and for all or nearly all of the game v. illinois, the sun was out. granted, it was windy and all, but it wasn't an ugly day. we knew what we were headed into though, but proudly claiming my yooper roots, it was no big deal, holy wah!
it was the drive home up north after that game that made that game such a zinger for weather. absolute blizzard, white-out conditions, cars littered on the side of the road the whole way home. i was passing county plow trucks like slalom gates on a ski hill, but we made it home.
i said last season that campbell (MCDC) was the NFL version of harbaugh - took character over flash, toughness over stats, and it paid off big time. i loved his line in the team room, 'these seats are not for everybody'.
was at that NFC champ game in SF. despite the loss, glad that i went. like virtually all of us lions fans (excepting don, who built the pyramids and watched the lions in the coliseum), it was by far the most memorable lions season of my life.
when i played out west i was one of two guys from michigan on the team, the other was our #1 RB who had played at iowa. when it would rain in socal and temps would be in the 40's or 50's, our teammates would complain about the weather. we would shame them mercilessly, using words you cannot say in polite company.
others called you out, not me. i basically asked if you were okay. i didn't neg you, others did. i didn't call you 'so wounded' , 'candyass' or 'an idiot', others did.
you shouldn't be working with children, you have deep issues. you need to be working with a therapist.
you've never had the guts to reveal any of your prior banned user names. you've been around here long enough to know 'talking cars' is a regular OT thread. indeed, close to 200 posts in response. seems to have been well-received.
and if any bit of you manufacturing a 'happy life' is true, please realize that makes what you did yesterday and today that much more bizarre.
look sport, i didn't bring it up, others did. read their comments calling you a 'butthurt candyass'. are they projecting also or just noticing really strange behavior. trying to be serious, you are having a virtual aneurism of unprovoked hate and bizarre behavior. you will note that i haven't neg'd you. i can only imagine what is going tragically wrong in your life and i'm trying my imperfect best to not pile on. the bitterness and disappointment that would drive you to do what you did today for absolutely no reason, i can't fathom it. i remember you did this once last year but were able to gain self-control. try that again. i feel sorry for you. get help. whatever is eating at you is not healthy. try friendships, family, faith, whatever, but get some help. if it's any help, go ahead and neg all my posts if that makes your situation better.
FWIW, we have a herd of ford 1-tons, have owned them for decades, and had to replace exactly one tranny on one truck at about 180K miles in that entire time. anecdotal, i know.
and diesel fuel got expensive because.....'we' decided to tax the snot out of it. makes zero sense.
diesel is easier and cheaper to make (we make it here on the farm), you can use much lower grade crude, provides more energy per gallon, and with the new technologies, burns very clean. still a big diesel fan.
hey WC, are you okay today? something eating at you? you kind of threw a shoe in that other thread. wondering if you got some bad news, something serious.
which comment just caused me to check. it is our friend.....wrestling coach.
i assume he has body parts like tony tiny-bootie, our B10 president. either that, or he is having a really, really bad day and i'd want to be empathetic about that. i doubt it, but i'll hold out the possibility
IIRC you do or did work on the front end of a GM dealership. if i'm right, did you ever get a feel for whether that small diesel was reliable/dependable/worth getting?
dear wife has a diesel truck and likes it a lot. we share a diesel car and she likes that even more. she's a country mouse though, so maybe different than city mice?
and wouldn't you know, when we lived in the UP i owned that nearly exact vehicle. an '88 F350 with added leaf springs (old logging truck, an absolute beast) making it a 450?, with a 4-speed manual, 6.9L IH diesel. rubber floor, plastic seats, creeper gear to go through the woods with, the ultimate hunting and work truck to which i immediately mounted a snow plow. sold it when we had to go back to socal to take care of my inlaws for a few years.
EDIT: and you won't be surprised to know that truck color was blue.
if you're not a rival fan purposefully (though ham fistedly) trying to troll, then you need to seek professional help - and i don't mean that in a snarky way, either.
i don't believe you though. your posting history reveals too much. combined with you join date, you are a previously-banned poster. please give your prior user name(s).
Let us zero this guy out. I’m pretty sure he was over 300 points and is now down to about 100. Come on Mgoblog, do your part, neg this troll into sparty oblivion.
seriously, who urinated in your corn flakes this morning? stop. go for a walk. relax. get your mind off of whatever hyper-negative trash that has filled it. its going to be fine and we will be fine as a program. furthermore, even if that was not true, there is absolutely nothing you or any of us can do about it so don't spend too much time on what you can't change.
it's terrible. we should probably forfeit the next couple of seasons and see if we can get something together for 2026 or beyond. there is no hope, abandon all pretense thereof, and sell your season tickets.
i actually think that if you have a reasonable view of the low western horizon, light pollution won't wipe out the comet. the northern lights, on the other hand, tend to be much more limited.

i only ever played in outdoor stadiums. much prefer them, weather and all.
i have coached in a domed stadium, it was weird. i'm not going to say it was unpleasant, but there is something missing and i didn't like it as much.

O-H---n-o! sorry ohio
Wrestling coach apparently off his meds today. He’s been quiet for months but apparently blew a gasket today. He’ll get over it.

Do you own a forte, or are kicking the idea of buying one around?

no, you actually do need to go 0-60 in 3.2. get to the dealership.

would you get a diesel in a colorado/canyon? looks enticing for a smaller truck and the resulting mpg's.
still have the GTO? what a great car.
yes, you keep your others. A7 is a beautiful car, have been eyeing them myself.
yes, insurance included.
its actually a stealth diesel truck, covered in radar-defeating coating. won't show up on radar, but you might be able to track the heat signature.

Normally, I would ask you to post a picture, but you need an IT degree nowadays to do that. (rabble rabble please fix this rabble rabble)
I think jeep was going with some of the ugliest designs I have ever seen, but lately their newer rides are much nicer looking.

blessings to our jewish brothers and sisters, especially in light of recent events.
poor jv-troll. went from 300+ points to negative something. couldn't happen to a nicer, more subtle, rival fan troll.
now a -38 at 1150 hrs. beautiful.
read jv's prior posts. he's not a concerned fan, he's a troll from a rival school.
Let us zero this guy out. I’m pretty sure he was over 300 points and is now down to about 100. Come on Mgoblog, do your part, neg this troll into sparty oblivion.
Looked at your posting history. Short and pretty much 100% troll. Are you a Sparty or an Ohio fan?

update: comet is bright, but stationary.
what is not stationary is the meteor shower. just watched one cross about 80 degrees worth of the sky and then flame out. pretty cool.
thanks, hank. forgot to mention that.
the moon is up so it might be tough. i checked this a.m. at about 0500 hrs and it was washed out some.
smart aleck. IIRC, you live somewhere near TC - you can easily get to some place with a clear view of the comet, and maybe the northern lights.
i don't ate in a subdivision.
i actually think that if you have a reasonable view of the low western horizon, light pollution won't wipe out the comet. the northern lights, on the other hand, tend to be much more limited.
