Thank you Brian, Seth, Alex…

Thank you Brian, Seth, Alex and all of the mgoblog staff.  The amount of work you put in during the season is incredible and is a fantastic resource for all of us die-hard fans.  We appreciate everything you do!

Go to Berlin and get a…
  1. Go to Berlin and get a guided tour (or multiple guided tours).  I did one walking/biking tour that was kind of all-encompassing, then I did one that was strictly focused on world war II.  Then, the best one, was a cold war tour where they had a bunch of awesome stories about the stasi and the spycraft that happened in the cold war and the ultimate lead up to the fall of the wall.  That one was best
  2. Get some donor kebab
  3. In Berlin, check out "zur henne", and incredible fried chicken restaurant
  4. Do a pub crawl, but decide if you want to do the one that is more clubby (for the college age crowd) or more just pubs/bars (30s and above).  Super fun
  5. In Hamburg, you should go to the reeperbahn, but watch out!  Weird combination of fun outdoor party street and red light district intermingled together. 
  6. Munich has a ton of awesome beer halls, the hofbrauhaus is the most famous, but there are a bunch of other beer halls.
  7. Every city has great beer gardens, I don’t have a strong recommendation since its been awhile

Alex wasnt that impressed, but he was a True Frosh slotted in very early.  Lots of upside though, welcome to the team!

I dont know how you write this whole article without mentioning how awesome it was when Devin Gardner wore 98 at QB!

Personally, I thought the legends number was really fun and think they should bring it back.  Dave Brandon era was not awesome, but that was a cool wrinkle they had going for a few years.

Couple thoughts:

1) There is a Buffalo Wild Wings about 10 mins from the entrance to Magic Kingdom if you want to drive- I watched a bball game there last February

2) Parks are pretty much out of the question.  I did a NYE pub crawl at epcot 10 yrs ago which was awesome, but none of those bars have TVs.  Also, because its NYE, they'll all have some sort of show going on if they are open late

3) Disney Springs has a bunch of Bars/Restaurants but not that many with TVs- I think Cityworks is the best bet

4) Its possible that some resorts will put up a screen to turn the game on.  They put up screens at Yacht & Beach, Old Key west, Grand floridian, for kids movies every other night, but you'd have to check

5) Bar at a hotel- Art of Animation has a good one and is accessable from the skyliner.  Shula's Steak House has tvs in the bar, but i dont think in the dininig room.  

But seriously, you should just get tix and drive down to the game.  It will be way better

Since schwarzel was the back…

Since schwarzel was the back judge, he could’ve been the “no call” on punt return interference where henning muffed it.  Not a ref expert but would seem like the exact thing the back judge is responsible for.  So, wasn’t consequential since we recovered, but it sure could have been

What about Nefarious Edwardo and friends?

Seth- great post, but what are you using for your smiley-face rankings next to the team offense and defense.  I’ve seen the “data” face  and the nefarious edwardo face, but didn’t see an explanation for what you are using them for?

Get an MTB

One way to get your kids into fishing is to get them a mystery tackle box subscription (mysterytacklebox.com). They have a beginner series which sends them a monthly box of lures, tackle and instructional content, specifically for newbies. Its a great way to get started (beyond the rod/reel purchase)

Tom Brady’s haircut...

Tom Brady’s bangs make him look like Lloyd Brady.

Tattoo of Brian Cook Photobomb, PLEASE

Wisconsin is not a mitten!

Seriously, they actually claim it looks like one.

Me too: Wagner at the 4 for that game?

I wonder if we think about starting Teske at the 5 for games against teams like Purdue that have a huge Ivan Drago esque mofo at center.  Start it as Teske-Mo-Matthews-MAAR-Z.  This would mitigate the risk of Mo picking up quick fouls right out of the gate and would make Haas work for those baskets over someone who can match his size.  Then you can get Mo in more advantageous situations when Drago has to sit.

The only problem is that you really would like your 5 to shoot 3s to draw Haas away from the basket, and I dont think Teske or Davis will be a threat to do that.

Cornerbacks Coach Willie Martinez as Stone Cold Steve Austin

You forgot Thomas Rawls

Starting RB for Seattle, likely to split carries with Eddie Lacy.  Even though he finished his career with CMU, he's still our boy, right?

but he'll be here for 2018 season too

Still my third choice after bamba and alstork, but not a bad option if those dont happen.

Duncan Robinson 2.0

See Kenpom "most similar".  Another deadly 3pt shooter, yes pls.

Why are we boycotting mcdonalds?

Did i miss something?  Because they dont put fat people in commercials?

Why would you want to boycott something so delicious?

One area of advantage: transitions and tos

Ok st seems to rely a lot on transition opptys, they get a lot of turnovers (46th), and play a high paced game (64th). I need some stats gurus to see if that's the truth, but we generally are a very low turnover team, and will limit that part of their game as beilein teams have done in the past. They also depend a lot on free throws (78th) while we are one of the lowest fouling teams in the country (28th). I still worry about their torrid 3pt shooting and o-rebs, but these are two major avenues we should be able to close off. Just gotta box out and close out those perimeter rotations.

Was Austin Hatch on the plane?

THREE plane crash survivals?  I dont even know how to react to that

Walton now 3rd in B1G PoY on kenpom

After his record setting game tonight, Walton is up to 3rd in the kenpom Big ten player of the year standings. Only behind Swanigan and Happ. Great way to finish the regular season!
