I have 11 grills. I run a BBQ social media page. I have a bias for Weber because I work with them but also they're the best. Haha.

I own four 22" Weber Kettles. It's all you need. I cook wings, steaks to 14-hour brisket cooks on those. Amazing results. That insert you linked to looks good. Otherwise, Hunsaker griddle insert is another great option. You definitely want to get the "Slow n' Sear" for the Weber kettle or Weber's new "Heat Diffuser", if you want pellet-grill easy style smoking. If I had to choose, go with the Diffuser cuz you can smoke wings at high temp too.

The Weber SmokeFire pellet grill is amazing too. It can get put to 600 degrees and sear the piss out of stuff. It also does the usual low-n-slow smoke.

I also own the Weber Summit Kamado (their Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe) and it's also a beast. Probably my favorite grill but definitely way more expensive.

If you're interested in my BBQ page, it's The Kettle Loft

From what I gather on Twitter, that guy who CB'd him to MSU is one of those who throws out wild CBs to get subscriptions, then changes it in the last hour to keep his prediction score high. I wouldn't take that seriously.

He also set his Twitter account to private after the video came out of him running away from the scuffle. The "man" is a coward, in real life and online.

It's the equivalent of the aftermath of a party. Beer bottles and trash everywhere. The lawn is littered with it, except the beer bottles and stuff are message board threads. I think everyone is excited about the win.

Also - this answer from Coach is hilarious. Watched a little Heartland.

How did he and the team celebrate on Saturday night?

“I think everybody kinda did things a little differently. I just went home, had fun with the kids. We just hung out, watched some football, like we always do. My parents came over. It was neat because my parents just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on the 25th of November. So it was kind of a celebration of the game and also my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary over at the house. Katie and I watched a little Heartland. And then went to bed, I got kinda tired.”

Thanks for sharing. I'm…

Thanks for sharing. I'm consuming all the content this week, even coach speak. Lol.

This question might be the worst question ever:

"How important is it for a coach to believe in his offensive system?"

What do they expect him to say? "Not important at all. Who cares about the offense" 

(No subject)

There is no doubt in my mind that if Michigan beats OSU and MSU lost in the B1G CG, Michigan would be in.

Putting myself in their shoes, the science is pretty compelling that COVID antibodies are as effective as the COVID vaccine. Aaron Rodgers has the antibodies. Maybe Trey Burke does as well.

I can understand their thought process. You can throw a rock and hit a story about someone having a poor reaction to the COVID vaccine, why take the risk without any benefit?

No thanks. Cade forced a…

No thanks. Cade forced a ball on the final drive and ended the game. Our defense isn't suited to handle momentum swings like forced ball INTs. I like Cade making the throws the defense gives him. Tom Brady rarely forces a ball. I saw a lot of Tom Brady-esque stuff from Cade in this game. 

Harbaugh hasn't been here a…

Harbaugh hasn't been here a decade. If you want to unfairly bring in 2008-2014 baggage into Jim Harbaugh's coaching tenure, that's on you. I'm expecting a B1G Championship in the next 2-3 years. Next year, this team has the potential to be great. It's not far-fetched.

I haven't moved the goal posts. I said 9, 10, 11 wins, and a B1G Championship/CFP berth every decade. We still have three years left to hit that. I'm not clamoring to fire Harbaugh.

Let me remind you:

2015 - 10-3

2016 - 10-3

2017 - 8-5

2018 - 10-3

2019 - 9-4

2020 - Screw COVID

2021 - 7-1 (Most likely finish 10-2).

That's not a fireable offense, THAT IS MICHIGAN FOOTBALL SINCE THE HISTORY OF FOREVER. WE'RE NOT ALABAMA.

Yes. Next question.

 

Just…

Yes. Next question.

 

Just kidding. I do think this has the potential of a letdown game for MSU. They're coming off a huge win, emotional, hard-fought, and I imagine they have a couple injuries (Nailor, for example). Purdue isn't a pushover. They're better than Indiana and Nebraska, two teams MSU struggled with. This one is on the road. If Purdue can catch them off their game, they can definitely win this one.

You realize we haven't won…

You realize we haven't won the B1G in 16 seasons (and don't look like we're going to win it again any time soon) and have never made the CFP, right? That's the whole problem here, we're not even demanding Alabama levels of success and this program is still coming up short. 

The 7 seasons leading up to Harbaugh were ABYSMAL seasons. Nobody would trade one of those for this season. In the last 7 seasons under Harbaugh, he has come dang close to the B1G Championship in 2016 and 2018. That's pretty dang good. The problem is, you had Saban expectations with the Harbaugh hire and you still have Alabama expectations now.

This is college football, we're all emotionally invested in what is essentially an NFL minor league because of 150+ years of history leading up to this season. Don't shit on this fan base because you've personally decided to be willfully ignorant about everything that makes us care about this stupid sport. 

I'm not being willfully ignorant about anything. The past has sucked but I can still enjoy this season. And this team. A team that's pretty good. And a season that's going pretty good. A lot better than a lot of college football programs right now. I'm just saying, I don't have to be a whiny bitch like the rest of this fanbase and crap on these kids who are pouring their hearts and souls out for our entertainment.

You're crapping on this team, the 2021 team, because you have Alabama expectations.

Have you read this message…

Have you read this message board? Michigan is not allowed to lose games. That's Alabama expectations. But the fact of the matter is that we're going to lose 2 games per year on average. Most college football teams do. Some years we may lose only 1, some years we may lose 3. We're going to trade wins/losses every other year with MSU and PSU because they're really good programs too and we're probably going lose to OSU more often than not because they're at an all-time high.

Michigan is going to beat MSU next year and even the series for Harbaugh. And then we will probably lose the following year. Everyone has the expectation for Harbaugh to be Saban and destroy our rivals year in and year out.

The expectation, whether you want to accept it or not, is for Harbaugh to be Saban and Michigan to Alabama. 

 

Of course, my point was to…

Of course, my point was to enjoy this season and don't ruin it with all this debbie downer BS by dragging the past into it. Each year CAN be a microcosm and it CAN be enjoyable. Saturday was an epic game that didn't go in our favor. The likely scenario is that we will lose to OSU, probably in a spectacular fashion. But getting rid of a winning coach because you expect to be Alabama ain't it.

If you want to pull in the past, don't forget what 2008-2014 was like. We had a winning coach who won, 9, 10, 11 games a year and occasionally won the B1G. He retired and then what happened? I'd take this season over every single season from 2008-2014. 

Ask FSU what happens when they ran a winning coach out of town. How is that going for them? Let's watch what happens at TCU. 

I'm so tired of this fanbase…

I'm so tired of this fanbase. This game is your entire meaning in life and it shows. This is a great season so far. Ask Clemson fans if they'd like to trade places. Ask PSU fans. Or Iowa fans. Or Wisconsin fans.

I am very much enjoying this season and this season of taking a "huge step forward to normal Harbaugh level". Forget the past for a moment, look around the landscape of college football, it's great to be a Michigan Wolverine. It still has the potential to be even better.

Let's just enjoy it. We're not an Alabama dynasty. We never will be. That's not the structure of the University of Michigan. This is our ceiling. 9, 10, 11 wins, with the occasional B1G Championship and CFP berth every decade. We're not going to sell out our academics and empty the money bags to become Alabama.

Ya'll are like the nerd who thinks they can get the hot girl. We can't. Accept that. Enjoy this.

Well, you made a really…

Well, you made a really stupid comment. Michigan did keep the MSU passing attack contained. If that was our stat line for passing, the entire fan base would still be losing its ever-loving mind.

Kenneth Walker and Kenneth Walker alone killed us on Saturday.

I could have done without reading that. You did a little too good of a job and now I'm a nervous bird. I did have wings last night tho.

Thank you. I needed that. Let's hope Seth is wrong about Cade and he is on fire on Saturday.

This is not instilling my confidence in our offense/Cade heading into MSU. /sobs 

That can come back to bite…

That can come back to bite us in the butt. If Cade isn't making accurate throws, the passing game will kill us. I would love to see well-timed play calls for the passing game, that was set up by the running game. I thought the staff did a great job of this against Wisconsin and thankfully Cade was on that day.

I don't know anyone who…

I don't know anyone who intends this to be an entire meal, or queso in general, as an entire meal. Haha.
