“University of Ohio State”…

“University of Ohio State” are words that will live in hilarity.  

I've used wire brushes since…

I've used wire brushes since the 80s and have never had a problem with them but recently read in a BBQ forum that nylon brushes are safer--with the metal ones the bristles can supposedly come loose and then become part of dinner, and then become embedded somewhere in the guests. 

Not sure if this is a real thing or just the latest scare tactic to get us to switch, but I have.  

BtW, whatever happened to MGOBBQ?  That was a great feature.  

We all have choices and mine…

We all have choices and mine now is not wasting the next 3:57 of my life watching the rest of this.  What a disappointment this team is.

I'll echo a few things here.  I learned the hard way how to grill over charcoal over many years.  

Indirect cooking is my strong preference unless grilling fish steaks (salmon, sword, tuna) which should be direct and 9-10 minutes per inch of steak for medium rare (turn once).  For not-fish, if you have a Weber kettle, separate the charcoal into two piles on opposite sites and grill indirectly down the middle.  If you're grilling beef, pork, or chicken, you can move them over the charcoal to finish them.  

Invest in a meat thermometer.  It can be your best friend.  

Someone also said don't use lighter fluid and I'd add also those easy-light briquettes.  I agree--it makes your food taste like napalm.  I use an electric starter.  

If you're using BBQ sauce, don't apply it until the end.  A bottle of that stuff has enough BTUs to launch the space shuttle and if you apply it too early you're calling Domino's.

Last night I thought we have a ways to go to beat teams like MN.  Tonight I think we could beat any team on any given night.  Reality is probably halfway in-between, but it’s looking better.  Go Blue.

Love how this team just wants to go on offense.  End of the period they were still pushing.  Defense wins championships but the best defense is a good offense.

This is so sad.  Too young, far too young.  

There’s been a lot of commentary here about the indignity of the prep and of the procedure and all that.  I’ve had two and I agree with those who observe that it is not that bad and certainly preferable to the alternative.  

I had cancer surgery (not colon cancer) 11 months and 1 week ago and so I will go in for my 1-year blood work in about 3 weeks.  Although my case was more aggressive than anticipated, so far I am cancer free and I am exceptionally fortunate because we caught it super early.  My doc, who is a great guy, hadn’t planned on running the test but I insisted because family history.  

You are CEO of your own life, so advocate for yourself when it comes to stuff like this.  Schedule the damn colonoscopy and drink the damn prep like you’re celebrating the wins against PSU, tOSU, Alabama and Washington with the best hooch ever.  Do it for yourself and for your loved ones.  

Fantastic!!!

Yes, thanks Tunneler.  Great reminder of a lot of things that time had pried from my memory, including Katerina Witt’s Cold War-defrosting smile.  

We were newlyweds as well and we were about to buy a house in Ann Arbor for $115k.  The price seemed crazy but now I wish I‘d found a way to buy 10 more.  

Yes, no, no.  

This year…

Yes, no, no.  

This year has been a catastrophe in MBB, but I see no reason to panic in the other two sports.  Arico is great at a school where her sport is #4 behind three pretty big powerhouses. Jury‘s out on hockey but they‘ve been through two huge transitions.  Replacing a legend is hard, and replacing someone who replaced a legend is too.  

And as far as State is concerned, I guess I understand your focus on them just because…but they‘re the inspiration behind Sparty no.  It‘s not easy being Green.  

The team is the Lions.

I subscribe to YouTube.tv…

I subscribe to YouTube.tv and it‘s generally reliable for about 3/4 of the football games, perhaps more, and maybe 1/4 or 1/2 of the hockey games (thank you, Pettiti for relegating us to B1G+).  

Their interface is frankly awful but they have a nifty split screen/multiple games feature that I like when I‘m doing something in the garage and just want to see what‘s going on.  It takes a little while to figure it all out but it‘s not bad once you do.
