I'm very excited about Vlad's addition to the roster. He's a game changer.
The bigger issues, though, that nobody is talking about: will the Maize Rage fly a Russian flag at games? We've had Canadian and German flags in the student section to honor other noteworthy international players (also the famous Sweden flag at hockey games).
I've admittedly been using sea salt more and more these days. I should probably get some iodized salt into the mix before my goiter explodes. Or maybe all of the extraneous salt that makes my favorite pretzels so good provides more than enough iodine for one person.
Mel's agent deserves every dollar he got for the con job he pulled on Alan Haller and whoever the President of State was at the moment.
Mel's agent must be so pissed off. They conned MSU into a $95 million guaranteed contract, then see it all wanked away by a truly awful decision by Mel to express himself in an undignified and gross sexual power play to a prominent sexual assault survivor and advocate. I can't imagine Mel's conversation with his agent afterwards.
Hilux is my entry, too. I see those things running in some pretty hellish landscapes worldwide, so it certainly could handle the mean streets of suburban Wisconsin and the two-track roads of the Upper Peninsula with aplomb.
I think [Harbaugh/Moore] has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.
As a taller person, I can guarantee you the I'm standing up as soon as possible to release myself from the medieval torture chamber known as an economy class seat.
And I honestly think that if Howard had just taken a season-long leave of absence, he would likely be coaching next year. A down year is somewhat easier to digest when your coach is rehabbing from major surgery. And some of the in-season dysfunction likely doesn't happen. Maybe this scenario would've just kicked the can down the road for another season, but I think Howard is still the head coach if he would've rested this year.
I keep coming back to Kobe Bufkin when people throw out "where's the player development?" arguments in the past few years. While you may be frustrated at how T Will has (or has not) developed, please remember that Kobe Bufkin morphed from a limited minute role player his freshman year to a mid first round draft pick after his sophomore year. The "there's no growth, no development" argument cannot be applied in a blanket sense. Hell, Franz Wagner developed immensely under Coach Howard's tutelage between his first and second year. Dug McDaniel got thrown into the fire early in his freshman year and showed immense growth.
The current problems: our roster is woefully thin and we play terrible team defense. Those are legit complaints. But thinking that T Will's development (or lack thereof) personifies gross coaching malpractice is not a hill to die on, especially when compared to Livers who was in every way, shape, and form a more complete player and athletically superior than Williams. This is no knock on Williams, but to think that he would've been a legit NBA prospect under different coaching is revisionist history.
The last two years have been immensely frustrating. I get it. But I don't fully understand the "he does not develop players" argument. Kobe Bufkin was a mid first round draft pick after his sophomore year - many so-called pundits around these parts declared him a bust after he struggled in year 1. That is stellar player development.
Other stuff? Sure. I'm as frustrated as everyone. But throwing out blanket statements like "he does not develop players" is mostly feelingsball.
Perhaps this was discussed in previous Harbaugh coaching search threads, but could one James Joseph Harbaugh place a bet on his future coaching position?
My progeny plays OL collegiately and teaches me little things every time I watch football with him. I think we'll devour this content together tonight to see if the version of duo that his team employs matches the intricacies of UM's version (spoiler alert: probably not).
Thanks for the link. When I was younger, my dad gifted me the Detroit News front page poster for both the Tigers and Red Wings championships. I never received a 1997 UM Rose Bowl or National Championship headline poster (screw you split decision Nebraska), so I'm jumping at this opportunity. I'm leaning toward one of each.

Welcome, Terese! No pressure, but I'm expecting nothing less than a $2.75 billion NIL fund to be amassed during the next fiscal year.
jblaze is obviously a paid grill pizza attachment influencer
Vlad gets 25. Wolf 14. WHO WILL GET THAT ONE REMAINING MINUTE?
Cool info.

Yes. Tampering season officially opens after Memorial Day.
This has to be an unpaid internship, right?
Exactly. Thus the agent is really pissed off.

Mel: "Was that wrong?"
Agent: click

He definitely shit the bed at the Battle of Monmouth
As much as I hate the huge asphalt parking lots, Milwaukee Brewers baseball has always been associated with a great tailgating scene.
Is this the appropriate time for me to state my love for the portal? If so, it nicely balances the times I have hated the portal.
+1 for introducing the first (to my knowledge) interactive graph to the MGoBoard!
But that's the point. He spells his name "Mike" but it's pronounced as "Mikey" with that spelling.
My inflamed hemorrhoids have resolved! Happy Friday, everyone.
Great landing spot for JJ. I hope he thrives after the Lions win the next two Super Bowls.
Also Sabb
I'm sure glad that Cade Stover was in Sainristil's zone coverage area of responsibility in the end zone a couple of years ago.
This. Exactly. Look at what Cousins got. If that's what the market bears, then the Lions will need to pay up or get Hendon Hooker up to speed ASAP.
Those were such young and innocent days
I always cringe when I'm driving I-70 in Indiana and see the Tom Raper RV billboards.
It's clear to me that we need to start a new endowment to pay players. And I want this new endowment to be well endowed.
I'm expecting nothing less than a First Battle of Bull Run vibe as picnickers from the big city soak in the action.
As a taller person, I can guarantee you the I'm standing up as soon as possible to release myself from the medieval torture chamber known as an economy class seat.
But did it chock your guff? That's the question we want answered.
2. Buy XM…
1. $732,132.39
2. Buy XM the new sedan that he's been dreaming about

Fartrell Cluggins?
He has Will Tschetter to build around
The Harbaugh family dinner is going to be extremely awkward.
Congrats, Coach Jay Harbaugh!

The best primate candidate out there, obviously.

I'll strongly disagree with this take. Modern training approaches applied to golfing mechanics are incredibly important in today's game.

Very cool to make a big time splash in the NYT, Mr. Cook!
For the love of Jim Harbaugh, let's please end the Justin Feagin titling
I just beveled guilted, thus guaranteeing BCS UFR's.

Thanks, man! Let’s have a peaceful beer between fan bases!

I was thinking the same thing for me. That thing would look like a huge blue serving tray perched on my narrow head.
