38 weeks 19 hours ago	I don't think Seth's issue is	I don't think Seth's issue is with running the I-form in itself, but rather running play action out of the I-form without establishing a run from it first.
1 year 10 weeks ago	Re: think of the children	This has long been the case but now it matters because people have to backtrack on their lame justifications of the previous system. Not to sound like an elitist, but thank Buddha the 'Saturday-only' fans are catching up here and making the current bowl traveshamockery less profitable. I understand the current bowl traditions, and I respect people that want to keep them around because they remind them of their younger years, but I'm unconvinced that they are the optimal way to crown a champion (which to me, should be the priority for something that calls itself a national championship.)
1 year 26 weeks ago	I say this with respect for	I say this with respect for your opinion, but you and I have different definitions of subtle.  To me, subtle are things you might miss unless you're looking closely (eg., piping, or thin stripes at the edge of the sleeve.)   Broad stripes on the top of the shoulder pad?  No way to miss these, thus I consider them a significant jersey change (which I'll consider as long as 1) it's the away jersies, and 2) it happens exactly one time a year.)
1 year 28 weeks ago	Sparty	Sparty... ohh. (knew you had it in you.)

1 year 28 weeks ago	Effff Gary Danielson...	...and his rematch-rationalizing flip-floping ass.  That is all.
1 year 32 weeks ago	734	734
1 year 35 weeks ago	Your thesis hopes Denard	Your thesis hopes Denard slides when he is caught.  Mine is simply that he is not caught.
1 year 37 weeks ago	Pretty sure they're going to	Pretty sure they're going to insist on calling it 'THE Free Tattoo University'
1 year 37 weeks ago	<blockquote>He looke rocky	He looke rocky untrained eye Robbie be following through on his throwing motion Pardon?
2 years 19 weeks ago	Undeserved praise irritates	Undeserved praise irritates the rationalist just as much as undeserved criticism.
2 years 20 weeks ago	Posbangs are an endurance sport	Posbangs are an endurance sport; keep it going.
2 years 20 weeks ago	Consider this	Consider this MGoBlog doing you a favor.
2 years 22 weeks ago	How quickly you forget the	How quickly you forget the shredding accusations (which srsly?) or the buyout lawsuit (likely mandated by the university) or the 'athletes take easy classes' meme (again, srsly?  this surprises you?) or the grossly overestimated practice overages (CARA definition of stretching.)  Yeah, the media had nothing against RRod.
2 years 25 weeks ago	After 10+ years of watching	After 10+ years of watching legal dramas on TV (which is in-fact recognized by some SEC bars) I can comfortably say it doesn't, but shouldn't the "and eventually getting dropped" extricate the University from any culpability?   /Pro-RRod //First slash will probably get me downvotes.
2 years 30 weeks ago	Don't leave a pile of exams	Don't leave a pile of exams in a box outside of your door. Is this relatively new? I feel like this is how I retrieved most of my homework/exams.
2 years 31 weeks ago	"clearly above his head"	clearly above his head I watched the game on a low-quality internet stream, but his hand did not seem to be above his head to me.
2 years 31 weeks ago	I don't remember exactly, but	I don't remember exactly, but I believe there was some luck calculations (ie., points vs. expected points @given field positions, TO margin, etc.) that BHGP shrugged off as nonsense.  Again, this is months ago and I'm not going to bother to find the articles, but I don't remember BHGP presenting anything other than an ad-hominem counterargument.
2 years 32 weeks ago	And Denard really isn't as	And Denard really isn't as fast as a cheetah. Your non sequitur is a non sequitur. Not only is Denard (figuratively) as fast as a cheetah, but our d-backs are as young (figuratively) as veal.
2 years 32 weeks ago	Am I the only one who	Am I the only one who automatically added a "David Caruso removing his sunglasses" pause while reading your comment?
2 years 33 weeks ago	You have an amazingly	You have an amazingly optomistic view of that response.   /not that I wouldn't like DG to redshirt as well.
2 years 37 weeks ago	who also suggests that if the	who also suggests that if the "referines" give Michigan the game again IU should join the Big 12. Careful what you wish for there buddy. If they want to give up their seat for ND or Texas, I'd gladly let them leave.
2 years 38 weeks ago	I've started my own flag	I've started my own flag ritual this year which consists of taking the flag down from the nails above my television and hanging it on the outside of my patio fence.  Nothing glorious, but it's worked for four games this year.
2 years 38 weeks ago	Not to be an ass, but did you	Not to be an ass, but did you watch the game?  I know Denard spoils us but Devin's running felt like slow-mo, though his passes were frickin' laser beams.  Tate came in and did his usual scramble magic but happened to have a couple of off or slow throws. I'm not picking on either QB as I thought they both did an excellent job but to me at least, your descriptions are precisely backwards.
2 years 39 weeks ago	Les Miles Syndrome:	Les Miles Syndrome:  Either your brass balls are too big to carry, or you lack the brains to know where you're going. Glad Sparty decided to break this out on ND and not us; one more thing to cover in special teams practice.
2 years 39 weeks ago	The beautiful part about this	The beautiful part about this game is someone has to lose.

2 years 42 weeks ago	Three weeks of growth going	Three weeks of growth going on here.  The beard looks great (coworkers changed my cubicle nameplate to 'caveman') but the 'stache could be fuller/darker.  I suppose that was to be expected with a fair-skinned, redheaded father.
2 years 43 weeks ago	Viva la cheesecake.  It was	Viva la cheesecake.  It was crude, but a part of EDSBS I enjoyed.
