The pace of the MLB games…

The pace of the MLB games has improved noticably since the pitch clock rules were instituted last season, along with the rules limiting the # of throws to first base. But I'm not in favor of some of the other new rules, especially the extra inning 'ghost runner' rule.

Tree-Mendous Fruit Farm in Eau Claire (Berrien County) was my go-to for hard-to-find apple varieties until they closed about 5 years ago.  I have since moved from that area into the so-called "fruit belt" of West Michigan near GR.  Fruit trees now everywhere.

Apple, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie 🎵🎶

Drop the pecan pie (way too rich!) in favor of blueberry and that is a great list!

My backyard growing up was my grandparents 60-acre fruit farm, primarily apples but also peaches 🍑, tart cherries 🍒, and pears. So I do have some degree of expertise and still know how to make an occasional apple pie.

That said, what's your favorite pie apple Wendy?  I know mine, my mom and grandma had "pie-making" day every fall, when they made a few dozen apples pies for the freezer. Mostly one particular apple 🍎 variety.

Grandpa had nearly a dozen varieties of apples in their orchard but there's a few that were best for pies.

Those are absolutely the top two, even better if you can find true wild huckleberries to use for the blueberry 🫐 pie.  When I was a kid we went into the bogs at my grandparents farm every fall picking huckleberries. So flavorful!

Better Homes and Gardens has one that I believe is much more accurate:

I just happen to trust Better Homes & Gardens a helluva lot more than Google on this.

Update on the "Saban…

Update on the "Saban comments on the state of college sports" thread:

I removed the Barstool link .  As many on the MGoBoard may have noticed already, Seth now describes the barstool situation as a "soft ban": 

"Barstool: People who took the freedom of young internet too seriously because really what they wanted to do the whole time was propagate bad ideas. This one's a soft ban. No beef, but we are on opposite ends of the fan vibe, so if it's being posted there it's unlikely to be welcome here and vice versa."

This being the case, links to barstool will continue to be removed and (whenever possible) replaced by links to legitimate sources.  OTOH, you likely won't be banned for posting barstool links unless it becomes an issue.

In this particular case, I randomly chose the CNN link.  So if you're posting an OP and have your own preference for one media source over another, then please take the time to post that particular link.

No Barstool.

You're welcome to re-post the story, but first find a better source to link. 

And I would highly recommend that you add some commentary to your next opening post.  OPs that include nothing other than a link tend to get ripped into, and rightfully so in most cases.

I fully agree.  As someone born and raised in the GR-area, to this day I also can't refer to so-called Grand Rapids Community College as anything other than Raider High (or sometimes as "JC").

Calvin College just started up a football program, and they probably did so because they learned this topic might someday be discussed on the MGoBoard.

I can't help you with that Sal.  I don't know of any access that would allow me to look up anyone's MGoAccount by their email address.  I'm able to see on my  moderator page the email address an individual used when they created their account. Beyond that, I don't have further access.

Your account has been reinstated.  My advice to you is this: tread into politics at your own risk. When you're tempted to take the bait (as you perceive it), think before you go down that road.

On a positive note, we held Nebraska to 70% shooting in the first half.

Pulleeeze...exactly WHAT in his comment are you claiming as a reason he should be suspended?  

Which one of your responses…

Which one of your responses are you referring to?  There's more than just one comment by you in the thread in which you skirt politics.

More importantly, shouldn't someone with your intelligence level be able to NOT take the bait?

Thanks for the heads up, 'Hanlon' and 'blanx'.  I'll take a closer look when I have time later this evening, but in the meantime, the accounts of both 'Fawkes' and 'Salvatore' are suspended.  At first glance, Fawkes is more likely than not to be a permanent banning.

The answer to your question…

The answer to your question might depend upon his or her intended major.  Michigan Tech is very highly regarded for most of their engineering technology academic programs. At very least, worth consideration if your comfortable with them going to school at a location that is relatively distant and remote to most of the population of Michigan.

I agree, oh Mighty Boosh!

Don---Same thread that seemed to be the main culprit for me.

Seeing you're having similar issues with that particular thread, I may just delete it entirely.

 

[I left the thread on the board for now.  The only glitch I noticed is that if I go to that page using Firefox, I have to sign back in.]

I cleared the cache numerous…

I cleared the cache numerous times yesterday and it seemed to help briefly each time before freezing up again.  I also cleared the cache on my default Chrome browser and on the Google app.  Prior to this, I deleted one of my posts because I hadn't had any problems until I had made that comment and inserted a Saab gif---I thought the gif might be the culprit because that particular thread (the National Championship Rings thread) froze up every time I went to it.   That particular thread is still giving me problems today though.

I also deleted, reinstalled, and again deleted the MGoBlog app; this seemed to help more than anything else I had tried.

About the only other thing I thought about yet trying is to reinstall Firefox or installing some other browser until Chrome is working better.

Will the National Championship 🏆 be at any more Meijer stores? Is there an online schedule of other places where the National Championship Trophy will be on public display?
