I appreciated the detail and thought it enhanced the story.  I'm a white guy who likes to picture things accurately as I read about them.

As soon as you mention “2 OTs” anyone should understand that it would be a close game right?

Okay, but MSU is a lot better than Rutgers, Minnesota, Indiana, Oregon State and Tulane.  Can you imagine Michigan players celebrating on the Oregon State turf the way they did in East Lansing?  Sure, maybe after our big rivalry game this weekend in Piscataway, but not at Tulane.

Sparty has more momentum and gets them at home.

How about

"RUSSIA: FIND URBAN'S MISSING TEXTS"

"RUSSIA,

FIND URBAN'S MISSING TEXTS."

Isn't Michigan tied for #2 if it has the same YPP allowed as Clemson, though?

Seems like all the ties are listed alphabetically.

Give him 25 min, should be good for at least 6.

I saw it last night, and I didn't notice what Melissa McCarthy's character's alma mater was (maybe I missed it).  But in one scene you do clearly see Kristen Wiig's character with a umich diploma.

Given some of their back-story, it's possible both characters went to UM.

It gets a bad rep for tragic reasons, but it feels normal at night.  Parents send teenagers to live there by the thousands, and there's uniformed security on every other corner.

The coaching situation is the bigger problem at SC.

Could see him taking the VT job, or maybe SC.

(South Carolina, not USC.  USC will likely aim higher).

Does any other school treat their football coach like an endowed chair?

Truman = the only true man.  Alone in authenticity.

His friend's name is Marlon, and his wife's name is Meryl -- both named after iconic film actors.

They all think the Badgers lose by 3-8 points.  Vegas predicts 10.5.  I'd guess 13 for a new coach against Saban in Texas.

to raise him up to the level of a Harbaugh QB recruit.

Insightful.

praising his players for their white collar mentality.

Principally for actions he took to address both the Vietnam War and the Watergate Scandal.

is just a bad question.  Everyone knows Harbaugh is the best hire Michigan could have gotten -- trying to make Hoke publicly say so, too, is just demeaning.  A pointless grab for headline fodder.

"Sorry your wife left you.  But isn't her new husband fantastic?  Won't he do a swell job raising your kids?"

My reply was to a comment no longer here.  I did not reply to the math pun.

Talks about balance of academics and athletics.

I like the novelty of that one.  I'm curious enough to tune in.

By far, my favorite screwball comedy about a guy raising a fake baby.

The last US News and World Report ranking of national universities had Stanford tied for 4th (with Columbia and Chicago), USC tied for 25th (with Carnegie Mellon), and Michigan at 29.  

College rankings are only really meaningful to a point, but saying USC cannot match the free world class education Michigan offers is just uninformed.

Points 2, 3, 7 and 10 make a lot of sense, though.

your standard for an imperfect male specimen?  Just curious.

that most of this year's recruiting class hadn't even been born when President Marshall liberated Air Force One from those terrorists in 1997.

It's just someone who spends lavishly; the word itself has nothing to do with going away and returning.

...is MSU's miraculous comeback in the Cotton Bowl two weeks ago.

But you can at least respect a kid for waiting until the verdict comes in before announcing what he's probably felt for some time.  The players who decommit mid-season just added negative press to a bad situation and made it that much more likely that the staff wouldn't survive the season.

This is the more appropriate way to do it, I think.

Way better than flying coach on a private jet.

Much rather have the Cadillac.
