7 hours 13 min ago	My man my MAN!  Truer words	My man my MAN!  Truer words have never been spoken but then again maybe they have.  I was thinking the exact same thing except different in a nice way.  She said it to me the other day when she went all "la-de-da" like she always does when it happens.  It always happens now doesnt it? Who can say who can say righ? Right. So then off she went again and brought it home and then she says to me "hey do you still have it or what?" and I go "have it- of course I have it where else would it be" and she says "right" so I go "right". So maybe I was wrong and I was thinking that the other day too. Right? Right.
14 hours 46 min ago	I went to the ND game in 2006	I went to the ND game in 2006 and domers everywhere were wearing t shirts that proudly proclaimed "Rockne, Parseghian, Holtz & Weiss" Before we stomped their guts out that day they truly thought they had the next great ND coach at the helm.   That's why they overpaid him.
15 hours 55 min ago	Remember when the Black Hawks	Remember when the Black Hawks won like their first 25 games or something this season? Yeah I dont either. GO WINGS GO!
18 hours 43 min ago	Care to she'd some light on	Care to she'd some light on that statement? I've been a wings fan since the days of the production line and roger crozier and I've never felt that at all.
18 hours 47 min ago	But, but he has incredible	But, but he has incredible range as a writer, reporter and personality. Or so I've heard.
1 day 2 hours ago	I'm amazed that anybody is	I'm amazed that anybody is surprised that Hangover part III sucks.  Face it - the key element in the original Hangover was the surprise that audience and each of the central characters shared as they peeled back the past to discover what had already happened.  That is was shared by four people and not just one very hungover individual is a pretty unique concept in both a movie and real life (thankfully).  So to try and repeat something unique destroys the very concept the original was predicated on. Sorry Hollywood but some concepts and some movies simply CANNOT have sequels no matter how badly you want to extend the financial gain of the "franchise".  Would anybody be surprised if JFK II, Sixth Sense II or More Life of Pi would be bad movies?  There simply was no more story to be told or no surprise left to uncover. Nobody should be surprised by the Hangover III being horrible too.  It was destined to be.
2 days 1 hour ago	When Michigan’s band traveled	When Michigan’s band traveled to the Cowboys Classic in Dallas last season for the Wolverines’ game with Alabama, it cost the university an estimated $400,000. The decision to send the band came after heavy criticism when it was announced they would not make the trip.  I'm just counting my blessing that the players and coaching staff still get to go to the away games.  When somebody figures out exactly how much money we'd save by keeping them home we might be in trouble.

And who wouldnt want to play for a fun-loving irshman with a twinkle in his eye like that?  I mean he's practicaly a leprechaun wouldnt you say? Then they get on campus and start practice and then they get to meet THIS Brian Kelly And decide perhaps other schools might be better options for the next four years.
3 days 23 hours ago	One comment in almost 11	One comment in almost 11 hours (ok now two that i've put something in here) has got to be some sort of a record right?  I clicked on figuring the thread had to be locked for some awful thing the OP said but no....it's just a nice, well-researched normal thread that seemingly got lost today in the excitement of Miguel's jumping mishaps and the problems Georgia Tech faces in photshoping. Nice work Blueheron - maybe you should ask the mods to move this to the diary's as it's pretty good stuff you've put together here that certainly warrants more attention than it's recieved IMO.

4 days 1 hour ago	"Plenty of Wolverines on the	"Plenty of Wolverines on the Lions" - can you take at stab at identifying those that they drafted cause I'd love to hear which ones you are referring to. And they wanted to draft Denard but what?  They forgot to do so for the first four rounds and it only dawned on them after the first 134 players had been taken that he was still available?
4 days 1 hour ago	I dont know what the deal is	I dont know what the deal is but it sure seems like in my lifetime the Detroit pro teams seem to avoid Michigan players like the plague.  They dont mind the MSU guys as much (Kelser, Cleeves, Abdelkader, Stanton, ect) but when it comes to Michigan guys it sure feels like they would rather draft just about anyone else.   Did we piss off the General Managers of the Pistons, Lions, Red Wings en masse at a party or something?  And it's been this way since I was kid in the late 60's so Michigan guys getting passed over for reasons unknown has a LONG history it would seem.
4 days 2 hours ago	I'm guessing these "things"	I'm guessing these "things" are being driven by a bunch of guys my age sitting in a room trying to do something them college kids will think is neat-o.
4 days 3 hours ago	I'm guess a dude about 25	I'm guess a dude about 25 years or so pretending to be someone much older but maybe that just me.
4 days 17 hours ago	Sadly for me as great as his	Sadly for me as great as his career was, the memory that remains burned into my brain when the name Jim Smith is mentioned is not a good one.   Ranked #1 in the country where they had been for the past 8 weeks, Michigan got into a dogfight at Purdue and trailed 16-14 with time running out when Smith got behind the secondary and Ricky Leach dropped a pass right on the money that sadly Smith dropped.   Later in the game we missed (allegedly) a game winning field goal that at least Bob Ufer thought was good and Michigan suffered their first defeat of the season.
1 week 5 hours ago	Thank you guys for	Thank you guys for summarizing and reporting what is being said.  I'm out of state and cant listen on line right now so your posting is much appreciated.
1 week 5 hours ago	Here's another difference. In	Here's another difference. In the Spartan Bob game we 100% would've won had the correct calls been made and the officiating wasnt "questionable" it was out and out wrong.  While the 2006 OSU game was absolutely bigger in scope, the Crable call - even if it's not made - didn't 100% lead to our winning.  The way that game went we might've scored and they probably would've scored right back.  Or we might not have scored at all.  There is no way to know what would've happened in those final three minutes and like you accurately said.  While it was a bad call in Michigan's eyes it wasnt like it was such a terrible call that the term "Spartan Bob" became known nation-wide as slang for insider cheating and the freaking NCAA CHANGED THE RULES on who was allowed to manage the clock during home games.  I'd say a rule change forbidding schools from using locals instead of officials to run the scoreboard is a pretty big damn deal - Crable's hit didnt cause any consternation anywhere outside of Ann Arbor.

1 week 1 day ago	Hmmmm not sure if Crable's	"Worst Call Ever?"  Ahhhhhh youth. And this one too.... And certainly this one.... And while no picture exists that I can find I'd toss in the phantom holding call in the 1990 Rose Bowl that robbed Bo of winning his last game.
1 week 1 day ago	I predict Timmy's going to	I predict Timmy's going to one of those players in a few years where we all say "where the Hell was THAT when he was playing in AA?"  I think he's got all the tools, the right mental attitude and is just a generally good all around person.  I wish him nothing but success and i LOVE hearing that he's doing well in these drills.   As much as I wasnt surprised when Darius went pro too early and dropped to mid 2nd round I predict just the oppostie for THJ.  I think he's coming off the board much quicker than people generally expect and I think he made the exact right choice in coming out now. Good for him.
1 week 1 day ago	I keep holding out for ACTUAL	I keep holding out for ACTUAL throwbacks cause I think we've got some pretty good ones we could legitimately bust out of the wardrobe closet.  In the early 70's we went all white with the away uni's for a couple of years.  I think dressed up with some additional yellow side piping these would look pretty cool AND what satisfy both the tradionalists and the kids wanting something "new".
1 week 1 day ago	You missed absolutely nothing	You missed absolutely nothing by not clicking.  There is exponentially more humor embedded in my comments saying there was no humor than there was in that stupid video.
1 week 1 day ago	As I've said in about 50	As I've said in about 50 other threads...any video posted here with the "this is the funniest thing you've ever seen" or other such hyperbole attached to it will not only not be funny....it will SUCK.  And Liquid Dream is no exception. Anybody saying this is funny either has zero sense of humor, has a financial stake in the video or is high as a kite.  Or all three.
1 week 1 day ago	You are right.  I had it out	You are right.  I had it out and basically pussed out at the last minute and went with the yellow tie cause my Michigan tie didnt go with my black suit. At least that's the story I'm going with.  But truthfully I just pussed out.
