Best option for a charcoal grill is to keep the coals on one side. That sets up two zones that allow for both direct and indirect heat. Burgers can over the coals directly but buns will probably get burned to a crisp. And if you’re grilling vegetables, ribs, chicken, fish, etc., indirect is the best method. Steaks can be seared over direct heat but finish the cook over indirect.
Electric snowblowers don't have that problem. Bought an eGO a few years ago and never had to worry about Sta-Bil in the gas can, oil:gas ratios, or 2-cycle oil again.
Fantastic! Thanks for the tip! My wife and I head over to a GF bakery just south of Windsor (in La Salle) twice a month. Canada is the best place to get amazing GF bakery items.
Pork chops with an herbed cranberry-hazelnut stuffing, scalloped potatoes, and yellow wax beans. My daughter, who is a vegetarian, got a vegan “roast” en croute stuffed the same way as the pork chops.
Same here. My wife learned not long after we got married that I press my own shirts and trousers. Even after 28 years of marriage, I still won’t let her near my clothes.
I suspect that the committee will not have Michigan at #1. Our offense has played like ass for the past 3 weeks. The competition has been much better over the past month obviously, but the issues with the OL are becoming very clear, and the rest of the O looks way out of sync.
My wife and I went through that with her first pregnancy. Although we've had two healthy children born since and both have reached adulthood, there are many days when my wife and I think about what might have been.
In all seriousness, I would have picked Harrison as the favorite to win the Heisman until yesterday. But The Game demonstrated that a receiver, no matter how freakishly good, is rarely a difference maker - he certainly wasn’t, though he had a great game.
"Respect?" That's a bridge too far for the guy who was probably more than a little involved in hiring the PI firm. I'll just refer to him as not entirely irredeemable. Kind of like making the trains run on time,
Their reaction goes back to the days of Woody Hayes who used to say, “No back is worth two fumbles.” With aOSU’s “modern,” pass-happy offense, 11W is just putting their latter Day twist on it.
I have a turkey in the oven and a pork butt off the smoker that I will pull just before dinner. My wife made wild rice stuffing. We're headed over to her sister's house where we'll be with her extended family.
There's so much to be thankful for this year, and the blessings of Almighty God are the source of all.
The whole issue of advanced scouting for the NCAA may turn out much like a study that was once done on pornography. The researchers were trying to determine the porn consumption of men and women, and correlate traits and habits. To no one's surprise except for a closeted research assistant, the study could not find even one male who hadn't watched porn at some point in their life.
I would like to believe that Partridge simply over-reacted, I don’t have any idea what really happened. It’s certainly possible that he was more directly involved with what Stallions was doing. We’ll probably find out eventually - when JUB publishes his next book.
And they will think so because Connor Stalions gave them a reason. If we win this year, their excuses won’t mean much. Lose on Saturday and no amount of proof we didn’t cheat will matter.
Our university is renowned for its many world language programs. I propose at least one sign with "Rece and Paul can go fuck themselves!" in each of 100 different languages.
I considered the B1G's possible move as well. It's definitely possible because the conference and its commissioner have been shown to be petty and vindictive. But if Michigan had won the legal case, PR momentum would have been on its side. If the B1G then punished the team and its players, the optics of that would have been damaging to the B1G and the network execs who bankroll the conference would have gone ballistic.
I had a few hours of windshield time driving home last night after the news broke and I'm in agreement with some here that the only thing that makes sense is that the university learned additional facts material to the case that would be presented in court proceedings either today, during discovery, or at a later trial. Whether the B1G knew those facts or the university learned of them as its lawyers interviewed coaches who would later be subpoenaed doesn't matter.
My own speculation leads me to believe that an assistant did know - at a minimum. It's also possible that an assistant was in some way involved in what Stalions was doing, The only way I can see Harbaugh backing down is to protect the coach from a career-ending, public admission of guilt.
Harbaugh is the one guy I can imagine bearing the burden of suspension for that reason. He's a person of genuinely deep faith and while his values lead him to say things that conflict with the social and political beliefs of many people, it is also gives him a perfect example of taking on the guilt of others and accepting punishment on their behalf. If I'm correct about why the university caved and all parties settled in what appears to be defeat for the plaintiffs, that example he professes to believe in every Sunday (and every other day) could not have been lost on him.
Regrettably, I was having fun with the hot takes part of the thread. Oh well, I’m sure there will be another post soon enough and we can continue where we left off.
Although the manner in which Stalions conducted his "elaborate" sign stealing scheme is - in our collective view as Michigan fans - a distinction without a difference when compared to what all programs have done for years (and was done to Michigan prior to the BCG last year), it was definitely a violation of the rules if Stalions himself attended any games. It's a gray area at best if his friends and associates attended in his place. Do the rules make sense? No, they do not.
The powers that be have no intentions of removing the team from future games or post-season play should tell us all we need to know that this is a Harbaugh witch hunt but the townsfolk are quickly dispersing.
I don't think that can be definitively stated. On the contrary, I suspect that if Harbaugh and U-M prevail in their case on Friday (and thereafter - Friday is just a hearing on the TRO) then the B1G may amend its disciplinary action and suspend the team which is closer to the way the rules are written in the bylaws and Handbook.
This whole "either/or" scenario is idiotic on its face. Harbaugh is an exceptionally important member in good standing of our particular tribe. He's going nowhere involuntarily.
Petitti is the Star Trek ensign in the red uniform beamed down to surface.
I doubt the networks would sit still and just let it happen.
They won't. At a minimum, I'm quite sure that last week's rumor about the Board of Regents beginning discussions about leaving the B1G got those TV network execs to pick up the phone and find out if it was true or not. I can also imagine that some of U-M's very influential alumni might have had a word or two with some of those same network executives.
One of my Dad's favorite sayings is "Money talks, and bullshit walks." U-M represents more money to the networks than any other B1G member not named "OSU." That will do a lot of talking on our behalf.
Good start, but Michigan would place itself in jeopardy with the NCAA by settling first with the B1G because the statement above would be an admission of guilt on the record. If the NCAA could be made to agree that it would not separately pursue an investigation into the matter, then Michigan might be willing to settle.

That sounds to me like a "moral victory."

Where do you get the GF tourtiere?!? My wife has to stay gluten free as well and is 1/4 Quebecois. She misses eating tourtiere at Christmas dinner.

You've got this wrong, XM. You need to buy Mrs. Claus an iron so that she keeps your shirts neatly pressed all year.
And a helmet for yourself to wear. 😏
Cannot upvote this enough. Great job!

Underrated comment. And that outcome would be taken harder than Sherman’s march to the sea.

Good comparison. He will be a very good NFL receiver, but I don’t think he will be a generational talent like Moss.

Weren't you and I going to grab a meal at Polka Cafe a few years ago? Seems like a few of us MGoPoles need to think again about doing that.

Michigan has already sued the B1G - for breach of contract. That's the legal basis for requesting the TRO/PI.
Oh, you sweet, summer child.
Naturally. Are we sure that the "PI firm" wasn't TMZ?
