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.
Great Houston guide, Coffee_Addict. Thanks for putting this together.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the light rail as a viable mass transit option. I mean, every major city should have such an option to move people efficiently in and out of the city center. But I had wrongly assumed that Houston would scoff at such a notion given its prominence in the petro world. Very cool. My only major complaint - it looks like no connections to the major airports.
I had an amazing Houston area BBQ experience at a gas station/convenience store/BBQ joint near Johnson Space Center. Grabbed a Lone Star from the ice chest, loaded up on a few different BBQ options, and immediately fell in love. Also battled heartburn for 3 days, but it was totally worth it.

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

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.

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.

GO BLUE!!!!!
I AM HAPPY!!!!
GO BLUE!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing for me. That thing would look like a huge blue serving tray perched on my narrow head.
Honestly can't remember. But if it had lots of gas pumps, lone star in a huge ice box, and awesome BBQ, that's the one!
