14 hours 23 min ago Agreed.

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill, Ace.

 

Give it to players who have had their jersey number retired, should have their jersey number retired, or have won a Heisman. That's it.

2 weeks 14 hours ago Is that you, Aaron Shea?

If so, I haven't forgiven you for finishing my neighbor and I's Madden 97 game in South Quad during my freshman year. You probably don't remember, but he let you play for him and you proceeded to come back from a 17-point deficit in just under two minutes.

So, sorry, you're not getting my vote.

2 weeks 14 hours ago aka, the Pete Rose of the

aka, the Pete Rose of the mgoblog HOF.

5 weeks 10 hours ago Yeah, I knew I was probably

Yeah, I figured I was probably screwing up the numbers. Accountant, I am not.

However, I think we can agree that no matter the cost, this decision is dumb. It's not like sending the band will cause us to file for Chapter 11.

5 weeks 10 hours ago Guess again.

Former band member here. Generally, the band takes huge jumbo jets to the bowl site. You have to have something big enough to take upwards of 400 people, plus the instruments.

Also, the band rents out an entire semi-truck (and the driver) for about a week, in addition to the buses and their drivers.

I don't actually know what it costs exactly, but given my experience I'd be surprised if it's not at least $500K. Maybe for this one they'd stay at a cheaper hotel than they normally do for the bowl. But even if it was $500K, that would still be $4.2 million of profit for the AD.......

9 weeks 1 day ago Am I reading these quotes correctly?

 

Not that I want to turn into Section 1, but....

Here are his dad's quotes in the article.....

“I think that, for the most part, when you have a season as a freshman like he did, the NBA, they like them young. They think their ceiling is higher when they’re young,” Benji Burke said today. “Trey had some good games and a solid season for a freshman. It’s going to be one of the weaker point guard drafts in years. 

"The second thing is he was considered high. He does have some juice right now. It didn’t end well, but he ended up having some great games. He’s got to be one of the top five freshman guards in the country. He got a hold of some information, and you at least need to inquire.

“I can’t say he’s coming back, can’t saying he’s leaving. If it had my way, he’d be coming back.”

“Trey, he would love to come back, because he thinks they’re going to have a good team,” Benji said. “In the same breath, how do I pass up the opportunity of a lifetime, and risk injury? There’s risk on both sides. Anytime there’s risk on both and the NBA is one side, I don’t know if I’ll ever be as hot as I am now. If I had to guess, Trey would love to go to the NBA. There’s a lot of uncertainties there, as far as getting drafted first round. Those are the things we’re trying to weigh.”

Out of these fairly vanilla quotes, the Free Press headline is "Trey Burke Strongly Considering Leaving Michigan for NBA." Um, ok

First of all, Trey Burke's Dad != Trey Burke. Secondly, even if you think dad's word is the gospel, most of what he says isn't really wrong. He does aspire to play in the NBA, and he should inquire.

The wording of the headline implies that Burke is basically out the door already. They're fishing for clicks.

9 weeks 1 day ago They're fishing for clicks.

And it worked on me.

9 weeks 2 days ago Good write-up....

I'll disagree that it was the "Greatest Weekend in Yost History". You alluded to it....the '98 regional was better. We also went on to win the title.

30 weeks 1 day ago Nope.

Losing to Iowa would be much worse than losing to Illinois. (Or Purdue or OSU, for that matter, rivalry aside.)

 

Say that happened and we ended up tied with Iowa and MSU for 1st in the division, each of us with two losses.

 

Guess who the first team eliminated is? Michigan, because we went 0-2 against the other two teams (head-to-head is the first tie-breaker). Esentially whoever wins the MSU-Iowa game would be divison champ.

 

In fact, the only way we're going to win most of the two-loss tiebreakers is by making sure we sweep the rest of the division for a 4-1 record in division.

36 weeks 11 hours ago Aw, crap.

Gotcha, my bad. Guilty of skimming here.
