conspiracy theories surrounding sign-gate.

It's just a convection oven. Use your oven. When you need a new one, get one with convection if you don't already have a fan setting. 

I have no idea what Alabama…

I have no idea what Alabama prosecution practice is, but in the jurisdiction where I work, I've only seen this kind of charge where it accompanies some more serious sex assault or as a plea-bargain down from a greater sex offense. Seems odd to see it as a stand-alone basis for an arrest.   

A football player for…

A football player for Alabama, who Michigan is about to play in the Rose Bowl, got arrested.

Of course its relevant and should be on the board.

Eh. maybe the carrot of possible Big Ten members could get the Florida universtiy system to stop caving on academic freedom issues.

It would take federal…

It would take federal legislation for specific antitrust/labor/title 9 carve-outs. 
 

I worry competent federal legislation is impossible atm

That’s bad. I may have disagreed with OP in that thread but an obvious threat to doxx/harass is far, far out of bounds.

Even if they can hire him,…

Even if they can hire him, wouldn’t there have been a basic NDA in Helow’s contract with M?

Should Helow and Saban be getting letters from university lawyers that start with “we would like to remind you…” and end w “govern yourself accordingly.”?

A formal HR complaint might…

A formal HR complaint might also be used by someone who thinks they're imminently going to be fired, so as to set up leverage for favorable severance terms or create a record for a possible later lawsuit. So I don't think the fact of an HR complaint alone is enough to attribute responsibility.  

Not as concerned about this…

Not as concerned about this as some, because I think it is resolved by careful use of tiebreakers. 

The winner of a late season OSU/UM game will be in the championship most years. If head to head is made a tiebreaker priority, the loser will not because they will have at least one conference loss, and will have lost to the other head-to-head. So in something like this year, an undefeated Washington would have face Michigan in the championship. If you drop out Washington and think about what head-to-head would do, this year it would have been Oregon getting a tiebreaker over OSU.  

(Kinda goofy for 2024, though, wehere we play almost every contender)

Well first, that anyone pushing a false rumor should be purged of clout. Then whoever’s left can give a frank, fair evaluation of performance.
