i guess this is a relatively small sample size but i think 77 is a good Michigan left tackle number... mostly because both jake long and taylor lewan wore/is wearing it and both are beasts, IMO.
i'm a mac user and i love my macbook pro... but realistically, it's really just kind of a "nice toy". i mean, don't get me wrong. it's great, there are some GREAT features on here that i love. stickies are great, automator is awesome, and the computer is soooo user friendly. but i think you could probably download versions of that program for PC too. so i mean i would personally say get a mac but, if you're not 100% sold on getting a mac and spending the 900 extra dollars, it's not particularly worth it.
**edit i know i didn't really make a point that helps you with anything.
haha so i guess to say more, i work in a computer lab at U of M and we have both macs and pcs in the lab. and macs are much more powerful IMO and also have a lot less problems.
... also, troubleshooting on the macs is a lot easier on the macs as opposed to PCs
so watching the highlight videos of steve breaston and dee hart... does anyone else think that dee hart could possibly return punts like steve breaston? because, frankly, another breaston returning punts would be... awesome.
i can't figure out if this was directed at my original post... but i wasn't posting just to bitch. i'm not ignoring the fact that we are there to entertain. but as you should know, we stress musicality in the band because we want don't want to be some other band. we want to be better than other bands that just blare loudly.
and plus, i was really posting to give some insight into some of the band member's thoughts. even if you dont agree
but i'm pretty sure that there is a portion of the audience that is requesting something that we have played. like i know opera wasn't popular, but i'm pretty sure some part of the audience might have requested us playing something more like that.
the audience does not equal the student section. we can't cater strictly to them. we do have people that donate generously to the band and we have to play music that caters to them
so, what, we don't go insane anymore? i'd like to point out we play our hearts out for the team. MSU this past year. i know we lost, but we were right on the sidelines. we were the when we went into overtime and we played our brains out.
and if i recall correctly, we're still playing let's go blue. have you decided to not chant along with us anymore?
like look, i'm not trying to make an argument with you. i'm not trying to bash your comments or anything because frankly, i know there's some truth. i do agree we should be playing more pump up music in the stands [i personally feel that although people do love let's go blue, we play it so much that people just kinda get bored of doing the chant]. but look, we're trying everything we can to get everyone involved. trust me, we've been trying. i think we're looking into possibly boosting the band's volume in the stands? (idk, boerma mentioned something in an email about that, but he never elaborated so i have no clue what he means)
as a MMB member, i'm, quite frankly, offended by the comments of DSU's band being better than us. yes, they played a fun show, but they sounded like crap. i'm sure if all of us in the MMB blasted as loud as we possibly could on our instruments and sound like crap, we could be just as "good" as they were. but as the MMB, we desire to put on GOOD performances that are MUSICAL performances. and, quite frankly, we're all trying as hard as we possibly can to play loud so everyone can hear us.
we work damn hard to make every show sounds good, is musical, and can try to please the musical tastes of everyone in the stadium [and, remember, we're a band that learns a new show for every home game. so, you know, we have five days to learn a new show while also taking a full class schedule]
and if it makes any of you feel any better, this year the shows will be better. boerma's choices for the shows this year is better than last years
from what my boss tells me, if you're running off 2GB RAM you should be okay during gameplay... he had the beta and said that the only problem i'd hit with 2GB RAM might be during the video scenes
i'd have to agree on palahniuk's stuff. his writing style is incredible. i haven't read survivor or rant, but i thought lullaby was a great book.. probably better than fight club, although fight club was a great book
well if you really wanted to go crazy with it, you could put the picture in adobe illustrator and livetrace it, making it a vector image... then you could expand it to as large as you wanted without image loss. but of course, when you're live tracing, you can only get so close....
it'll work... well, probably, but it'll be a pain in the ass. i'm trying to do the same thing with the 1998 SI cover of the michigan national championship
does anybody know the state of michigan basketball recruiting? i know evan smotrycz and tim hardaway jr are committed, but what about trey zeiglar? or are there any top recruits that beilein is looking at?
i honestly believe that our team is going to play tons better next year than they have the past two. i think the fact that they've done so awful the past two years is going to light a fire under their asses and they'll play well.
at least i hope so.

i'm thinking if the maize jersey was the same maize as the pants it wouldn't be all that bad... no? okay maybe not.
i think the "you suck" lyrics are kind of stuck. a bunch of the freshmen only know the song as the "you suck song" lol

well i mean it always helps peoples' opinion of us when our football team wins and does well...

well played, sir.
i totally agree. i hated how the bourne supremacy and bourne ultimatum movies were drastically different than the books
i'd have to agree on palahniuk's stuff. his writing style is incredible. i haven't read survivor or rant, but i thought lullaby was a great book.. probably better than fight club, although fight club was a great book
wale;s a rapper... he performed at the power center back in march
adobe illustrator? yeah it does. it's insanely priced.... adobe's insane.
